MSI Laptops Drivers

Yes. Doesn't matter the overclock.
GPU at 2050 mhz on desktop=CPU is like 8 watts lower power draw when idle and load (both).

GPU at 139 mhz on desktop= CPU is 8 watts higher power draw.

I have no way to measure CPU power draw directly. I have to rely on what the motherboard is reporting.

Look:

1) GPU idle on desktop. 3.5 ghz, 1.178v.



2) gpu 1900 mhz on desktop.


So, any of you engineers here want to explain this?
@Khenglish @Prema ?
or am I completely right that MSI is using some strange sort of combined power delivery system (which is why EC registers D8 and D9 have the system total current draw in hex with D9 the first value and D8 increasing from 00 to 01 when D9 reaches FF), and why Khenglish couldn't find power FETs for the GT73VR's MXM slot? Which ALSO explains exactly HOW and WHY "NOS" works?

Which also explains these variables embedded in the EC binary file?
CPU_CrtT = 1.CPU_ThtlT = 1.CPU_ThtlT = 0.SYS_CrtT = 1.SYS_ThtlT = 1.SYS_ThtlT = 0

Intel Management Engine Driver updated to v11.7.0.1067

@Prema

 

When you extract the file is says its version 11.8.50.3460....

 

Install it then tell me what version it installed

 

Most likely MEI v11.7.0.1057 who have been in in circulation a very long time And why install the whole bloated package?

 

that is the version installed for me...

 

Yeah, as expected Didn’t come as a surprise on me.

 

You both are wrong:

 

nope the version of the app is as you show, but the driver is the same old one.

 

You have the fully bloated package in your taptop What can you see in Device manager?

 

oh snap, you pwnd me

So I am finally installing Windows on my new lappy and this is what I've learned this day.

I found I needed to install System Control Manager after the chipset drivers since my system was booting to the gtx card and the second button on the right doesnt work until SCM is installed. Once I had that installed and I coot to the intel card install those drivers, restart, press button, restart to gtx card and then install those drivers.

 

Intel Rapid Storage Technology updated to v16.0.2.1086 (no more random freezes for RAID 0 with NVMe SSDs)
RAID Driver updated to v16.0.2.1086
Intel Management Engine Interface Driver updated to v12.0.1102

 

Intel Chipset Software updated to v10.1.16.3
Intel Thunderbolt Driver updated to v17.3.74.400
Intel Management Engine Interface Driver updated to v1803.12.0.1093

 

So what's going on here with the Intel MEI driver? Is the first one the Win-Raid.com version that Papusan linked to and the second an official one?

 

exactly, since MSI posted the new IMEI which is Redstone 4 compatible, let's keep it official and stick to manufacturer drivers where possible.

 

Remember the complete Drivers & Software Bloatware packages version number vs. the pure Mei driver version is never equal!!

For the records... Never install new Chipset drivers (I don't talk about Mei) if you already have installed older/current with a clean OS.

 

Why not? if you use the -overall command, you can install them just fine. I just updated mine today:

My taptop is still working fine

 

Read and learn, bruh. Chipset drivers ain't what you think they are. Please read >this< official statement from Intel regarding the importance and the function of the "Intel(R) Chipset Device Software".

MEI is another matter, bruh... You <can> get a gain if newer work better than what you already have.


Edit. Btw Did you check if you have leftovers with RAPR ?

Realtek Audio Driver v6.0.1.8383 / Nahimic v2.5.19 what driver is good install in gt73vr?

Sent from my CPH1723 using Tapatalk

 

That works 100% on the GT73, that's the laptop I have now.

I just renamed the thread to GT75 Drivers as 98% of them work on the GT73 with the exception of the Atlantis LAN Driver that is only for the GT75, rest all are the same. So go ahead and install that Realtek Driver

 

I use a steelseries Arctis 5 USB headset, is Nahimic still worth installing as it only affects the audio jacks as I understand it ?

 

It's a MUST

 

OK... I guess that means using the headset through the jack then ?
EDIT:
Latest version seems to support USB Audio... not seen that before.

 

Yes sir

Once you plug it in, you will get a popup

 

Okie. Guess I need ti find the adapter first though lol.

 

asm1 right now >>>>>>

 

Oh my ... you have no idea. Just done a massive clear up/tiday on all my stuff. Will be a while till I find it again. Funnily enough I did order spare.

/Me sees jiffy bag on living room table.

It will turn up when not looking, as usual....

 

There is a little devil called the lost items devil. You will NOT, I repeat, you will NOT find it until the new one has arrived, just cause....

 

Yeah like the sock monster that hides in your Washing machine ?

At the risk of dragging way off topic, plugging in the jacks means I lose the ability to use the microphone...

 

Got my laptop today. Tried installing Firefox>>>BSOD.....Tried installing touchpad driver>>>BSOD>>>>>Tried checking this thread, installing the chipset driver>>>>BSOD


sigh.... :/

 

Checked if it can run benchmarks as it works now? Run Cinebench R15 and monitor temp and clock speed with HWiNFO64. Post results with screenshoots.

 

Hello @Papusan

Thanks for the reply. Having a baby tomorrow so I'm stressed! May have to try and fix this when I get home from the hospital. I can tell you that the bsod is the one here.

https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/wdf-violation-blue-screen-error-on-windows-10-solved/

It's weird that the fixes are to update drivers as that's what makes the bsod happen

 

A BGA baby?
@Papusan !

Congratulations on the new family member, @Ginerashon !

 

@Falkentyne
Thanks! We are very excited and nervous

 

Did you get the machine like this or did it happen after you installed something? Did you update the drivers to the ones from this thread or just using it as is?

I will help you, fear not

 

Aquantia LAN Driver updated to v1.40.42.0

 

Hello @Phoenix

@Zoltan@HIDevolution is amazing and worked with me to get the drivers installed and worked on the bsod errors with me so I think I'm all set. With the wife at the hospital waiting for baby. Will need to work more on the laptop when I get back.

Thank you very much though and I definitely will want to take advantage of your tweaks when I get home..

 

perfect! So Zoltan installed the latest drivers from this thread?

HIDevolution's technical support is stellar!

 

Hello @Phoenix

That's correct. I tried the chipset yesterday and bsod happened. One of them had to do with steelseries so we updated that first and no further issues happened but we got everything up to date from your wonderful thread.

Hid support is awesome. He had great things to say about you and this community too
