My laptop installed it before I noticed it was there and tbh I have not noticed any issues so far.

Hi !
Does anyone have the 8850H model here?
If yes, can someone confirm if this chip is really "unlocked"?
By " unlocked" I mean that there were rumors that this chip allows the user to set the multiplier for each core to x40 so that the cpu frequency would not jump around depending on the number of used cores.
Is this true?
Does Dragon Center really allow the user to set x40 even for 1 core?
Is the 4.0 ghz super stable even during Fire Strike (like with 7820hk and 8950hk) or its jumping around occasionally?
Thank you! -
-
Hopefully someone with this cpu will read this and confirm if it is really overclockable in Drqgon Center or not.
If it was trully overclockable all [email protected] in DC than for me 8850h would be enough. -

It isn't hard to do.
Get the "Cannon lake" version of FPTW64 from win-raid.com
dump your bios with fptw64 -d mybiosbackup.rom -bios
Follow the instructions I wrote in Paloesco's MSI bios unlock thread to get the Hex offset key for "Bios Lock", using UEFItool and then using Universal IFR extractor, then looking for Bios Lock in the text file you made.
Change Bios Lock to disabled by booting to an EFI prompt with RU.EFI by using the proper hexadecimal offset
Boot to windows, change all of the menus in "Advanced" and submenus to "Supervisor" (will probably take a few hours of your time) using AMIBCP 5.0.2 (5.0.1 WILL cause corruption!!!!)
Flash your modified menus back with fptw64 -f mybiosbackup.rom -bios
and enjoy. -
I will answer one of the questions I have asked with the information I have found on the Aorus website:
https://www.aorus.com/blog-detail.php?i=303
It seems that both the 8850h and 8950hk are unlocked and the user can set core ratio. The difference is that the 8950hk with higher tdp and the extra power adapter can handle higher overclock.
But honestly 6 cores @ 4.4 ghz would be enough for me for gaming, not to mention that I would not have to carry around 2 power adapters, only one. Also it is $500 cheaper.
Now the only things I want to know, does MSI/DC also support overclocking of the 8850h and what is the max oc MSI DC allows? -
I have the 8850H version of the MSI GT75 8RG, what is the best way to check if it's unlocked without messing with the BIOS as I'm no expert and don't want to make newbie errors? -
There should be something similar in the new DC too. -
I have uninstalled DC but can reinstall, in the meantime anything else to use? Throttlestop maybe?

Yes! Thank you!
This means MSI GT75 with 8850H officially supports OC to 4.4 ghz!
This settles it.
I am passing on the 8950HK.
Yes it can OC higher however extra $500 and 1 more power brick to carry around just does not worth it for me. In my opinion 4.4 ghz is enough for games.
Thank you for the confirmation.
If it is not much to ask, could you please run a FireStrike test with this settings where I can see the cpu score and the cpu frequency and temps (displayed at thr bottom)? -
It's going to run hot with all 6 cores...
So you want everything at stock with 4.4 ghz on all cores and auto fans or cooler boost? How do I display the cpu freq and temps? -
FireStrike will monitor cpu frequency and temps, you can display them at the bottom of the result page. -
This is what I got so far...
I don't have the full version of 3D Mark so used HW Monitor, ambient temp around 22cAttached Files:

let me know. Let brother @Papusan know too.
These chips can exceed their TDP, unlike the HQ Processors? -
I believe this question has been answered in the above post.
If I am not mistaken the 8850H went up to 100W @ 4.4 Ghz ... and thus almost burns with stock paste (at least I hope its stock paste and thats why its so hot)
8850H is the unlocked i7 Coffe Lake, Intel just forgot to add K to its name.
Btw, @wilpang thanks for the benchmarks! -

Try running Cinebench R15 @ 4.4 ghz 5 times in a row, without pausing between tests, and tell me if your score remains the same or not, with absolutely NO throttle flags set in Throttlestop or HWinfo64.
If it does, I'll personally eat a frog.
@Papusan -
Or just run Cinebench in loop as already mentioned. It’s a own thread in NBR with explanations how to put it up. Or just click new/next rounds once the first one is finished.Falkentyne likes this. -

Is not there a change log of the E17A1IMS.325 bios?
I am stationary at E17A1IMS.31B (GT73VR 7RE) to avoid problems with patches for spectre and meltdown.
I would like to know if there are any major updates that would be worth updating from E17A1IMS.31B to E17A1IMS.325.
Thanks. -

@Phoenix nshittia released new drivers 397.93 today, gave it a shot yet on your msi? I will be trying now.
-
must be a regional thing that update does not show up for me. -
-
Nah don't bother my card still downclocks with that driver. Sigh.

MSI updated the nVIDIA Driver from 390.94 to 391.48. Check the OP for the link -
Did you get it from the ge63 site or so? Does it recognize our gpu's too?
