I do not have Proof but i was at the MSI GE40 launch and tested out bio infinite and crysis 3 on the table
High end games will run seriously hot around 82-90 degree C but its quite a surprise you can run high settings on crysis 3

MSI GE40 hot temps

When playing games on this laptop I could easily reach 95+ degrees when using both gpu and gpu at highest settings can such a laptop withstand such temperatures for lets say for example over 5 years? If its not meant to go so high in temps what could be done to make it run cooler? at the moment I have already undervolted the cpu to about -80ms using intel xtu change the paste to icd7 but it still will run in the 90s when play intensive games
Thanks

I think it's auto overclock of CPU called CPU Boost, that will makes the CPU with higher frequency but also temp., this is not a problem since it's still normal working temperature, as long as it runs stable and not hang on screen. I think it works for 2~3 years without problem.

MSI GT70 20C WIN 8.1 UPGRADE ISSUES!!!!

Hello everyone A bit of a quagmire here. I have a new MSI GT70 20C. It is an awesome gaming machine to say the least. I decided to choose the best of two evils and decided to upgrade to WIN 8.1.....
Here is the issue:
1:Uninstalled the old Killer E2200 LAN/WLAN/BT 4.0 Drivers.
2:Installed the new Drivers provided by MSI and all work except LAN.
3:Uninstalled everything and tried again but this time noticed that when device manager is open and installing the driver pack, the device manager refreshed about 10 times or so and it is all fine until after the program says to reboot then the LAN is not working again. I proceeded to uninstall and re-install this time to cancel the install as I realized that there is something in the driver pack that is conflicting with windows during the install process. I restarted the system and now it all works.
This is not just a request for assistance from support but also a really strange assist. Please respond if anyone encounters the same situation.

I've got the newer/newest gt70 dominator pro, which came with windows 8.1 installed.
So I don't have the same issue as you.
But with killer and drivers for it, ive had nothing but problems.
As of right now, I deleted the killer suite and only have drivers installed. The LAN driver in my device manager shows the yellow exclamation mark, but it works. So that's where I am and that's where im choosing to stay.
I will end up, and soon, getting an intel wireless card, but not sure if you can replace the lan as I think that might be part of the board.

it depends, there are different options and configurations that's available.
you have to ask your local reseller for exact specifications of the products that are available for your region

Wow, that solved this problem. I had 5 GB of systemd logs. I deleted them (after making a backup on another disk), I limited the journal size to only 50MB, and now NetworkManager only lasts 4 seconds to start, and GDM appears 10 seconds earlier. Thanks a lot

MSI GE40 2OC - Webcam problem

Hello.
I have recently bought a MSI GE40 2OC laptop and i must say its absolutely beautiful light and fast as lightning.I will be moving to UK now because im starting University and i wanted to make sure Skype was properly working.On that process it detected that i DIDNT have a webcam plugged into my system.Its not in the device manager tab either so i am guessing the webcam is internally disconnected.I am very frustrated and hoping that someone can give me a solution.
Thanks in advance

I just got this model too, and love it. Good point though, I haven't tried the webcam. I currently don't have software like Skype that utalizes it, but I have a feeling it's also missing on my computer. Normally the webcam is listed under my computer (on mine it's not), and also it shoudl be listed under device manager (also on mine it's not).
I also don't see the drivers listed on the drivers page: [not allowed to post external links] makes me wonder if the drivers are even available for it.

Msi ge40 internal layout !!

Alright this is it
The reason why MSI GE40 uses a 4702MQ Low voltage CPU is because of the cooling , it uses thin cheap copper heatsink and a heatspreader fan which is good enough for the cpu and gpu
If you upgrade the CPU to a 45w and higher you will experience high hot grill temperature
It seems that the ODD is there with the mSATA x 2 but the problem is if you buy the ODD model and you want to install mSATA SSDs will be a pain because the cover would not be block or something since the ODD is remove with the ODD case cover

There is a new incarnation of the MSI GE 40 laptop, with new CPUs (mine is 4712M), GPU (mine: 850M w/2GB DDR5), drive configuration (I bought with 1TB Hitachi 7200 RPM) and memory (mine came with 1*8GB DDR3 1600).

You need to buy the 2 SSD RAID version in the begining, not able to upgrade by users.
Right, if you do not buy such a thing, you do not get the nifty SATA-to-2*mSATA adapter by MSI.
Quote from: BlueAlexFPS;45298
And if you buy the 2 SSD RAID as Super RAID version, you will not have ODD with it. Because GE40 need to use the ODD space to install 2 mSATA SSDs to replace the plat.
Kind of.. but no. The new version does not have the ODD even as an option, so you get nothing there (unless you find something aftermarket, but why would you buy such a laptop in the first place if you need an ODD).
Fortunatelly the laptop comes with ODD bay filled with a 2.5" SATA caddy, which can be used for another drive.
I thought the SATA-to-mSATA adapter was a part of the laptop, so I bought mSATA drive. Oh, poor me, how little I knew. Now I ordered a SATA to mSATA 9.5mm high adapter (roughly $30 where I live), so I could install the mSATA drive. The ODD bay can be open ONLY after you open the bottom cover, which voids warranty.
Same goes for HDD/SSD and memory upgrade. MSI, seriously?
The issue here is that if you want an SSD you like (not some random 120GB or so device the manufacturer gets in for you), you have to pay for both, and have the reseller swap them for you (so the warranty...). My etailer insisted on replacing the HDD with an SSD, and using the HDD as external drive. , no.

MSI r7970 lighting temps

Hello,
Just bought the MSI R7970 lightning. I have not overclocked it or any thing. I ran "Medal Of Honor Warfighter" on ultra and my temps were getting like 90 degrees. I setup a custom fan curve with afterburner. Is this normal for this card?
Thanks for the help.

ok, How would I check the bio to see if the bio is reading wrong?
You can't check if hardware readouts are correct. Besides there aren't any reaout problems known for that model. Test with MSI Afterburner and Kombustor (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) if temps would exceed 90°C and GPU thottles or shutdown.
Also with MSI Afterburner and it's OSD you can check if black screens or other ingame issues are related to overheating in that situation.

MSI Hybrid Power Utility - MSI GT70 20C

MSI GT70 20C-059US
When I click on the Hybrid Power desktop icon nothing happens. I no longer get the interface to appear like it does before updating everything. I have installed the newer firmware and bios. Everything appears to be stable at this time but I cannot get the utility to run even after reinstalling it.
If I right click on it, I get options to run it with graphics cards but when I do it tells me to open nVidia control panel.
Is there some thing that could effect it from working that I inadvertently changed?
Thank you for your time.

I've run into this same problem on my GT70 20D just two days ago. I tried reinstalling it as well but nothing seems to be working. Anybody have any ideas?

MSI GT60 20C - All games stalling

Hi Everyone,
I bought my MSI GT60 20C in about sept. I only used it for work until now. I got StarCraft 2 HotS for Christmas, and started playing it.
My framerate is okay, but the laptop stalls like mad. Turning down the graphics settings don't help. Tried DOTA and Tactical Intervention. I get good FPS (200 FPS in TI), but I get stalls making the games unplayable.
Any suggestions?
I noticed there are windows 8.1 update instructions. MSI suggests to uninstall intel and nvidia drivers first. I didn't see these before, and am already running windows 8.1. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the 2 drivers and that did not help. Is it "too late?" Should I uninstall and re-install windows 8.1?
At this point, I can't even really use this machine to game.
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Can you please use CoreTemp and MSI Afterburner to check the temperatures of the CPU and GPU when you're playing the games and they stall?
It might also be worthwhile to use another program to log the speed of the CPU. MSI Afterburner can log the GPU.
I get the feeling you've got 1 of 2 possible problems.
Either:
1. CPU/GPU are getting too hot and throttling
2. CPU is downclocking for whatever reason, causing your frame rates to drop.
I'm thinking it's most likely #2. In which case I believe we'd just have to disable the turbo boost of the CPU and that tends to fix the issue.

MSI GT70 20C WIN 8.1 - Slowness - Suicidal

Ever since I've upgraded to Window 8.1 from Window 8 my GT70 20C is never the same. I bought this laptop for gaming but since my window 8.1 update I've been having the following problems:
- Slow start up (please wait.... for 10+ Min)
- Slow turn off time. Screen will be off but you can hear the fan and see the processing light flashing
- If computer is idle for 10 min, it automatically turns into sleep mode and it takes about 20 min or so to log back in
- While playing Left 4 Dead 2 - my mouse skips and have no control for for brief 1 second every other 20 seconds or so
- Adobe photoshop - Start up used to be fast less than 7 second to start on the first time but takes longer now
I've download the latest video card driver and there is no help. I've uninstall Norton Anti-Virus and there is no help. I've deleted my first account and created a new one that didn't help. I've changed microsoft login to local login still didn't help. The most painful part is turning on and off the computer and when idle more than 10min the computer goes to sleep by itself and it wakes up when it wants to... I had to hold the power bottom down to do a force start every time.
I've read many different blogs and I can't find a way to go back to Window 8. I never receive a window 8 disk which I thought it should come with the purchase and I didn't even have a product serial key on the bottom of my computer so I can reformat everything back to Window 8.
I am seriously thinking about to sell this laptop and just build a desktop and install window 7.
Please HELP!

MSI didn't give me a copy of Window 8 - what do I do?
I upgraded from XP to Window 8.1 - Do you like Window 7 better? I never used 7 before but I heard it's the closest thing to XP. any1?
What do you download with that 100MB+ speed? hahahah
There should be an option to rollback to w8.
Windows 8 has proved to deliver more gaming performance than w7 on the same hardware. If you use this laptop for gaming, then don't go to w7. Especially if you are playing Bf4 or any game that gets use of dx11.1

MSI GE40 adding HD and switching from AHCI IDE causes windows 8 to fail

Hello,
I removed my DVD from my ge40 laptop and added a caddy with a 1tb serial ata III hd 7200 rpm.
Not happy, I went in the bios and changed the sata from AHCI to IDE.
This caused windows to not being able to boot twice, and from that point it always go into automatic repair and then it fails (Automatic repair couldn't repair your pc).
I, of course, switched back to AHCI but it seems that it's too late.
I tried everything I could, from dos commands line actions, to refresh/restore, to safe mode, nothing works and it always go into automatic repair, failing.
F3 key does not do anything on boot.
I don't have windows repair dvd since it's a oem version.
What can I do?

Quote from: riccardoit on 07-December-13, 10:35:01
Yes I did but no luck :(
I'll be honest, I haven't dealt with this issue.
The best thing *I* can suggest, is to contact MSI and RMA it to get them to reinstall the default software. Then the first thing I would do is make the backup/restore DVD's.
