MSI GT60 0NC throttle problems with BD PROCHOT enabled

MSI swapped my broken Nvidia GTX 670M for a 870M and flashed a new BIOS. My Intel I7 3610QM processor now throttles down to about 1.17 Ghz in games causing the games to be unplayable. This didn't happen before sending it to MSI. I've send it back already but MSI said they couldn't find anything.
So I went and looked for a solution myself and found that disabling BD PROCHOT with Throttlestop 7b3 prevents the CPU from throttling. I tested this and this works perfectly.
My question is this:
Is this safe to use as a permanent fix, or is there an alternative?
It's stupid I need software for this, can't this be done with a BIOS update/fix?
BIOS version is E16F3IMS.51X

The CPU temperature varies from 45 to about 89 degrees Celcius. The CPU throttles at random temperatures, it doesn't need to get too hot to do this which doesn't make sense. It only happens when I'm intensively using my GPU and CPU at the same time.
Depending on the amount of cores used it repeatedly dips from 2.3 Ghz or 3.1 Ghz to 1.17 Ghz and immediately goes back up. It's like watching a video get paused and played repeatedly, making it impossible to play anything.
I have this in League of Legends, Battlefield 4, Company of Heroes 2, Total War: Rome 2, War Thunder and Age of Empires 2 HD. Haven't tested other games but I think it's safe to say they will give resembling results.
I'm using the latest Nvidia driver 344.75 but had similar results with older compatible drivers.
While we're at it, do you know if MSI's battery calibration tool actually works? I only get like half an hour of browsing with chrome on battery before the laptop shuts down and I would like to get this resolved

  • MSI GT70 0NC-070NE problems with KLM and S-Bar after Live Update

    Hey there.
    Last night i decided to update my laptop with the newest drivers, so i launched Live Update and got startet.
    When it was done with all of the updates, and had rebooted, both S-Bar and KLM wouldn't start. I clicked the button to have windows try and fix it online, but it didn't help.
    After that i tried to update them to the newest version, and that didn't help either.
    Is this a know issue, or am i just unlucky? Can it maby be solved with installing Win8, as im doing that in a few days from now?

    Make sure you have installed also NET Framework before you use KLM and S-Bar and I really don't recommend to use Live Update, if you want to update your drivers to the latest just go to the manufacurer's website in download section. Don't forget to choose your version of windows before downloading!

  • MSI GT60-0NC SCM Bluetooth Problem!

    I own a MSI GT60-0NC Notebook. I have made a clean install of Windows 8 Pro. After that I installed SCM. But I have a problem. When I run SCM, bluetooth enters an endless loop which turns on and of with 1 second of delay without touching. What can cause this? Should I update BIOS? It will be my last choice though. Thanks in advance

    I had the SAME Problem with a GT70 bought on the 13.9.13!
    I update BIOS & EC!
    Now there is no loop, but i cant activate or deactivate BT. Win8 sasy its on, but no LED!
    Think this is a big BUG from MSI.
    At the old BIOS version you can uninstall SCM and reinstall KLM, than it works but no ECO/Fly Shortcut.
    With the new BIOS & EC the shortcuts work fine after clean install without SCM but no ECO & Fly shortcut. With SCM there is the BT issue and after deinstalling SCM no shortcuts work any more.
    MSI PLZ fix it!
    Place: Austria
    Edit:
    I tried it with the KLM & SCM NEW Version from the GT70 Dragon Extrem 2 Edition.......
    Same BT Issiu -.-

  • CONSIDER UPGRADING HARD DISK OF MSI GT60-0NC

    I had bought my new MSI GT60-0NC recently in Malaysia. My com is equipped with 750GB 7200rpm hdd, probably sata maybe.
    So far I am satisfied and indeed quite impressed with its performance. Who knows maybe after few years my specs will soon outdated and cant cope with my requirements for performance?
    I would like to seek for some guidance for upgrading hdd to other type of hard disk drives like ssd or raid-II.
    Is any kind of SSD hard drive can be installed on the laptop? Any brand recommendations for ssd or hybrid hard disk drives?
    Thanks a lot.

    It's really hit or miss with most SSD's for some reason.
    I've seen a few people who got Samsung 840 non-PRO/PRO drives have problems, and some who had no problems.
    Personally, I've got the super raid adapter and have 2 x Mushkin Atlas Deluxe mSATA 240GB drives in my laptop, and it work great.
    I've had a few people with Intel 520 based drives have problems as well.
    Personally, I would find what you want and try it out. If it doesn't work, you may have to return it though. Everything SHOULD work, but it's not always the case unfortunately.

    So what version of BIOS are u running?  I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems.  With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you.  Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems.  Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
    Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

  • MSI GT60-0NC Paging File Size Help!

    I'm having issues with my laptop (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT60-0NC.html#/?div=Overview) after messing with the paging file settings. I'm wondering what the default values are for this particular laptop.
    I'm not sure what it was before I started messing with it, but after I changed it my benchmark for 3d renderings (architectural visualizations done through maxwell render) have dropped more than significantly.
    While rendering, my physical memory usage is about 95%, my CPU usage is only 4% (which should be between 70-90%), and my Disk usage is 100%. Disk usage must be my problem, because when I check the resource monitor my the system is writing about 10,000,000 B/sec to the pagefile, while maxwell is reading about 13,000,000 B/sec from the pagefile. This read / write of the pagefile keeps my disk usage at 100% throughout the render.
    If I allow windows to "automatically manage the paging file size for all drives," it allocates 12288 to drive C: (OS) and none to the other drive in the RAID. Displayed at the bottom is "Minimum allowed: 16 MB; Recommended: 5107 MB; Currently allocated: 12288 MB"
    What started the problem is when I went to manually manage the pagefile myself, and moved the paging file to the other RAID drive (D:), and ever since I haven't been able to render properly. I'm trying to isolate my problem, and this is the only significant change I made to this system since it was able to render correctly, other than removing it's ability to hibernate.
    Anyone have any advice? My first step was to allow windows to automatically control the pagefile again, and its back on the C drive, but the problem still persists. I also did a system restore to a date before I made these changes, and that didn't help either.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for the response.
    Both drives in my raid are HDD, and are set to defragment weekly. Defragmenter says it was last run today, and they are both 0% fragmented.
    Update:
    My issue ended up being a corrupt scene file (for the rendering program), which once I rewrote the scene the problem has disappeared. Disk usage is back to very low, and CPU usage is back to 100% where it should be during a rendering. Slowdown was associated with the corrupt file causing me to hit the limit of my physical memory, which caused the major slowdown in reading/writing massive amounts of overflow to the pagefile.
    That's great. Atleast you know what the problem was and know how to solve it next time! 

  • MSI GT70 0NC Throttling

    Hello,
    I originally posted in the thread linked below but I though I'd post here as well. The original thread contains suggestions from other users as well as further information on what I've tried.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183574.0
    I have an MSI GT70 0NC.
    While gaming, my FPS will drop, for example, from 60 to 30 FPS (when turning a game character around to view something else for example) or overall FPS seems low when comparing my specs to a games system requirements.
    My laptop is also always plugged in, Turbo Boost is on and the fan button is on forcing the laptop fan to run at full blast while gaming.
    Temperatures also seem fine.
    I'm not sure if this is graphics card related or CPU related but it's pointing to GPU since one user observed that my card doesn't seem to be running up to it's specs.
    I've tried the following:
    -Reformatting and re-installing Windows and drivers
    -Scanning for viruses
    -Ensure up to date graphics drivers
    -Setting Power Options to High Performance in Windows
    -Setting my Nvidia graphics card as the default card used by my computer/specific games in the Nvidia Control Panel
    -Set Prefer maximum performance under Power management mode in the Nvidia Control Panel
    -Flashing BIOS with different versions
    Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    I have disabled both V-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel and in-game and the issue persists.
    Sorry for not making myself clear, I'm just saying that the 60/30 FPS is caused by the V-Sync.
    According to the Afterburner log files, there is no throttling on your GT70 0NC, so I'm not sure what's the issue you have now.

    overall FPS seems low when comparing my specs to a games system requirements.
    If you're talking about the FPS score, I'd suggest to download the 3DMark 11 and run the P-score. The result will show you if there is a problem of the graphics or not.
    It would be necessary to know the graphics driver version you're using.
    :cool:Cheers!

  • MSI GT60 Dominator Pro performance with Battlefield Hardline BETA

    Easy game on the GT60! :cool:

    thanks for your sharing:D, a lots of people talking about 3K panel now, I think it worth while it come with GTX870M graphic.

  • MSI GT60 0NC Erratic Touchpad

    I just purchased a GT60 laptop and there was an immediate issue with the touchpad. The cursor moves very erratically, often jumping from one place to another. Control is very limited. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad drivers including the latest synaptic drivers to no avail. I've run the laptop under safe mode and the problem persists. I've also done a full system restore and there has been no solution. I would greatly appreciate some advice as I am getting very discouraged with my new purchase, I'm starting to believe it is a hardware issue.

    Quote from: Tiger on 16-August-13, 06:29:08
    purchased my first MSI GT60 for business vs gaming due to many of the great features in June 2012 ... exchanged computers a few months later - not functioning properly.
    Right now, I am very frustrated with MSI, after doing a lot of research into purchasing this "deluxe" laptop, I am regretting this selection and fed up for the wasted time - which I would like to charge back to MSI for lost productivity.
    Not long into the 2nd MSI GT60 started to experience:
    a) cursor bouncing around - I don't have time to play "let's find the cursor" and once you find it, play "let's find what words/sentences it changed when it hopped elsewhere on the page".
    b) slowness!!! ???  how on earth with 12 G RAM, a brand spanking new i7 processor and 1 T hd - which had NO DATA transferred and stored on it (using external back up and 30 G usb) was it slow????
    c) " S bar stopped loading and working
    d) intel turbo booster stopped working
    e) my on screen keyboard stopped working
    f) mouse touch pad nor an external mouse was intermittently working ... when it felt like it, it would come around
    g) moving from WORD to EXCEL, the pages would temporarily freeze
    h) oddly I couldn't edit documents in WORD that I copied into, so I could highlight and color code.
    i) I tried to back up my Outlook emails - system could not find the .pst folder!
    I took it in for a 1 year service check - what should have been guaranteed 5 business days turned into 9 days - not impressed.
    They had to re-install Windows 7 and "apparently kept it to see if it would act up, of course a phone call would have been nice, except it didn't happen, not impressed.
    NOW the cursor has some kind of dial that suddenly pops up AND TOTALLY FREEZES on the page ... no cando anything until "it" decides when the game has caused "enough" frustration.  This too is intermittent.  All is fine and you're working away and suddenly full tilt stop!
    and it just did the NEXT thing that is driving me over the deep end ... the cursor suddenly CHANGES FONT SIZES .... ALWAYS SMALLER to TINIEST and this is where it stops - barely legible on the page and I can't find where the friggin' size thing is to change it or TURN IT OFF!
    I have called the Tech twice now for the same problem and I have only had it back barely 3 weeks and I didn't even call him immediately when it started to happen!!
    Today I was over the top when he told me to disable the mouse pad and see if that works ... it's a lap top .... if the mouse pad doesn't function, there's a problem.
    To have these problems in the first year - it is DEFECTIVE!! and once again the voodoo Font Monster has taken over and I can barely see this script!
    Frustration and fed up!
    My blood pressure is boiling beyond e
    Sorry you had such a bad experience, but I highly doubt all this was caused by hardware.
    Did you bother doing anything to try and troubleshoot the problem? Was the CPU overheating? Did you look at the temperatures?
    A number of the problems you seem to indicate, really point more towards there being a very bad virus or trojan installed on it. That laptop shouldn't slow down that much, and even my GT70 (which has been flawless) works great and its nearly the exact same laptop.
    I really think the problem is not as you suggest.
    Lastly, the simple fact that a single user is having a problem like this, and it's not widespread, really is indicative of it being something due to the user and not due to the design/manufacture of the laptop, unless it's a heat problem with the CPU.

  • Not getting enough performance out of Msi GT60 0NC

    Hello there guys! Since I've got my laptop I have been getting the feeling that I am not getting enough power out of my toy. I dont know if its me who have too big expectations about this laptop or it really should be performing better?:( I have done hours of research regarding drivers, graphic setup and not at least overclocking which seems to raise the performance quite a bit but it easily gets unstable. I am using Msi's preinstalled drivers as it seems like they give the best performance so far. I have also installed the modded Firmware from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162629.0 which works better than the original one from Msi. But still, i hear a lot of people playing demanding games on ultra with fps around 50-60. In bf3 I get around 40-60 on High with shadow on medium and post processing off, anti-aliasing off. Turbo is on + overclock. The performance in Gw2 is even worse.
    So here is my question: am I expecting too much from the laptop or can I do something to improve it and make it run like a charm? Another question would be if it is possible to change powervoltage to get a higher overclock?
    I would very much like to hear from u guys how your msi gt60 is performing:)
    Best regards, Mathias Kanstrup

    Same here, Gt70 0NE + 680M; overclocking GPU core causes clockdowns so gains are minimal. Overclocking memory is successful upto about 2500MHz but gains are small as the memory isn't the restricting factor in preformance - or the effect is just minuscule. So mostly 2 to 8 % in benchmarks, max.
    With extreme air cooling and a modified VBios, it's possible to get up to around 15%......I know this first hand.
    I just don't care to do it since there's little point in pushing the hardware that hard regularly. Yes, it's great for bragging rights, but it's not useful for long term use unfortunately.
    Overclocking the memory in the GTX675M might help a bit more than in the 680M. I'm not sure, I haven't really followed up on the other cards.

    on TV i have no problems, it works good.
    i download new driver but i have the same efect...
    did anybody have same problem, or you know how to make it works normaly?
