Msi gt680,gt683,gt780 or DX s SATA2-SATA 3(for HDD AND SSD)

I have a question for these laptops which one them has sata 3 port for high speed SSD ? And had anyone tried that ?

Maybe but msi support team answered my question what i asked by sign in,
this exactly what are they said:
Does my notebook support SATA3 ?
Actually i am not a custumer i just want to buy your notebooks and before that i will see two things
one : user support
two:(actually this is important too):Does this notebook supports sata 3? because i want to buy a sata3 SSD after buy this notebook.(GT780)
Thanks have a good day.

Dear customer,
We didn't apply the SATA3 SSD to our notebook yet. So, we can't guarantee the compatibility.

MSI Gt680 vs GT683

I recently bought both computers, one for me and one for my brother, I used the barebone GT680 with an Nvidia GTX460 for 1 month before passing it down to my bro, now I received the GT683 NOT barebone with the GTX 560... I was running through the specs of both computers, the windows experience index gives the Nvidia GTX 460 a grade of 7.7 when my Nvidia GTX 560 gets 7.2 -.- both have the same windows installed, same amount of memory, dif are the hdd, mine has a ssd versus his that only has a regular 500gb hdd -.- can someone explain to me why the newest nvidia card gets the lowest grade? thanks.

Are you sure that your laptop is using the GTX560 and not the on-board graphics when it is running the WEI? Either way, the test is designed to score how well the hardware will run with Windows (Aero, etc.). I would run 3DMark on the two for a more accurate score.

MSI GT680 DC Power Jack burnt out

soooo basically i was havin problem with the laptop struggling to recognize when the charger was plugged in and i had to adjust it into position and make sure it didnt move for it to charge...then a few weeks back i smelt something burning and smoke came out of the fan area (which meant the dc jack had burnt out)...so i ordered a new dc power jack from USA and opened the laptop up and can i say its really poor arrangement of components by MSI cos i had to take out nearly everything to get access to the jack which was stuck to the motherboard, it should really have its own wiring and seperate area if it can be burnt like this (like my dads acer does, his dc jack burnt out too but it was completely separate wiring for it so it took him 15mins to sort it out)
aaanyways i did eventually get to the dc jack and tried to desolder it from the motherboard and it took me ages, maybe because of the solder used on the jack or maybe cos the soldering iron i had wasnt hot enough, either way i finally got it off and soldered the new jack into place and put everything back together and crossed my fingers before plugging the charger back in but there was a little spark so i took it out immediately, the circuit must have shorted somewhere or some of the components must have burnt out intially
now i've got a dilemma in what to do...i live in the UK so parts are hard to come by and i dont think im under warranty cos i've had the laptop for more then 2 years so any suggestion how i can proceed
P.S another guy had a similar problem which can be seen in the post below but no solution was posted at the end of it
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169720.0
thanks in advance

I'll be perfectly honest with you.
Replace the motherboard.
Why? More than likely a FEW components have probably been damaged, most likely that you can't see. There might even be shorted traces inside the board at this point, or missing traces. So if you try to fix it, more than likely it will go up in smoke again, and possibly even worse this time.
any idea where i can get a motherboard for MSI GT680 (preferably in uk somewhere)

MSI GT680 turbo/battery problem after new motherboard

so basically my dc power jack burnt out some components on the previous motherboard (dunno why the dc power jack is connected with the motherboard as you have to open everything up to get to it, kinda stupid imo) so i got a new one and put it in but the laptop wasn't turning on...long story short i gave it to a professional who said that those little strip connectors that connect so many components were damaged and he had to replace them and the laptop worked fine...today i took it off charge for the first time and after a few mins on battery it shut off suddenly even though battery was 100% and there is no indication by the system that is indeed damaged (i contacted the repair guy and he said its probably a faulty battery) and other then that when i turn turbo on, it comes on for about 5 seconds before automatically turning itself off...i've no idea what the problem could be; any suggestions?
could it be that i need to update my bios? (currently E16F2IMS Ver:1.0M)
thanks in advance
p.s on the msi gt680 support page the new bios and ec only have the non win8 version; can't i flash them to my windows 8?

Quote from: darkhawk on 02-October-13, 20:04:01
It does kind of sound like the battery is bad, or else some of the electronics around the battery are.
As far as the BIOS, the 'Win8' and 'Non-Win8' bio's are only in regards to what OS ORIGINALLY came installed on the system. The GT68X series weren't being sold with Windows 8 pre-installed I believe. I would just install the Non-Win8 BIOS's as it shouldn't make any difference for your system.
well the turbo button issue was cos of the new nvidia drivers, just rolled em back and its ok...and ohhh thanks for that ill try flashing them and see if it makes a difference

MSI X48 Platinum LGA775, CFire,DDR3,GBLan,SATA2,ATX not posting due to ddr3

I cannot get this board to post except once when I had first built it a few days ago. I then moved the pc and added some other usb etc and since then the pc will not post. The post lcd shows ddr3 and freezes. I then reset the bios and it posts and asks f1 to enter the setup or f2 for minimum defaults. If I alter anything in setup it goes back to the ddr 3 error. When using f2 and min defaults it posts but tells me I have a startup file missing. It then restarts to a ddr3 failure again. Can anyone suggest some steeings and a way around this? I appreciate I need to reload vista 64 as the startup file is missing but I can't seem to get to the point of being able to do that.
Thanks
my setup is follows:-
coolermaster haf case, with loads of fans etc
intel core 2 quad 9550
OCZ 4Gb (2x2Gb) DDR3 1333MHz Gold Dual Channel Kit
2 x sata 500mb samsung hdd
1 x sata nec dvd rewriter

OCZ 4Gb (2x2Gb) DDR3 1333MHz Gold Dual Channel Kit
The entire forum is full of similar OCZ DDR3 issues.
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr3_pc3_10666_gold_edition
It's very hard to understand why do they need 1.7V if they're real DDR3-1333 CAS=9.
Probably because they're not ...
Anyway, please post a screenshot of the CPU-Z Memory SPD settings.

MSI GT680 Power Supply Issue = Performance drop

Hello,
I have a MSI GT680.
Recently my computer has developed fps issues with games like minecraft, LoL, dota2, etc. Which were previously very easy to run without any problems.
I believe it is something to do with the power supply, When I hover over the battery icon in the bottom right it says (plugged in, not charging)
and the computer performs the same plugged in as it does unplugged.
Ive tried to fix the (plugged in, not charging) issue but nothing has worked so far.
I just need to know if I have to buy a new charger/battery or if its just a software issue
Thanks for your time

Check which power scheme is selected. Power scheme "balanced" will do nicely in most situations and for testing.
Check if the graphics speed (GPU/graphics memory speed) is the same in the plugged and unplugged state when running the game.
You can do this by running MSI's Afterburner software.

MSI GT680 Laptop BD Combo firmware update ?

I have an MSI GT680 laptop.
It's a quite nice laptop except for one thing.
The Blu-Ray Combo drive takes a long time to recogise blank DVD media and regularly thinks they are audio discs.
The drive is a TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A and other manufacturers have provided firmware updates for this issue.
Does MSI also have a firmware update ?

MSI support have sent me a link to the wrong firmware for my system.
I've told then it's wrong and told them what Blu-Ray combo my notebook came with but there is not response.
My reply to MSI support is:
The download you have provided does not seem to be correct for my notebook.
When I run the executable "DVDRAM_GT40N_ZPO_SL02_1.exe" it gives an error message: "Valid ATAPI device can not be found!!! F/W model is DVDRAM GT40N ."
My notebook is equipped with the Blu-Ray combo drive that TSST WIN INQUIRY 1.03.1 identifies as:
DRIVE: TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A TM00
MODEL NAME : TSSTcorpDVDWBD TS-LB23A
VERSION : TM00
OEM Code : TM
See attached image.
Could you please supply the firmware update for this ?
Is anyone here able to help ?
Not happy with MSI support so far.

MSI GX60 3BE and SSD/HDD (RAID0, height 7/9,5 mm)

Dear Friends
Please answer the following questions, if you don't mind:
1. Will SSD or HDD with a height of 9.5 mm will fit the MSI GX60 3BE, or only 7 mm?
2. Is it possible to use RAID 0 with 2xHDD? Are the drivers are included on the DVD, so I can install Windows 7? As far as I know during the installation of Windows 7 you need to specify the path to the drivers for RAID?
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Best regards.
Sincerely

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
But it is in fact a 2.5" SSD (no typo in my first post), but has only 7.5mm height. ((There will also be some 1.8" ssd models available in the future but I ordered the now available 2.5") ). So such an adapter will not help. For this mentioned SSD-bracket, I have to wait for my x200t being shipped (hope its coming soon) but I didn't see anything like that on any ibm/lenovo accessory page.
Edit: Kind of solved itself today when I got the SSD. It's in fact 7.5mm in height but there is a small 2mm frame mounted around it (which one could unscrew, if necessary). So in the end it's a "normal" 2.5" 9.5mm device
Regards

[Simple question] MSI GT780DX 406US supports SATA III? (for new OCZ ssd)

Question:
I have read the specs and could not find anything who says is compatible with SATA 3.
I want to buy this SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227727
But im not spending this much without sure it will work properly.
Can any1 gimme a light?
ps: whats the better SSD i can buy for 280$?
thank you!!

Unfortunately i have bad news i asked before msi and they said that didn't know about it.and i got some information about chipset from here
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/mainstream-chipsets/mobile-chipset-hm67.html?wapkw=hm67
Serial ATA (SATA) 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s:High-speed storage interface supporting up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate for improved data access. Provides up to six SATA ports with up to two ports supporting 6 Gb/s transfer rates.
As you see unfortunately the two port is for USB 3.0 because on data sheet there is no info about usb 3.0 so that means two sata 3 ports are for usb 3.0
that is bad :( i didn't try that but it seems bad...:(

MSI Z87 MPower Max - Bad board? Failed SATA and B2 problems????

So here's the thing, been having problems with my system, I have a SSD as the boot drive and a RAID 5 array using the intel controller as a Data drive. It started infrequently that occassionally the system would lock up with the HDD LED on solid, Then it became progressively more and more frequently while troubleshooting.
I started out thinking it was the RAID array since after it freezes it would reboot do a verification and find some errors, so I disabled the array and tried running the WD lifeguard on each drive, each one passed a full disk scan. I tried booting the system with 1 or the 3 drives unplugged, still froze so cycled through each drive, froze each time.
Started suspecting the SSD so I cloned the drive onto a mechanical hard drive, still froze.
Unplugged the entire array and just ran the HDD alone..... didn't freeze as frequently but would still freeze.
Swapped out the RAM with good ram... Still froze.
Swapped power supplies with a good supply... Still froze.
Removed all the components except the boot drive, the RAM and the CPU..... stopped freeze up completely, instead I would get microstutters where the system would freeze for .25 to .5 seconds then continue, could tell if you played a audio stream it would keep repeating (Even a buffered stream) did a latency test and interupts were flying like mad and taking a long time to process, with no specific driver or process assigned.
Plugged the RAID array back in and it was working with the microstuttering, while trying to backup data off the array it froze again.
Rebooted the system, bios would die at B2
unplugged the RAID drives, cleared the cmos the system would boot.
Plug back in the raid drives , clear the cmos and it dies at B2.
Took out a hardware RAID controller (LSI 9260) and connected the drives up to that, dies at B2
unplug the controller... Bios boots
Plug in the controller with no drives attached, dies at B2.
Take the controller out, bios boots.
Sometimes the system gets to A2 and the screen shows snowy static
What is also strange is this occurs on both bios's.... the primary bios which I have flashed to 1.5 and the backup bios which I had left at 1.1 as a fail safe and never flashed.
Thoughts?

Hi
Almost same story happened to me.
I have now 2 pieces of Z87 MPOWER boards and both have the same issues.
1. Board came with BIOS 1.5. I left BIOS B to 1.5 and flashed BIOS A to 1.7 with MFLASH method. I installed W8.1 on my onto my SAMSUNG SSD and the PC was working for 2 or 3 days.
Then I noticed strange behavior while booting. The SSD was not found sometimes. I hit F11 and the list was full of USB pen drive entries. Then I entered the BIOS and I have seen only two menu entries: Security and one more I don't remember. Inside of the menu items it was empty or some chinese letters. So I thought the Bios was currupted. Due to missing MFLASH menu I couldn't flash the bios via MFLASH, so I had to study the German MSI Forum. Then I prepared the USB pendrive with ABUDE method and I brought back BIOS A alive. Fine, I thought: It can happen but it shouldn't. But the boot problems came back....
2. The second board came and had BIOS 1.4 installed and I didn't touch board #1 anymore . So I flashed BIOS A again to 1.7 and you know already what's coming up. Totally the same story which I had with board #1.
I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all with booting.
After a while I noticed some BSODs because of Killer EThernet driver (bwcW8x64.sys). I had so serious problems with that driver. The problem is: If the driver fails, you are even unable to go to the internet and look for a new driver, because your ethernet is dead. Very funny, but not for me. I got the drivers from antother PC and I tried to install them. During installation it was fine. The card was working, but I was forced to do a reboot. After the reboot, the ethernet card was disabled because windows coudn't load the driver. OK, that's a windows issue or a poor driver. I tried several times. No chance to get ethernet back alive. Finally I disabled the Killer Ethernetboad and plugged my former Intel Gigabit ET Dual Port Sever Adapter in. I thought, now I get rid of all the problems. Ha ha...
First was everything fine. Then the PC didn't want to boot anymore: BIOS message --> B2.
I hit del key: "Entering setup" message came up. Nothing more. Several times. Dead.
I plugged out the Intel ethernetboard. Bios came up. I put the ethernet board to another PCI slot. 2 days of working. later on, same story.
Then I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all.
So what's up here with my 2 MPOWER boards, showing the same issues with BIOS 1.7? What I did wrong?
- MFLASH? May be. But I don't use it anymore. I use the MSIHQ USB Flashing Tool from this forum now which was also spread in the German forum.
- I never flashed BIOS beta versions, I always red articals how to flash and I think I did nothing wrong here.
- Overclocking? No. Unfortunatelly I bought an Intel i4770 CPU without K. Funny. So no overclock issues at all.
- Memory? I have fully equipped 32GB (G.Skill F3-2400C10Q-32GTX) and did the MEM86+ test successfully.
Day before yesterday I flashed BIOS 1.6 to BIOS A. All looks good until now. The intel ethernet board behaves well. No B2 messages.
I will further comment as soon there is anything new.
Do we have some issues with BIOS 1.7? I strongly belief....
I have seen BIOS V1.81 beta is out. But where is V1.8 official release? Anyway, I am tired of testing. If I do not have issues with 1.6 then I will use it.
Unfortunately the MSI Z87 MPOWER board is not yet widely spread. Otherwise we would have more user experiences.
Ok, any comments are highly appreciate it.
@ Corellon: Sometime I got A2 messages with black screen with BIOS V1.7
Which bios version had you installed when you experienced severe problems?
I guess V1.5 & V1.6 are save. 1.7 has got problems.

Msi k9n with 2 sata disc in strip and a plextor sata burner connected

can all msi k9n motherboards run with 2 sata disc in astripe and a plextor sata dvd burner connected to the sata connectors ?
I think on following msi boards :
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=730
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=729
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=731

A onboard satacontroller until now controls a pair of sata ports on NF4 and older.
So with 4 ports native , there is two controllers aka' you enable raid pr. controller as in sata1/2 , sata 3/4 .
NF570 looks different from NF4 (atleast in the MSI K9N bios) in that way that you can include pr port eg.
SATA0 Primary =Raid Enabled - SATA0 Secondary=Raid Enabled - SATA1 Primary=Raid Enabled - SATA1 Secondary=Disabled , and so on .
Why must you absolutely have sata burner , it's nothing gained over a IDE type in the matter of speed .
Even 16X DVD doesn't utilize 33MB/s that Ultra DMA2 is currently at for IDE burners .
16X DVD utilize 21MB/s , 54X CDR utilize 8MB/s , so no one needs burners at a sata controller.
But anyway , a silicon Image or a Promise PCI controller board should work .
CDR / DVDR read&write speed:

Model and brand name of the hdd and msata provided with msi gs70 stealth 077

i would like to know which brand and model is the hdd and msata is used in the msi gs70 stealth 077 series laptop.
also can i add one more msata myself after buying the laptop?

just a note hchg, apperently i think msi uses Hitachi and TOSHIBA drives in all of their GS70 so it shouldn't depend up on country since Hitachi apperently is a quality drive so since your paying hige price for laptop which means you get quality hard disk it's not like msi would put WD drive or SEAGATE drive in any of their MSI models at such price.

Any known problems: MSI K8N SLI Platinum + seagate 7200.9 sata2 hdd?

Hi all.
I planning to buy Seagate sataII 7200.9 250GB drive (model: ST3250824AS) very soon (finally they are in stock in my city), but first i want to know is there any incompatibility issues or other problems with such combination - MSI K8N SLI Platinum + seagate 7200.9 series hdd.
I don't have any experience with sata2 drives yet. Currently i'm using seagate 7200.7 120GB IDE hdd.
I don't plan use RAID or use that new 7200.9 drive in combination with current 7200.7 drive (will use current hdd in other pc).
Any tips/experience would be great.

Seagate SATA II 7200.9 250GB drive (model: ST3250824AS) has both 3 G/bps speed and NCQ (Native Command Queuing) most all MB’s with the nVidia Chipsets using the nForce4 chip will have problems. If they are not using RAID and you reduce the speed to 1.5 G/bps with a single drive you maybe able to get it to work. Personally, I know the MS-7125 and MS-7220 both will not run RAID with those to motherboards.
I have been battling with MSI and ASUS over this problem sense November and they have not come up with a fix. Problem involved BIOS and RAID Controller Driver for the chipset. Most MSI motherboards latest BIOS have fixed the BIOS half of the problem. There is an unreleased 32-bit driver for Windows, but nothing for Windows XP 64.
