MSI GE60 OND Fan Issue

Hi, I've just purchased this laptop second hand from a friend and everything is working fine except the fan, I've seen other users on here with the same problem but I couldn't find a solution that made sense to me!!! The fan powers on ok but then starts to go up to full power then back down to almost silent, I've managed somehow, following a step by step guide, to update the bios but I cannot seem to update the EC which sounds like it might fix the problem, every time I download the file from the msi support page it says that its not compatible with 64bit versions of Windows 8?? Has anyone else managed to overcome this problem and have a step by step guide on what they did? Thanks in advance for any help as this is now becoming very annoying.

Which version are you trying to update and how you do the update?
Try to update the EC under DOS mode and don't forget to do the EC reset afterwards.

MSI GE60 0ND - Fan Issue - Cooler Boost Button

Hello,
I have a problem with my MSI GE60 0ND. The fan / cooler boost button above the keyboard is always glowing and sometimes very light flickering. The fan spins at a normal and quiet level.
When I press the button the fan starts spinning up and stays at the high level. The ligt of the button keeps glowing, but the flickering stops completly. When I press it again the fan goes back to a normal level, but the light keeps glowing.
I recently updates the EC-Version, because I had an issue with my fan which was really annoying. Before the EC update my fan kept spinning up and down every 10-20 seconds.
The temperatures ware always at a normal level. I own my MSI GE60 about one year. The spinning fan issue started just one month ago, but was fixed trough the update.
Some detailed information about my notebook:
MSI GE60 0ND
Bios: E16GAIMS.10F (Release version)
EC-Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
I'm using Windows 7 x64 and tried also Windows 8.1 x64. Both have the same fan button issue.
Installing / Uninstalling MSI SCM utility didnt make any difference.
Regards
Thomas

fan is constantly spinning with the same, average speed. It goes faster when on stress but continue to spin when system is idle
Bios Version: E16GAIMS.10F
EC Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
Sorry to spoil that, but the fan was indeed always spinning before, too. But very quietly at a low rate! You could observe rotational speed in RWeverything and it did NEVER stop with that notebook (GE60) and the EC-version 14.04
If you want to go back, check out my post here. There are the old firmware files included as well. But read the readme.txt thoroughly first!

MSI GE60-2OE Fan Issue

Hello
So I've had mine MSI GE60 for little over a year now and recently the fan has been making 'rattling' and 'grinding' noises. I went onto the forums and search for similar topics and people said there are a few possibilities.
1) Fan is not balanced
2) Dust build-up
3) Fan bearing being used up
Many people said to contact MSI and ask for a replacement fan if the laptop is on warranty (Mine still is, Until Feb 2016)
However here is the problem. When I purchased the laptop I registered it straight away. Now when I go onto the MSI Register Product page it is not there. I am being asked for the serial number of the Laptop but I don't have the box. I have the proof of purchase and all the warranty documentation but dont know where to look for the Serial Number of the Laptop. It is not on the back Sticker. All it says is "GE60 2OE I77400MQ / 16GB / 1000GB / GTX765M FHD"
Is there any other way to get the serial number of the laptop? Device Manager? BIOS? (I'm running Win 8.1)

try removing the battery - my GE60 has a sticker, with the serial number on the battery slot which will reveal once you remove it. good luck on your RMA :D

Msi ge60 OND turbo issue

integrated GPU will handle this task fine

I have already checked the "use gpu accelerated decoding"
integrated GPU also have such media acceleration, so that's fine.

[GE60 OND] Strange issue with discrete graphics

Specs:
MSI GE60 OND
CPU: Intel i7-3610QM
Memory: 8gb
discrete graphics: nvidia 660m
OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
Was having issues with laptop, i reformatted and updated all the drivers. still did not fix.
The issue:
When playing games (tested on BL2, CSGO, The Forest, TF2) with the 660m it runs fine for about 5min then starts to freeze/stutter (both sound and video). The FPS drops from around 120+ to around 20 for about 30seconds then snaps back to 120+ for another 30, then repeats. This does not happen when using the integrated video. Temps are staying in the 40-70c range.
Thanks in advance!

Yes all games are on the internal hard disk.
Try to turn off the power saving function of the HDD.

cpu voltage is typically N/A
about MP, this depend of CPU used, if you have XM chip then you can go over.
For your i7-3630QM you can go over.

MSi GE60 0ND - Fan has started to randomly speed up slow down

MSi GE60 0ND-463UK
I7 3630QM
GTX660M
Windows 8 64 bit
As of yesterday, my laptop has started to weirdly (under no loading on GPU or CPU, CPU 20% max during HD video watching on Youtube/Twitch.tv) causing my fan to go from being quiet to shoot up in speed, this seems to stop when plugged in but when on battery power it's becoming more frequent. The only thing that is being done on the laptop when this happens is internet browser use.
I cleaned my laptop 2 days before yesterday so it can't be a heat issue or dust issue. I'm quite clueless right now. I'm not what else to tell you, as that's all I've done. No updates to windows, no software updates on anything for over a week now I believe. Cable issue maybe?
Hope I can get some info on this.

Yes, indeed the MSI download servers seems to be crapped out right now.
But i have a backup of wanted firmware at my PC,
im attach it here for you.
For flashing you can use >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
point to mode 1 then point to archive file.
wait the USB key to be prepared, then reboot your notebook.
go in BIOS setup, then set boot mode to legacy,
then save and exit, and press F11 at bios post/logo screen for BBC popup with storages,
when USB key appear choose it to boot from it and proceed with update
USB prepared properly according to the Software. Restarted my laptop
Legacy mode engaged, saved ad exited, pressed F11, found my USB Kingston, and this is the message I received when selected. Not quite sure what it meant but clearly something is wrong.

MSI GE 60 Fan Issues

Hi all
My laptop MSI GE60 has been working fine for about a month and a half.
I let my brother play it yesterday and when i went on it 3 hours after he finished with it. i noticed the fan kept spinning up every 4 seconds it spins to 100% and then down and repeats.
I am wondering if this a feature he accidentally turned on as he didn't say it was doing it when he was playing it.
Or is using the fan boost killed the sensors or killed the fan itself.
or maybe its a driver update / windows update which installed once he turned it off so that when i turned it on it caused this after he finished with it.

i turned off and removed the battery for 5 minutes it still doing it most of the time.
should i be flashing the bios then turning off and removing the battery ?
i only turned off and removed the battery for 5 minutes .

MSI GE60 OND-614SA BLACK SCREEN

hi guys need your help/assistance/opinion and solution about my msi ge60.
1. i always leave my laptop at home open, when i come home. it wont boot anymore.
2. when i press power, only black screen.
3. no indication of led's reading hard drive or something. the only led light is the power led.
4. i already risk the warranty on my part because i open it thinking that maybe its just a memory problem or hard drive problem.
5. but still the same.
anyone have idea or same problem with me.
thanks.

ive read already the topics that could help to solve this issue. but the problem is that their issue is not the same like me...when i open my laptop...only black screen nothing else happening...i try the ec reset...nothing happened...
Did you try hard rebooting? Is the AC plugged in? Is the led blinking or just shinning?

[Request] Bios Update for MSI 290x Lightning (Fan Issue)

Hey there,
i'm forced to use 14.4 Catalyst now and having Fan Issues since then.
So here is my S/N:
S/N: 602 - V307 - 04SB1402053468
A short instruction on how to Flash correctly would be awesome

Use the attached UEFI vbios versions to fix the fan issue.
TV307MH.101 is normal vbios, TV307MH.111 is LN2
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (307_04s.rar) and put the included file (TV307MH.101 or TV307MH.111) on that stick.
Rename TV307MH.101 / TV307MH.111 to 101.rom / 111.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 101.rom (or 111.rom) [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

Yep, already saw in FAQ
Aha, wasn't aware that there is such FAQ
Just checked and noted:
http://www.msi.com/service/faq/672.html
Q: Why is it that when I press the TURBO button the system does not overclock, instead a screen will pop up for user-defined key set-up?
A: The scenario you encountered is normal since this model doesn’t support overclock function. Note: When the TURBO LED turns blue, it indicates that the system is under heavy loading thus system automatically switches to Nvidia dedicated graphics usage. On the other hand, when the TURBO button is pressed and user-defined key shows up, the blue light will turn off.
So there is minor difference in what i said, its open user defined key configuration when Turbo is pressed and not 3Dmark page.
Seems this is the minor difference between GE60 and GE70 Series.
Noted that GE60 don't have P1 button, which seems Turbo button is assigned to this function instead.
http://www.msi.com/service/faq/673.html
Q: When I press the TURBO button the system will not overclock, instead I will be redirected to the 3D Mark website, is this normal?
A: The scenario you encountered is normal since this model doesn’t support overclock function. When the TURBO LED turns blue, it indicates that the system is under heavy loading thus system automatically switches to Nvidia dedicated graphics usage. On the other hand, when the TURBO button is pressed, you will be redirected to http://www.3dmark.com wherein you can choose to engage into some GPU testing.

MSI GE60 0ND Fan running at 100% issue

Hi,
So for the past few months my laptop has been having the issue where it would have the fan speed increase to 100% then slow down and turn off. It would do this a lot. Anyway, tonight I was playing a game and next thing I heard the fan increase to 100% but this time it made a loud almost grinding noise. And that's all it does now. It has slowed my boot up incredibly. I unplugged the fan to test this theory and my boot up was less than 10 seconds. So now I have a fan making a loud noise and creating issues with my laptop. I have a GE60 0ND windows 8.1. The bios has never been flashed and it came installed with windows 8. Can anyone help me? I have tried an EC Reset.

tell what's your BIOS and EC versions

There was an issue with the EC firmware that could cause this.
Go to your GE60's support page and download the latest EC firmware and use the MSI HQ USB Flasher to flash it.
