GT70 Dragon Edition 2: Fan speed/heat issue

I have a problem with the fan speed on my GT70. The CPU and GPU gets hot (between 75-80 degrees celsius) but the fan does not speed up, while playing Fallout New Vegas. The fan speed is very low and makes no noise.
It does speed up when I play Metro Last Light (obviously more demanding game). I suppose the problem is with the CPU fan speed tables.
Is there any way to lower or set the desired/target temperature so the fan will speed up faster and keep the CPU and GPU temp lower?
I have already updated the firmware.

Lacie 500GB External Hard Drive Fan speed / heat issues?

I have a 500gb Lacie Mini hard drive with the 1394/usb2.0 hub and for some reason when it is connected to my mac mini in the office, it works totally fine, doesnt spin really fast or anything. When I take it home and hook it up to my other mac mini, after 10-15 minutes the fan starts to blow at full speed on the Lacie. The mac mini at home is from March 2005 and its a 1.66 Core Duo, and the one at the office is from March 2007, and is also a 1.66 Core Duo, both with 2gb of ram.
I have noted at the bottom of my home mac mini is very warm to the touch after feeling between the drive and the computer, but it seems odd to me that both computers dont get just as hot considering they are virtually identical aside from the build date. Has anyone else experienced this problem with their Lacie mini drive? The fan spins so high on the drive that its annoying to even use it, and I'd like to take care of it if theres a remedy.
Thanks!

I agree, the link you posted is strangely inaccurate. I have been trying to post the attempts on this link: http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=109630#109630 but as you can tell I have been frustrated with the whole process. The posts may be confusing because they are step by step. The lacie drive is loud under the mini but not when it is by itself.
As of now the test seem to be inconclusive. It is so strange that I would be convinced if someone told me the fan in the lacie has a temperature sensor inside. But the only thing I can come up with is that the mini gets hot on the bottom, while the lacie gets hot on top. Their combined heat seems to be too much for the lacie's fan to cool. I will also mention that I have fan control software installed on the mini, but this doesn't seem to have any effect as I am not changing the settings during my tests.
The fan having a temperature sensor is just crazy... I removed the fan from the lacie (fan still plugged in) and set up the stack. The lacie bottom was removed for this test. The lacie fan never turned on, and the drive increased in temperature that I felt was too hot. This is where sensing strips would assist in further data.
So here is my next step: Since the fan didn't turn on when the lacie bottom was removed, it seems that the open back and open bottom (the back and bottom is one piece) was enough to keep the sensor from turning on the fan. But as said before, I felt the drive was still too hot. So maybe the lacie case needs more ventilation. Two ways I have thought to do this:
----- cut the fan one large hole instead of a bunch of little ones, allowing more air out.
- or -
----- cut the bottom vents out (maybe not all of them) to allow more air intake.
I think the first one would solve the problem, but I don't currently have the time to do it. I am going to cut the fan hole first, once I get the time.
I will tell you that the lacie drive is mounted closest to the top of the case. I have thought of purchasing some thermal sensing strips to determine what is hot and when; haven't yet.
AndyO, you said everything right except one part... the mini's air-intake is the vents on the bottom, and the air is obviously pushed out the back by the horizontal fan (there is a special plastic mold that the fan sits horizontally in). Which you would lead us to believe that the mini would heat up with the lacie underneath, but I haven't noticed any drastic changes in the mini fan speed or temperature. Instead the lacie drive gets hot or at least the fan goes crazy.
Hope this helps, I'll let you know when I get the scalpel (really sharp knife) out.

MSI GT70 DRAGON EDITION Graphics driver issue

hi,
i purchased a MSI GT70 DRAGON EDITION wich came with an Arabic version of windows 8 (purchased in saudi arabia).so yesterday i did a clean installation of windows 7 64 bit Sp1 and for my bad luck my 4GB graphic card was not running.i checked in device manager it shows 2 graphic cards one of it is the onboard Intel graphics 4000 and the other one was just vga. i tried installing all particular drivers for it but it says graphic card not supported.
please help me out with this.
regards,
robin

please guide me .
in nvidia control panel it shows the laptop display is connected to the intel HD4000 how do i move it to nvidia.
regards ,
rob
What exactly do you mean? Like when you want to play a game? You need to open up the NVidia control panels, go to "Manage 3D Settings", and then in the right most pane, click on the "Program Settings" tab. In there, you need to add each game/program you want to use the NVidia adapter with when it runs. This allows you to only use the NVidia adapter when you're running programs that require that graphics card. Very neat, and cool feature.

17.3" high performance gaming NB - Limited MSI GT70 Dragon Edition

In recent 2 years, MSI did not focus on the Ultrabook series as many other brands, they mainly focused on high performance of Gaming series Notebooks,
that makes MSI to become a well known gaming products company in the market, also shows how important of the Gaming related market.
MSI Gaming, Dell Alienware and ASUS ROG are the top 3 of the gaming laptop products in the gaming laptop market,
that's the well known brands in the gaming laptop market. The higher product position comes with much higher price range.
MSI extend their Gaming series become more price range segments, GT series on the top, GX series based on AMD platform,
and GE series focus on the performance level market with better Cost/Value, so that more consumer could consider their GE series with better price range.
This time we would like to share the latest version of MSI GT70 - The GT70 Dragon Edition.
The GT70 Dragon Edition totally changed with their box design, make it slimmer and with better looks of their dragon logo to impressed gamers and power users.
The ID design of GT70 Dragon Edition.
Compare with their regular GT70, the GT70 Dragon Edition use red metallic cover design with the Dragon Tattoo on it,
that makes GT70 more gaming style and high performance looks.
The metallic cover with normal light will be deep red, but the metal will reflect light of the color with different angle,
so the color of the red will be lighter when outdoor with sunshine.

34~38℃ when idle mode. (Cooler Boost on)
Run the InteBurn Test to make CPU with full loading - 73~86℃(Cooler Boost off)
Run the InteBurn Test to make CPU with full loading - 72~77℃(Cooler Boost on)
We use idle mode and full loading test to compare the Cooler Boost fan function to check difference.
The temperature difference of Cooler Boost on and off, it's about 2 degree when idle,
and biggest gap is 11 degree when CPU is full loading burning test, so the Cooler Boost really helps when users need it.
Besides the fan performance, about the noise of the cooler, it's not easy to hear the fan noise if Cooler Boost is off, and Cooler Boost will make the noise louder for sure.
But the noise is not high frequency that makes people uncomfortable, if you listen to the music or play games with Dynauido sound system, you will not hear the noise even you turn on the Cooler Boost.
Many notebooks with Dual Core will be 40℃ more when idle mode, and full loading will be 80~90 degree.
So the temperature of GT70 with Core i7 and GTX675MX is really well controlled, MSI did have good design skill on the thermal solution with small space inside the notebook.
Conclusion of MSI GT70 Dragon Edition:
Pros:
1. Dragon Edition makes the chasses with special coating with Dragon Tattoo, also improve the packing a lot. Upgraded hardware on GTX675MX and Killer Double Shot.
2. Dual mSATA3 SSD and 2.5 inch 750GB HDD makes great balance of performance and capacity. 4xDDR3 DIMM with good extend of the RAM size.
3. Rich on IO interface, 3 USB3.0 and 2 USB2.0, with HDMI, D-Sub and eSATA as well.
4. Full size keyboard by Steelseries with back light, add on Turbo, Cooler Boost to boost up GPU and fan performance.
5. Special 2 channel with 1 subwoofer design with Sound by Dynaudio system, the sound quality even better than previous version of GT70.
6. Built in 1920x1080 Full HD matted display, that will makes your eyes more comfortable when gaming or watching movies.
7. Latest Killer Double Shot function, the LAN is faster and WiFi comes with 2x2 and 2.4GHz/5GHz dual band design.
Cons:
1. SSD will be better if use the Micron or Marvell control chip.
2. Maybe IPS panel is more expensive, but still expect the GT70 could option with IPS panel in the future.
3. The NVIDIA graphics driver still need to improve on Windows 8 system, some 3D benchmark or games still can't get good performance on GTX675MX with full speed.
4. Recommend to use Creative Sound Core3D quad core sound chipset.

Gt70 dragon edition 2 random bsod

hello everyone ,, 4 days ago i bought a new msi gt70 dragon edition 2 with these system specs
i7-4700mq processor
nividia geforce gtx780m
750gb +128g ssd(super raid)
ram 32gb
os: windows 8
and i got random BSOD's a lot until now i got like 8 BSOD's and it just happens randomly .. i tried a lot of thing ,, changing drivers , deleting programs and even the (Killer's network drivers only [without software suite])
driver ... please tell me what to do .. this is the dump file to read the error or something like that
although i tried attaching the file on the post but i couldn't so i guess i'll have to upload it to mediafire
www(.)mediafire(.)com/download/d82175lxyof34zd/SF_04-01-2014.zip <<< please remove the () between the .
guys please tell me if it's something related to the hardware so i could replace the laptop itself within the given days because i bought it couple days ago

Okay. I see the confusion. He is using the drivers that Svet recommended. Which are slightly newer than your own, but are also without the Killer Network Manager and must be installed manually. (10.0.1.263 for the Wireless and 8.0.2.42 for the e2200)
My issues with the wireless seemed to go away with Svet's drivers - which was essentially a newer download pinned to the forums of what Warner gave to you. He could give Warner's a try but they basically are the same. I assumed my issue didn't go away as I was having another BSOD issue that didn't exactly specify which device was causing the BSOD.
As for my issue - I have uninstalled the Logitech software and haven't had a crash within the past day and a half. I noticed the longer I have the laptop on, the more likely the BSOD. So, I am leaving it on all day playing games off and on.
I did notice that SetPoint does install software that is meant for keyboards. Simply because Logitech has a unified driver suite between their mice and keyboards able to use a single wireless dongle, eliminating the need to use one for each device. This could, in theory, be causing an issue with the MSI SCM. Most people think of the SCM as a control app, but it also installs a service (called Micro Star SCM) which handles event communication between several different driver packages/software. This is why when the SCM is uninstalled, the keyboard light manager fails to start up as well as Hybrid Power and a few other MSI apps. If uninstalling the Logitech software does work, then it could be that the keyboard manager in SetPoint is intercepting events that should be going to the SCM service.
If it crashes again, I will swap out the mouse itself. I'll update my thread on this issue on the next crash or in a few days if I have no further issues. I'm crossing my fingers and thanks for the tips.

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition

So I purchased the GT70 Dragon Edition and downgraded it from Win8 64 to Win7 64 and found out that this laptop is made only for wWin8 64 which means there are no video drivers for Win7 64 on it.....That started causing unreal video lags in my online Steam games... I wanted to ask: will there be any new video drivers for win7 64 on the GT70 Dragon Edition laptop?! Or never will?

Since no MSI drivers for Win7 will be released (as Dragon is Win 8 only) those will not appear on product site.

GT70 Dragon Edition playing cuts

Hello,
i have a new GT70 Dragon Edition Laptop and i have a problem.
I'm playing any game (fifa2013, F12012, Dirt3, Batman Arkam City ..) and while I'm playing I have micro cuts, jumps on the screen.
for example, in F12012 in a curve, it seems as if it redraws
in fifa13in fifa13 for cuts to move laterally as relentizacions.
in WRC2 the problem is different. the game does not detect the NVidia 680m, only detects the Intel HD 4000. You can disable the Intel HD 4000?
thanks in advance
Note: all games are original and are all updated.

Enable "vsync" from nvidia control panel and within game itself.

no that's not possible, but its no need too.

install latest beta drivers from nvidia.com
if its still not detected you can force this game to use dedicated GPU within nvidia control panel,
or right click on startup icon and choose prefered GPU to run

MSI GT70 Dragon Edition Nvidia Problem

First of all my first languages is'nt English if you can understand I would be gratefull.
I use MSI GT70 Dragon Edition with Ge force GTX 675 MX but Windows 8 doesn't recognise my graphic card.When I click the dxdiag I see Intel Graphic Cards.

Quote from: darkhawk on 14-January-13, 00:09:48
Yeah, ignore dxdiag and put a real 3D game in and see if it switches, thats the real test.
Wow am I late to the party. However I also fear that my GTX780M is not actually functioning in games with my GT70. How do I know for certain that it is "switching" from the Intel HD graphics. My distrust comes from the fact the in advanced tab under screen resolution (Windows 8) it always displays the Intel Graphics. The Nvidia card is listed as working in the device manager however. All of my power setting are set to gaming/high performance and in the Nvidia settings I have the GTX 780M set to global. Thanks is anyone can provide feedback.

GT70 Dragon Edition How to recover my Pre-installed windows 8

I have this GT70 Dragon Edition, and i accidentally messed up with it. I was just playing around with the bios and tried to separate the Super Raid 0 of two 128GB Msata, coz im planning to upgrade it in to two 512 in the future.. Unfortunately i accidentally deleted that partition and lost the files in it. So my Laptop doesnt load windows 8 anymore.. I tried the F3 Recovery tool, but it's not functioning. I then installed Windows 7 64bit and run in Legacy boot mode.. While installing the Windows 7 It appears that there's this Disk 1 Partition 2: BIOS_RVY (total Size)21.0GB, ( free space)3GB , OEM Reserved. As i read from other posts. This is where your windows 8 Product Key and etc. are stored. So Please help me restore My Windows 8 coz i really like it and i chose this laptop because of the Pre-installed Windows 8(less expenses).

Quote from: darkhawk on 23-June-13, 10:12:25
I really hate saying this, but most likely the only way to get the disks is to either send the laptop back for MSI to reinstall the factory software, or perhaps purchase the restore disks from MSI, if they sell them.
>>How to contact MSI.<<
I just downloaded a WINDOWS 8 ISO from the Internet and managed to install it. So im using my Windows 8 now.. but the problem is, it's not activated and some pre-installed software from MSI are gone. is there any way to recover my FILES from the BIOS_RVY Partition coz i can see it in the DISK MANAGEMENT and when i right click it, it only shows "Help"
