MSi GT70 2OD GPU

Hi guys.
I´m new here, but I have one question.
Is it possible to change GPU on MSi GT70 2OD notebook? I whould like to change from GTX780M to GTX980M.

It will most likely work fine. You can get a 980M for $720 and a 970M for $450. Either card will probably work. The 970m works fine in my system (a GT60 2OD 780m). No reason a 980m wouldn't also work fine. You will need to do a small heatsink mod with a dremel or rotary tool. Took me about 5 minutes.
Eventually you will be able to find official MSI 970m heatsinks on eBay or forums from other users. You can then purchase that and have an official MSI heatsink.
There is a thread I created over at notebook review forums under MSI section showing the mod required and how I did it. Goodluck with your upgrading.

MSI GT70 2OD eSATA Port

I might be asking a stupid question here but where is the eSATA port on the MSI GT70 2OD?
On the MSI website under specification it states (sorry can't seem to post a hyperlink):
eSATA 1
eSATA/USB Combo 1
If it is one of the USB ports, what type of adapter do I need to use eSATA (without loosing performance by running under USB)

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-770m
According to that it is supported.
I'm not certain how well it will work, but it should. I would assume it does over Display Port, but I honestly have no idea as I don't have any.

MSI GT70 2OD Nvidia Drivers

Is there a reason why MSI GT70 2OD owners are unable to upgrade to the latest Nvidia Drivers for their 780M?
Other brands with the 780M seem to be able to upgrade (Alienware, Clevo etc), but the drivers won't work with the MSI Laptop.
Will we only be able to get drivers from MSI for this laptop, or in the future will we be able to install drivers from Nvidia?

Quote from: Svet on 04-July-13, 18:49:08
nvidia should add support for MSI's as well with next updates.
Svet is 100% accurate with this.
When the GT70's originally came out with the GTX6XX cards in them, they didn't have support from NVidia for a few driver releases. I expect that within the next few driver releases, support will be added.
Most likely, it should be possible to make the new drivers work if you did some INF editing though.....

Adding mSATA/mSSd to a MSI GT70 2OD-407US

Hi,
I'm a new owner of an MSI GT70 (wife finally let me buy one). I'm not at all new to modding computers of varies calipers. I honestly haven't been in the game in 3 years and coming back up the ladder because the technology has changed. I've kinda been in a geeks purgatory(married and in the ARMY), so life's been really busy for me and has not allowed me to keep up with current tech.
My Question. Modding my GT70 2OD-497US:
MAXing RAM to 16GBs, Easy. that's a no brainer.
where I need help is adding mSata/mSSD to my MSI to use it as a boot drive for the Window 7 Home Premium it comes with.. Thinking about add 128/256GB as boot and recovery as well as other important files and using the 1 TB 7200RPM HDD as pure storage to run programs, videos, movies, and music off of. (I'm not a big gamer)
I have not received my MSI yet and won't touch it for another month or so. I have plenty of time to figure it out. This question been raking my brain for a week, so that's why I'm post for some help.
Any information no matter if you're "talking above my head or not" is highly appreciative. If I think I don't know what you're talking about I will ask questions and do tons of research.. I used to be at the top of the GEEK food chain, but starting at the bottom now. I don't mind admitting that. The Army and marriage takes a lot of my time.
Add-on to message: I do not know if the GT70 2OD-407US comes with the msata slot board, it should, but can't seem to verify. If not I can buy one.

So lets back this up with a number of facts.
I can't find any information about the GT70 2OD-497US so....
Does the notebook come with an SSD?
If it does, then you will have the "Super Raid" adapter that lets you put mSATA drives into the laptop.
If it does NOT, then you will NOT have the "Super Raid" adapter, and you will not be able to put mSATA drives into the laptop.....without attaining a Super Raid adapter. This is difficult. MSI will NOT sell them. If you are LUCKY, you might be able to talk to a distributor or company that offers customized MSI notebooks into selling you just the adapter, but I'm not sure they will. If they will not, you're pretty much SoL. Supposedly there was a chinese company selling the adapters, but I don't recall the name or if they still are.
In all honesty, if you don't have the adapter, I would just order a regular 2.5" SSD drive instead and live with it.
A couple of other things I can suggest.
Get at a minimum a 240/256GB SSD. You'll find that after installing Windows and such you only have roughly 75 gigs maybe left on your 128GB SSD. And I just don't think that's enough. The 240/256GB drives are cheap enough now that you shouldn't have any problems getting it.
When you partition your SSD, only partition it for about 85% of the total space (so 85% of 256GB = 215 GB). Leave the rest of it unpartitioned. This is called over-provisioning, and will help to maintain the overall speed of the SSD (read/write speed) during the entire life of the SSD. The reason it does this is because it provides more space for TRIM to work, even if you completely fill the partition you created. If you had fully partitioned the drive, and almost filled it, the speed would start to deteriorate because there isn't enough 'space' to do TRIM anymore and it has to work harder to do it, causing your overall read/write speed to decrease. This is especially bad on Samsung drives. (for more information, go search around on www.anandtech.com, plenty of good information and benchmarks to backup my statements)
Other than those tips, you should be good to go.....BUT!
The VERY FIRST THING YOU DO AFTER LOGGING INTO YOUR NEW NOTEBOOK? Please please please create the backup DVD's! MSI does not provide backup media inside the box. You need to make these on your own using the included MSI Burn Recovery software.

MSI Gt70-0NC GPU Dead??

HI Guys,
I bought a MSI GT70-0NC last week and reinstalled Windows 7 immediately.
I got a GTX 675M 2GB Graphics Card in it and i cant start any Game with it. Neither i can install any drivers.
The first Problem is, that the Graphics Card puts out an error 43 in System-Manager.
Then there´s no Bios Information of the GPU Clock in GPU-Z.
I downloaded the latest VGA-Bios for MSI-Cards on Techpowerup.com and flashed it with nvflash:
and still got the same Problems.
I tried the Inf Modding for the Actual Graphics driver and the original Driver on the MSI-Homepage.
Still no Luck
Is there any other MSi Rom i need???
Is it even possible to get the Graphics card to work?
Pls guys, can u help me??? i´m running my Notebook with integrated Graphics at the Moment

Quote from: Aceman on 27-October-14, 17:26:40
i can get a GTX260m very cheap from a friend. Is there any possibillity to get this card working in the GT70??
The next best card for your laptop is going to be the 680m, it is quite a bit more powerful than the 675m and would actually be a pretty decent upgrade (the 675m wasn't that great to begin with). You should be able to get a 680m working from ebay, try and buy an MSI one, a Dell/Alienware one can still work but it you're more likely to run into problems, you'd also have to flash the MSI vbios.
Good luck

MSI GT70 2OD-019US

Hi. I'm new to this this forum and I'm a 1st time MSI buyer(previously had a Toshiba Qosmio). Anyway, for some reason my laptop sound just doesn't sound right. Compared to other low end laptops in my home, my MSI doesn't get as loud, nor does it have much bass. I just started using the computer yesterday and I followed the instructions that came with the disk (I chose the All-in 1 install for drivers etc.). I'm not very tech savvy so am I missing something?? I read that the Dynaudio sound that comes with the MSI GT is supposed to be outstanding. Also, my friend who owns a computer store suggested that I delete some of the unnecessary junk (programs) that was pre-loaded on my laptop. His first suggestion was to download all the Microsoft updates which I did. He then recommended me to download Norton's removal Tool and remove the pre-installed Norton's suite. I told him that I was thinking about buying Bitdefender Total security and System Mechanic Pro. His answer was you don't need to buy anything to keep your computer running like new and virus free...you can get all you need for free such as MSE etc. I surf the web daily and download lots of ebooks. What software should I absolutely own to keep my computer running like new and be free of viruses, malware, etc.
Also, what pre-installed programs should I remove that came prebundled with my GT70 2OD-019US??
Thanks

I haven't had problems with the notebook getting loud enough, but then again, it depends. Some video's the sound wasn't as loud as I expected, but it seemed to be a problem with the video, not with the sound from the notebook.
Honestly, I don't use any antivirus and anti-malware. MS's Security Essentials is really all I need. Then again, I'm a bit of a techie so I know what stuff is good and what is bad.
The Windows installs from MSI are actually rather clean. There's only really a few programs you usually can get rid of from their stock installation. It's much better than most other companies that I've seen.

MSI GT70 Dominator GPU Throttling Issues

Hello everyone, I'm new to these forums, but figured someone on here might have an answer to my problems. I received my GT70 Dominator yesterday, and am having serious trouble getting it to run Titanfall properly. By default I used the Nvidia Experience recommended settings which were 1080p, and High across the board. This made sense because I bought this laptop to replace my desktop which has a Core i5 2400, 8GB Ram, and a GTX 760 in it. My GT70 has the Core i7 4800HQ, 16GB Ram, and the GTX 870M. The laptop's CPU should be more powerful, and the GPU should be within 10%. Titanfall runs at the same settings on my Desktop Flawlessly, but the framerate drop on this laptop is HUGE. The game will start around 60FPS, but will almost immediately start dropping in to the 20's. The FPS fluctuate constantly.
I've tried running MSI Afterburner to see exactly what speeds the GPU is running at under load. Unfortuantely it can't display the info yet (the 870m must be too new.) I tried GPUZ then, and it just says the GPU's specs (doesn't show moment to moment actual numbers.) However the MSI Kombustor software does display the Core speed and Throttle speeds. The Core Speeds almost instantly go down to 888Mhz, and drop off from there. The Throttle speeds go from 754Mhz, to 724Mhz. This is before the GPU even hits the 80C tempature limit. I've never seen this GPU over 900Mhz where 941Mhz should be it's baseclock (which I always thought was the minimum.) Running at 724Mhz whould net between a 20-25% performance drop, and would make sense why Titanfall can't keep up with my Desktop performance.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Has anyone found a way to disable, or change the throttling settings? If I can't fix this then the laptop really doesn't perform at the level I need it to.

Quote from: hch;100907
NV changed the way GPU works on GTX TITAN and GTX 700 Series, maybe try to increasing the temperature target with some third-party software, then you can raise the performance.
Sorry GTX 870M doesn't work with this.
But the dropping behavior seems normal, cause it will start dropping when hits its temperature limit. that's probably why it acted this way.
Think you can try the methods other mentioned maybe it's the setting or driver version.

MSI GT70-2OD - DPC Watchdog Violation

Anybody having this issue with random blue screen of deaths, DPC Watchdog Violation?
Today, I got two BSOD watching twitch streams. I thought it was a graphic driver issue, so I went back to a non-beta driver, but still getting the BSOD's.
Any suggestions?
BIOS version: E1763IMS.703
EC Firmware version: 1763EMS1.513
NVIDIA driver version: 335.23

Quote from: Svet;103301
flash your BIOS to the latest version .70W
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70_2OD.html#download
I am scared of flashing the BIOS because I am on my second notebook, where I flashed the BIOS and I had the black screen of death. It didn't boot at all. No MSI splash screen.
I don't remember on the first notebook if I chose the wrong file, but I followed the information to the letter.
If it is the only way to fix it, then I guess I have no choice. I hope it does not mess it up.

Just an update - it looks as Port 4 on my MSI laptop is switching between 6GB/s and 3GB/s
On most boots it gets 3GB/s, but on a few boots I get 6GB/s for the 3rd drive in my RAID array.
Restart - and its detected as 6GB/s, and I'm getting 1500MB/s in HDTune
Restart again - and the 3rd drive drops to 3GB/s and I'm getting 800MB/s in HDTune.

Any idea why it would come out as 3GB/s sometimes and 6GB/s others? (its back to 3GB/s now!)
----- UPDATE
It just happened while doing a HD Tune test!
Before the test, the intel manager was showing 6GB/s SATA transfer, then when the speed dropped in HD Tune, I reopened and it was then showing 3GB/SATA transfer connection.

Well, I'd wager it's either the SSD or the adapter. RMA again and cross your fingers?

[MSI-GT70 2OD]Gtx 780m & Tes Online & fan problems

So here we go.
it's a week (since the early teso release) im stuck with this "HUGE" problem.
this is my configuration:
-i7 4700mq
-32gb ram
-gtx 780m
-triple ssd raid0
guess this should be enough to run everything at least with an average quality. but it doesnt.
everything but tes goes fine (even furmark) and the gpu barely runs over 60-65° degrees.
with tes is an entire different question, since even with low settings(or the suggested settings from nvidia geforce experience) i get a no-sense fan noise due to the overwork of my gpu.
the result is playing on an airstrip or not at all.
i've read some people got fps problems with the same gpu/pc, i think this is the same, just my gpu works more than intended to fix the issue.

I'm not entirely certain what the problem here is....you haven't really clearly defined what it is. no-sense fan noise? What?
Most likely there's a configuration error and that's the real problem. Or it could be a problem with The Elder Scrolls Online (I assume that's the game you're talking about).
But until it's clearly defined, we can't really do much to help you.

MSI GT70 2OD-831XBE AZERTY kayboard doesn't stay on 1 colour

When i try to put my keyboard on only red or any other colour it works but when i shut down my laptop and get on it again the other day it changes back to the orginal 3colours

Quote from: Nichrome on 31-July-14, 03:42:05
I think it's quite normal.
If you want same colour, then you should look through the Steelseries engine for "load on startup" settings.
When i download the steelseries engine it doesn't find my keyboard. but the keyboard still works fine with all the functions.
