MSI Laptops Drivers

No need to have to use the big hammer, bruh. Just use same clocks as j00 And I put in 49x so you can have a goal.
47X - 1062cb


49X - 1102cb


@Phoenix You can't let the Evgabook + Awbooks beat your score. J00 can't let Tripod in AW and flawed firmware in Evga be on top in Cinebench R15 4.4GHz should be good for +990 cb (969cb for AW and 972cb for Evga). Up the game bruh.

 

has half this thread disappeared ?

 

is running the fan booster ok while gamming temps at 60 but with it on temps at 35...

running it at 100% like that burn out the fan?

 

Fans don't burn out. Fans controllers actually run hotter at lower speeds because you change the resistance to make it run at a lower voltage when the source voltage is higher, but I don't know if this applies to PWM fans or DC fans. Not an electrical guy.

 

So it is not just me then....? I was looking for/in your drivers thread. I was sure it had about double the number of pages. This is messing with my sense of wellbeing.

 

well I don't mind drivers discussion but a drivers thread reaching 66 pages is just....

This is the time to NOT be brave. Not be like......the brave guy.....

 

Hope you are more lucky than the AW Camp Who is the first to try?

 

I upgraded my BIOS, now the MSI Splash screen appears faster when you boot up. Be Brave...be like Phoenix...

 

But will the hardware run faster Time for bench

 

bios upgrade worked fine for me.

 

Do you notice your taptop booting faster? As in, the MSI splash screen appears faster than it did before?

 

yea it seems a bit faster.

 

yeah that's what I felt too. Thanks for confirming.

 

They always fix bugs and don't announce it.
Did your cinebench scores go down?
I'm really afraid to flash. After seeing all the problems with these spectre and meltdown microcodes and stuff...

Witcher 3 lost 20 FPS in one test...(that was with both patches together. with just one I think it was 5 fps but that's 5 fps I won't have).

sorry for threadjack...

 

As long you can't reach upper normal level on Cinebench scores with a fixed clock speed you can't really tell exactly how the fix affect the scores. Too many variables.

 

Sorry, NOT updating because of this.

Thank you for warning me, @Papusan.

I HIGHLY doubt MSI has the "new" fix yet, too.

 

well the switching from iGPU to dGPU from BIOS bug is back. When I switched, the screen only shows a black screen while I see the SSD light blinking as if Windows loaded just fine. I had to do a rest by holding the power button for 30 seconds

 

Phoenix, you have the unlocked key combo.
Just fix it yourself.
Unlock combo->advanced->SYSTEM AGENT(SA)->PEG PORT->PEG ROOT PORT 1 (very top).
Change Auto->ENABLED.

No more black screens ever.

 

I dunno how you discover these things man! you are a legend my friend!

 

@Falkentyne

Like this?

 

Yes, exactly.

It wasn't that hard to discover. Just some simple logic and guesswork. It's clear that the iGPU being activated and the dGPU being 'inserted' but not detected (not shown in device manager) with iGPU active, can only be possible if the PEG Port is deactivated, otherwise the dGPU would show up as a deactivated device or something. But switching to dGPU and getting a black screen is only possible if the peg port is deactivated, the eDP output is deactivated or still trying to use the iGPU for output. so I had the bright idea of enabling it rather than using the auto setting.

When Auto fails, there's always the kitty...

This not only prevented any more black screens, but also has absolutely ZERO drawbacks. If you switch to iGPU, the dGPU isn't there (i did not check device manager for 'hidden devices' to see if the dGPU is still sitting around, but there's no point).

 

@Falkentyne Thank you so much for fixing my taptop the GPU BIOS switch now worked like a charm

 

Intel Rapid Storage Technology updated to v15.9.0.1015

 

Phoenix, Which page did you find " Realtek ALC899 HD Audio Driver v6.0.1.8302 / Nahimic v2.5.19" under? I've been watching;

• https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GT73VR-7RE-TITAN.html#down-driver&Win10 64
• https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GT73VR-7RF-Titan-Pro#down-driver&Win10 64
• https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GT75VR-7RE-TITAN.html#down-driver&Win10 64

but all of those have older versions. Do you have some other magic that lets you find new firmware and decide it applies to the GR73VR?

 

If you want to ask any member a question, either quote their post, or put an @ in front of their name, with no space. @Phoenix

@Falkentyne @Shehary

I guess my CPU Microcode was updated with this BIOS update?

 

j00 find it here as well... And yeah, it's new.

 

ahhh so that's the mysterious changelog that MSI didn't tell us

 

I always take a screenie before any changes. If something being changed I will know it.

 

No BIOS update yet for GT73VR-6RF.....

 

The website is weird at the moment. The Latest BIOS for my Ge62 7RF (Apache pro) is apparently E16JBIMS.313 released 7 November 2017.

Except I already have installed a later update :

E16JBIMS.314 released 26 December 2017

Something odd is going on.... I have cleaned cache and tried different browsers so that's not it.

 

These MSI Drivers Team don't know what they're doing really! Now they pulled the latest BIOS and posted an older one E17A1IMS.31E with a date of 2017-11-09

 

Audio Drivers downgraded to Realtek ALC899 HD Audio Driver v6.0.1.8273 as they have been updated on the MSI GT73VR Titan Pro with Windows 10 Redstone 3 drivers so no point stealing newer ones form other models and Nahimic has been also updated to v2.5.19 on the MSI GT73VR Titan Pro Drivers download page

 

Ok so I downgrade the BIOS to E17A1IMS.31E and the ME Firmware was untouched and remained at v11.8.50.3425 so that answers my question regarding the ME Firmware whether it needs to be updated when a different BIOS is installed, it stays the same.

 

A bit disconcerting when they revert BIOS. Makes me go hmmm...

Whatever you do, do NOT under any circumstances "Temporarily" disable the ME via the "ME state : Enabled/Disabled" bios option. If you do that,with this ME version, you won't be able to re-enable it; it stays "Temporarily Disabled." I pm'd Prema about this and he was trying to help but none of his suggestions worked. The only way I may be able to reenable the ME is to find a way to flash it again (which is failing; the windows driver can't communicate with the "temporarily disabled" ME so Intel firmware update is failing, and Intel flash tool is saying "CPU does not have read (or write) access to this region" even if Bios Lock is disabled.

Clearly this is purely MSI's fault since the win-raid file is identical to the file in the MSI ME firmware update tool they posted. Or it could be the ME's fault. Or both. I dont know. I don't want to risk a brick by using that EFI boot disk (after disabling secure boot) and running setup_var 0x6a9 0x01, and then rebooting, going back to DOS and then trying to flash with DOS FPT with the rewrite command. One user had a brick of his bios after doing the setup_var command and rebooting. But those are my only 2 options: try that command and "unlock" the descriptor region and flash, or take out the 1070 video card, put the SPI programmer and pomona 5250 clip to the red Bios chip, and flash. And I'm not prepared to do all that work since the laptop still works fine, besides BCLK adjusting being unavailable and the CPU saying 0 mhz in bios.

This isn't the first time i 'temporarily' disabled the ME.
I did this back on Bios .313 to see what would happen, and it re-enabled fine after I saw "0 mhz?? screw that", and reenabled it no problem. However I do **NOT** know if I had spread spectrum at 0% or 50% in Intel ICC Bios option, during that time. I know that when the ME is enabled, setting spread spectrum from .50 to 0 and saving causes a "Warm" (fast) reset of the Bios, instead of the usual 5 second cold reset. But only on the first save and exit. then it is fine.

Basically, when I try to "re-enable" my ME, the exact same thing happens---warm reset instead of long 5 second reset, and it still says "ME temporarily disabled".

I'm not going to worry about it cuz the system still works. Unless something requires me to somehow forcibly enable it with a chainsaw later (like some windows update).

 

I expect you will sell this one when you buy new.

 

It's BGA filth, Papusan. FIlth deserves to be burned! (I might actually keep it as a backup).

somehow I have 6.0.1.8328 and Nahimic 2.5.24,,,,
not sure how or what I was thinking but seems to be working.

got realtek back to 8273 but Nahimic says revert not supported haha

but an uninstall and reinstall fixed that nonsense.

 

yes especially when they pulled the BIOS updates from ALL their models, literally...hmmm....

 

Try this, go to overclocking features and disable overclocking completely

Now, enable fast boot, it should stick now that overclocking is disabled.

now try to enable ME

 

More than you who will skip BGA... From the AW Camp forum.notebookreview.com/official-alienware-17r4-owners-lounge @Phoenix I offer help/expertise to all.

A reason, never be the first. Aka GP!!

 

Yeah the stuff you have to do when you buy an Alienware taptop, buy it brand new, then open it up and fix it

MSI taptops work out of the box, oh and they have a keyboard that you can actually type on by the way... (ehmm ehmm Clevo) Poopoosan >>> <<<< Phoenix on his SteelSeries Keyboard
