  • MSI GE70 2PC 018NL Apache Overheating/No cooling

    Last saturday i bought an MSI GE70 laptop as my old laptop was getting outdated.
    The laptop has a i7 4700 CPU and GTX850M graphics card.
    I followed the installation wizard which is shown starting the laptop and installed Windows 8.1
    I resumed to update the graphics drivers to their latest version.
    I installed ESO and found out that the laptop was feeling hot, and the FPS never came above 10 FPS.
    Because of the heat i installed MSI Afterburner to check the core temperatures, and the CPU was at around 90 degrees, the GPU at around 92 degrees.
    After doing some searches on the internet i found that some people said their laptop's cooling fan made quite a bit of noise. Mine on the other hand was completely quiet, i felt with my hand and could not feel any airflow.
    I then tried the "ice cold?"  button (correct me if i got the name wrong) to activate the cooling, but that also did not do anything.
    When not running any applications except Windows the CPU core is ~80 degrees and the GPU is ~65 degrees.
    Note: I did put the laptop on a Zalman 17" laptop cooler, with a big fan underneath, because i already know overheating problems.
    Now, the store i bought it from does allow me to return it without any trouble. I just want to know if there is something i might be missing.
    Something that might be done to activate the fans.
    Thanks in advance for any replies,
    Meervluis

    Allright, update from my reseller:
    - They agree with me that the laptop is broken, and i can get my money back OR for additional pay can get another system.
    Now... i'd like some input from you guys 
    I found two laptops which i might want to buy, but i don't know which:
    - MSI GE70 2PC 272NL Apache - Core i7 4710HQ (NVidia GTX850M 2GB DDR5)  price new 1199,- euro
    - MSI GT70 2PC 1084XNL Dominator - Core i7 4800MQ (NVidia GTX870M 3GB DDR5) price new 1349,- euro
    Now, the apache comes with Windows 8.1, the Dominator with FreeDos (which i do not know :S)
    Both of them do not have SSD, but i have two Samsung SSD's at home, so that's not a problem.
    I'd say the dominator is more bang for bucks, but i have to install Windows 7 (which i have legally) myself.
    Could you guys give me more information about both laptops? or experiences you've had.
    Thanks so far,
    Meervluis

  • Say Goodbye to my old desktop! Got my new high mobility and performance MSI GE70 2PC Apache!

    Time to get rid of my old PC, which is barely can run latest games. So, after I made some researches online, I decided to buy MSI GE60 2PC Apache. It perfectly matches my budget.
    The box inside comes with black design. The notebook is protected by a black sleeve.
    The packing includes a power adapter, MSI branded gaming mouse, a battery, CD, and manuals. I especially like the adaptor design in slim and compact size.
    The metal brush front cover looks gorgeous. I like the red dragon badge with backlight enabled. This is one of my favorites in this notebook. I believe it will make my new notebook stand out from the other Apxle notebooks when I use it in my campus. “The fruit” is not the only shining star anymore. 
    There is a red line on the side~~
    Here comes my new notebook. Btw, the packing also comes with a MSI bag.
    The labels says it features with Matrix Display (extend to 3 external monitors), Killer lan (network for gaming applications), Steelseries keyboard, and Audio Boost.
    The touch pad is in one piece. Again, metal brush!!
    Intel i7 and NVIDIA GTX 850M inside of my new baby. 
    Audio system is powered by DYNAUDIO. As I checked online, this is a Danish brand and seems to be very famous. 
    Steelseries keyboard~ I think I don’t need to mention what Steelseries is. All gamers should know it.
    I found one thing very special that the Windows key is moved to the right. According to MSI website, it is for games not to mis-touch the Windows key in gameplay. Very ergonomic design for gamers.
    It has an individual numerical key area. Good for my accounting courses.
    He he he… I used my Cannon digital camera for below full color backlight keyboard picture! I tried several shots. This one is the best one to show. Anyway, the point here is the color configurations can be customized!!
    720P webcam!
    On the left, you can find one HDMI, two USB3.0, golden audio jack with Audio Boost feature, and one combo memory card slot.
    On the right, you can find one RJ-45 with Killer lan feature, one VGA port, two USB2.0, and BD Combo drive.
    The panel can be opened up to roughly 135 degree. I think it is good enough. I am not going to use it as a tablet.  
    Sound by DYNAUDIO with 2.1 surround audio channel!
    The close-up of the shining dragon logo on the front cover.
    I find a secret feature.
    When the notebook is running by Intel integrated graphics, the power indicator shows blue. However, when it is running by NVIDIA graphics, the indicator shows red.
    Very good feature for me to know if the NV graphics is on when I play games.
    Signal Indicators show wireless, Bluetooth, hard disk, and power status.
    Okay, now it is the time to start the live demo.
    Oops…my friend is calling me….need to go out with my friend now. After I finish the basic settings, I will find time to make real gameplay demo and share with you later.

    Back again for my part 2 sharing.
    Here is my testing result of 3DMARK on my MSI GE60 2PC Apache.
    X7654
    Boot up time - SSD
    Sleeping dog - FPS
    Need for Speed – FPS average 60 FPS. (this game only supports max 60FPS)
    All settings are set to max
    Conclusion:
    The metal brush design on front and keyboard sides looks decent. I love its 17” FHD display which is good for playing games, watching videos, typing my reports in a comfortable way. After I got this, it is difficult for me to go back to smaller display.
    I expected that online streaming could cost a lot of system resource. However, its Gamecaster Xplit online streaming feature surprised me! No lag and very easy to use! Its quick boot-up time with SSD and GTX 850M gave me a whole new PC experience.
    The Haswell i7-4700HQ and NVIDIA GTX 850M are sufficient enough for games and online streaming. Not to mention it also carries Steelseries keyboard which is a Plus when I play games. I am glad that I decided to buy this GE70 2PC Apache to replace my old desktop because it can satisfy all my needs for gaming, multimedia, and document editing.  
    If you have the same demand as me and also looking for a notebook, it is worthy to give it a shot on MSI GE70 2PC Apache!!

  • MSI GE70 2PC Apache makes weird noise

    Hi guys,
    I've got this laptop for around 3 months now. And recently like every 10 min the laptop gives a weird "Prrt" sound for like 1 second.
    Then like 10-15min later it makes another "Prrrt" sound.
    It's not a hardware problem because the sound comes from the boxes and when I plug in my headset the sound is sent to the headset and then my headset makes the "Prrt" sound every 10-15mins.
    My laptop runs on windows 8.1
    What should I do?

    Which audio driver are you using? can you tell the version?
    Try to uninstall the audio driver and see if the sound is still there.

  • Need some info about getting started with the GE70 2PC Apache

    Hi guys!
    I'm about to getting the new GE70 2PC Apache gaming notebook from MSI and since I'm really putting alot of money in this I really wanna handle it gently :p So I got some questions about this, since It'll be the first time I'd but a gaming notebook.
    1) 1st of all, what do I do when I've first started the laptop? Do I place in the CD and install all the newest drivers from that CD? Afterwards install an anti virus and then I should be good to go?
    2) I heard the Haswell i7 processors from Intel produce a hell of a lot heat. When I turn on turbo fan and turbo boost and I reach temperatures of around 90°C, would it harm the hardware of my laptop? Could any damage take place? Or would my processor/graphic card have a shorter life expectancy?
    3) The graphic card would be the GTX 850m. Now I'm wondering, is on this particular laptop -> (MSI-ge70-2pc-019be-apache-azerty), is the graphic card the DDR3 version or the GDDR5 version? Because I heard even the GTX 765m can outperform the 850m DDR3. But I also heard that the GDDR5 version of this graphic card is noticeably better than the 765M graphic card.
    4)Is it wise to keep the processor going on turbo boost (3,4 Ghz) forever?
    5) Will I have internet problems? I heard alot of people having internet problems with the killer lan drivers lately..
    6) What laptop do you think I should pick in overall? The 2PC Apache version or the GE70 2OE version (the one without SSD) ?
    8) My Brother has the GE70 2OE which has the 765m graphics card, but he only has around 60 fps when he's playing League Of Legends, and LoL isn't the most demanding game right.. The FPS sometimes even drops to 40 (even when he's ALONE with no one around him). It feels like his FPS is capped at 60? Because most of the time it's just 60. But when I look at the settings I saw the FPS is uncapped.. I believe with this graphics card he must atleast achieve a constant 70-80 fps on this game right? Might something be wrong in the settings of the graphics card?
    7) Is there anything I should know before I start gaming on this laptop? (something I should do to have best performance or something..?)
    Grtz

    Well...
    1. When you get the laptop, use MSI Burn Recovery and make the backup disks (I prefer DVD's myself...). This way if something happens, you can reinstall all the software like you just bought it.
    2. Haswell does produce quite a bit of heat. As long as you don't get much higher than 90C you should be ok. If you're getting into the high 90's or even 100C range, you probably need to replace the heatsink compound. MSI has had a number of issues with that aspect on notebooks. It is easily done though.
    3. The only way to really answer that question is probably to contact MSI about it.  >>How to contact MSI.<<
    4. Turbo boost isn't really user controlled. I wouldn't worry about it.
    5. You might have issues. I'm honestly  not too sure. I know most people haven't had issues recently, but that's all relative. The drivers seem to be working rather well right now to be honest.
    6. Depends what you want and what is available. Maybe the GE70 20E + buy an SSD will be cheaper than just buying the Apache version. I don't really know, but you could always look into it.
    8. The 765M is a decent card....but remember, it's NOT the same as a 760 on a desktop. It's roughly equivalent to a 750 in the desktop world. That's not a bad card by any means, but you aren't going to be able to get 60+ FPS at 1920x1080 in many games. LOL is rather demanding as a game though to be perfectly honest. (throwing my personal opinion in on this, I always buy the highest end item I can in this case, because you won't be able to get any better really in the end until the next laptop comes out).
    7. I would setup all your games in the NVidia control panel to use the NVidia high performance graphics processor. That way there is no confusion and it will use the right video card.
    You don't really need to update drivers UNLESS you're having an issue (like BSoD's or game freezes or something similar).
    The MSI customer service in the EU really seems to be hit or miss. Some people seem to get good service, some people get really crappy service. I'm honestly not sure what the problem is over there. =/

  • My honest review of GE70 2PC Apache :) enjoy

    Heya guys 
    Today im gonna give you my review on the msi ge70 2pc apache, ive only had it for a few days and barely used it but i have tested it out to the max.
    Before i start i wanna say my msi ge70 specs are not even that good its
    GTX 850M GDDR5
    I5-4200H
    8GB ram ddr3
    750GB 7200rpm Hdd
    17´3 screen 1080p anti-glare
    ok i wanna start with the cons the negatives of this laptop
    1. The inbuilt mousepad thingy sucks so bad im serious it is no where near accurate so thank god for mouses :P
    2. Aluminium design is cool but u get finger prints everywhere srsly
    3. cool as ice when browsing internet and chillin but can get rly hot and sweaty when playing bf4 and other games at high settings your hands will sweat a little even with turbo cooler
    4. comes with 0 drivers and utility programs if u buy the laptop without an OS u have download from support burn to a dvd from another computer and then install takes time and is annoying because u cant acess internet since u got 0 drivers whatsoever.
    5.it says 750gb hdd but its actually 698gb hdd
    6. has very bad battery life
    7. dragon gaming center is useless for this laptop it serves no function except for taking up unecessary ram i would only recommend SCM and even thats not so useful
    Pros:
    1. Even though it doesent have a ssd with fastboot enabled it is super super fast and boots in literally 10 seconds or less also shutsdown in like 4 secs speed
    2. Very strong performance and horsepower i can play bf4 on 1080p ultra preset 4xmsaa with a smooth 30 fps and no lag using only a middle class gtx 850m
    3. Cool keyboard lightning but its better if u dont use it performance wise
    4. never gets hot when ur just chillin stays very cool
    5. keyboard from steelseries is good
    6. killer e2200 is amazing went from 90mbps to 120 mbps
    7. if u get win 8.1 with this laptop it works very smooth and there is no lag
    8. plugged in the cpu and gpu are overclocked
    9. turbo cooler is better than nothing
    10. good support to download drivers from msi but it takes time and for a noob like me i was frustrated as hell at the beginning
    11. the display is topnotch a nice 17´3 fullhd with antiglare and strong brightness very good
    12. audio is very good quality
    overall rating scale 1-10 i give this laptop a solid 8 tbh could be a 10 if only the cooling was better, its not bad but its not topnotch
    Hope you enjoyed my rewiew and yes i do recommend this laptop but dont buy it without an OS if you are a noobie like i was!

    it says 750gb hdd but its actually 698gb hdd
    That's perfectly fine, that's because Windows/Microsoft doesn't use correct SI units. 750 GB (Gigabyte) are 750000000000 bytes. ("Giga" just means "times 1000000000" by definition).
    Windows shows the size of your harddrive in Gebibytes (GiB), Gebi means 1024*1024*1024 = 1073741824, however, incorrectly uses the unit Gigabyte (GB).
    So your 750GB drive actually is 750000000000/1073741824 = 698.49GiB in size. That's exactly what Windows is telling you.

  • Severe Lag Spikes - GE70 2PC Apache

    Hello everyone,
    I consulted the search function and found out that I'm not alone with this, but sadly there also was no fix for my problem.
    I bought the GE70 just recently and am pretty happy with it. It has decent specs and runs every game that I play very smoothly.
    Until I enter online modes.
    I get super hard lag spikes from 50-60ms up to nearly 300ms, which is super annoying especially in games like dota2 or any shooter. These lags occur every 2-5 minutes. The MSI support suggested that I should lower my Wi-Fi adapter settings using these options
    Quote
    Dear user,
    1. Update the latest NVIDIA driver from the official MSI website.
    2. Configure the WLAN adapter setting
         1. change HT mode-> Disabled 2. Preferred Band -> 2.4GHz 3. Roaming Aggressiveness -> Lowest
    We also suggest router with 802.11n
    I did all of the above, but didnt achieve the desired outcome. In fact, it helped a little as it reduced the occurence of lags from every 2-5 minutes to every 5 minutes. Yet, i still believe that there has to be a final solution.
    This is what my device manager looks like, after I updated the latest intel wifi & bluetooth drivers:
    During all the research I did to find a solution to my problem, I cam up with a great way to test whether the problem is fixed or not.
    So for everbody that has this problem and needs to check whether it is solved, after trying something new:
    WinKey + R
    type "cmd"
    type "ipconfig" into the cmd window
    locate the Standard-Gateway for the connection you're currently using (often times it's 192.168.1.1)
    type "ping 192.168.1.1 -t"
    This will ping your router every second or two. If you leave it running for five to ten minutes, you can press Ctrl + Scroll Lock and it will show you some statistics. They look like this (if you have lag spikes)
    Anyways, after reading quite a bit, i found out that the issues I'm having might relate to the Killer e2200, unfortunately, i was not able locating neither the newest driver nor the KillerCleaner (both of which are suggested here) and therefore could not try fixing it that way.
    I am also suspecting the nvidia geforce experience software to be the cause, but i am not sure.
    So here I am guys, trying to solve this problem, since it bugs me a lot. I just want to be able to play any game without these stupid lags. Simply using an ethernet cable is not an option. :(
    So yeah, any help is appreciated.
    My Specs:
    GE70 2PC Apache
    Win7 64bit Home Premium (free windows 10 upgrade, woohoo :D)
    + the connectivity devices from above
    Here, have some more pictures of spikes:
    Edit: Wrong devmgr-pic attached.

    Ofc i did. Twice in fact. Although the first support guys were only making wild guesses such as referring to this link https://dragoonarmy.msi.com/home/info/labs/detail/309 which relates to the GT72 and not the GE70 which has no Shift whatsoever.
    Then they started talking about the HDDs power saving mode and decreasing the W-Lan-Adapters performance, as quoted above. Not only was nothing related to my problem but in fact completely off topic.
    My second experience with the support was just now. They referred me to the same guide you did and which i found myself already.
    Now the support dude suggests that i do this:
    - Reinstall Windows and only install SCM (which i believe to be the Steel Series thingy) and nothing else from the driverCD that came with the laptop.
    - then to update the bios and ec firmware (whatever that is)
    and if nothing helps i am supposed to sent the laptop for a checkup. which sucks, as i am going to shanghai in a week. so either i reinstall windows. which already sucks. or i contact msi china once i am there. and explain my problem. in chinese. probably xD
    Anyways, I don't think a new laptop should be more influenced by electromagnetic intereferences as an old one. since better shielding amirite?^^

    Now to test the system with the latest high demand games! We tested the system with crysis 3, metro last light, assassin's creed IV and battlefield 4. All these games require very high spec systems and are great for testing; we tested them on max settings and also on Nvidia’s optimized settings for each game. Nvidia has made it easy to optimize the settings to get the best performance possible out of the notebook with the GeForce experience! You can auto-optimize game settings for best performance and tweak them if you want better graphics or better frame rate.
    The result are as follows:
    Crysis 3 maxed out ran at an average of 20-30 FPS and with Nvidia’s optimized settings it ran at an average of 55-65 FPS.
    Metro last light maxed out ran at an average of 30-40 FPS and with Nvidia’s optimized settings it ran at an average of 50-60 FPS.
    Assassin’s creed IV maxed out ran at an average of 30-40 FPS and with Nvidias optimized settings it ran at an average of 35-45 FPS.
    Battlefield 4 maxed out ran at an average of 35-45 FPS and with Nvidia’s optimized settings it ran at an average of 50-60 FPS.
    All round great results from some of the highest demanding games on the market, it shows that the GE70 is capable of keeping up with your gaming needs while still being a portable, slim and light notebook.

  • Why am I lagging.. (GE70 2PC Apache)

    So this computer should be beef enough to run games like battlefield at atleast 60fps at low. but mine dont.. are some of my settings wrong or whatever? I've asked plenty of times on the forums on battlefield and got quite good answers but few of them work, and they dont help much. Hope if someone here could help me out. I can run anyother game at almost ultra.

    Which version of the GE70 2PC Apache do you have? I take it you have the one with an i7 cpu, 8 gb of Ram memory and a Nvidia GTX 850m? The maximum amount of FPS from battlefield 4 on High settings with a Gtx 850m is around 40 fps.
    So you would have to set the settings to Low-Medium regardless and probably even turn several settings off all together, like shadows.
    You also need to remember that temperatures with games like Battlefield 4 will reach 93C temp on the videocard rather quickly, which will make the laptop throttle down slightly(loss of FPS and performance) to prevent damage to the hardware. Use the Fan Boost + a Laptop cooler to prevent this for a bit longer.
    Also, just in case it is a technical issue, make sure the power button is orange when gaming and not white. If it is white, it is not using the dedicated graphics card but the built in intel one instead.

  • MSI GE70 Problem with updating new VGA driver

    Hi all,
    I just recently purchase a new MSI GE70-2OE and with my minimal understanding of notebooks, I thought it would function as normal as desktop, so I just removed the old Nvidia driver (311.xx or something) to replace with a newer version. However I constantly have this error, despite the version that I've downloaded, whether on Nvidia site or MSI download center: "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware".
    My VGA is GTX 765m. Now when I check the Device Manager, I can only find the Intel HD 4600 onboard VGA and cannot find the GTX765m under the Device Manager.
    Please help...

    By what you are saying I believe you are on win 8 x64 OS, here is the link to yours graphic card driver (if you have different OS, find the one you need) http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/70187/en-us
    Try installing it
    However I do not know how to explain why you cant find your card in device manager. Did try different software to find out is the card visible or not?(everest, cpuid etc..)
    I had some bad experience with this myself, and I was in very similar situation like you, it kept saying that the driver is not compatible nevermind which driver I got. So what I did was, downloading the most recent drivers, unistall old ones manually and install new ones.

  • MSI GE70 Blu-ray Drive Issue

    Just bought a new msi ge70 2oe-017us 2 days ago and haven't had any issues with it until I had to use the blu ray drive today. After I insert a cd into it, it sounds like its loading and then gives off an repeatedly annoying noise. The disc doesn't get recognized at all either. The cd i'm using is working in another computer.
    The bluray drive is a TSSTcorp DVDWBD SN-406AB, no flag in device manager and drives are updated.
    I have a video of the sound it's making, but the forum won't allow me to post it.

    looks like you may need to send it back if the bluray drive has malfunction.

  • What SSD do they put in the MSI GE70 2OE-013BE

    Hey, I got a question on the MSI GE70 2OE-013BE, I would like to know what SSD is in that pc because the retailer can't tell me anything about it and said that I should contact MSI, so this is just a simple question. What SSD is it?
    ty for help!

    SSD's are known to use a fraction of the power that a standard mechanical hard drive will use. Overall, you could probably get the worst SSD that is made out there and still have better performance and use less power than a standard mechanical HDD.
    I'm not really sure why you're still after this. The only real downside to a SSD is the life expectancy, and even that has been maximized to such a degree that it's not really that much of an issue.
    EDIT:And as for performance, most of the SSD's I've seen MSI use are based on the Sandforce 2281 controller (I believe that's the controller anyway), and those generally get around 400 MB/Sec sequential read speed, which is more than sufficient in most applications. You won't generally notice if it's faster than that, and even if it was only 300 MB/Sec you wouldn't really notice it.

  • Msi gt70 2pc dominator wlan

    Hey guys its me again, i have a question which i cant seem to find on the net.
    In the msi gt70 2pc dom driver page there seems to be two wlan driver; killer gaming wlan driver and intel wireless driver (beta).
    What are the differences between the two? I cant seem to find the intel wireless driver on my device manager despite installing the beta intel wireless driver. As im still having issues with the killer driver, i was wondering if i could use the intel driver. Thx

    The GT702PC has a Killer Wireless N1202 network adapter. There is no Intel adapter in the laptop (source: device manager).
    Edit - This is a Qualcomm Atheros device, so if you absolutely must start messing around with drivers, first step is the driver disc that came with the laptop, then MSI's site, then Qualcomms site.
    Extra edit - According to Qualcomm's site, the most up to date driver for this device is V10.0.0.274, which is the driver I currently have installed on my laptop/for this device. If you also have this driver installed, it's as up to date as it gets. You could try DL'ing it from Qualcomm's site & reinstalling it once you've ruled out other causes for any problem you're seeing
