GT70 2OD-407US 9S7-176312-407 Setup

Hi guys, just ordered this and wanted to know is there a right way to set this up for the first time?
The 20C I returned, seemed a bit weird, wifi and Bluetooth were on and c drive was 27% fragmented and d drive was 63%.
It was slow and recovery would load different drivers each time.
Its on neweggs site but I cant seem to post the link here..

Also setting time zone before windows setup is pacific by default and changing it to eastern time does nothing.
Its off by an hour which seems to mess up initial restore point.
When using killer bigfoot for the first time it needs to test you speed but, it cant unless you have java and flash player installed.
So how are you supposed to get it when killer lan is all greyed out?
GeForce Experience? Why? Its dual gpu system for graphics.

Adding mSATA/mSSd to a MSI GT70 2OD-407US

Hi,
I'm a new owner of an MSI GT70 (wife finally let me buy one). I'm not at all new to modding computers of varies calipers. I honestly haven't been in the game in 3 years and coming back up the ladder because the technology has changed. I've kinda been in a geeks purgatory(married and in the ARMY), so life's been really busy for me and has not allowed me to keep up with current tech.
My Question. Modding my GT70 2OD-497US:
MAXing RAM to 16GBs, Easy. that's a no brainer.
where I need help is adding mSata/mSSD to my MSI to use it as a boot drive for the Window 7 Home Premium it comes with.. Thinking about add 128/256GB as boot and recovery as well as other important files and using the 1 TB 7200RPM HDD as pure storage to run programs, videos, movies, and music off of. (I'm not a big gamer)
I have not received my MSI yet and won't touch it for another month or so. I have plenty of time to figure it out. This question been raking my brain for a week, so that's why I'm post for some help.
Any information no matter if you're "talking above my head or not" is highly appreciative. If I think I don't know what you're talking about I will ask questions and do tons of research.. I used to be at the top of the GEEK food chain, but starting at the bottom now. I don't mind admitting that. The Army and marriage takes a lot of my time.
Add-on to message: I do not know if the GT70 2OD-407US comes with the msata slot board, it should, but can't seem to verify. If not I can buy one.

So lets back this up with a number of facts.
I can't find any information about the GT70 2OD-497US so....
Does the notebook come with an SSD?
If it does, then you will have the "Super Raid" adapter that lets you put mSATA drives into the laptop.
If it does NOT, then you will NOT have the "Super Raid" adapter, and you will not be able to put mSATA drives into the laptop.....without attaining a Super Raid adapter. This is difficult. MSI will NOT sell them. If you are LUCKY, you might be able to talk to a distributor or company that offers customized MSI notebooks into selling you just the adapter, but I'm not sure they will. If they will not, you're pretty much SoL. Supposedly there was a chinese company selling the adapters, but I don't recall the name or if they still are.
In all honesty, if you don't have the adapter, I would just order a regular 2.5" SSD drive instead and live with it.
A couple of other things I can suggest.
Get at a minimum a 240/256GB SSD. You'll find that after installing Windows and such you only have roughly 75 gigs maybe left on your 128GB SSD. And I just don't think that's enough. The 240/256GB drives are cheap enough now that you shouldn't have any problems getting it.
When you partition your SSD, only partition it for about 85% of the total space (so 85% of 256GB = 215 GB). Leave the rest of it unpartitioned. This is called over-provisioning, and will help to maintain the overall speed of the SSD (read/write speed) during the entire life of the SSD. The reason it does this is because it provides more space for TRIM to work, even if you completely fill the partition you created. If you had fully partitioned the drive, and almost filled it, the speed would start to deteriorate because there isn't enough 'space' to do TRIM anymore and it has to work harder to do it, causing your overall read/write speed to decrease. This is especially bad on Samsung drives. (for more information, go search around on www.anandtech.com, plenty of good information and benchmarks to backup my statements)
Other than those tips, you should be good to go.....BUT!
The VERY FIRST THING YOU DO AFTER LOGGING INTO YOUR NEW NOTEBOOK? Please please please create the backup DVD's! MSI does not provide backup media inside the box. You need to make these on your own using the included MSI Burn Recovery software.

GT70-2OD BSOD after BIOS /EC update

Hello all,
I was having wireless disconnect issues with the Killer N1202. I had changed a couple of my wireless router's settings and updated to the latest Killer drivers / network manager and turned off the application monitoring. I still had the disconnect issue.
In my zeal to fix the problem, I decided to flash the BIOS and EC firmware. The notebook is the GT70-2OD (1763) RAID, full color backlit keyboard, Windows 8 64-bit so these are the files I used to flash:
BIOS - w8_E1763IMS.70E.zip - flashed with EFI_Boot process
EC firmware - w8_1763EMS1.505.zip - used winflash in Windows 8 - made sure i closed as many apps as I could beforehand.
Followed the flashing instructions to the letter. After each flash, disconnected the AC and removed the battery for no less than 5 minutes.
When I booted the notebook back up, I got the BSOD - VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (igdkmd64.sys) when I tried to log in to Windows. At that point, had to go into safe mode and disable the Intel graphics driver. This allowed me to log in. I then tried updating the Intel graphics driver to the latest Win8-64 version. Still got the same BSOD at login.
With even more zeal, decided to rebuild to the factory Windows installation with the MSI recovery. It pulls up the initial config screens in Windows, but still the same BSOD. Can't even get to safe mode now or get past the configuration screens. Safe mode isn't an option either. Windows throws an error that it cannot enter safe mode because setup has not completed. So much for zeal.
Just looking for some suggestions.
Is there a way to roll back the EC and BIOS? If I can, and if it's even advisable at this point, where would I find the older versions? The product and download sites only list the most recent.
Thanks for any help on this.

I haven't tried any different drivers other than the ones I mentioned in my post. I will try a fresh install of the OS and go from there. Ran the memtest86+ util for three passes and the memory looks good. Unfortunately, I didn't record what versions of the previous EC and BIOS.
I will post the results of the fresh OS install soon.
Thanks
George

Can I install Windows 7 on a GT70 2OD-019US that came with Windows 8?

I have a GT70 2OD-019US, that came with Windows 8. I want to install Windows 7 instead, and forget about the trauma of Win8.
My Win 8 isn't the type that offers the downgrade.
I just want to know can (and how) I install Win 7 Home Premium from a legit disc.
I'm reasonably tech savvy, but a beginner when it comes to playing around with the OS.
Notebook spec below.
Thanks in advance for all assistance!
Chris

Thanks Nichrome and darkhawk. I'll try booting from the disc using Legacy.
I hadn't heard of Start8 - it looks good, if I end up keeping Win8 it'll be worth the few bucks to make it feel like Win7.
It's what I did, and honestly, outside of the 'looks' of Windows 8, it makes it feel like Windows 7 enough that it's worth the $5.

GT70 2OD downloads bios driver firmware

i have GT70 2OD-019US
i tried to update my graphic card driver from http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-2OD.html#download
it didnt work it said not compatiable
im using latest beta driver from nvidia webiste
you guys have right stuff on the website
there is so much variation i didnt see GT70 2OD-019US link so i guess i could use downloads from GT70 20D
maybe im wrong
download was hard to find and stuff not working
support sucks

Quote from: spacealien on 17-September-13, 04:21:57
im confused just as you are.
I like to keep my stuff updated to the latest so i went to nvidia website
download the driver for geforce gtx 780m
i tried to install the driver but it wont let me install cuz it's not compatible with my card
so i went to the link above download the oem graphic card driver which im not too clear it's right one for my laptop
cuz it's doesn't say gtx 780 it says something like nvidia n14 chipset i have no idea what it mean
i installed it cuz that's all i can find for my laptop. it let me install but my geforce card doesn't work
my laptop switch over to intel graphic card and my nvidia card has red x on it under device tree
fortunately i found the latest beta nvidia work on my laptop otherwise i could ended up with non working video card
the title
all the downloads im not sure they are right stuff for my laptop
i updated bios, firmware, and some of the driver
they are working so far i haven't found any problem with them
the graphic card driver make me think that maybe the stuff i updated might not be right for my laptop
im confused with many gt 70 series
http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-win7-64bit-326.80-beta-driver.html
Try that driver.
The problem with the 320.49 'release' drivers is that they don't include the proper information to work with the newer GTX7XXM video cards on MSI laptops. You need to download the latest beta drivers, as they have the proper information to work. The next release, whatever that might be, should work just fine then.
As far as the other drivers...
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-2OC.html#download
should have all the drivers you need. You can try going to the individual manufacturer website to update them too, such as Intel for the Intel iGPU.

BTW MSI site stated this
"If the notebook you purchased has Win7 Bios installed, please DON'T attempt to update using Windows 8 bios (or vice versa). Failure to abide may result in bricking your system."
Since this laptop came with no OS and installed windows 7 on it is it save to flash 70W?
Just wanna know for sure.
I will dump my GPU bios with GPU-Z

Yes it is,but you may need to use attached archive. [.1xx and .3xx and Win7 BIOSes, your current one is Win8 BIOS]
by extract all files then executing FLASHWIN64.BAT
once flashing is done change Sata mode from RAID[default] to AHCI

MSI GT70 2OD eSATA Port

I might be asking a stupid question here but where is the eSATA port on the MSI GT70 2OD?
On the MSI website under specification it states (sorry can't seem to post a hyperlink):
eSATA 1
eSATA/USB Combo 1
If it is one of the USB ports, what type of adapter do I need to use eSATA (without loosing performance by running under USB)

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-770m
According to that it is supported.
I'm not certain how well it will work, but it should. I would assume it does over Display Port, but I honestly have no idea as I don't have any.

MSi GT70 2OD GPU

Hi guys.
I´m new here, but I have one question.
Is it possible to change GPU on MSi GT70 2OD notebook? I whould like to change from GTX780M to GTX980M.

It will most likely work fine. You can get a 980M for $720 and a 970M for $450. Either card will probably work. The 970m works fine in my system (a GT60 2OD 780m). No reason a 980m wouldn't also work fine. You will need to do a small heatsink mod with a dremel or rotary tool. Took me about 5 minutes.
Eventually you will be able to find official MSI 970m heatsinks on eBay or forums from other users. You can then purchase that and have an official MSI heatsink.
There is a thread I created over at notebook review forums under MSI section showing the mod required and how I did it. Goodluck with your upgrading.
