So...after a long time i was inactive coz of work and other stressing stuff i'm back...starting with a question ofcourse :P ...
anyways guys i want to share you with somthing..after a year with my MSI GT60 0nd i started to notice some LAG and low FPS in some games..  (BattleField 4 and such), and now i'm really trying to think what to do if to buy a new one.. ? or try upgrading the one i already own from GPU 675GTX to the 780GTX or 765...
anyhow i really want to know if that's possible and if any one here has already done that...
Also !! is it possible to upgrade the CPU ? ? to the new gen 4700 ?? i know already now that the chances it can happen are low but i'm not sure so i'm asking...Thanks guys!!

Hey Dark Hawk,
sorry for the time it took me to replay.
Thanks for the time you took to answer me, i really dont want to purchase a new laptop right now and i do want to upgrade it.
i dont know where to buy an mobile gpu(770gtx or 780) is there any place that sells those and ships? how much should it cost ?
regarding to the cpu i would be glad if you could tell me if i could get to a really major improvment or its a waste of time.. ?
Thanks again, i appriciate it alot!
The CPU is most likely not worth the cost to replace it, to be perfectly honest. You COULD do it, and you might see a slight performance increase, but not like going from a 3910 to a 4700 or something.
The GPU upgrade will help the most. You should be able to technically handle a GTX780M, provided you have at least a 180W power supply. You can get those from Ebay or resellers. You might be able to get one straight from MSI as well.

  • Hi Everyone Im New, Got Question About Upgrading MSI GT60 0ND With SSD

    Hi Everyone I'm New, Got Question About Upgrading MSI GT60 0ND With SSD.
     :welcome:So As I've stated I'm new here, or at least got a new MSI notebook.
    Ive got the new MSI gt60 0ND with 750GB HD and 675 Ge-Force GTX , anyways to the bottom line.
    I would like to Upgrade my computer with SSD that I bought and install the win8 on it, in order to speed things up, but I have encountered a few problems..
    1. there is no sticker on the back of the computer that gives information about the serial number of my windows 8...
    2. lets say in some magical way I could get the serial number out, can I use it to reinstall ? because Ive heard that you cannot use this CD key anyways unless you got a special win8 installation CD key from MSI because its MSI branded windows 8.
    am I screwed    ? ?? ? I thought it is possible to upgrade with SSD but it seems like MSI made it very hard, I do not understand why they even putted the warranty void sticker on the expansion bay's .... WEIRD..
    Please help !! Thanks in advance,

  • MSI Gt60 0nd wont recognize USB 3.0 mass storage device (WD)

    Hi all 
    my notebook MSI Gt60 0ND wont recognize USB 3.0 mass storage device (WD), Western digital my passport 1TB USB 3.0 \ USB 2.0Compatible.
    i connect the WD my passport to the SS USB 3.0 but it wont be recognized it only gives it electricity to spin but that's it, on the other hand if i connect it to the USB2.0 it is recognized.
    i installed all the drivers from MSI to this computer the Intel USB 3.0 and the Intel chipset which are the only drivers that can be related to this.
    i use windows 7, even when i had windows 8 it didn't work.
    i tried upgrading the Western digital my passport firmware and even got the software thought that maybe it could help but still no luck.. any one got any idea for a solution ?
    Thanks in advance,
    David.

    Does anything else work when you plug it into your USB 3.0 port? How about a mouse? Keyboard? Another USB Flash drive?
    If nothing works in that port, your USB 3.0 port or card is probably bad. RMA time. 

  • MSI GT60 0ND 675M Throttling Problem (NEED HELP)

    Hello MSI Forum
    I have 2 year old MSI GT60 0ND with Intel i7-3630QM and Nvidia GTX 675M with 2GB GDDR5 memory.
    My problem is focused to all games. After few minutes playing game fps starts to drop frequently under 30 fps.
    But after few seconds it comes back to normal state.
    I have cleaned fan from dust and it doesnt have any effect. Also running fan on turbo mode doesnt have any noticable effect.
    - Never updated bios
    - Running Windows 8.1
    - Always updating drivers.
    - Intel speedstep is disabled, no effect.
    I think its problem with CPU throttling but i cant find any thread to help with issue.
    Anyone can help me?
    Thx in advance!

    Hi ijimma,
    1. Does the problem happen recently? If so, then maybe some driver or system update has caused the problem.
    2. Check the FAQ and see if turning off the HDD power saving function. (http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-977.html)
    3. What's the current graphics driver version? (this msi tool helps to export all driver version and installed programs, so sharing the text file to us can let us know better about your system environment.)

  • MSI GT60 0ND Restore Windows 8 DVD

    Hi everyone, today i tryed to install Ubuntu on my MSI GT60 0ND, just for fun. After 2 days of using, I wanted to get back to Windows 8. I started to restore via msi restore disks. And found that 3rd disk is damaged.
    I tryed to restore the disk. Copyed the OSImg3.swm, and noticed that just 0405, 0409, 0445 files are damaged.
    So please guys who can upload 3rd disk or know the way to fix my problem please answer.
    I need only 3rd disk, total disk quantity is 5.
    My notebook model is MSI GT60 0ND-286CZ:
    Intel Core i7 3630QM
    RAM 12GB DDR3
    NVIDIA GTX 675M 2GB
    64 + 64 SSD RAID 0 (Super Raid)
    750 GB 7400 rmp hdd

    Easier to say which ones NOT to install.
    http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT60-0NC.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win8%2064
    Don't install the Raid drivers unless you use raid.
    Start with the Chipset, Intel Management Engine Drivers then install the others one by one depending on which devices your laptop is equipped.

  • MSI GT60 0ND Wont charge.

    One Day it World, next Day it dosent charge. I noticed it  at 10% so im all out of power. I have tryed diffrent plugs and taking battery out and in again. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone know anything about a similar problem?
    Now does warranty cover it not charging?
    Also is something wrong with this model? The GT60 0ND, I were just wondering because something else is also wrong, screen driver has stopped responding. And that didn't fix after getting new graphic card, also has some dead pixels. I don't end help for these problems tho. I were just wondering, not complaining every other msi product we had worked perfect. Maybe I'm just unlucky.
    Should be noted my PC has a GTX 675MX instead of a GTX 675M because apparently they swapped it around when I send it to warranty, the problem ain't completely gone tho (wich is weird, only happens in Arma 3 and AC4 now. But w/e.)
    Not sure if this matters.
    Edit: quick question does all msi notebooks use same charger? If not do anyone know wich notebooks use the same as gt60 0nd.
    Edit:got a old charger, that works, only does half the power tho, will it just be slower?

    So in my search for a new one, i found http://www.batteribyen.dk/stromforsyninger/laptop-baerbar-stromforsyning/msi-stromforsyning/msi-gt780-adapter-stromforsyning-180w wich seems to be the exact same as mine. But it says it wont work for my PC, now if i search for one that will work for my PC, I find 125w wich doesn't seem to make any sense. You guys think I would be able to use the linked one for my PC?
    Now if I go look at the gt780 wich the website above says it should work for I see the power adaptor is 150w (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT780.html#?div=Specification) now if I go to the website it sells 180w for this PC? Have they gotten something wrong or have I?
    This sentence probably doesn't make much sense, sum up.
    The adapter I linked is 180w and if you scroll down, you see gt780 is one of the products that the adapter would work for. Now if I go to msi's website the gt780 says that the adapter it needs is 150. And if I search for a adapter for my gt60 0nd, I find 125w but on msi's website it says it needs 180w. Do you guys think I can use the first linked one for my gt60 0nd? The output 9,5a and 19v matches. And it looks the same on the picture although I can't see the written things on the picture.

  • MSI GT60 0ND-250US BSOD during gaming

    I've had this laptop for about 6 months now and recently (this past week) I've been having problems with it. Every time I try to play a game other than league of legends the game runs for about 30 seconds to a minute before locking up and freezing. Sometimes I get a BSOD sometimes I get the popup that says my driver has recovered from an error. I've been monitoring my CPU and GPU temps during this time and they don't even go over 80c. There's no artifacting or anything just locks up on me. Runs league of legends flawlessly, but anything else from my steam library doesn't work.  The error codes have been DPC_Watchdog_Violation or VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE nvlddmkm.sys. 
    System Specs:
    Windows 8
    Intel Core i7 -3630QM
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M / 2GB GDDR5
    12GB DDRIII RAM
    Please help me, I have no idea what else to do.

    create a bootable USB key and extract nvidia flash tool over the USB key:

    then boot your notebook to pure DOS and type:

  • MSI GT70 0ND-444US CPU and GPU upgrade

    So I have had the GT70 0ND-444US for almost 2 years now, It's an amazing laptop - the only issue is, the GPU is getting outdated and slow for today's games and I was wondering what are my options for upgrading to a new GPU like the GTX 770M? or the GTX 970M? Would cooling be a problem? Also what are my options of upgrading the i7-3630QM to something better?

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-official-msi-gt60-70-970m-980m-upgrade-thread.765058/
    Get the 970m. 
    I would upgrade to either a 3740qm or 3840qm.  They have a few unlocked turbo bins and you'll get phenomenal performance from those chips. 
    You can upgrade an extreme mobile CPU (3920xm or 3940xm) but they are more expensive usually and also run hotter than the previous mentioned quads. 

  • My GT60 0ND just completely died... help?

    'm usually not the one to ask for support like this, but this time I would really appreciate some advice. I cherish my MSI GT60 0ND-250US laptop, and while playing a simple, non-graphically demanding game last night, my entire laptop just died. In a split second the fans turned off, the screen went black, the hard drive shut down, and it was completely bricked. It didn't overheat, as that was the first thing I felt for and upon inspection the fans are clean of dust. Talk about any computer user's worst nightmare!
    So far, I have tried:
     - Removing the power supply and trying to start it up
     - Removing the battery and plugging it in and trying to start it up
     - Removing the disk drive and trying to start it up
     - And finally, removing the HD and trying to start it up
    And, as you could probably guess, none of it worked :(. I'm trying not to freak out, but short of replacing the CPU/GPU, I can't really think of what to do! Every 20 seconds or so I can see the battery indicator LED flash on for a split second, so some power is flowing sometimes at least. Otherwise, it is completely 100% dead. I can't find any similar problems for MSI laptops online, and as I said, I'm pretty desperate at this point. If anyone here has any advice at all, I would be greatly, greatly appreciative!

    Thank you so much for the quick response! In response to your advice:
    1. I just tried uninstalling one RAM stick and starting it up, no change.
    2. This is one thing I'm hesitant to try - If I uninstall the GPU, I don't have the thermal paste or whatever it's called to reinstall it. Also, I was under the impression that even if the GPU was broken in some way, I would still hear the fans trying to start up. I can of course try this if you believe it's the best course of action, but hopefully as a last resort.
    3. Just tried that now, and there doesn't seem to be blinking. Also, I was a bit unclear in my original post: I saw the battery light blinking at about 20sec intervals last night (while the battery was installed and the laptop unplugged), but after a while gave up and got some sleep. By the time I woke up today, the blinking stopped, even though literally nothing changed except for the passage of time.
    Again, thanks for the great advice!

    Oh jesus. Sadly, I visited there back in 2006. I had a great time back then. Now I think I'll stay away. >.<
    That being said, yeah, there isn't much you can do. I've had people paypal me money and then purchasing the part, and forwarding it to them (they were in AUS though).
    Not sure I can do that this time around again though. I'll be gone for a week too starting on Sunday, so yeah, I wouldn't be able to get to it for another 2 weeks. =/

  • Msi gt60 ram

    Hello,
    I buy msi  GT60 0ND-099FR .
    I can not find or is the ram on the inside.
    I see two empty slots of ram.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    This unit can support up to 32GB total (8GB x 4 slots).

    http://www.materiel.net/ordinateur-portable/msi-gt60-0nd-099fr-80150.html
    The spec shows this unit comes with 8GB therefore the 4GB x 2 are underneath the keyboard.
    You can add 2 more of 4GB/8GB modules.

  • MSI GT70 0ND - Upgrading Video card

    Hello! I currently own an MSI GT70 0ND with a gtx 675m gpu in it. Im looking into upgrading it to the 770m which I was told should fit fine. Thats mainly my question here, does anyone know for sure if the 770m will fit properly with the heat sync? The cards are identical aside from the Chip themselves on the board. I'd like to assume all would be well considering the 770m's chip is slightly smaller in width.
    Thank you for any information :D

    Laptopvideo2go. it's the Place to get video drivers when others fail; all new hardware gets added to the infs instantly when revealed.
    NVIDIA_DEV.11E0 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M" is supported in the latest inf;
    download http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/335.23/335.23-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe
    and unzip it into a drawer.
    download modified inf http://laptopvideo2go.com/infs/335series/33523_win8x64/nv_dispi.inf
    copy the modified inf into the Display.Driver drawer and then run setup - hope it works. If not, try another driver with a modified inf.
    It worked as far as installing, but after rebooting the laptop goes to a blue screen. Looking at the screenshot, does this have MSI bios? Will I have to flash it to MSI?

  • 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.   

  • Compatibility Upgrade in MSI GT60-0NE

    Hi i have a question in my MSI GT60 0NE-403US laptop.
    it is that possible to upgrade my HDD to SSD?
    if yes what brand and size is compatible? and theres a 2 slot of HDD can i put 2 SSD?
    I want to upgrade also the RAM upgrade 12gb elixir 1600. what brand and compatible RAM?
    Thank you alot.
    Cheers

    Quote from: RX-8 on 15-May-15, 14:01:53
    Yes, you can replace the 2.5 HDD to the same 2.5-inch SSD. For the recommended brand and size, since it's an old model, you can easily google some info on the Internet for reference.
    About the RAM upgrade, you need to notice if it's DDR3L (low-voltage, 1.35V).
    if it's not DDR3L aka 1.35v ram
    just get all new ram DDR3L and swap it will save your battery life and drop CPU temps a little
