Hi, Im new to the forum, been searching about my problem and doesnt seem to be found, so decided to initiate new post, my laptop msi gx60 hitman apu temperature was over 90Celcius... what could possibly happen? is it because of thermal compound or is this normal or any other possible cause?

I'm not extremely familiar with the GX series myself, or any of the AMD based notebooks.
BUT....90C is rather warm IMHO.
The best I can suggest, is that if you're feeling adventurous, and have the skills, you could use the assembly guide and disassemble the laptop and replace the thermal compound on the CPU and GPU heatsinks. Then check what the temperatures are afterwards. Hopefully they go down.
If you don't feel adept at doing this, the best I can say is to contact MSI for a possible RMA.

MSI GX60 (Hitman Edition) gaming laptop graphics drivers

Hey guys, I'm having a problem finding the proper drivers for my machine. I've checked the AMD site to see if there's a drivers for me, none of them are compatible with switchable graphics. While they work, they bring a few issues as well.
Maybe I'm just not the brightest person, but I don't really know what else to do. I don't want to think I wasted money on this. Because it seems like there isn't much support for it anymore. Can someone help/guide me to the right direction?
Specs:
• Windows 8.1
• AMD Quad-Core A10-Series processor
• AMD Radeon™ HD 7970M Discrete Class Graphics

That should do it, I think.

Anyone upgraded their gx60 hitman edition?

Well I have had my gx60 hitman edition for a couple of months now and I love it MSI has a customer for life here. I also had a MSI gx630 before this which i hold a over clock world record with I got it to 2.65 GHz on air. but this brings me to my point has anyone upgraded their gx60. the single channel ram is killing me I think the system would be much more responsive in dual channel mode. also I plan on putting a ssd in for a boot drive and to put my more demanding games on. but I was just wondering before I void the warranty if any one has already upgraded and what kind of performance gains did you get? Also is there anyway to over clock the 5750m I can't find a way? P.S. did everyone get a free mouse because I didn't :(

So u're suggesting that gx60 user should upgrade their DDIM for a better gaming performance? Is is true gx60 is weak in cpu? Rts and mmos are not compatible with gx60
Dual-channel will squeeze some more juice from the CPU...Low latency RAM would also squeeze a little bit more...but the improvements will not be so much until you suddenly get 40-50 fps from 20fps...
To put things to perspective, a10-5750m is weaker than ivy bridge i5, and about 3x slower than haswell i7...It is the compromise that one has to make when picking GX60...i7+mid range GPU or AMD + high end GPU...
it is not that GX60 is not compatible with RTS and MMO..it is just so happen that RTS and MMO demand much more CPU power than say first person shooter...a lot of cpu power is needed to render the units and environment

Connectivity problem with MSI GX60

Good morning, gentlemen,
9 months ago I bought me a Steelseries MSI GX60. Everything was working quite fine, but after four months I started to have complications with my wifi, as it was saying, that I have excellent signal, but I could not load any page. When it happened first, I thought I was not careful enough and caught some sort of virus, so I checked the system with a few programs. For a week let's say everything was fine. Then I had to reinstall the system completely. Today it is the third time that my connection has been slowed or cut off. What to do, I am starting to think it's some hardware complication and not just a virus. Any help? Thank you.

relax. The most common issue that couses writers not be able write at full speed is the DMA setting. Make sure that u have DMA enabled. go to your device manager -->IDE/ATAPI controllers and make sure the IDE channel that your drive is connected is DMA enabled. Also make sure that u have connected your drives as "MASTER" in the IDE bus.
also make sure that the disks u are using are validated for 48x speed. Try using other media brand.

MSI GX60 problem sata3 HDD

I have a problem with with the 500 GB hdd Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500 HTS725050A7E630 in one of the slots in the laptop GX60 (slot DVD drive). The Russian Support Center could not help and advised to contact with support center - "for the objective diagnosis of faults." Do you have any information about such kind of problems with Laptop GX60 especially SATA 3? Or maybe, there is any solution to update the BIOS? This slot at the time of purchase worked WD5000BPVT sata 2.Also that slot been tested with SATA 3 ssd ADATA XPG SX900 128GB. And operates smoothly.
Hitachi 500GB Travelstar Z7K500 HTS725050A7E630 status -OK. And it works in the slot below the touchpad mode sata 3. But it is in that slot is reversed. What is extremely may affect its long performance.
Why in the slot under the DVD drive is a conflict with a 500GB hdd Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500 HTS725050A7E630?

Clean Install of Preloaded Windows 8 on HDD to SSD (MSI GX60)

Good Morning Guys!
This is my first post here so I'll try my best to explain my problem / confusion coherently.
I recently ordered a MSI GX60 off ExcaliberPC. I haven't gotten it yet but my plan is to install a new 2.5" Cosair Force 3 120 GB SSD making it my primary hard drive and transferring the HDD to a secondary bay. I would want to use the same Windows 8 product key that came with the lappy obviously. Reason why I'm not doing a clone is because I heard that there might be some performance issues. Also want to remove all the bloatware and crapware that came with it.
So I have a few questions:
1) Are the mounting brackets provided by the laptop or do I have to purchase them myself?
2) I heard that the Windows 8 product key is embedded in the BIOS; which means I just have to do a clean install and it should automatically be activated? Does the same apply to Microsoft Office?
3) In which order do it? Install SSD into primary bay, relocate HDD to secondary bay then do a clean install on SSD first and clearing out the HDD after? or clear out HDD first then do a clean install after swapping in SSD into primary bay?
4) If the product key is indeed embedded in the BIOS, would updating the BIOS risk erasing out the key?
5) If my laptop completely dies, is there any way to retrieve the Windows 8 product key from the BIOS?
Appreciate all the help I could get!!!

I'm trying to do a clean install of windows 8 myself and I too am confused about the license being embedded. How do I get the license for my laptop? I installed Win8 clean and now I can't seem to get it to activate.

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

[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 .

MSI GX60 RAID

Hi guys!
I'm looking to change the storage configuration on my MSI GX60 Destroyer notebook. I have seen in the BIOS that there is an option for RAID instead of AHCI for storage; does anyone have any more information on this? I was thinking of the following combo
SSD 1 and SSD 2 in RAID 0 and the 1TB drive replacing the DVD drive.
Is it possible on this notebook?

RAID drivers is included in intel chipset package it does not come seperated.
To confirm that you can do RAID, then does it have 2x msata slots? if so then RAID will work on GX60 other wise it wont.

Most likely, no. Usually a different Electronic Controller is used for the non-backlit and backlit keyboards.
