MSI GT683R Turbo mode???

Hi I just got a msi gt 683r all the drivers are installed and all the lights of the buttons are working but the turbo doesnt seem to make any difference in frames or performance in any game,i checked through fraps but got no fps increase in any game,the benchmark that came with the notebook however shows only a difference of 18 points with the trubo mode on and no frames difference. Is there a problem with my notebook???

check CPU Freq. [when its underload] with CPU-Z
Well i tried MSI afterburner along with intel turbo boost technology,i cud not find the frequency in cpu-z,however i noticed that in msi after burner while playing the game (bf3) it gave me a clock of (shader clock 1550) and (core clock 770) when i press the turbo it goes to 1627 and 813 respectively so i guess it is overclocking however the cpu remains constant at 2.60GHz so after these results i think everything is fine....I was expecting to get a drastic change while overclockingby TDE. I assume that the TDE pushes the vga card to its maximum limit,while without TDE enabled the game uses as much resource it wants to use...am I right?
I guess there is nothing to worry about??

MSI GX623 - Turbo mode in Windows Seven 64 bit

Hello everybody,
I have long struggled with "Turbo" on the GX623 laptop in 64bit system.
Finally I did the following:
1st I installed the Windows 7 64bit professional
2nd I downloaded:
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloadfile&dno=11356&type=utility
3rd install it as administrator
4th I restart
5th I set SCM to run with administrator rights
BIOS 1.14
TADAAA
before: - max 2000 MHz (use -- right click and "save image as" for full view)
after: - max 2300 MHz (use -- right click and "save image as" for full view)
--I made your images clickable

Something is wrong then, aint it?
The CPU runs at 2.26 at default, was it never that high before?
My laptop has installed Intel Core2Duo 7350 P http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=36750
Intel P7350, according to the default frequency of 2GHz,
or not?
then after installing the SCM and press the turbo may have about 2.3 GHZ
right?

MSI GT780DX P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds

Hello ! In my MSI GT780DX (I5, gtx570m 1.5GB, Windows 7 x64 pro, charger ON) P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds (aimation from s-bar)
Everything work fine, until install the new driver for GPU from nvidia, v320, and give me problem whit P1 mode.
I'm uninstall the driver, and instal old, no fix, I'm uninstall all driver MSI (nvidia overclok tool, s-bar, afterburner, nvidia drivers) ,and install it again, no fix problem, still P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds ;/
curiosity:
For more GPU clok (700MHZ)and memory (1700), I run "nvidia inspector",only open "show overcloking",and "Driver profile" , nothing change ! Then run afterburner , and set gpu clok to 700Mhz, memory clok 1700, aply, and in game it's run gpu to 700Mhz, no pressing P1 button !!
But I want to press only P1 button for more gpu clok...
sorry for bad english.

For anyone that needs help setting the overclock tool to run at startup, just set a task to run the tool with admin priveleges at user login with the task scheduler.
Can confirm this works for me, I can now use my turbo button and change brightness without SCM crashing on the latest Nvidia drivers (331.65).

Tweaking Turbo Mode

I've been reading through all these threads trying to come to grips with all the new features available in the Z77A-GD65 BIOS because I haven't overclocked in several years. In that time I'm afraid I've lost what little mojo I had in that regard. I originally wanted to just overclock all 4 cores manually and leave it at that since I know the CPU I have can handle 4.8GHz very easily. (I had it on my P67A-GD65 for about 2 years at 4.8 with no problems)
Sure...I could take the time to research each of these settings on my system, but I would prefer not to burn up my new motherboard and CPU.
As I said previously, I'd just manually overclock my CPU to the highest level possible and leave it there, but when I got this Z77A-GD65 this "Turbo mode" thing has me intrigued...
It seems to be enabled on my board and my CPU goes as high as 3.8GHz when running Unengine Valley.
As I was reading through one of the other threads I saw Froggy mention the Turbo method of overclocking. Can someone educate me on how to set that up on the Z77A-GD65?
Currently, Turbo increases my clockspeed to 3.8GHz, but no higher even when I set the CPU Multiplier to 40 in BIOS.
I used to run this 2600K CPU on my P67A-GD65 and I know for a fact it will do 4.8GHz at 1.31v and never see north of 75°C under stress testing (Intel Burn Test, High Stress Mode, 30 passes)
I would prefer to use Turbo Mode on this board instead of a manual overclock, but I am unsure what needs to be changed in BIOS.
If someone would be kind enough to explain how to change my turbo modes to the following, I'd appreciate it.
1 Core - 4.6GHz
2 Core - 4.5GHz
3 Core - 4.5GHz
4 Core - 4.5GHz
I saw one of Froggy's posts where he states the following:
Quote
For PLL, I use 1.82-1.84v's range. I/O 1.07v's. SA 0.965-0.970v's range. The industry recommended maximum for the CPU V. on an everyday machine is not to exceed 1.400v's. Do not go by the Intel maximum, as that is the 'absolute' maximum. Between 1.400v's and 1.52v's, you can expect degradation. Difficult to predict the severity as each Intel CPU is somewhat unique in that regard. CPU temperature, try to keep it around low 70C's or less under full load.
but I don't knwo what half the acronyms mean since I haven't overclocked in so long.
Enable PLL Overvolting (1.82v-1.84v) I understand
I/O - ???
SA - ???
CPU V - 1.32v should be way more than enough for my cpu based on what it used to be set to in my P67A-GD65
I know this CPU can handle the speed increase, I just need some assistance getting there since there are about a gazillion more features in this BIOS than there were in my P67A.
One caveat: I do not use Control Center. I have never had any luck whatsoever with that program and it has, in fact, caused me more headaches than it has cured.
I have tools like CPUZ, GPUZ, Core Temp, and Corsair Link for my monitoring needs.

Using the Turbo method, you usually leave all voltages and the cpu multiplier at "auto".
The Turbo Multiplier setting are in CPU Features
See examples here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
Thanks for the quick response!
If I understand your screenshots (I'm at work not in front of my gaming box) I should make the following changes in my BIOS
Adjust CPU Ratio - Auto
Adjust CPU Ratio in OS – Disabled
Internal PLL Overvoltage – Enabled
EIST – Enabled
Turbo Boost – Enabled
Enhanced Turbo – Disabled
OC Genie Function – By Onboard Button
My OC Genie – Disabled
DRAM Frequency – DDR3 2133MHz (Note to Self: Test your RAM to see if it will run at [email protected]) (It's Kingston HyperX Beast 2400MHz spec'd to run at 1.6 but it's at 1.55v in BIOS at 1333MHz. I could leave it there if needed)
Extreme Memory Profile – Disabled
DRAM Timing – Link
VDroop – +75% or +87.5% or +100% (Depending on my particular CPU)
Digital Compensation Level – High
CPU Core OCP Expander – Default
Core Switching Freq – Auto
CPU Core Voltage – auto
CPU I/O Voltage – Auto
DRAM Voltage – 1.55-1.57 at MOST)
System Agent Voltage (Found what SA means! lol) – Auto
Active Processor Cores – All
Limit CPUID Max – Disabled
Execute Disable Bit – Enabled
Power Technology - Custom
C1E Support – Enabled (Disabled on XMAD’s screenshot by accident)
Overspeed Protection – Disabled
Intel C State – Enabled

SDPM – 255
PPCL – 1024
SPCL – 32
PPTPL – 0
SPTPL – 0
1 through 4 core Ratio Limit – 46,45,45,45 (I think these settings are for the Turbo's max setting so set to 4.5GHz for 4 cores, and 4.6 for one)

MSI Fast - Turbo - Ultra RAM settings on KT6V

hi, I have a KT6V mobo with 1 bank Twinmos 512MB ram.
I am trying to have the best RAM performance changing bios setting.
I have a strange result:
Ultra mode + cas 2,5 give me best results than Turbo mode + cas 2. ( Ultra mode + cas 2 crash )
What MSI Ultra mode does to give bigger results of cas 2 ? Does it increment the RAM BUS ?
What are the best suggestions ?
Thanks

GX660 laptop Bluetooth and Turbo Mode issues

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to Windows 8 64 bit and have got everything working perfectly except for my bluetooth facilities. Have tried using the latest Win 7 ones from the MSI website but no joy. They install, and it seems in Services that bluetooth is running but am unable to transfer any files to or from the laptop and it doesn't broadcast that a bluetooth signal is available when I try and pair it with my mobile phone.
The other issue I have is the facilites such as Turbo Mode don't work. When the lightup keys are pressed nothing happens. Have tried installing the System Control drivers from the MSI website for Win 7 but no joy again.
Would be grateful to any solution to these issues as I have in the meantime had to revert back to Win 7

Your notebook is not verified to be upgradeable with Win8 by MSI (http://event.msi.com/2012/windows8/index.html). Therefor MSI doesn't provide drivers or any Win 8 support for that model.
For Bluetooth it misses a Radio switch driver which is crucial for Bluetooth to work in Win8 while the rest of your problems are related to a lacking SCM version for Win8 and your notebook model.

MSI GT683r Massive fps drop (CPU overheating)

System Information:
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT683.html
OS: Windows 7
Brand: MSI GT683R-242
CPU: intel quad core i7-2630QM @ 2.00 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 560M 1.5 GB GDDR5
RAM: DDRIII 16GB(4GB*4)
HDD: 1TB (500GB*2 RAID 0)7200 RPM
Hello, I'm having a lot of problems with my cpu temperature being high especially when gaming and this results in getting intermittent FPS drops when gaming. My fps when gaming drops to about 10fps (this doesn't necessarily happen when I'm in a particular FPS intensive condition either, could happen when I'm just walking around in the world). I've noticed my CPU temperature is close to 90 degrees when this occurs (I realize it's due to the core temperature being too high). It shouldn't matter what game since I should not get these FPS problems with a laptop like this but the game I play is a MMORPG called Rift.
After playing Rift for about 1 hour and a half mainly in pvp battlegrounds (15 players per team in the battleground so a total of 30 players), my core temp for my cpu reach the high 80 degrees and I’ve received 4-5 massive fps drops while playing during this time. I was able to screenshot my FPS during the FPS drops and I obtained a few screenshots while playing in game. See screenshots below.
NOTE1: CPU core Temperature is shown in the upper right of the screenshots, the running processes from the task manager is also shown in most of these screenshots.
NOTE2: I play with the native resolution of my laptop 1920 x 1080. I normally play windowed full screen but I include the CPU core temperatures & Task Manager so it wasn't window full screen. Also, I did not have the Turbo and the Nvidia Overclock Tool activated but I've tried both in the past and have not noticed a noticeable difference in my FPS drops while using them. (I also get FPS drops while using the Turbo and Nvidia Overclock Tool).
NOTE3: I play the game with medium settings to try to alleviate this FPS problem but I've had FPS problems still happens even in low settings.
After restarting my computer my idle temperature on all my 4 cores according to core temperature sits around 45 degrees (fluctuation + / - 2 to 3 degrees) with practically no processes running (close to 100k memory in the task manager processes).
When loading up Rift and being IDLE in town my cpu temperature fluctuates between 50 and 61 degrees. CPU usage in task manager fluctuates between 10-16%.
My Normal FPS in a combat environment playing Rift (fluctuates a little obviously but it's usually in the 25 FPS range), FPS can be seen on the bottom right of the Rift client (performance area)
FPS drop result after CPU temp overheating, FPS can be seen on the bottom right of the Rift client (performance area). The CPU temperature was in the high 80's before this FPS drop.
CPU temperatures while idling in town after a battleground (I also get FPS drops in town and dungeons as well but usually not as frequent as I do in a battleground or in Raids)
CPU temperatures while killing a boss in a raid, there were probably about 100 players in the environment, I had a huge FPS drop just after taking this screenshot
I also took a Screenshot of my core temp about an hour after I stopped playing, My CPU temperature was constantly fluctuating between the low 60's to high 70's when my computer only had a few processes running.
I've looked around for a solution for this problem but I can't seem to find one. I haven't physically opened my laptop to check if there's an issue inside but I've only started having this FPS problem since about 2 months. I had no FPS problems until recently.
Not sure if it matters or not but my NVIDA driver version is 296.10. I've tried reverting to the previous driver to see if this latest driver update was the problem but it didn't change anything. Other things I've tried is changing some settings in the NVIDIA control pannel but this has not worked either. I've even tried playing my game on the lowest settings and still had intermittent FPS drops. I've browsed through the forums and some people have suggested flashing the BIOS but I'm a bit skeptical to do that. I also attempted to call MSI customer support and left a message but they have not returned my call yet. Anyone got any suggestions to fix this problem?

The simple solution is to open the bottom and blow out the air through the center of the fan with canned air. The vents arent plugged but the fan itself probably looks like a fuzzy mop. Shoudl fix your problem and will not void your warranty.
The ideal solution is to pop the heatsyncs of the CPU and GPU, replace whatever crap their using with artic silver and appreciate a refined machine. Not only will you not have overheats but your machine will use its fan less and thus be quieter. This WILL void your warranty... but its worth it. Just dont do it unless you are savy.
Other then that. Lifting the laptop off the ground is ESSENTIAL. Look at the bottom. It has vents. Ask yourself.. "Self.. what could these vents possibly be for?" Self will hopefully reply "Well Self, I would say they are there for cooling." "SO self these vents have a purpose???" "Yes, self, they do. Their purpose is cooling and airflow" "Well then why do we not have airspace allowing air to actually get into these vents?" "Because self.. we like it flat.... Like a tire thats soon to be on fire..." Hopefully after that your enlightened self will go get a stand. If you want the lowest profile you can get you need a thin cooler system, if you dont care about that just buy a stand that permits airspace and flow. I mean your running an advanced gaming rig. In a normal box these components may have 4+ fans... Your laptop has one. Help it out.
The good news is perhaps cooking your cpu will have a burn in effect and make it clock to higher speeds... However I doubt it. Chances are you are cooking everything from said chip to your HDs and you should stop, because that MIGHT void your warranty.

Boot freeze with 6600gt on k8t800 neo fis2r in turbo mode

Hi, thought i would seek a little advice before i decide to just build a new system and burn this one where it stands,
when i first built my PC i had;
amd athlon 64 3000+
msi k8t neo-fis2r mobo
1gb ddr 400 ram
2 x 160gb hdd
dvd & dvd-rw
550w psu
then the part i regreted most nvidia fx 5200 128mb agp.
had everything setup nicely and had my bios set on turbo mode - seemed to make a noticable difference. then i decided to stop being cheap and bought a new gfx card, sparkle 6600gt 128mb agp 8x and at the same time i got a new case which has a 350w - 450w max PSU (arctic cooling Silentium T1). ever since that i cant enable turbo mode in my bios, otherwise it just does memory test and stops without detecting devices. i press del to enter bios setup but it just changes the del: bios to go> bios and does nothing else. so i have to clear cmos and start again
so my instict is either telling me
a) gfx card stopping motherboard running in turbo
b) psu too puny
which of these would it be likely to be if anyone can help me out. ive rolled my bios back to v1.0 which was used when the turbo mode was fine and the problem is still persisting and ive been through every version inbetween back upto 2.2. the system works fine in fast mode, i would just prefer turbo mode because it did make a significant difference for playing games, boot time, movie editing etc.
thanks for any help,
Phyre

It may well be the Sparkle Vid Card. I have heard a ton of complains of late about them. I am not that familiar with those particular cards or even the brand. You may want to do some checking around... Guru3d may be a great place to start as graphics cards are their primary discussion topics. Also use Google to see what others are saying about them.
I agree that the 5299's are pretty lame these days for gaming. It's a great card if your primary concern is productivity but todays games can use it but mostly at low res with few features or levels of detail without a huge hit in frame rates.

Usb & msi k7t turbo

Hi,
I have not seen this problem before....
Did you install extra USB controllers or are we talking about the on-board controllers???

MSI K7T Turbo Limited Ed. + XP1700+

Hi
I would like to know if my mainboard (MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition on KT133A) supports XP1700+ 0,13 processor?
I've already read on this site that it doesn't :( but from the other hand I've heard that some people have those Xp1700+ on the same boards and everythings works fine (with bios ver. 3.6).
So...will it work or not? XP1700+ 0,18 works perfect.
Regards

Hi, it may work but there is no official support for it.

MSI GT683R FPS PROBLEMS

Hello,
I am having a problem with my two year old MSI GT683R. (Intel Core i7, Windows 7)
My computer has severely bad frameS per second problem. I cannot even play my games (Minecraft, CoD BO2, Chivalry, Defiance...) It starts around 70 fps but as I continue to play it drops to about 2-10 fps.
What could be causing this problem? How can I fix this?
Thank you.

How about this?

What's your current graphics driver version you have?
Try to roll back to the graphics driver version from MSI website and see if the problem remains.

Qosmio X500 Canadian version. Turbo mode how do you set it up?

I've had the Qosmio X500 (Canadian version) and have yet to figure out how to set the CPU to turbo mode which has been touted by Toshiba to be avail. I have installed an run a few games but a game such as Assassin's Creed tells me it has issues as the processor it sees runs at 1.6 vice the 1.9 required.
Any ideas guys I think it's very similar to the American X505 but no lighted keyboard nor the SSD primary hard drive.
Thanks

Also, If you're running it on the high performance power setting, try it on Balanced instead. This laptop should be powerful enough to run your game on balanced, and balanced won't heat up the cpu as much, making it more likely to be at a proper temperature to turbo boost.

Thinkpad T420s - is it safe to run the CPU on PM 'Maximum Turbo' mode 24/7?

Hi guys,
I have been playing around with Power manager system settings and observed following core frequency behaviour:
Maximum Turbo - clocks all cores close to their Turbo Frequency (3.2GHz on mine) and they stay there, regardless if
                             under load or not
Turbo - frequency jumps between 2.4GHz and 3.2GHz
           - under load jumps to 3.2GHz and stays there (while under load)
Balanced - frequency jumps between 2.2GHz and 2.7Ghz
                 - under load jumps to 2.7GHz and stays there (while under load)
Low - frequency locked to 800Mhz, regardless if under load or not
First, I would like to ask for confirmation if this is really how it should work, and/or if someone is able to observe different behaviour.
Secondly, there is virtually NOTHING in the PM documentation that describes these parameters and what they do!
My main question: How safe is it to use the Maximum Turbo mode 24/7?
I can imagine that this CPU was not designed to run on 3.2GHz 24/7 and that the Turbo Boost is expected to occur only ocassionally.
Even if I choose to ignore the heat factor, would this mean increased wear on CPU?
Could the 'Turbo' mode be regarded as safe?
After some extensive testing, I can really see performance boost between 'Balanced' (which doesn't use Turbo) and 'Turbo'.
What I don't understand is why 'Turbo' seems to be jumping to Turbo Frequency, when the CPU is idle.
I would appreciate any comments and observations.
many thanks
//Matt
I used HWInfo64 to observe the CPU frequency and Prime95 to generate the load
CPU: Intel Core i7-2620M
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the T420s with the Core i5 processor. My observations are similar to yours, except when I'm on the Balanced and Turbo settings, the frequency drops to 800mhz when the CPU is not under load.
There is one option you forgot to describe: the "Lenovo Turbo Boost+" option in the power manager. This option appears to lock the fan at a high RPM to cool the CPU more quickly. This would reduce any thermal throttling when running at high clock speeds for a long period of time.
Regarding why "Turbo seems to be jumping to Turbo Frequency when the CPU is idle", please note that your CPU is never completely idle. WIndows and its applications run many processes and tasks in the background, and it is normal to see a burst of CPU activity every couple of seconds. To observe this, download the "Sysinternals process monitor" utility and watch all of the background activity that occurs.
Regarding the increased wear on CPU, running at high temperatures reduces the lifetime of electronic components. There are no problems other than the "heat factor", but excessive heat can be a significant problem.

Over Clocking in turbo mode

I have found a clock speed that works good but i can only use it in slow mode which turns off the performance mode on the memory. Is there going to be a Bios update for this prob. Or am i the only one who can't OC in anything other than slow mode?.
the turbo mode only works i can't even use the best one it just freezes up.

I`ve got the same setup with stock cooling, origanally had kingston kvr400x64c3a/512 x2 value ram, had to get better ram to overclock with that ram turbo and seargent were best settings possible. As for pat\mat (performance mode other than slow) looks like about 220 fsb is its limit for most people even my new ram craps out on performance mode(fast) at 217. For overclocking high speed ram is best like 500+ (expensive), with your extreme cooling try ddr frequency of 333 or 266 and pump up the fsb, but like I said with my value ram I didnt have much luck overclocking.
