MSI GT683 temperatures

Hey there,
According to the MSI official website page for the MSI GTI383DX, I should have:
Quote
"Exclusive Cooler Boost Technology
Only one finger!! Exclusive Cooler Boost technology provides powerful cooling capabilities and receives real-time notification of the GT683DX's core temperature variations and fan speed. "
I tried searching my computer, the laptop download files on the MSI website and the internet, but I cant find an answer to where I might actually do this.
So this seems like a rather silly question to post here, but can any one direct me to the widget/software/program or download that allows me to check my laptop's temperatures?
Thanks

Thank you. I know that this sensor activates the extra cooling boost, but I was more interested in the actual temperatures.
Since my first post was apparently unclear on this, I will rephrase: is there any way for me, using the tools and software that MSI creates, to actually check the temperatures?

[MSI-GT683 R] Won't Work Properly

I have this problem in my Laptop MSI GT683 R It won't turn on beyond the Initial Start up and automatically restarts after a while(Doesn't read the windows screen) anyone knows how to fix this? I can't even use Del or F3 or Alt F10 :/, If someone does please help

You meant the laptop cannot boot up properly and will reboot again but cannot go beyond the windows welcome screen?
If there is new device attached to your laptop, Maybe a new SSD or memoory, remove it.
If there are new update or drivers installed recently, remove it and roll back to the original version when you can log on windows. Or go to save mode to delete them.

MSI GT683 questions?

Hello all, I recently purchased my first gaming laptop the MSI GT683, here are my specs:
CPU Intel® Core™ i5-2430M Processor (2.40 GHz)
- OS Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium (MSI recommends upgrade to Genuine Windows® 7 Professional)
- Chipset Intel HM67
- 8GB Memory DDR3 1333 MHz ,Slot : 4
- LCD Size 15.6" LED 1366x768 resolution
- Graphics nVidia GeForce GTX 560M
- Graphics VRAM 1.5GB GDDR5
- HDD: 750GB HDD (7200rpm)
Ok so I read the sticky, and found some useful information.
My questions are, and please cut me some slack, as I'm not a complete air head with laptops and their insides but am not too clued up on them.
1. When i get my laptop, whats the first thing i should look to be doing? Updating drivers, firmware?
2. Also from the sticky i found that MSI have a downloads page with a "Live update 5" which scans your computer for out of date drivers which is very helpful for me, my question is does this scan my laptop for all drivers like, GPU, CPU and others?
3. Should i look to buy a cooling pad? As I've read a few posts saying it can get a tad hot.
4. I also read that for the GTX560m to get full performace it needs a 500W power supply, but am is this for actual PC's? As with this laptop i am provided with an AC Adapter 180W. Should i look to be buying a more powerful one or is this not possible?
Honestly, any help would be massively appreciated, Thanks.

Your laptop will come preinstalled with Windows and all required drivers.

Don't use LiveUpdate. If you need to update any drivers, just download them manually. Drivers don't go 'out-of-date' like fresh food. If everything works fine as it is, then you don't really need to update anything.

That's your choice. As long as you keep your notebook clean and free from dust, it should operate within normal parameters.

You're looking at requirements for desktop GPUs. Your notebooks AC adapter will be sufficient, you won't gain anything from replacing it.

MSI GT683 Problem Installing Graphic Drivers

Hi to all, I need help about my laptop MSI GT683...I have bought a graphic card because my is broken, that is Nvidia GTX560M but I have a problem: when I install Windows and I try to install the driver the screen became multicolor and I can't do anything else. I seen that when the site of the nvidia auto reconizes the graphic card the model showned is Nvidia GTX560 SE...Another problem is that in the bios the model of the notebook is GT680R and I don't know why...can you help me?

What means "multicolor"? Do you have any picture of this symptom you described?
The model name in the BIOS depends on the graphic card you installed. Some models re-use the same barebone of the older models and their difference is only the graphic card, so MSI may only provide one version of BIOS but will automatically detect the graphic card to change the model name in the BIOS.
I'm not sure what's the problem you are facing but you can ask for help and contact local authorized service points.

MSI GT683 R freezing

Hello, i have had my MSI gt683 R for 6 months, and a couple of days ago it freezed when i was downloading a video. It was 1 hour after i started using the computer that morning.
Then the same day, i was browsing some pages with firefox and again it freezed. And this morning again while i was doing nothing, i switched on the computer, went to take a shower and when i was back it was freezed again.
I usually play 1-2 hours day, and the freezing started after i was 1 week without using the computer as i was on a trip. Any ideas? or i should just contact the shop to get a new one?

Quote from: gord96 on 14-February-12, 02:30:25
My GT683 just started doing that this week. And as you said, it happens when I am doing simple things like checking email or browsing the web. Great laptop, this is the first issue I have had with it since I got it 4 months ago.
Ditto, and with the GT683r discontinued as well as little in the way of software updates I'm kind of feeling abandoned. As well as the above now my NVidia 560m is starting to act weird

Regarding Upgrading MSI GT683 Laptop

Hi,
I purchased MSI GT683 in November 2011.
Now thinking to upgrade this laptop by adding a SSD to it and installing Windows 7 in it.
But now the problem is, i don't know whether it is possible to add SSD & install Win 7 in it because MSI didn't provide any OS DVD and only have recovery partition in my HDD. So, even if i can add a SSD it is not possible to install Windows 7 in it.
System Configuration:
Intel Core i7 2670QM processor 2.2GHz
GeForce GTX 560M 1.5GB GDDR5
15.6" FHD, Anti-Glare (1920*1080)
640 GB HDD
8GB of DDR3 RAM
Super Multi-DVD Drive
9-cell battery
Win7 Home Premium
Could you please help me how to add a SSD in this laptop & install OS in it.
Regards,
Manoj

With regards to installing Windows 7, see advice in this FAQ:

MSI GT683 -Graphics problem = computer fried several times

hello..
first i would like to say sorry for my bad english.
i brought a MSI GT683 for little over 2 years ago because i wanted to play D3. the first 3-4 months i was playing battlefield3 because d3 was not release yet and the laptop was working with no problems. when i startet playing diablo3 i startet to experience hard FPS drop. from runing 100+ FPS it would drop to 5 fps for 10 secs every minute. after 2 weeks the laptop just shut down and i sent it to repair shop. they told me the grapiccard was fried. so after 1 month i got it back and began playing D3 and it worked fine for 2 weeks until it startet FPS drops again and 2 weeks later the laptop shut down again and again i sent it to the repair shop. and they told me the grapiccard and memory was fried. when i got it back 1 month later i decided to not play diablo3 again (what actually was the reason i brought the laptop) after the insurance ran out i fear to play games with average grapic
i have never had an MSI before this. but i used so much money on this laptop so its hard for me to see my little brothers 6-7 year old computer runs better than my expensive laptop.. this expercience with MSI gaming laptops has really disapointed me because my friends said i should buy an MSI because they where build for gaming.. i feel i have paied 1500 euros to play league of legends
does anyone with the same laptop (MSI GT683) have had any problems like that ?
Regards
Daniel
a dissapointed gamer :(

If you have reason to believe that the repair center did not repair or diagnose the laptop properly, then you have the full right to claim the repair under warranty even when Warranty is expired, up to 6 years after Purchase in Europe. The issue however is, that 6 months after purchase the burden of proof lies with the buyer.
In other words, if you can proof that the problem with your laptop is not caused by you(mishandling, user error, etc) then the retailer has to take it in for repair under warranty.
So the question is, have you been using the laptop on surfaces that it is not intended for? IN example, are you using the laptop on your bed, your lap etc while its venting and heating ports are closed off? Thus not allowing any fresh air to come in?
Have you meddled with the fan speeds of the laptop?
Edit : Take in mind though that this EU directive is very hard to proof and stores, unless you literally press them with a copy of said directive, will try to get out of it and even if you show them directive they may still opt to go with the countries sales of goods act.
edit 2 : The directive in question is 1999/44/EC.

MSI GT683 Cooling - Thermal Pads and Mod

Hi,
I have a MSi GT683 notbook. Sometime ago i upgraded the GPU (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=168610) and because of that i started to have some problems that turned out to be caused by the power supply not being strong enough (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172580).
Now i bought a new power supply but i am afraid that it will get my temps too high, so i want to do a maintenance of the notebooks cooling (change thermal paste and thermal pads) and maybe mod it a little bit.
But i have some doubts that i need some help with.
First, what thermal pad thickness should i use on the GPU? I changed the GPU from a 560M to a 675M and bought the appropriate heat sink.
Second, can i cut a hole in the underside of the notebook so that the cooling fan can get more air?
This is where i am thinking of cutting the hole:
It will be a small hole, that i will cover with a mesh to keep dust out, directly above the fan.
And i am going to buy this notebook cooler (http://www.coolermaster.com/mobile/notepal-series/notepal-u-stand/) which i probably going to mod changing and adding more powerful and quieter fans.
What do you guys think?

actually cutting a hole under there is useless w.o cooling pad but if you can build up or find a good cooling pad which directly push cool air thru that hole then it makes some changes.... i have went thru lots of forums, sites and any other informative places about modding notebook cooler and found out that best cooling method is that little bit alluminum + cooling pad + remove the whole lower case will give you 50-60C when your on full load.... so i tested out whichever method i have read and heard... adding alluminum on the both thermal parts on gpu and cpu w.o removing lower case and putting cooling pad under it gave me higher temp than normal... so i remove the lower case and put it on cooling pad 10 - 15C decrease than normal but i dont use my nb as station so its not for me... then i removed alluminum blocks and put the lower case back and put on a cooling pad gave me 5-6C lower temp... then i drilled some holes where you are planning to cut holes with 0.3 and put it on cooling pad then i got 9-13C lower temp normal and i tested it w.o cooling pad then i got exactly same temp as before cutting hole on the lower case... so i think that cutting hole under fan makes less air circulate is bias understanding and for my case its proven for me... so i am advising you to cut a hole there but not a big one use 0.3 drill that will give you some manufacture like clean cuts...
also refer to this fix http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/674825-improving-p170em-7970m-gpu-cooling-performance-foiled.html
i know msi fan is not loose as clevo but it helped me lower some 2 3C

PLz help! loosing internet connection reapeatedly, I have a msi GT683 DXR

Hi everyone!

Doesnt matter if Im close to the router or far from it. have problems when trying to skype for example. Have never been able to make a skype call without connection problems. I get connection problems and get disconnected alot. Have 4 different computers both laptops and desktops/stationary working just fine. I have only had it for about two months, and havent installed much more than what comes with it. Drivers are updated using the MSI live update 5.
Even have the problem when connecting the network cable directly. Have a Net gear CG3100 router. Using encryption WPA2 AES. Anybody has any ideas? Or do you think its a warranty issue?
Many thanks!!

MSI GT683 graphics card lagging GTX 560M

Okay, so i bought my GT683 back at July 2012.
a month ago, my laptop started having BSOD, i went to the MSI store and have them check my laptop, and they fixed it, they said that the RAM was causing the BSOD and they put in new RAM.
When i got my laptop back, the graphics card started to show bad performance.
Even NBA2k13 runs very badly, which is a game that should be running real smooth on my specs.
I even lag on GTA San Andreas.
What do you guys think is the problem? You guys think i need to go get my laptop and bring it to the MSI store again?
Thanks
and oh yeah, when i click on the Turbo, it doesn't light up too, even though i installed the updated driver for it..

[VIA] MSI KT880 - Temperature

My MSI KT880 is showing the temperature (BIOS) of Semprom 2600+ 51C idle. It's OK?

Quote from: Grayone on 12-June-05, 10:31:07
Hi
51c is a little on the high side. It should be closer to 40c. Do you have any case fans? Is the computer inside a desk? Good airflow around and through a computer case is critical for cooling. How old is the processor install?
- Do you have any case fans?
- Yes, front 02 x AVC 80x25, rear 01 AVC 92x25, power supply 01 12x25
- Is the computer inside a desk?
- No
- How old is the processor install?
- About 06 m
My heatsink is a ThermalTake Silent Boost, and using Ceramique thermal paste. My old Palomino 1800+ was 44C in the same configuration!

MSI 6990 Temperature & Afterburner.

Hi.
I recently got a MSI HD 6990 as a replacement for my old XFX 5970 which was faulty & have some questions I was hoping someone could help me with.
First of all does anyone know how hot this card should run? 5mins on Metro 2033 & Afterburner said temperature was 99!
Secondly I have Afterburner set to auto for fan control but should I also have user define on or off?
And finally a minor issue why is it so loud?! Far louder than 5970 even when 5970 was running Crysis all day.
Any help much appreciated.
My System:
Intel i7 920 Overclocked to 3.8Ghz
6GB Corsair Dominator Memory
1000Watt PSU
1TB Samsung Spinpoint

Hi there,
Good card, I got one myself and am running it happily with a supper clocked EVGA Nvidia 530 for Phys X.
I assume you're a gamer and over clocker yourself and you have a Power Supply that can easily power the 400 + watt the card will pull at full load (1000+ Watt PSU ) so in reply to your questions . . .
First by default the card doer run hot and even with no over clocking and fan on full with skyrim you can push the temp to 98 degrees Celsius. Its normal for that card and the card is built to handle it but that's not good because even though the chip can handle 90+ degrees the problem is the stuff it's made from wears out quickly at that temp and this causes the card to have a sort lifespan.
I myself did the card a huge favor by getting a after market cooling solution but I always tell people to always test a vga card before fitting a cooler yourself because it can void the warranty tacking off the stock cooler.
You already know the card works 100% so you can go and get a after market cooler.
I myself am not a fan of the liquid cooling thing, it's expensive and a lot can go wrong.
Do yourself a big favor and get a ‘Accelero Twin Turbo 6990’ by arctic. It's expensive but it really works.
MSI really disappointed me by going with the normal Radeon fan on this card it doesn't work.
Just by fitting my card with a Accelero Twin Turbo 6990 I dropped the temp from 98+ to 71 at high load and I overclocked the card 27% and its only running at 81 max on my system.
So by getting a very good after market cooler I extended the life of my card and got an extra 27% power out of it.
And that's way the very expensive ‘Accelero Twin Turbo 6990’ is worth it.
I hope the info helps and have a great day.

MSI GT683 vs MSI GX600: USB noise and its effects on touchscreen devices

Hello friends,
I would like to share my findings regarding USB charging noise on both GT683 and GX600.
The GT683 is a powerhouse if I ever saw one and using and application called i-charger, it can charge an iPad and eliminate the "Not Charging" problem. But there's a problem to it. Charger Noise.
Plugging and iPod Touch Fourth Gen in of the USB ports degrades the accuracy of the touch screen. Plugging a PS Vita in any of the ports results in completely unresponsive touchscreen. PS Vita needs to have a responsive touch screen to copy multimedia files from a PC to the Vita.
I was able to over come this by using a 10 port USB hub (which requires power), unplugged the power adapter, plugged in a notebook cooler, a battery than can be charged using a USB and a bluetooth receiver for my keyboard and mouse. The reason I did this is to remove excess noise by consuming excess microAmps.
I never... ever once encountered this with my MSI GX600. I plugged in my iPod and PS Vita in my aging laptop but it still worked. That damn notebook is hard to put down and I still keep it. Never thought that MSI would build usb ports on new laptops in such a poor and cheap condition.
I really don't know if there are long term effects on this but I highly recommend not to charge any of your devices on your laptop. Go buy an expensive branded charger if possible.
Here are some resources I found regarding charger noise:
