I love my GX70 3BE. Initially came with 750gb hdd,and 8gb of ram.First thing i did was add a 120gb SSD,1TB 7200rpm hdd,and 16gb of Corsair 1600 vengence ram.Just recently cloned SSD to the Crucial MX100 500gb SSD.Also got it hooked up to a Dell U2813HM 2560X1440 monitor ,and  Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red keyboard.Mouse is a MSI Interceptor DS100 gaming mouse.Running the Witcher 2 on Ultra Settings @2560X1440 with some tweeks to keep me @ 25 to 35 fps.That is saying a lot since Witcher 2 loves to chew on high end rigs.

    This thread is old hat! It's been discussed and claified over and over again. 'All' the MSI cards have a warranty, regardless if they are factory custom modified or not! No 'cheating' involved. Other VGA builders got mad and crying foul because MSI was beating them out in performance easily.

  • MOVED: msi gtx 680 lightning problems

    This topic has been moved to BETA & MOD BIOS Section.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161594.0

    There was a purpose of putting a locked voltage, even now on lightning. I have the old bios on my lightning and works unlocked 300% and voltage too. But you risk a degradation in time if you run the card 24/7 in games with 1.2+ voltage just for some couple mhz more. If you are oc-ing the card just for gaming it's useless, 680 it's powerful by it's nature, and 100-200mhz more in gaming = 0 performance.
    And not all lightnings are like "in the msi picture advertising, that you buy a lightning for extreme OC" mine can't pass 1250Mhz on Heaven even on 1.25V on LN2 bios. So lightning in my opinion is still a luck, not a 100% card, chip and pcb that guarantees you a success overclock, compared with another product, or reference card.

    its better to connect all the power connectors anyway to avoid problems later on in time if he upgrades! also if the PSU you have isn't capable of supplying that big an ammount of power to the board the optional header will fill in the missing shortage and your less ikely to have noposts as the graphics cards power from the slot is choked so its more just safety!
    most experianced builders will say even if its not needed connect it anyway to avid problems with your build....
    let me put it like this its better to have it connected and its doing nothing then to try and boot a machine and it needing it but its not connected and as a result the machine doesn't post!
    the PCI power connector on the board will be active only if needed and connecting it won't cause any problems but work as a boost if needed!

  • MOVED: MSI K8T Neo2 upgrade

    This topic has been moved to AMD64 VIA/AMD/ATI based board.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=98598.0

    Hi again - and thanks for your help .... the memory I have is GEIL PC3200 DDR400 (they have blue heatsinks)and I had 2 x 256 and 2x512 ... the reason for this was when I originally built this system I bought 2 x 256 (unmatched but the same - they didn't sell themn matched then - very little difference in the serial nos ....4000194 and 4000180) .. then I upgraded the memory by getting 2 x 512 (couldn't afford 2x1Gig) ... and these are matched SN5014693 -came as a pack of two in a DULA CHANNEL MEMORY box.
    I very quickly discovered that you couldn't just put the 2x512 in 1 and 2 and 2x256 in 3 and 4 .... so I had them as 2 x 512 in 1 and 3 and the 2x256s in 2 and 4 and they ran at 166 in dual channel mode.... no probs.... the BIOS automatically set the timings ... they ran at 2.5-6-3-3 when I had 2 sticks of 2x256 ... and I guess the 2x512s would as well, but with all 4 it winds the bus down to 166 and alters the timigs to 3 -?-?-? .. all I can remember is that it was 3 for RAS/CAS (?) ... and if you woork it out 3 cycles at 166 is faster than 2.5 at 200 ...
    Anyway ... does that help - do you think I need to boost the memory voltage a bit from 2.5v?
    Stability to me is related to whether or not games will play - in 2D it was fine - it was with the 3D of gaming with the new 7800GS I bought as the other part of the upgrade - I thought the combination would make a half-decent games machine for a while to come - benchmarks wouldn't run and half-life 2 without locking up and MOHPA locked up ...but TRL, FEAR, Quake 4 all run fine.
    Thanks again

    MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM NOT OVERCLOCK FRIENDLY AS PROMISED

    Quote from: ALFA on 25-April-05, 10:09:30
    This mobo is good but its false advertisment to call it overclock friendly.
    People are having problems getting ther FSB over 220 and this is a overclocking mobo.
    MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM (really disappointed over the mobo)
    POINT OF VIEW GEFORCE 6800ULTRA @450/1300  (Really good)
    Crusial ballistiX PC4000 (Great memory)
    Aspire 520watt 35amp (strong as hell)
    Dear Friend don't get angry too quickly. I also have a socket 939 Athlon 3000+ Winchester. In start MSI K8N SLI Platinum was not allowing me to OC more than 220FSB in BIOS. Although in Windows I can OC it to 2.16 GHZ with NVidia NTune. It's 240FSB. You are facing the same problem that I was facing. Its 219MHZ Bug for Winchester CPUs.
    All you need to do is when you are OC'ing more than 219 MHZ, just set you HT multiplier to 1x and you can go upto 260MHZ FSB via BIOS. When you get to the desktop of windows use any software to set the multiplier back to 4x or 5x (depends on how much you OC). Nvidia Ntune is a good software for this purpose. Plz keep in mind that Winchester cores are not too much overclocking friendly CPUs. They won't go beyond 2.4 GHZ and instability is bound to happen after 2.3 GHZ.

  • MOVED: MSI EX610 - Cannot install Windows 7 64bit

    This topic has been moved to MSI Notebook.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=141925.0

    If the IT guys dont have an idea why this happens, I guess this will not be easy to resolve.
    Fact is that Tecra M11 was preinstalled with Win7 32BIT PROFESSIONAL system.
    The CPU Intel Core i5-430M processor which is built in the notebook supports 64bit too. Therefore it should not be a problem to install, run and use the 64bit version.
    I recommend you trying this:
    Go to BIOS, set it to default (F9), additionally change to AHCI mode.
    Save the changes.
    No search on Intel page for Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Intel RST) driver.
    Add this driver during the Win 7 installation setup (F6)
    But if this would not be possible, I guess there is something wrong with your Win 7 disk
    As last option could be the installation on Win 7 using USB port.
    You would need to create an bootable USB flash memory stick containing Win 7.

    MSI Live Update not working Windows XP Professional 64bit Edition!!!

    Thank you so much. I just want to say I really appreciate when people do take the time to post me in return. So I really mean it, Thank You.
    A quick question. You see, I have been upgrading my computer. I installed a Belkin USB USB Card (high speed 2.0) cause I needed more USB ports. Then I checked for compatable RAM and upgraded my RAM from 512MB to 2Gigs. Everything alright.
    Now, I have checked for processors that are compatable with my board K9VGM-V (MS-7253). And MSI's chart says mine is compatable with the AMD Athlon 2x 6000 (3.0Ghz) *IF* I use the 89 watt and not the 125 watt. Here is a good URL for the processor details I found:
    http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%206000+%20-%20ADA6000IAA6CZ%20(ADA6000CZBOX).html
    Now do you have any tips and I will probably have to flash to BIOS for sure after this upgrade won't I?

  • MOVED: MSI Wind U115 screen resolution problems

    This topic has been moved to MSI Notebook.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=131560.0

    The speakers are built into the unit so I do not have a seperate speaker volume control. This is the Wind Top all in one unit.
    The only way to control the volume is by using the external volume buttons. Some programs do not have a internal volume control so our clients are going to need to use those external buttons. This is a major setback considering we are a reseller and would be selling hundreds of units.
    I don't think I have the SCM software installed.
    Any other suggestions?
    Why would MSI create a driver that when you adjust the volume it takes over the screen and causes programs to minimize? Seems a little crazy.

    is there no way to make it appear as GT 540M instead of intel HD family in the system/dxdiag/etc... ?
    For what purpose though? You can select in the nVidia control panel what software you want the GT 540M used for. The whole point of the technology is to reduce power consumption, so it only switches to the dedicated card when absolutely necessary. Have a look in the global settings (in the nVidia control panel) and see if it will use the GT 540M as the primary device. I don't have a notebook with switchable graphics so don't know what settings there are exactly.

    MSI live update not supported on Win XP 64

    Yes you are right.  The system drive will always be Drive C, but I am not sure if D will be my storage drive or the other sytem drive.  I could always try and find out but just havn't.
    In the past, I had lots of virtual drives (partitions), and HDD's (as many as 10 total IDE devices).  But when the larger drives became more affordable, I prefer running with just 2, the system and storage for the sake of simplicity.  Since I do beta testing, I have having to reformat and reinstall a lot, so this system has worked great for me.
