MSI GE60 2PF (Apache Pro)-609UK

Hi All
I'm new to forum so hello!
I'm looking to buy my son a mid-range gaming laptop, he doesn't need anything crazy fast and have come across the MSI GE60 2PF Apache Pro.
Only thing is, when I do a search for the laptop itself in a search engine it doesn't bring that information up about it. The specs according to the website are as follows:
Intel® Core™ i7-4810MQ Quad Core Processor
15.6" Full HD Screen
Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit
16GB DDR3 RAM
128GB SSD + 1000GB 7200 RPM HDD
DVD Rewriter
Dedicated GTX 860M 2GB Graphics
USB3 | HDMI | Bluetooth
2 Year MSI Warranty
Does anybody know any more about this laptop?
Thanks

Yeah, that's the one. Was looking for more "hands on" experience though.
The real issue I have is that this laptop is about £200 cheaper than the GE60 2PE laptop. I can't see any differences with the two other than the PF has the 4810 and the PE has the 4710 processor. Just seems a tad weird that the PF is a lot cheaper... Just wondering if I'm missing something glaringly obvious?

Differences between GE60 2PE and GE60 2PF.

Where is the differences between GE60 2PE and GE60 2PF?
I saw nothing in tech specs, but why it has different indexes?

Agree with above:

MSi GP60 2PF

I bought this GP60 2PF leopard pro from germany (I live in UK) and I can't seem to find any manual for it on the MSi website. Will it be fine if I used the GP60 2PE's manual to update the drivers/BIOS?

You mean GE60 2PF?

Month Owned MSI GE60 Apache Pro Fan Issues

Hi everyone,
I have had my MSI GE60 Apachce Pro 15" laptop for a little over a month now.
For the first month, I could barely hear the fans when leaving the laptop idle or using non-power hungry applications that do not involve gaming, such as browsing the web or watching videos. Now, however, the fan seems to always be running at a medium intensity, even when idle. As soon as I boot up the laptop, the fan is much more noisy than it used to be and stays that way.
The program HWinfo64 shows my CPU temperature at usually 41 degrees Celsius. Moreover, turning on the Cooler Blaster feature does not decrease the advertised 5-10% temperatures either. In fact, it increases the heat to around 42-43 degrees Celsius.
My desk is usually completely dust free, so I do not think dust is the issue here. I will have to open up the back to be completely sure, but I do not want to void my warranty for something as silly as cleaning it out (There is a void sticker right above one of the necessary screws to remove the back casing. I will contact MSI to inquire about this because I read that MSI will allow owners to remove this sticker in certain locations without voiding the warranty).
Could there be any other reason besides dust that could make my fans this noisy? Does anyone have suggestions on improving it? Thank you.

Try to remove battery and hold power button for 5 sec.
I tried that a few times, but it did not work. The fan noise is becoming unbearable tbh. Considering selling it now :/

MSI GE60 2PL Cooling Question

Hi there,
I just bought a MSI GE60 Apache-629 Laptop. I Never owned a MSI Laptop but I am Very Satisfied so Far. Even though it doesn't have the NVidia GTX 860m , like the Apache Pro, I can Still Run Battlefield 4 on Medium Spec in 1920x1080.
My Question is should I Press the Fan Button to Speed Up the Fan when Playing Battlefield 4 ?
It seemed like my Laptop was getting VERY HOT !
Is this Normal ?

Hello ericpatterson89,
If you don't mind the fan noise and the power consumption while you're playing BF4, just speed it up. The temperatures of the CPU & GPU are always hot when playing these types of 3D FPS games, no matter which model. Some models are just bigger and thicker so that you don't feel so much heat on the surface. But actually they are all very hot in those cores.
So the best and accurate way is to run "Dragon Gaming Center" to monitor the temperatures of the CPU & GPU. Its icon can be found on the system tray (right-bottom of the screen). Just double-click it to open its window and it will show you the temperatures of both CPU & GPU.
There's an EC firmware inside the laptop which will automatically increase/decrease the RPM of the fan or boost up/throttle down the GPU power consumption according to the heat generated. So if you always turn the fan in full speed during the game play, according to the principle of the NVIDIA GPU, it will run as fast as possible if needed until it's throttled by EC firmware. In my past experience, setting the fan in full-speed during the game play will get more time running fast and smooth than setting it automatic. That's why I am saying that it depends on the user's tolerance to the fan noise...

FPS / Stuttering Issues (Overheat , Speedstep Issues ? ) MSI GE60 2PE APACHE PRO

Good evening Fellow Gamers and Adepts.
I come to you tonight with a serious doubt , which has rattled me for a while , and after some intense troubleshooting i have came up blank.
Here's the deal , as stated , i have a MSI GE60 2PE apache Pro
Now , playing cs go has been the bane of my existence, i am aware there are heating issues with this laptop , but those have been fixed by a Thermal repaste, a cooling pad and the backplate removed.
Now i have no more throttling of CPU , and GPU appears to handle fine aswell; the thing is i keep having MASSIVE lag spikes in CS:GO , and apparently they are being cause by CPU issues.
Image for clarification .
(Standart situation , notice the relative low fps for a old game)
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80
After a few seconds the following occurs
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#1
Notice the fps drop and the CPU frequency percent alert in game
another shot of this in console so you can see the several occurrences
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#2
now keep in mind that these are the lowest game settings, in Fullscreen windowed mode , if i even CONSIDER putting it on standart fullscreen i get unplayable jitterness and fps that range from 10 to 80 , all in a second.
Now , as i have stated i have fooled around and disabled speedstep in the bios , meaning that the cpu is always at 100%, seeing i have removed the backplate , throttling is not an issue as IXT (Intel extreme tuning) can attest.
note aswell the "active core count" spikes to 4/3 in the exact moments of the stutters, meaning that both problems should , in theory , be connected .
Image for reference:

Details of IXT
gyazo.com/1f03a344b9ac2642b1a885ee0a8ea078
can ANYONE give me an ideia of whats going on ? i rather enjoy playing with games with friends , but this is driving me up the wall..
Lastest NVIDIA / Laptop drivers installed ; Bios Updated and EC firmware aswell.
Thank you for your time guys x)

MSI GE60 Apache Pro - GPU issues....

Hello All,
So, I just purchased a MSI GE60 Apache Pro and guess what, the GPU is faulty. I'm seeing artifacts (horizontal black lines) whenever I use the PC.
I've already done the usual stuff, updated the drivers and so on.. Already contacted the MSI for RMA however, the reply is awfuly slow and they told me that the process will take at least 3 weeks. Great....
Any useful tips that may help to solve this or should just wait for this slow RMA process? :(
Thanks.

Can't see the black lines you talk about.
Maybe you can show a desktop picture and point in out?
This was the best way to show the problem. Please, check carefully at the following secs: 17s and 51s. There is a flickering following with the horizontal black lines. I just added some notes to the video to help.

MSI GE60 2OC-014NE - Install Windows 7 or 8 on new hard drive

Hi forum
So I just bought the new MSI GE60. I installed my hybrid harddrive in it easily. Now I wanted to install a fresh windows 7 on it. Is it possible?
And if not, how do I install a fresh windows 8 on it, without spending extra money on the OS? Windows 8 came with the laptop, but without a disk.
And what is your opinion? Should I use windows 8 or 7 on it? (I really hate the looks and feel of windows 8.. It's way more complicated and non-user-friendly than 7..)
I hope you can help me out
Best regards
Aleksander

The least problems would be installing Win8 a it came with it (your key is embedded in the bios by the way) but I'd also prefer Win7. According to MSI downgrading to 7 should work with the EC of the Win8 version. As drivers and utilities are available for this model and Win7 it should work: http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE60-2OC.html#download
Be sure to install DotNetFX40Client and SCM as that is needed to make the machine work properly.

Need help regarding CPU upgrade of an MSI GE60

Hi! I'm new to the forums and I was wondering if you guys could help me out,
So I'm interested in buying an MSI GE60 0NC-i3185+ 3rd generation Intel® Core i3 - 3110M 2.40 GHZ, here in our country, the Philippines, I was wondering if I can upgrade it's cpu to an i7?
Thank You for your help and sorry for my bad English.

I'm not quite sure why you would want to upgrade it to an i7 after you buy it? Wouldn't it make more sense to get the one that already has it in it? Simply because you'll be getting more of a discount on the CPU since aftermarket prices tend to be rather ridiculous for mobile CPU's.......
Is it possible? I can't say 100%. If it's using the same socket (37.5mm x 37.5mm (rPGA988B)) then yes, it's most likely upgradeable, but again, I don't have a GE60 so I can't say it will be.

How to re-install windows 8 on my ssd msi ge60

I bought this msi ge60 a few months ago. I suffered windows update problems because of the nvidia card error and as a result i wanted to install a fresh copy of windows. Now originally the windows 8 is already installed on my ssd. I just wanted install on it again. I have had made the recovery disk however while recovering though disk one an error arises and says the installation was unsuccessful. When i go to my desktop and open my computer i see that the recovery infact tried to install windows on the HDD instead of the ssd drive.
I used the second recovery option which avoids formatting all the drives and an error arisies which says "1. Make sure the disk partition layout is factory default setting. 2. Make sure the current OS HDD is in the master HDD place."
What to do now? recovery disks wont work and neither will the f3 function :(
EDIT: I cant remove my hdd for fresh installation as it will void the warranty while i remove the cover

You can use a usb thumb drive or an external optical drive. IMO it is easier to use an external usb optical drive, no creating images, making the thumb drive bootable, or copying ISOs onto the thumb drive. External optical drives are cheap.

MSI GE60 freezes after RMA.

I have a MSI GE60 with i5-3210M and Geforce GT 650M, born with Windows 7, and I have had problems with it freezing, and requiring a manual restart, alomst since day 1.
The problem can occur almost anytime while using the Nvidia card both in games and while using 3D modelling software etc. I mainly encounter it in games though, and it seems to most often occur during cutscenes, loading screens and especially if I tab out of the game while playing. The screen image will simply freeze and the audio disappears. Most often the hard drive LED turns completely off, and the only way forward is to turn it off with the power button and reboot.
I figured it would be the GPU and applied for an RMA, which went through. The hard drive had also become quite slow, and the fan was noisier, which might be due to the countless hard resets. I just got it back today, and I was informed that they had replaced the hard drive, the fan, and the motherboard(which I strongly assume includes CPU/GPU as well). It is much quieter and the hard drive gets better benchmarks too. However after having the laptop back for only a few hours i tested it with playing ArmA. I flew around in a chopper in the map editor for 3 minutes, and then i tabbed out of the game and back again, which led to the laptop freezing the same way as before the RMA.
I then figured that it could be a software problem, even though I have formatted quite a few times with the recovery partition. So I did a clean install and upgraded to Windows 8 in the progress, and lo and behold.. I started up ArmA again with the same outcome as last time.
So now I am left with 2 possible scenarios for what the error might be. It could either be the RAM, which is the only vital component that was not changed during the repair, although I have run 2 cycles of Memtest without any errors. Or it might simply be the type of motherboard in this laptop that is not up to the task of running computer games.
I would like to hear from other people who owns a GE60 with the same configuration, and whether they have had similar problems, or if I am just very unlucky. Because right now I am clueless as to what the problem is.

Maybe it might be the RAM anyways. I did a GPU stress test with with Furmark, where the temperature of the GPU seemed to be stable around 65-70 degrees. After ending the test though, the laptop froze almost immediately. An hour later i did a benchmark test in Hitman: Absolution and yet again the laptop froze right after ending the test.
After googling it, I stumbled across a few posts with the same issue being presented:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/267239-29-strange-computer-problem
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1796554/computer-crashes-close-game.html
One specifically mentions a RAM issue: "Sounds like RAM issue (after a game is closed the ram needs to be cleaned up, and if there is a problem there it might crash)."
I tried running memtest86 4.3.7 for 4 cycles without getting any errors, but I do suspect the RAM tbh. It seems too freaky that a new motherboard/GPU would generate the exact same problem as the one it replaced imo.

MSI GE60 2OC Windows 7 x64 USB 3.0 eXtensible Host

Hi,
I have another problem with my MSI GE60.
I have installed Windows 7 x64, updated everything and installed driver.
At last I installed the USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller driver from the msi homepage. But now my usb ports aren't working anymore!
I tried different driver and deleted them in safe mode from windows.
Help? ...
Thanks in advance

I just posted a similar issue on the same machine, except my USB ports will only work under certain circumstances. It's very odd and it sounds like a driver issue... Did you ever get it sorted out?
