    Hi everyone! New member here and as of today a new laptop owner! Just received my new MSI E7405 a while ago and man, it looks better than i imagined.

    After just getting my new laptop, and being a new laptop owner in general, is there anything i should do and check? Any special programs i should get to monitor temps, clocks and what not?

    Any feedback would be great, thanks :)

    I use GPU-Z to monitor GPU information and temps, but ATI's Catalyst Control Center will serve the same purpose. FRAPs will be nice for monitoring your gaming performance from time. Make sure you flash your vBIOS if it isn't already the latest version! post #1299

    CCleaner is a nice app that will clear unnecessary system files from time to time and make sure junk doesn't pile up and slow down your system.

    Alright, thank you so much. I'll be sure to flash the vbios whenever I get the chance to.
