MOVED: coffe on my msi gt60

This topic has been moved to MSI Notebooks & Netbooks.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=181631.0

At the very least I would check the keyboard to make sure that there isn't any latent coffee that has dried up anywhere....that certainly won't help the longevity of the laptop.

Coffe on my msi gt60

HI i just spilled coffe on my laptop, everything still works as it did before. no keys are sticky or non-functional(using it right now spilled coffe 50 mins ago).
But right when it happend i took out the power source cable and put it on the side to let as much as possible to come out.
but what i wonder is, should i be worried that it will break if i use it now without checking the inside of keyboards etc?. I mean everything seems to work fine like it used to.
P.s sorry for my english(not my first language)
thx in advance

MSI GT60 0NC Erratic Touchpad

I just purchased a GT60 laptop and there was an immediate issue with the touchpad. The cursor moves very erratically, often jumping from one place to another. Control is very limited. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad drivers including the latest synaptic drivers to no avail. I've run the laptop under safe mode and the problem persists. I've also done a full system restore and there has been no solution. I would greatly appreciate some advice as I am getting very discouraged with my new purchase, I'm starting to believe it is a hardware issue.

purchased my first MSI GT60 for business vs gaming due to many of the great features in June 2012 ... exchanged computers a few months later - not functioning properly.
Right now, I am very frustrated with MSI, after doing a lot of research into purchasing this "deluxe" laptop, I am regretting this selection and fed up for the wasted time - which I would like to charge back to MSI for lost productivity.
Not long into the 2nd MSI GT60 started to experience:
a) cursor bouncing around - I don't have time to play "let's find the cursor" and once you find it, play "let's find what words/sentences it changed when it hopped elsewhere on the page".
b) slowness!!! ??? how on earth with 12 G RAM, a brand spanking new i7 processor and 1 T hd - which had NO DATA transferred and stored on it (using external back up and 30 G usb) was it slow????
c) " S bar stopped loading and working
d) intel turbo booster stopped working
e) my on screen keyboard stopped working
f) mouse touch pad nor an external mouse was intermittently working ... when it felt like it, it would come around
g) moving from WORD to EXCEL, the pages would temporarily freeze
h) oddly I couldn't edit documents in WORD that I copied into, so I could highlight and color code.
i) I tried to back up my Outlook emails - system could not find the .pst folder!
I took it in for a 1 year service check - what should have been guaranteed 5 business days turned into 9 days - not impressed.
They had to re-install Windows 7 and "apparently kept it to see if it would act up, of course a phone call would have been nice, except it didn't happen, not impressed.
NOW the cursor has some kind of dial that suddenly pops up AND TOTALLY FREEZES on the page ... no cando anything until "it" decides when the game has caused "enough" frustration. This too is intermittent. All is fine and you're working away and suddenly full tilt stop!
and it just did the NEXT thing that is driving me over the deep end ... the cursor suddenly CHANGES FONT SIZES .... ALWAYS SMALLER to TINIEST and this is where it stops - barely legible on the page and I can't find where the friggin' size thing is to change it or TURN IT OFF!
I have called the Tech twice now for the same problem and I have only had it back barely 3 weeks and I didn't even call him immediately when it started to happen!!
Today I was over the top when he told me to disable the mouse pad and see if that works ... it's a lap top .... if the mouse pad doesn't function, there's a problem.
To have these problems in the first year - it is DEFECTIVE!! and once again the voodoo Font Monster has taken over and I can barely see this script!
Frustration and fed up!
My blood pressure is boiling beyond e
Sorry you had such a bad experience, but I highly doubt all this was caused by hardware.
Did you bother doing anything to try and troubleshoot the problem? Was the CPU overheating? Did you look at the temperatures?
A number of the problems you seem to indicate, really point more towards there being a very bad virus or trojan installed on it. That laptop shouldn't slow down that much, and even my GT70 (which has been flawless) works great and its nearly the exact same laptop.
I really think the problem is not as you suggest.
Lastly, the simple fact that a single user is having a problem like this, and it's not widespread, really is indicative of it being something due to the user and not due to the design/manufacture of the laptop, unless it's a heat problem with the CPU.

MSI GT60 - Clicking sound from GPU area

Hey guys, maybe someone has an idea what's happening here.
I purchased a MSI GT60-ONC (I'm pretty sure it's that model, anyways. GTX670m running Win764) at the end of August. Been running great, and love the machine, but within the last few weeks I've noticed a an occasional sound coming from the GPU side of the laptop. You know when you drop some sort of electronic device, and when you move it around you hear that little tiny piece inside moving around you know you shouldn't? That's frankly the best way to explain the sound....only I've never dropped, smashed, smacked, or done anything of the sort with it.
Right when I first started hearing it, I instantly assumed it was something to do with the GPU fan (And it could still be), but the sound even tends to happen occasionally when the fan is in a low power state. It's been happening more frequently now, but I've yet to notice any sort of negative impact on my machine otherwise...
Just not sure if I should be inquiring with tech support or what....:S
**EDIT**
Side note, maybe related, maybe not. Recently I noticed my Turbo button wasn't working (The service is running though), just tried uninstalling/reinstalling and it still doesn't work...maybe something do to with the clicking sound? haha

Getting the same thing - a tiny click/blip sound. I actually hear it when the Mac starts up. It tends to make the noise just before an alert sound, but it appears to be intermittent - the MacBook is about a month old.
I'll keep an eye/ear out for it for now.

MSi GT60 0NE Which HDD bay that supports port SATAIII?

Hi,
I'm going to upgrade my notebook MSi GT60 0NE with OCZ Vertex 4 (256GB) will it be compatible with my notebook?
And which one is the HDD bay with the SataIII / Sata3 ?
Is it the one with a purple circle or the yellow one?

Quote from: Hearny on 15-May-13, 08:42:03
Hey Jim,
From what I have read/heard from MSI reps in Aus, the model (same as which I am importing) will not come with the RAID0 adapter, it is capable but the bridge will need to be bought separately. It should have one SATAII port which the 750GB RPM HDD will be mounted and nothing in the SATAIII bay. Making it quick and easy to drop in a single SSD or purchase the RAID bridge and some mSATA SSD's. I still havent decided if I will go single or RAID yet :P
Svet and Darkhawk are a wealth of information in these forums, so if I'm wrong they will be happy to assist with any more questions
Hearny
CORRECTION: "It should have one SATAII port which the 750GB RPM HDD will be mounted and nothing in the SATAIII bay." This information is not from MSI reps this is from a local MSI retailer, where the tech said he only had to fit the RAID0 adapter, no mention of moving 750GB RPM HDD to the secondary bay.
As far as I'm aware, this information is true. This is similar to how my laptop came configured, except I had the model with the RAID adapter and a single SSD installed.
The only thing I'm not 100% sure of is if they include the second (SATA III port) board. I would ASSUME they do, but I do not know this for sure that they do as I haven't bought one without the RAID adapter.
From a personal standpoint, I really enjoy the raid adapter. It's a great feature, and really provides tremendous performance in a very small package. I took the 128 GB SSD that came with my laptop out, bought a mSATA to SATA adapter and gave it to a friend so he could use it in his desktop. I then put 2 x Mushkin Atlas Deluxe 240 GB drives in my laptop, and it performs exceptionally well with 0 problems.
Just my thoughts.....

The gift box comes with Gaming headset, Gaming mouse, Gaming pad and Top Player Top Choice stamp tool. SteelSeries is really great and famous on gaming gear devices; MSI is also great on gaming notebooks, they are too professional to co-work with SteelSeries!
The SteelSeries KINZU gaming mice, 3200dpi/1600dpi, very accurate optical mouse for 3K resolution monitor.
Put the mouse on the mouse pad, with the fancy Dragon tattoo makes me feel I am ready to play games, Top Player Top Choice!
The SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming mouse, this is high quality headset and customized version for MSI gaming notebooks with fancy MSI dragon tattoo!!
Take a look on the customized artwork, the dragon tattoo on the metal cover of both set, and the Dragon gaming logo in the headset as well, that makes this headset more gaming style and looks powerful!
This Gaming headset belongs to MSI notebook accessories! The sound quality is really good, detail is clear on mid and high frequency, subwoofer is powerful and really suitable for gaming, even you wear for hours still feel comfortable and stable, overall quality makes me feel it’s over $150 value!
Very special stamp tool, I would like to put chocolate on this and stamp on the Dragon Gaming Cake!!
Let’s start to reveal the first lady, no, the real steel of GT60 Dominator Pro!!
Look at the surface of the design, Dragon logo with light from darkness on the cover, and the metallic material on top cover and palm rest side, which makes the GT60 Dominator Pro looks high quality and gaming style.
Take a look on the cover side, the Dragon Gaming Logo is really fancy and stylish with backlit. Brushed metal design makes the cover looks high quality and solid.
Sound by Dynaudio speaker system, the best famous mobile sound system on this top level GT60 Dominator Pro gaming notebook is really amazing, great on sound detail and real good acoustic of human vocal and great sound stage presents!
We put all the accessories together and boot up to check further detail on GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS version! The display quality is vivid.
Let’s take a look on the detail spec., 384GB SSD Super RAID, Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, top level GTX880M 8GB GDDR5 graphics, 32GB RAM. It’s all top level and could use for 3 more years of ultra-quality games!
When first time to use MSI gaming notebooks, you will feel amazing about the SteelSeries keyboard is really good typing feeling and solid based. It comes with multi-color backlit and move the windows key to right side, that really professional design as a gaming notebook keyboard, and the only one with real gaming design.
Take a look in the SteelSeries Engine, the exclusive gaming software only for MSI gaming notebooks. This macro keys software built in Keypress macro, Text macro, 1 key launch program and Disable key function, besides F1~F12, all other keys could be used for macros setup, and 4 layers of keyboards o setup 4 sets of macros with 4 sets of different backlit combinations, so this is really a great software for smarter and stylish gaming experience.
With CPU-Z tool to check, the upgraded Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, TDP 47W, 4 Cores 8 Threads is really great performance, CPU Boost could up to 3.5~3.7GHz.
Because of Core i7 4800MQ and GTX880M, the 3D benchmarks comes with breakthrough scores than ever on the notebook platform, 3D Mark Fire Strike: P5351 pts.
The GT60 Dominator Pro on 3D Mark 11 gains P8461 pts, it’s whole new level of the gaming notebooks, and It’s over 15% faster than GTX780M!
The 3D Mark Vantage boost up to P33115 scores, it’s 14% faster than GTX780M!
Then we check on other software of DirectX11 3D performance, the Heaven Benchmark is world’s 1st software tool to test DirectX11 effects, this time we use Heaven Benchmark version 3.0 to test.
Set the Tessellation on normal to enable DirectX11 effects and run Benchmark, the Full HD resolution could get 78.2 FPS(Frames Per Second) high score result.
Since this GT60 is 3K IPS panel edition, of course we have to try 3K resolution, you could see that the result block is smaller at 2880x1620 resolution, the result is 42.7 FPS with same setup, so we could say that 3K resolution will reduce over 45% of the FPS rate in this test, but GTX880M is too powerful, so still over 40FPS, and most games we need to get over 30 FPS to play and feel smoother, at least 20 FPS to play a game, if lower than 20 FPS, that will makes people feel lag obviously and feel dizzy easily.
Since we tried some benchmark, of course we have to try at least a famous game to the real world experience. Battlefield 4, the biggest FPS game title since end of 2013, is one of the heaviest loading games on PC platform.
First we made Battlefield 4 detail at 1920x1080 with Ultra Graphics Quality setup.
The gaming frames is 46 FPS, really smooth and around 20% faster than GTX780M.
Once we tune up the resolution to 2880x1620, the FPS drops a lot because the Ultra mode also set 4xMSAA (Anti-Aliasing), that will impact the performance a lot in higher resolution, also make graphics memory demand around 3GB~4GB, seems the 8GB GDDR5 with GTX880M is prepared for upcoming games with such as 3K or even higher resolutions!
We could see it’s about 24~28 FPS under 3K resolution with Ultra Graphics Quality, most time it will reduce over 40% FPS rate of the gaming performance.
Seems to set the Battlefield 4 with “High” graphics quality on 2880x1620 resolution is more suitable to play the game smoother in every theme.
It’s about 42 FPS, close to the 1920x1080 Ultra graphics quality. So if we want to play heavy loading games at 2880x1620 resolution, set to High graphics quality setup is a good option for 3K gaming!
After these 3D and gaming tests, let’s take a look on the temperature of the cooling system. The room temperature is 25 degree C, the temperature of fan out part is 71.2 degree C, it’s not a surprise because of GTX880M and Core i7 4800MQ, even it’s a bit lower than most gaming notebooks with this 2 combinations. The palm rest and keyboard side is 30.6 degree C, it’s really cool for users to hands on.
After the fabulous experience of great 3D performance, let’s take a look on the benefits of “Super RAID 2”, normal 2.5” HDD is about 80~100MB/s, single SSD is about 400~550MB/s, BUT, GT60 Dominator Pro boost over 1536MB/s and average is 1477MB/s, that’s 15x faster than single HDD, almost 3x faster than single SSD.
If we check on the AS SSD Benchmark tests, you could see more detail of the storage access performance is amazing, the Sequential read is 1116.76MB/s, write is 786.79MB/s. 4K-64Thrd read is 665.09MB/s, write is 461.18MB/s, it’s ultra fast!
The GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition comes with Killer Doubleshot LAN and WiFi, it provides faster response time of gaming experience, when you at different LAN/WiFi environment, Killer software will ask you to make an internet speed test, this will fine tune your LAN/WiFi for smoother and faster online experience.
MSI also got a new software tool called “Dragon Gaming Center”, this tool is also good for hardware monitor and utility launch tool. Also could show the status of Hybrid Power enable or disable.
The ultimate weapon for enthusiast gamers:
The GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS version is extremely powerful, it comes with most of the features that a great gaming notebook could have, 3K IPS panel is really great effect of vision quality, SteelSeries keyboard with SSE is amazing for gamers to play their games smarter, Sound By Dybaudio present really good detail sound quality, Killer Doubleshot is faster for online gaming, of course the GTX880M is awesome for gamer to play Full HD even 3K resolution games, the backlit of Dragon logo and keyboard is really beautiful.
Conclusion:
The overall score I will give this GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition with Super Pack is 95 out of 100, this is really great machine for any hard core gaming or power user usage, I would recommend any one to must-have this notebook if it’s affordable for you!!

Ok either you work for MSI or you changed the settings in 3dmark11. I only scored around 5K with my GT60 2PE 3k. Any idea why I'm scoring 3k below you? Laptop was plugged in btw. Also how can you enter bios settings with this laptop? I suspect that maybe the hybrid gpu thing is affecting my score, and the Pc is probably not fully utilizing the GTX 880M, maybe in bios I can disable the integrated CPU's video card??? Please let me know. Thanks.

Not getting enough performance out of Msi GT60 0NC

Hello there guys! Since I've got my laptop I have been getting the feeling that I am not getting enough power out of my toy. I dont know if its me who have too big expectations about this laptop or it really should be performing better?:( I have done hours of research regarding drivers, graphic setup and not at least overclocking which seems to raise the performance quite a bit but it easily gets unstable. I am using Msi's preinstalled drivers as it seems like they give the best performance so far. I have also installed the modded Firmware from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162629.0 which works better than the original one from Msi. But still, i hear a lot of people playing demanding games on ultra with fps around 50-60. In bf3 I get around 40-60 on High with shadow on medium and post processing off, anti-aliasing off. Turbo is on + overclock. The performance in Gw2 is even worse.
So here is my question: am I expecting too much from the laptop or can I do something to improve it and make it run like a charm? Another question would be if it is possible to change powervoltage to get a higher overclock?
I would very much like to hear from u guys how your msi gt60 is performing:)
Best regards, Mathias Kanstrup

Same here, Gt70 0NE + 680M; overclocking GPU core causes clockdowns so gains are minimal. Overclocking memory is successful upto about 2500MHz but gains are small as the memory isn't the restricting factor in preformance - or the effect is just minuscule. So mostly 2 to 8 % in benchmarks, max.
With extreme air cooling and a modified VBios, it's possible to get up to around 15%......I know this first hand.
I just don't care to do it since there's little point in pushing the hardware that hard regularly. Yes, it's great for bragging rights, but it's not useful for long term use unfortunately.
Overclocking the memory in the GTX675M might help a bit more than in the 680M. I'm not sure, I haven't really followed up on the other cards.

MSI GT60 with Vertex 4 SSD - Freezing, won't load Windows only in SATA III port

Hello,
New to the world of SSD's and trying to get my Vertex 4 to be able to operate at 6 Gb/s. I know that in my MSI GT60 that it has to be in port 1 because that is where the SATA III controller is, port 4 is just a SATA II. I was able to update the Vertex 4 to firmware version 1.5 and when it is plugged into port 4, no issues at all. It will run and take anything i throw it while running at 3 Gb/s in SATA II mode. My port 1 currently houses a 500gb Western Digital Scorpio drive.
As soon as i throw the Vertex 4 in port 1, issues arise. Sometimes i get a disk read error right after bios, sometimes it just freezes. On the latest Intel RST for my board, 11.2.0.1006 it can actually boot on occasion but 90% of the time freezes but still only reads 3 Gb/s when it does boot. It does the same thing in version 11.1.0.1006 and any older RST it just freezes or says disk read error and never boots.
I have my bios set to AHCI mode and i have tried the Vertex 4 by itself and also with the WD 500gb in the other port. When i switch back to Vertex 4 in port 4 and WD in port 1, no issues at all. Just trying to see if this is a known issue or anything else i can look at. I made sure to break the RAID 0 and it was a clean install of windows 7 to the drive.
Running on bios E16F3IMS.10M. The Vertex 4 is at its latest firmware as well. I do have one PCI device i can't identify in Windows and thinking it might be the issue but can't narrow it down. I have the Intel RST installed.
I also posted this on the OCZ forum and did their tips as well.
Thanks!
James

Hi everyone, I've still the problem with my windows 8 or my windows server 2012 installed on disk on vhd file.
I've putted on an other kingston ssd on sata2 and there is no problem! crazy

Changing keyboard colors in MSI GT60 2PC series under Linux

Hi,
I intend to buy myself a laptop and I just would love to get one of MSI GT60 series but the thing is... I'm a nerd [']... ;(
I will use Linux Debian or Gentoo on it and want to ask you about the compatibility with penguin. This multi-colored keyboard is great I love it but will I be able to customize it under Linux? What about other drivers?
Yeah I know installing linux on gaming laptop is stupid but oh well. :P
Thanks in advance

I did run Linux Mint on my GT70 for a while,and as you may know Linux handles drivers in a different way to Windows.I didn't need any drivers at all to make the system functional,or indeed any system I have installed Linux on so far.I did download proprietary drivers for the Nvidia card but that was it. As for the keyboard,and in my case the S-Bar I didn't find any drivers for them,but then again I didn't really need them.
Linux didn't stay on it for long though,as a gamer I was limited by what was available for the OS.
If you want to see what your system runs like on Linux without upsetting the current OS try a 'Live' USB boot of any flavour of Linux,but you may know that already anyway if you are into it.

@Svet
Can you unlock cpu multiplier, memory tweaks,cpu throttling,PPU Dsable etc with this latest bios from msi? And also can you update the OROM to the latest ver?
http://www.msi.com/service/download/bios-18654.html
The other options i mentioned is found on this link
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164130.0
But Wait... does the bios matter between MSI GT60-onc vs MSI GT60-one? Because when i upgraded my laptop to 680M. In bios it shows MSI GT60-ONE. SO the link above is for MSI GT60-ONE version.

MSI GT60-75X485FD questions

Hi,
I got a MSI GT60-75X485FD Notebook! It has 16F3EMS1.10U BIOS and 16F3EMS1.414 EC..
Is it possible to Flash UEFI BIOS? It was delivered with FreeDOS.. And can you mod BIOS and EC Firmware?
Thanks in advance and regards

BIOS ID is not correct one
If you mean to Win7 BIOS, nope.
depend, what kind of mods?
1) Sorry, BIOS ID is 16F3IMS1.10U!
2) I mean, I got Windows 7 BIOS and want to Switch to Windows 8 UEFI BIOS, I guess it doesn't work an may brick my Notebook..
3) Ok Forget EC for now, is it right, that modding EC Firmware is for custom fan profiles? I think I'll try RWEverything first..
So in conclusion, can you provide me a BIOS with hidden options unlocked? Thank you
Edit:
Sorry, if this is the wrong place, but I did further investigation regarding my fan problem.. In Windows (8.1) the fan is very loud (a few minutes after boot) while CPU usage is near 0! Only Thing I did, was take out the GTX 675MX so only Intel HD Graphics is used! I think it gets wrong info from GPU Fan Profile and so fan is allways at a high Level.. I tried Read Write Everything and the fan value is allways switching between 66 and 67, tried entering another value but it instantly Switches back to 66.. Is there a Special way Setting the value? I right clicked on it, "edit", and changed the value..

MSI GT60 0NE-404US all games crash after 10 minutes of play?

Hi I've just recently purchased a MSI GT60 0NE-404US with gtx680m 4g video card, i7 3630m CPU and 12g of ram. I took it home and ran a few games on it, all of them after basically 10 minutes the game will crash and something along the lines of "the graphic driver has crashed and restarted". I've tried updating my video driver to the latest and rerolled to older drivers, none of that worked. I've used hardware monitor and tried to see the GPU temperature, they seem to be running at 50-60 degrees celsius if I turn the turbo fan on. I've tried running some benchmarking software to test out the stability of the 3d graphics but the same problem occurs. it looks like it's a drivers problem but I've tried all types of drivers and none of them worked.
Does anybody have any similar issues? This is a brandnew laptop and things like this shouldn't happen.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Nichrome gives some good advice. I'd follow his steps first but...
I kinda get the feeling that your video card is not any good and it's what is causing the issues. The fact that you've tried a few different driver revisions and it's crashing doing anything stressful seems to indicate that as well.
Most likely you'll need to contact MSI to do an RMA in the end.

CONSIDER UPGRADING HARD DISK OF MSI GT60-0NC

I had bought my new MSI GT60-0NC recently in Malaysia. My com is equipped with 750GB 7200rpm hdd, probably sata maybe.
So far I am satisfied and indeed quite impressed with its performance. Who knows maybe after few years my specs will soon outdated and cant cope with my requirements for performance?
I would like to seek for some guidance for upgrading hdd to other type of hard disk drives like ssd or raid-II.
Is any kind of SSD hard drive can be installed on the laptop? Any brand recommendations for ssd or hybrid hard disk drives?
Thanks a lot.

It's really hit or miss with most SSD's for some reason.
I've seen a few people who got Samsung 840 non-PRO/PRO drives have problems, and some who had no problems.
Personally, I've got the super raid adapter and have 2 x Mushkin Atlas Deluxe mSATA 240GB drives in my laptop, and it work great.
I've had a few people with Intel 520 based drives have problems as well.
Personally, I would find what you want and try it out. If it doesn't work, you may have to return it though. Everything SHOULD work, but it's not always the case unfortunately.
