    Considerably improved over the GT70, purchased from Ken at GenTech PC, I am one of the first official GT72 owners on the planet.
    So, what improvements does the GT72 bring to the table?
     1. Improved chassis design.
     2. Larger touchpad, smooth and seamless with the palm rest.
     3. A large, cool to the touch, glass-like polymer palm rest.
     4. More USB 3.0 ports.
     5. A 230W PA.
     6. A 1080p webcam
     7. Revised Steelseries keyboard, flex-free, with brighter back-lighting.
     8. Dual fan cooling solution, with improved chassis vent design, a better fan control profile, ergo.....
     9. Better overall temps, with quieter operation.
     10. Re-designed chassis, and finally a new model designation.
     11. Gone is the problematic capacitance touch bar, replaced with positive touch switches.
     12. Gone is finicky Optimus switching, replaced with a simple dedicated GPU switch.
     13. mSATA SuperRAID 2, is replaced with M.2 SuperRAID 3, increasing speed, and the capacity of the RAID set. ( M.2 should improve significantly with the Intel 9-Series chipset)
     14. Killer Doubleshot Pro, wherein Ethernet and Wireless can be used independently, or simultaneously for improved bandwidth.
     15. And finally, due to the overall re-design, a more intuitive gaming experience.

    :D :D :D

    Initial thoughts......
    Well, here it is..... the MSI GT72-2PE Dominator Pro-007US, and the photos below do not do it justice. It's Bold, it's Bad, it's Fast, it's Powerful, and honestly, there is not much, not to like about this notebook. If there is one thing I feel could have been better, it would be the display. The Chi Mei CMN1735 has good brightness, color, and contrast, but lacks decent viewing angles.
    Anyhow, I have already spent a lot of time with tweaking, photos, benchmarks, etc., so I am going to cut-to-the-chase, and try to make this as short as possible.
    As to performance, the benchmarks below attest to the GT72's awesomeness, so what about noise, and the redesigned dual-fan cooling solution? Simply put, it is quieter than the GT70, has a better fan profile, and temps are well managed. Given the hardware, of course you will hear the fans spin up when the system is stressed, but it is not at all disturbing..... and when doing common task, the fans are only noticed if you get close and cozy with the system. Ambient room temperature was 78F, and the system's idle temps were CPU@38C, and GPU@36C. Without the use of Cooler Booster ('stock' fan profile only), during benchmarks the CPU reached 78C, and the GPU averaged 80C, peaking to 82C during the 3DMark Sky Diver benchmark. The palm rest remains cool to the touch, it's polymer is smooth as glass, and it's surface is seamless across the touchpad. Only a mild warmth rises from the keyboard.
    The Steelseries keyboard is indeed flex-free, keys are very positive and responsive, and the back-lighting is brighter..... which I attribute to the keyboard's re-design. Looks awesome!
    So what about SuperRAID 3, is it fast? Oh YEAH! Performance exceeds SuperRAID 2, as expected, and the system boots to desktop in as little as 6 to 7 seconds. HD Tune Pro reports an average read time for the Toshiba M.2 SSD's, as 1535MB/s..... while the previous SuperRAID 2 Sandisk X100 mSATA SSD's was an average of 1411MB/s. On the other hand, SuperRAID 3 really shines in the Crystal Disk Mark scores. To best evaluate the 'Real-World' performance of SuperRAID 3, I used the PCMark 8 Storage Test. For those unfamiliar with this benchmark, the performance score of 5014 is very respectible. The duration of this grueling benchmark is generally 1 to 3 hours, and the GT72 sped through in just 1 hour and 8 minutes. All in all, I applaud MSI's use of the new M.2 SSD's, but I think performance will most improve with future 9-Series Intel chipsets.
    With all the attributes I've mentioned above, it is when gaming, that you understand the mastery of it's intuitive design. The re-designed flex-free keyboard, the large smooth & heat-free palm rest, the spatial Dynaudio speakers, and vivid display, all lend to an immersive gaming experience. So much so, I found myself playing my test game, far longer than originally intended.
    To run the GT72 through it's paces, I chose the recently released, AMD optimized title, Sniper Elite III, by Rebellion. With settings max'ed to 'Ultra', the GTX-880M smoothly sliced through the frames like a hot knife to butter, with frame-rates from 54 to 82Fps, averaging at 65Fps. Game play was extremely smooth and fluid, and never a hic-cup or artifact.
    To represent the 'Out-of-the-Box' experience, I played with the stock fan profile, and Cooler Booster was never used. Like with my benchmark testing, the fan noise was not disturbing, and game audio though the Dynaudio speakers easily comes to the forefront. Fan noise was never a distraction. Temps of the GPU peaked to 82C, but averaged 64C, and the CPU peaked at 68C, averaging 54C. Again, with hardware like this, and without the use of Cooler Booster, these temps are outstanding.... and the new dual fan design is a success!
    Initially I intended my game session to be an hour..... in no time it became 3+ hours, and playing on this notebook is simply FUN!
    The look and feel is very stylish, and smooth finish is actually somewhat fingerprint resistant. Overall, with these great looks, it's fully loaded system specs, and stellar performance scores, the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro not only entitles bragging rights..... it DEMANDS them!
    All of this has me VERY excited for the upcoming next-gen 9-Series, Maxwell, X-treme Edition GT72! Can't wait!
    Enjoy!

  • MSI GT72 Dominator unboxing

    Hi everyone
    I'm so excited that I become one of the member here!!! WOW
    This is my first gaming laptop ever. Yeah
    The reason I bought the New MSI GT72 Dominator is because of it architecture inside the laptop itself and I have seen how much effort that MSI have put into R&D over the past decade and managed to caught up with big company like Dell Alienware, Asus ROG...etc
    Anyway lets unbox it
    The box itself is huge........
    The accessories
    The laptop itself
    I will leave it for now, I will run some tests(BF4, Diablo 3, LOL, 3D Marks) later on.

    more people with the same problem, we're not alone bro: http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/757541-msi-gt72-dominator-pro-owner-s-lounge-46.html#post9750381

  • New MSI GT Dominator PRO 890, screen goes black, system freezes

    Hey guys, I have a new msi dominator gt70 890. While running 3d mark, my computer screen just went black. It took a while but after hitting enough buttons I finally got back to the desktop view. But trackpad nor mouse would work. I had hwinfo and hw monitor running in the background and the values kept changing, but system was totally unresponsive. I had to shut it down by unplugging from wall, and taking out the battery. I kept hitting/holding power button, but wouldn't do anything but sometimes put computer to sleep.
    Then again while I was running realbench same thing. Then posting here on this forum, it happened again.
    Is this a common problem, will a driver update or setting fix this. Is the computer bad? Does anyone else have this happen or even better know how to fix it.

    First I was running on the NVidia gpu, with current drivers. Second time I believe NVidia as well. Third and then on were all intel drivers. Driver for intel I don't know for sure, I know I had intel utilitiy ran and searched for driver updates and didn't find any.
    I have since then, swapped out hhd for ssd, used the usb with recovery on it to install windows. Swapped out the 12gb ram for 32 gb corsair vengeance, changed out thermal paste and used formula 7 nano diamond thermal compound.
    Since then, I have just go up and running after installing windows. Downloading windows updates now, got NVidia drivers up to date, took off nortan, running furmark 720p continuous test now to check gpu temps, whjich are still 90-93c more around 91c. Which same as before so no difference in thermal compound, except I believe that the 880m gets throttled around 92-93c if im not mistaken, so since im at that barrior im not sure if gpu temps are better or not. Never tried gaming as it takes to long to dl and right now ive got other things. will be d/l intel extreme tuning utility and running that, to compare with cpu temps. Those were around 82c on stock paste, I should see a better/worse number there as thermal throttle is 100c which is way over where I am.
    I also have 3dmark downloading right now, il run that next, and compare with scores from before to determine throttling, and I can also compare temps to before on stock paste, I took screen shots of it all.
    As for black screen, nothing yet. So im really hoping that the new drive and windows install fixed whatever that was.
    Is there a app or program that checks all msi programs for updates?

    Let’s talk about performance and benchmark:
    A bunch of performance test on CPU-Z:
    ↑ From CPU-Z we can tell that GT72 Dominator Pro using a Intek Core i7-4710HQ 2.50GHz with four cores.
    ↑ GT72 using their own motherboard, which from MSI.
    ↑ The only different between a MYR9,999 and a MYR11,999 GT72 Dominator Pro is the capacity of the RAM: 16GB and 32GB.
    ↑ It getting 604 in CPUmark.
    ↑ GT72 equips with Super RAID 3 512GB SSD, which provide a 5 seconds start up time(From button to desktop). Average getting a 1,586 MB/s READING speed, and 1,325 MB/s WRITING speed on ATTO Disk Bench Mark.
    ↑ And the HDD getting an average 133 MB/s READING speed and an average 131 MB/s WRITING speed.
    ↑ Tested it with another software, and got a result of 1422 MB/s READING speed and 1081 MB/s WRITING speed on SSD, isn't that much differences from the test above.
    ↑ A 125 MB/s READING speed and 105 MB/s WRITING speed on HDD.
    ↑ Take a look on GTX980MB
    Benchmark by using 3DMark Professional Edition:
    3D Mark 11 Advanced Edition:
    ↑ On ENTRY level
    ↑ On PERFORMANCE level
    ↑ On XTREAME level
    Besides on gaming performance, it's very important to make sure it support casual works as well.
    ↑ On PCmark 8 HOME for some common home computing test: 4653
    ↑ On PCmark 8 CREATIVE for experts and proffesionals: 5445
    ↑ On PCmark 8 WORK for some simple office productivity test: 4401
    ↑ On PCmark 8 STORAGE to test SSD & HDD: 5017, and getting a average 330 MB/s Storage bandwidth.
    At last, we'll be doing CPU heat test:
    ↑ Before we run the test, the cores temperature is around 40 degrees, and 33 degrees on hard disk.
    ↑ After we had run for a 30 minutes maxed performance test, with full fans on, we're getting 75 - 80 degrees on CPU cores and unbelievable still 33 degrees on hard disk.
    To be honest, after tried on GT72 Dominator PRO, I just can't live without it anymore.
    The BattleField 4 running smoothly with photoshop on background, I can finally play some video games while taking a break on my photo editing and graphic design works, in the coffee shop of course.
    Although it looks pretty heavy, but it's actually much portable than I thought, in facts it's phenomenal thin for such a powerful performance beast.
    Carry around with the backpack it provided isn't a difficult task at all.
    Besides, one last thing to show:
    ↑ Sexiest design that let the heats never became an issue anymore.

    yeah.... with so much different angle and good quality, they are truly good photo shooting pieces!

  • MOVED: MSI X58 eclipse SLI CPU throttling problem

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=128074.0

    Quote from: goofazoid on 03-October-09, 15:03:29
    If you turn EIST off you should be able to put the multiplier to a specific number between 12 and 21 (or higher if you have an unlocked Extreme CPU) and that is where it will stay.
    I believe that is exactly what i did, i disabled EIST, C1E and set multiplier to 21, however, when i run a stability test(Prime95 or Linx) it always drops the multiplier down from 21x to 20x.
    It seems to me turbo mode is still working when it is supposed to be disabled when you set multiplier to 21(or maybe it is just simply won't allow x21 multiplier to be used at full load anyway, turbo mode on or off).
    Quote
    Very good point Jack. There you go ravescar & others, give that a try & see if it makes a difference. smile
    I experimented a bit with Overspeed Protection enabled and disabled, however i did not notice any difference in this regard, the multiplier still drops to 20 on high load for me.
    However this problem do not happen if i set multiplier to 20, it is only the 21 multiplier that have this issue.
    This is on a MSI X58 Eclipse SLI Motherboard + i7 920 D0 stepping + 6gb GSKILL Trident 16000 CL9 RAM.
    Quote
    BTW. I've read of a couple of cases where DO stepping 920's getting 22x with Turbo enabled but I'll remain skeptical regarding the validity.
    Maybe it is just earlier version of cpu-z mis-reporting multiplier?

  • MSI GT72 Dominator Pro video review, by GenTech PC

    Enjoy!

    Thanks for sharing such a great video. GT72 is very cool and powerful. It looks pretty easy to do upgrades. I've never seen other gaming laptops can do this. Well done.

  • Re: Sound (Subwoofer Problem) on my msi gt72 dominator pro

    When you go to playback devices and press your speakers then properties then custom you will see a checked box (Limited Output) when you uncheck this the sound will be more strong

    Thank you ! I can now access to the BIOS.
    Now, my boot device priority is all messed up and it doesn't include my real booting device.
    So does that mean there is a problem with one of my memory sticks or anything ?

    Hi Clawdite,
    I don't have a notebook like yours so I can't examine it. Therefore it is difficult to know what the illustration in the manual means. In the text it says: "The S/PDIF connector is also provided for digital audio transmission...

    have you tested the card in another computer?

  • MSI GT70 Dominator FPS problems.

    I recently bought the the MSI GT70 Dominator, and Ive been having some issues with frame rate. Unturned only runs at 25 fps sometimes, and I can't get minecraft over 30fps. League of Legends sometimes dips below 30 fps on max settings, but also sometimes gets above 60fps. Why are my frame rates so unpredictable, and why cant I get minecraft over 30 fps??
    Thanks for the help

    Do you have GTX 880M? If so you should use 327.23 Drivers. If it is working fine with them then it is famous 880M bug. I suggest you to RMA laptop then and wait couple months to buy GT72 with 880MX or whatever GPU but not 880M.
    And you need to google proper modded inf file for this new GPU in 327.23. Search at laptopvideo2go or ask somebody at some forums to add 880M IDs
    However  if those drivers will not help and you already tried "launch with high performance Gnvidia GPU" then check temperatures. If it goes above 80-90 then it is throttling issues. Overheating.

    You can try to download NVIDIA Graphic Card driver from msi website.

  • MSI GT70 Dominator Temperatures

    Hello I recently bought a MSI GT70 Dominator with Intel i7-4810 MQ & GTX870M and i am really worried about the temperatures it is producing.
    I am using the MSI Gaming Center program that came with the laptop to view temps and i discovered today that after playing GTA IV (with modifications) that the cpu temp was at 90C!
    The GPU was around there too but it lowered quickly down to 50C and the cpu temp is still sitting at 70C right now..
    I remember when i first got this thing it used to sit at 40c idle cpu and like 35c GPU
    When i turn it on it stays at 40c cpu and 35c gpu but if i play GTA IV the temps go up fast.
    I do not have a laptop cooler? would that help in this situation?
    I just got it in May
    Thanks!

    Honestly, you should be sitting at around 40C if your room temperature is 25C, when you're at your desktop.
    During games, going up to 85C or 90C isn't terrible, but it shouldn't really get any higher than 90C, even with the newer 4th gen Core i7's and GTX7xx/GTX8xx cards.
    You might consider doing a repaste job on the heatsink compound for the CPU and GPU. That can play a very significant part in keeping your temperatures lower. Just make sure you use a good silver based compound (like arctic silver MX5 for example), these will provide better cooling than normal heatsink compound.

  • Gt72 Dominator Pro

    I just bought the gt72 dominator pro and was wondering how easy would it be for me to upgrade the ram, install a new ssd drive, or upgrade the processor? Also I was wondering for those that own it has it been a good computer? Pros/Cons?

    Doesn't look too hard to upgrade the ram or ssd but it has a BGA CPU, so I'm afraid you can't upgrade it.

  • New MSI GT70 - 890 Screen goes black, computer non-responsive/first while benching, now anytime

    Hey guys, I have a new msi dominator gt70 890. While running 3d mark, my computer screen just went black. It took a while but after hitting enough buttons I finally got back to the desktop view. But trackpad nor mouse would work. I had hwinfo and hw monitor running in the background and the values kept changing, but system was totally unresponsive. I had to shut it down by unplugging from wall, and taking out the battery. I kept hitting/holding power button, but wouldn't do anything but sometimes put computer to sleep.
    Then again while I was running realbench same thing. Then posting here on this forum, it happened again.
    Is this a common problem, will a driver update or setting fix this. Is the computer bad? Does anyone else have this happen or even better know how to fix it.
    First thing I did was bench it, in which problem started, now im just normal laptop stuff, same thing.
    Im benching first, as I still have yet to put in my own ram and ssd, wanted to make sure before I broke warranty seal that it was all good to go.

    Try to restore the system back to the factory setting first, then run the benchmark.
    While running the benchmark, use the dragon gaming center or other third-party programs to check with the CPU&GPU temperature changes.
    Also check the VGA driver version and the VBIOS version on your GT70.
    Make sure you've update to the latest version from MSI website.
