MSI GT60 Destroyer 424 Mic Problems

Hello everyone,
I picked up a MSI GT60 online from Best Buy a couple of weeks ago. I have been searching the forums, reddit, etc. for posts about the internal mic having issues with buzzing all time.
I would really like to find a way to fix this, because using the built in microphone would make the most sense. Otherwise, I figured (from what I read) that I would have to purchase a USB headset.
Does anyone have any workarounds or tips on how to improve the quality of the built in microphone or reduce the static/buzz noises?
Thanks for your time.

First thing I'd try is the EC reset procedure.
1. Turn off computer
2. remove AC adapter
3. remove battery
4. leave laptop alone for 10 minutes
5. install battery
6. install AC
7. Turn on computer and see if it's fixed
This isn't guaranteed to fix it, but it's a start.
By the sound of it though, there might be more issues than just a simple EC reset.
If the EC reset doesn't fix it, then I would contact MSI and possibly consider an RMA.

MSI GT60 Dominator 424 - Low Frame Rates

Hi fellow MSI fans!! Just got my MSI GT60 Dominator 424 packed with 4800MQ and the nvidia GTX870M.Sadly i noticed very low fps on all games. Battery mode set a high performance. GPU selected as 870M and not the intel while gaming. GPU setting all set to optimal values(No AA or Vsync).
Dota 2 : 65-75 Fps
Starcraft 2 HoS : 35-65 fps
Only 2 games tried so far. In game settings - Ultra with no AA.
Is there an fps limitation in the nvidia Drivers or is something else wrong??
Not able to enjoy gaming :( My other laptop with gtx560M performs better

Quote from: martinkyle20;103768
I tried the msi driver no difference in performance from the latest driver, Also repasted the GPU & CPU with IC Diamond 24 to reduce heat and fan noise got about 3-5 degree improvement (90c) while using FurMark. 800 series isn't living up to its reputation
Try to set the ‘javaw.exe’ to run on NVIDIA GPU. This will improve the FPS of Minecraft.
Minecraft is running by ‘javaw.exe’ and since it’s not actually a game's .exe file, NVIDIA Control Panel can't detect it and it'll be running by Intel GPU.

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 GT60-0NC 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 -.-

Msi gt60 domainator 424 gaming! PLEASE ANSWER

Hi everyone ! I just bought my new gaming laptop the MSI GT60 2PC Domainator 424
GTX 870m 3 GB Version
8 GB Ram
i7 4810mq
1 TB HDD
SO i wanna ask that what is the best to play...with
plugged in AC adapter or AC removed (battery life) ??
Because when the AC Adapter plugged in i see tempreture more than when i am playing on battery life about 10 dgree
but battery stay for 1 hour when playing !
Also i want to ask what is the safe tempreture when i am playing and what's the danger tempreture ?
Thanks in advanced

When gaming it is recommended to keep your power supply plugged in.
Temperature should stay around 93 Celsius give or take on full load for gpu and around 80-90 for cpu. When they get above 93 Celsius they will throttle down.
At 100 Celsius or higher it will shutdown to protect against overheating.

MSI gt60 Bigfoot KIller 1202 problem

Hi, I'm having an issue on my MSI gt60 and some help would be highly appreciated!
Even after the installation of the drivers I can't connect either with the cable or in wifi
(bluetooth seems to work fine).
I had to make a clean windows 7 installation with a dvd that I already had.
I have the Bigfoot Network Killer Wireless 1202 on my laptop and before it worked quite fine. It worked fine also in another clean windows 7 installation that i made few days ago,but not this time. What can I do?
Thank you in advance, good day!

I have heard about connection issues (Messenger, Game for Windows, Itunes and other) with the onboard Killer E2200 Lan before.
This was caused by an old Killer Network Manager version.
The new Killer E2200 driver v6.1.0.395 should solve this.
Download it here:
http://www.killergaming.com/support/Downloads?category=3&model=123&download_type=1&os=7
Also contains drivers for Killer Wireless 1202.
Make sure you uninstall the old Killer driver and application before installing the new.

MSI P67A GD80 (B3) mic problem

gonna post machine first and then get to the point
Mobo: MSI P67A GD80 (B3)
RAM: Apacer 4GBx2 1333mhz
CPU: Intel Core I5 2500
GFX: 2x SLI MSI 560GTX Twin Frozr II OC edition
PSU: Cougar CM1000
Headset: Razer Piranha
Speakers: Logitech X530 5.1
Keyboard: Logtech G110
OS: Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate v.7200
Every time i try to use the rear port on my motherboard for my Mic the sound volume is VERY low. I've checked all my settings and mic volume is maxed out so i have to resort to use the mic port on my Logitech G110 keyboard which works fine so there's nothing wrong with the mic itself, I'am pretty sure this is Windows issue and yes i know this should probably be posted on some Microsoft forum but I've tried that to no avail just trying to get MSI's point of view of the issue I've uninstalled and re installed my sound card drivers and download the latest ones which came out this month which also don't help the problem. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?
Any help would be appreciated

got a cheapo Logitech headset from work to test and it seems to work now so it seems that my old headset is the problem weird thing is that i still worked in keyboard but not my motherboard slot its probably the wiring on my razer headset. Thanks for you help anyways jack

MSI GT60 2PC Dominator BIOS Update RAID0 problem

HI THERE , this is my first topic in msi forum and I hope you can solve my problem
I have the MSI GT60 2PC Dominator, my laptop came with FreeDOS with E16F4IMS.50Y non raid0 bios version (installed only one msata 128Gb), One day i upgraded my Laptop, I installed two more msata 128Gb. Now 384Gb Raid0 hard disk and i installed windows 8.1 64bit (Working UEFI mode).
I flashed the bios yesterday to the E16F4IMS.515 which is the latest one but it seems that it doesn't support the RAID0, i didn't care about that, i installed windows 8 but everyday i'm getting several problems with GPU and that blue screen and its really annoying.
So i tried to upgrade E16F4IMS.715 , But Flash_BIOS_by_UEFI_BIOS_Setup_Utility_e n.pdf this method not supported my laptop (Automatically restart after select bios file.), And i tried too EFI Shell mode bios update. But there is no Afuefix64.edi and FLASH.NSH files in New bios zip file. It has only E16F4IMS.715 file.
Now my question is How can i flash the bios to E16F4IMS.715?
Sorry for my bad English and i thanks for your corporation.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
Sadly there is only 1 person that is able to help you with flashing procedure, but also directing you to the right BIOS file, and it's Svet. You might have to wait a little bit, as you may already know, it's users to users forum, and we come up when we can and if we actually want to.
What way did you flash the BIOS?
I used EFI BIOS utility method. I chose BIOS file and when i click OK button , it starts normally after 20-30sec. it doesn't update bios. How ever it works on E16F4IMS.515 (Non-RAID) bios updated successfully. But not working E16F4IMS.715 (RAID0) bios.

[Solved] Network problems with MSI GX60 Destroyer, killer newtork LAN and wireless

Hi, I bought a MSI GX60 Destroyer 2 weeks ago, and I realized that my internet was a little slow, you don't realize in the web but when downloading it doesn't perform how it should, I tested the speed now with wireless and I got 5 mb/s, and I have 20 mb/s in my house (I also tested with cellphones and other pc's), with LAN the speed was normal, so I saw some forums about the Killer network, I tried to change the drivers but nothing, the wireless is limited to 5 mb/s and now my LAN too.... please help, my phone has 4x better internet than my GAMING Laptop.
Also the Atheros drivers are a pain in the ass it's really hard to remove them.
I'm now with the drivers without the Management app.

Hi Tzin,
Which graphics driver are you using?
The quick stream is installed on the notebook with the generic graphics driver from the AMD website.
If you install the AMD's generic graphics driver, you'll find the quick stream program in your Uninstall programs window.(Control Panel> Uninstall a program)
Hi hch , i only can find the "amd cystal manager " under the unintall a program , so when i click into in then only saw the device but dont see the quick stream .

Put the mouse on the mouse pad, with the fancy Dragon tattoo makes me feel I am ready to play games, Top Player Top Choice!
The SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming mouse, this is high quality headset and customized version for MSI gaming notebooks with fancy MSI dragon tattoo!!
Take a look on the customized artwork, the dragon tattoo on the metal cover of both set, and the Dragon gaming logo in the headset as well, that makes this headset more gaming style and looks powerful!
This Gaming headset belongs to MSI notebook accessories! The sound quality is really good, detail is clear on mid and high frequency, subwoofer is powerful and really suitable for gaming, even you wear for hours still feel comfortable and stable, overall quality makes me feel it’s over $150 value!
Very special stamp tool, I would like to put chocolate on this and stamp on the Dragon Gaming Cake!!
Let’s start to reveal the first lady, no, the real steel of GT60 Dominator Pro!!
Look at the surface of the design, Dragon logo with light from darkness on the cover, and the metallic material on top cover and palm rest side, which makes the GT60 Dominator Pro looks high quality and gaming style.
Take a look on the cover side, the Dragon Gaming Logo is really fancy and stylish with backlit. Brushed metal design makes the cover looks high quality and solid.
Sound by Dynaudio speaker system, the best famous mobile sound system on this top level GT60 Dominator Pro gaming notebook is really amazing, great on sound detail and real good acoustic of human vocal and great sound stage presents!
We put all the accessories together and boot up to check further detail on GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS version! The display quality is vivid.
Let’s take a look on the detail spec., 384GB SSD Super RAID, Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, top level GTX880M 8GB GDDR5 graphics, 32GB RAM. It’s all top level and could use for 3 more years of ultra-quality games!
When first time to use MSI gaming notebooks, you will feel amazing about the SteelSeries keyboard is really good typing feeling and solid based. It comes with multi-color backlit and move the windows key to right side, that really professional design as a gaming notebook keyboard, and the only one with real gaming design.
Take a look in the SteelSeries Engine, the exclusive gaming software only for MSI gaming notebooks. This macro keys software built in Keypress macro, Text macro, 1 key launch program and Disable key function, besides F1~F12, all other keys could be used for macros setup, and 4 layers of keyboards o setup 4 sets of macros with 4 sets of different backlit combinations, so this is really a great software for smarter and stylish gaming experience.
With CPU-Z tool to check, the upgraded Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, TDP 47W, 4 Cores 8 Threads is really great performance, CPU Boost could up to 3.5~3.7GHz.
Because of Core i7 4800MQ and GTX880M, the 3D benchmarks comes with breakthrough scores than ever on the notebook platform, 3D Mark Fire Strike: P5351 pts.
The GT60 Dominator Pro on 3D Mark 11 gains P8461 pts, it’s whole new level of the gaming notebooks, and It’s over 15% faster than GTX780M!
The 3D Mark Vantage boost up to P33115 scores, it’s 14% faster than GTX780M!
Then we check on other software of DirectX11 3D performance, the Heaven Benchmark is world’s 1st software tool to test DirectX11 effects, this time we use Heaven Benchmark version 3.0 to test.
Set the Tessellation on normal to enable DirectX11 effects and run Benchmark, the Full HD resolution could get 78.2 FPS(Frames Per Second) high score result.
Since this GT60 is 3K IPS panel edition, of course we have to try 3K resolution, you could see that the result block is smaller at 2880x1620 resolution, the result is 42.7 FPS with same setup, so we could say that 3K resolution will reduce over 45% of the FPS rate in this test, but GTX880M is too powerful, so still over 40FPS, and most games we need to get over 30 FPS to play and feel smoother, at least 20 FPS to play a game, if lower than 20 FPS, that will makes people feel lag obviously and feel dizzy easily.
Since we tried some benchmark, of course we have to try at least a famous game to the real world experience. Battlefield 4, the biggest FPS game title since end of 2013, is one of the heaviest loading games on PC platform.
First we made Battlefield 4 detail at 1920x1080 with Ultra Graphics Quality setup.
The gaming frames is 46 FPS, really smooth and around 20% faster than GTX780M.
Once we tune up the resolution to 2880x1620, the FPS drops a lot because the Ultra mode also set 4xMSAA (Anti-Aliasing), that will impact the performance a lot in higher resolution, also make graphics memory demand around 3GB~4GB, seems the 8GB GDDR5 with GTX880M is prepared for upcoming games with such as 3K or even higher resolutions!
We could see it’s about 24~28 FPS under 3K resolution with Ultra Graphics Quality, most time it will reduce over 40% FPS rate of the gaming performance.
Seems to set the Battlefield 4 with “High” graphics quality on 2880x1620 resolution is more suitable to play the game smoother in every theme.
It’s about 42 FPS, close to the 1920x1080 Ultra graphics quality. So if we want to play heavy loading games at 2880x1620 resolution, set to High graphics quality setup is a good option for 3K gaming!
After these 3D and gaming tests, let’s take a look on the temperature of the cooling system. The room temperature is 25 degree C, the temperature of fan out part is 71.2 degree C, it’s not a surprise because of GTX880M and Core i7 4800MQ, even it’s a bit lower than most gaming notebooks with this 2 combinations. The palm rest and keyboard side is 30.6 degree C, it’s really cool for users to hands on.
After the fabulous experience of great 3D performance, let’s take a look on the benefits of “Super RAID 2”, normal 2.5” HDD is about 80~100MB/s, single SSD is about 400~550MB/s, BUT, GT60 Dominator Pro boost over 1536MB/s and average is 1477MB/s, that’s 15x faster than single HDD, almost 3x faster than single SSD.
If we check on the AS SSD Benchmark tests, you could see more detail of the storage access performance is amazing, the Sequential read is 1116.76MB/s, write is 786.79MB/s. 4K-64Thrd read is 665.09MB/s, write is 461.18MB/s, it’s ultra fast!
The GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition comes with Killer Doubleshot LAN and WiFi, it provides faster response time of gaming experience, when you at different LAN/WiFi environment, Killer software will ask you to make an internet speed test, this will fine tune your LAN/WiFi for smoother and faster online experience.
MSI also got a new software tool called “Dragon Gaming Center”, this tool is also good for hardware monitor and utility launch tool. Also could show the status of Hybrid Power enable or disable.
The ultimate weapon for enthusiast gamers:
The GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS version is extremely powerful, it comes with most of the features that a great gaming notebook could have, 3K IPS panel is really great effect of vision quality, SteelSeries keyboard with SSE is amazing for gamers to play their games smarter, Sound By Dybaudio present really good detail sound quality, Killer Doubleshot is faster for online gaming, of course the GTX880M is awesome for gamer to play Full HD even 3K resolution games, the backlit of Dragon logo and keyboard is really beautiful.
Conclusion:
The overall score I will give this GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition with Super Pack is 95 out of 100, this is really great machine for any hard core gaming or power user usage, I would recommend any one to must-have this notebook if it’s affordable for you!!

Ok either you work for MSI or you changed the settings in 3dmark11. I only scored around 5K with my GT60 2PE 3k. Any idea why I'm scoring 3k below you? Laptop was plugged in btw. Also how can you enter bios settings with this laptop? I suspect that maybe the hybrid gpu thing is affecting my score, and the Pc is probably not fully utilizing the GTX 880M, maybe in bios I can disable the integrated CPU's video card??? Please let me know. Thanks.

MSI GT60 with Vertex 4 SSD - Freezing, won't load Windows only in SATA III port

Hello,
New to the world of SSD's and trying to get my Vertex 4 to be able to operate at 6 Gb/s. I know that in my MSI GT60 that it has to be in port 1 because that is where the SATA III controller is, port 4 is just a SATA II. I was able to update the Vertex 4 to firmware version 1.5 and when it is plugged into port 4, no issues at all. It will run and take anything i throw it while running at 3 Gb/s in SATA II mode. My port 1 currently houses a 500gb Western Digital Scorpio drive.
As soon as i throw the Vertex 4 in port 1, issues arise. Sometimes i get a disk read error right after bios, sometimes it just freezes. On the latest Intel RST for my board, 11.2.0.1006 it can actually boot on occasion but 90% of the time freezes but still only reads 3 Gb/s when it does boot. It does the same thing in version 11.1.0.1006 and any older RST it just freezes or says disk read error and never boots.
I have my bios set to AHCI mode and i have tried the Vertex 4 by itself and also with the WD 500gb in the other port. When i switch back to Vertex 4 in port 4 and WD in port 1, no issues at all. Just trying to see if this is a known issue or anything else i can look at. I made sure to break the RAID 0 and it was a clean install of windows 7 to the drive.
Running on bios E16F3IMS.10M. The Vertex 4 is at its latest firmware as well. I do have one PCI device i can't identify in Windows and thinking it might be the issue but can't narrow it down. I have the Intel RST installed.
I also posted this on the OCZ forum and did their tips as well.
Thanks!
James
