MSI GX620 Cooling Problems

hello everyone!
i bought my MSI GX620 notebook at christmas and till now everything worked really fine. about a week ago i noticed that games,after running about 15-20 minutes, start to run slower, feels like fps would drop around 20. my first thought was the vents got too much dust, so i removed carefully the back of the notebook, so i could clean the vent a bit, but still, i got the same issues. i checked with Everest, the GPU temp is 65°C (149 °F), the CPU temp is 55°C (131°F) while doing just simple browsing. this i think is just fine. but when i start any game ( with low PC requirements too ) the GPU has 91°C and the CPU is 80°C and the framerates just drop after 15-20 mins from about 60-100 to 10-20fps. and that just started some days, maybe a week ago.
can anyone tell me what should i do or try?
thanks , and sorry for my bad english

I've been having the same problem with my GX630. The thing must be really clogged because it gets extremely hot after about five minutes of moderate graphics gaming and slows to a chugging crawl. I'm assuming that the plate on the bottom of your machine is the same as on the GX630, and is pretty large with a little indent for where it's supposed to come off. Did you manage to do this?
I took out all the screws and tried to pry it open but gave up for fear of breaking the whole dang thing.
Anyone have experience doing this?

  • [GX620] MSI GX620 Overheating Problem

    Hello,
    I have a MSI GX620 laptop and it overheats all the time when playing games (World of Warcraft)
    When playing the laptop just randomly shuts down after playing for a while.
    I am using a USB cooler to get rid of it but it doesn't seem to help in any way.
    Can someone please help me to fix this overheating problem since it is very annoying and I just can't get rid of it.
    It's been good for a week and now it just happens to shut down very often.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Sam

    Please note that Arctic Silver is slightly conductive. If you're going to use this, be VERY sure not to spill any or that you don't use too much.
    If it does spill and gets in contact with the small pins around the core you might create a short circuit.
    I recommend the following best tested thermal pastes:
    -Prolimatech thermal compound
    -Tuniq TX-3
    -Arctic silver 5 (slightly conductive)
    -Arctic silver ceramique
    -Enermax (Dow Corning TC-5121)
    -Thermaltake thermal compound

  • MSI GX620 multiple problems

    Sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot. I really need some help. This laptop is driving me crazy! It's making me consider getting a different brand, because I have had nothing but problems since I had this thing. I hope newer models of MSI laptops work better than this.
    1.) For some reason, my laptop won't charge. It says that it's charging, but after hours of charging it still says 21 percent. This has been going on for like 6 months now, after I had the dc jack replaced the first time. Once replaced at that time, I kept smelling a burning smell so I had the dc jack replaced again! After the second time, it charged for a little whtile but the all of a sudden it stopped.The bios and the firmware are updated and still no luck! Not sure what else I can do!
    2.) For some reason, when I press the turbo on, or use set fsb, it locks up, or "freezes", then I have press the power  button to restart it! I
    I am really starting to think that something is wrong with my bios. As stated earlier, I have had nothing but problems with this thing. My laptop is out of warranty so I what ever hardware changes it may need  I have to pay for it myself. Can anyone please help me?
    Win 7 ultimate 32bit
    4.00gb ram
    Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20ghz

    For 2) problem - have you changed bios settings, for example RAM freq settings from auto to 800? I have GX623 and after changing ram settings from auto to 800 I can`t press turbo button, because after I press it or win hangs up or shows blue screen. I think it is because, when you press turbo button it tries to overclock ram even higher than 800.
    But in auto mode, and with turbo of it works on 667mhz, but with turbo on 800.
    Is there is newer bios than yours? Maybe try update it.
    Sorry for my bad english )

    Hi,
    I have xp, I installed the chipset and the system control manager but the eco funtion doesn't work although the turbo funtion works.
    thanks.-
    In some notebook models, ECO is supported in Vista only.
    Also ECO can be activated only when notebook is running at battery.{without AC}
    However you can simply apply "max power saving" from power scheme will has the same effect.

  • Msi gx620 with intel core 2 duo , 2.0ghz, 800 mhz and 2 M cache ????

    So this local store is going to get me an MSI GX620 with 2.0 ghz proccessor. It should be available in 3 days.
    From what i know, this is supposed to be the Gx 620-018 with the P7350 core 2 duo proccessor because that's the only 2.0 ghz MSI gx620.
    BUT the printed paper that has the laptop specifications, which the store clerk gave me, says:
    intel core 2 duo , 2.0 ghz , 800 mhz, 2 M cache (does not mention the processor series name...)
    bUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE because the P7350 has 3 M cache memory and more than 800 mhz...
    IT also says that the ram memory is 3gb, which i know it's supposed to be 4 gb.
    I'm confused...could it be a rip off, or just a stupid mis-print and wrong info about the the laptop specs from the store clerk???
    Thanks!

    This is a user-to-user forum, nobody here works for MSI (that includes moderators and administrators). 
    What exactly do you expect us to do?  We do not know in which region you live, we do not know the store you have ordered the GX620 in, we do not know where the store is getting the GX620 from (certainly not from MSI, but from another reseller or a distributor (which we don't know) and we do not know the origin and the author of the piece of paper you got in that store nor can we be sure that the info on it is trustworthy.  This is a long list of uncertainities for starters.  All the GX620 that I have seen here come with a P7350, however, that does not mean, that in your area, this has to be the case as well.  Consequently, the only save way (without speculation involved) is to check the notebook itself as soon as it gets to the store.  Without further information we cannot tell you anything else.

    I wonder who can???
    The store should be able to call its reseller/distributor to check the specs of the GX620 they ordered.  If they are unable or unwilling to do that even though the information on the piece of paper they(!) gave you raises valid questions, the problem you have is obviously with the store, not with us here.  The specifications sheet for a particular notebook model in a particular part of the world should include the exact model name of the processor.  If that is not that case, somebody (the store, the reseller or the distributor) forgot to do its homework and if that was the case, how can anyone in here make up for that?  You could call an MSI distributor in your country to find out what variants of the GX620 they are putting on the market in your region.  However, this is still not as informative as starting the notebook to check directly. 
    I don't really get what you are so mad about.  You ordered a notebook in a store that is unable to provide you with accurate information about the product it is trying to sell you.  That us not exactly a very understandable reason to get upset in here, just because we can't verify the info you got either.

  • MSI GX620 display destroyed

    Hello I have a pretty serious problem. I have a MSI GX620 laptop. For a long time I had a broken plastic frame (case) around the display and now I broke and right bracket frame and see the display. http://www.abax.cz/img/zbozi/2MSBL.jpg. Laptop is not under warranty since April. So I ask how much will it cost me a fix. THX Razormann

    Also, MSI does NOT give warranty on plastic covers since the notebook is still functioning without them.
    Quote
    Any damage of covers or casing is without any doubt not within the responsibility of MSI, thus chargeable. It will only be repaired if the customer explicitly requests it, since that kind of damage does not affect system functionality or performance.

  • MSI GX620 notebook graphics card upgrade (HELP)

    Hello
     first time sorry for my bad english.
     I have a MSI GX620 laptop with a nv 9600th
     I thought to myself that I have a ati hd4670 of replacements.
     but unfortunately not boot the notebook with the video card.
     the notebook starts, but only up to the hardware id consultation.
     Give it a possibility to modify the bios that the card is detected?
     ie the white list table expand.

    There is no whitelist for the MSI gx620. This model supports many many graphics card.
    There may be a problem with your 4670 card. You may want to update the laptop BIOS however to that of the gt627 or possibly gx623.
    I recommend you return the graphics card to the seller you got it from. You can get a new heatsink for better Nvidia cards like this http://cgi.ebay.com/NVIDIA-quadro-FX-2700M-512MB-NB9E-GLM2-MXM-III-/270729976730?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3f08c39b9a which is like the 9700m GTS (good if not better) http://cgi.ebay.com/Alienware-Nvidia-Quadro-FX-3600M-MXM-512MB-Graphic-Card-/170612917606?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item27b9528566#ht_4888wt_1139 (like 9800m GTS, very good) http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-nVidia-Quadro-FX-3700M-1-GB-Video-Card-NEW-NB9E-GLM3-/370504497087?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item5643c9f7bf (the best, but will run HOT)
    Or if you like ATI http://cgi.ebay.com/Alienware-M17-M15X-512MB-ATI-HD-3870-Master-Video-Card-/180661996018?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item2a104b49f2
    The heatsink may be hard to get. I think I could get one for you tho, PM me if you're interested.

  • CPU speed MSI GX620

    I have a MSI GX620 as you can see in the title, I installed CPU-Z to read my CPU speed, multiplier etc.
    It has a P7350 processor, that should do at least 2 GHz, though when i check it at CPU-z it says i have a speed of 1850 MHz with a multiplier of 6, this all is with the turbo button on.
    Before I've had a reading of 2.3 GHz with 7.5 multiplier, that is more like the way i want it, how do i get my CPU to work faster? When I'm playing a game it's at 100% CPU usage but my laptop won't push the multiplier to 7.5 for better results.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Your CPU is in "standby" mode when you are not doing anything, therefore it underclocks itself. When you play your games, it goes back to its full clock speed. If your CPU is always 100% when gaming it is because the CPU is not able to keep up with the game . Remember, a laptop always has alot less performance than a desktop computer.

  • MSI GX620 - can't turn on HDMI output

    Hi,
    I have MSI GX620 with HDMI output, and Benq G2420HDB monitor with DVI input. I bought HDMI-to-DVI cable, but when I connect it between the laptop and monitor, monitor recognizes that it has been connected to DVI (it shows the message), but it also says that there is no signal, and turns off.
    When I try analog laptop output, everything's working perfectly, I have the picture on the screen.
    It seems that there is no signal on HDMI output. Do I need to turn it on somehow or what?
    Thanks.

    So I just came back from a friend who also has a DVI monitor. The same situation there - when I plug it on my cable and laptop, nothing happens...
    So, we decided to try installing the latest graphic card drivers... I went to msi site, and the closest thing I could find to my 64-bit Windows 7 were drivers for 32-bit Windows 7. I tried installing them, but they wouldn't install, because they are strictly built for 32-bit Windows version.
    The next step was to go to nVidia site and try looking there. We found 64-bit Windows 7 drivers, installed them, but the situation is the same - still nothing happens on plugging in the DVI monitor...
    So, my guess is:
    1. I need 64-bit Windows 7 drivers for my graphic card but from from the msi site, because these drivers (when they come out) will probably support hdmi output, unlike regular 64-bit Windows 7 drivers from nVidia's site (do you think this makes sense?)
    2. HDMI is simply not working.
    I forgot to mention that up to installing graphic card drivers today, I've had regular graphic drivers which Windows 7 automatically installed. So, maybe they didn't support hdmi, because they didn't come from msi's site (the same goes for the drivers I just installed - they came from nVidia's site, as I previously mentioned).
    What do you think? Thanks.

  • MSI GX620 - After XP installation, reactivate SATA

    Hi,
    I have installed Windows XP on my notebook MSI GX620-20FR
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1529

    What can I do?
    Is there  drivers or ... ?
    Any advice is welcome.
