Safe Temperatures - MSI GE70 0NC

So, I've been googling and (obviously) searching through this forum to find some sort of answer to my question regarding the safe temperatures of the CPU and GPU of the MSI GE70 0NC. This is due to the fact that my Intel Core i7-3610m is running (Turbo Boost disabled) at around 101 degrees Celsius (with a laptop cooler pad) when under heavy loads and also because my GPU reaches temperatures around 95 degrees Celsius while playing any game using the nVidia 650m. Would any kind fellow out there answer this question: What are the supposed safe temperatures of this laptop? (because I am getting worried here)
((Idle Temperatures at around 50 degrees Celsius, within two minutes of heavy load the temperature is up at around 101 degrees Celsius - For the CPU))

The reality is that idling the CPU should be around 40C when the laptop is in a room that is at around 25C (room temperature). The GPU should be similar.
Under full load, the CPU should really be in the 60 to 75C range, and the GPU should again be very similar, if not lower.
Most likely either the fans are clogged like badboy2k suggests, or the heatsink compound/grease is not working effectively.
You can either RMA the laptop, or just fix it yourself. Personally, fixing it yourself is the best option as it's not difficult to dismantle and then replace the compound. I would suggest some silver based thermal compound, generic or name brand doesn't really matter much, you won't really notice a difference yourself if done properly.

  • MSI GE70 0NC Wifi Button Only Turns it off (Win7 64)

    Recently wiped Windows 8 off my GE70 and installed Windows 7 64-bit.  Now I can't get the wifi hardware radio switch to come on.  When I press it, it shows a big icon in the middle of my screen with the Wifi symbol and an "X" over it.  Repeated pressed continue to do the same thing.
    I've installed the drivers from here: www dot msi dot com/support/nb/GE70_0nc#down-driver&Win7 64
    I've installed the S-Bar utility - all the other buttons seem to function OK.  Intel PROSet/Wireless installed with Dashboard Lite and Enterprise package (no Admin toolset), it will not allow me to turn the hardware switch on.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Ok, found the answer - the HARDWARE button just seems to ONLY turn it off.  I didn't realize on the Windows screen itself (at the top) there is the S-bar icon that, when hovered over, expands and can enable the Wi-fi.
    *sigh*

  • MSI GE70 0NC-009BE Azerty keeps having problems

    Hello all,
    I'm new on this forum, but decided to post here and see what you guys think.
    I bought an MSI in may 2012. In the beginning it used to just "freeze". I couldn't open my task manager or anything, the cursor wouldn't respond and I'd have to switch off my laptop. After a while this luckily stopped. I got 3 dead pixels in only 6 months, and in august it made a very loud sound while gaming. The store where I bought it from, repaired it. I got a new HDD, a new fan and a new screen.
    Since 2 weeks, without any cause, my wifi stopped working. The light doesn't burn and I cannot activate it either with Fn + F8.
    Then, without notice, I suddenly got a bluescreen, with the code "deaddead". Suddenly my wifi worked again. I got two more shortly after, causing my wifi to stop working again. A friend of mine disabled a network driver and the bluescreens stopped.
    While installing an anti-virus, I got a bluescreen as well, with the code "50" That same friend told me it had something to do with RAM.
    Yesterday while I was gone eating, my laptop had another bluesceen while it was in sleep mode. The problem was: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
    CODE 0x1000009f
    Since then, when I start up my laptop after having it in sleepmode, it refuses to start up. The screen remains black, but not fully as it's back lit.
    When I start up my laptop after it has been shut down, it sometimes refuses to start up, too.
    Does anyone of u guys experience the same? Can anyone help me? I contacted the store again and will have it resent to the store to get it fixed, but I sense the problems won't stop.. I regret having bought this laptop, but is it only this laptop or is this a known problem?
    I don't know what to do anymore

    hi there
    it's interesting sharing but kind of weird situation.
    You share lots of story here but not talk about your hw spec, the os version and driver version either, which can help people to analyse the problem. Maybe you can try it again here? or you can share your model number and production number to the admin and they would be willing to analyse the problem for you.

    I don't have any music apps, so that cannot be the problem. The strange thing is, that the wifi worked monday and stopped working again on tuesday. I don't understand it anymore.

  • MSI GE70 0NC - Missing driver HELP!

    Hi people,
    So I have owned my notebook since september, and just recently (December time i think) I started to get the BSOD when checking the stop codes i found that the code was linked to the video card failing. I checked my drivers to see if any needed updating or where missing since i installed windows 7 and got rid of 8 as I use this notebook as a cad and rendering station for work. I noticed i have two missing drivers that windows cant automatically install. one is a PCI Device for PCI bus 2, device 0, function 0. ( PCI bus 0 and 1 are my Intel 4000 and GTX 660m display adapters). and the driver status says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) There is no driver selected for the device information set or element. To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver." the next missing driver is labelled as unknown device and upon reading its properties gives me this location info on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller with the same status as before. I have been on the MSI downloads for my notebook and have downloaded all drivers/ BIOS/ Firmware that i can, with no success.
    Can anyone help me find these missing drivers to see if ths stops the BSOD because i really cba sending it to MSI for them to say it's a software issue and my fault for changing to windows 7.
    Thanks
    Callum

    This is the MSI boot configure, it’s the first software that opens on start of your MSI notebook. It’s a thoughtful program which is designed to let you choose how you want your notebook to boot up, the 2 screenshots show the options available; you can choose between the windows 8.1 metro or the normal desktop screen on log in. As well you have the option to choose whether the start button goes to the start screen or the app screen. This simple program allows you to customize your notebook to your needs!
    The GE70 has a Killer E2200 Intelligent networking LAN chip. It automatically detects and accelerates game traffic for smoother, faster gameplay by recognizing and prioritising online game data packs. Therefore in any game you’re playing weather a FPS or MMO you will always have the fastest response time possible in every situation! You can also manually decide the priority of each application to maximize network performance on the programs you need the most! You can see more on the killer network on our youtube -
    [video=youtube;bc4Y4VxOA-g]
    Now to test the system with the latest high demand games! We tested the system with crysis 3, metro last light, assassin's creed IV and battlefield 4. All these games require very high spec systems and are great for testing; we tested them on max settings and also on Nvidia’s optimized settings for each game. Nvidia has made it easy to optimize the settings to get the best performance possible out of the notebook with the GeForce experience! You can auto-optimize game settings for best performance and tweak them if you want better graphics or better frame rate.
    The result are as follows:
    Crysis 3 maxed out ran at an average of 20-30 FPS and with Nvidia’s optimized settings it ran at an average of 55-65 FPS.
    Metro last light maxed out ran at an average of 30-40 FPS and with Nvidia’s optimized settings it ran at an average of 50-60 FPS.
    Assassin’s creed IV maxed out ran at an average of 30-40 FPS and with Nvidias optimized settings it ran at an average of 35-45 FPS.
    Battlefield 4 maxed out ran at an average of 35-45 FPS and with Nvidia’s optimized settings it ran at an average of 50-60 FPS.
    All round great results from some of the highest demanding games on the market, it shows that the GE70 is capable of keeping up with your gaming needs while still being a portable, slim and light notebook.

    It is extra ventilation for cooling! Quote from: RepoSnow;104046

  • GE70 0NC Wireless NIC upgrade?

          This is my first Intel and MSI setup so I feel like a bit of a noob.
      I am looking for an upgrade for the wireless NIC that is shipped with the GE70 0NC. Are there any suggestions for upgrading the Intel 135n?
    The card that caught my eye is the 65xx series. It is triple band and has very generous speeds.
      Is it possible to use something like that on this system ?

    the drivers aren't a problem as i would think i could just use the win8.1 drivers from Killer.  The issue i'm concerned about is that there are 2 antenna cables that need to be plugged onto the adapter and since the Killer is Dual Band Wireless 2.4GHz and 5GHz but my existing intel centrino 135n is only single band that the RF cables inside my laptop might not have the 5GHz i need ? There ARE 2 cables inside my laptop i see plugged onto the intel centrino 135n but i'm not sure what the 2nd is doing. 

  • MSI GE70 2OE minor freezes and scratchy sounds

    Hi Guys,
    Recently I have become a happy owner of the notebook MSI GE70 SOE. However I found few problems which really destroy the pleasure of playing games on it.
    1) First of all I noticed that whenever the computer is going on high performance, balanced or even Eco power option there're problems with the USB and headphone ports. The computer starts to do little freeze for 1-2 seconds and also there is a scratchy sound both from headphone and notebook speakers.  I am using the USB wireless mouse and it often freezes during that time.The same problem occurs during game especially Battliefield 3. The notebook works quite Ok when it is on the Office power option but occasionally those problems occur on this option.
    I'd like to inform that I did all the drivers and windows 8 updates from the MSI website. I'm thinking that it probably can be a problem with the power supply but I'm not an expert on that.
    I would be very grateful for any help from you guys.

    What I would probably do first is check the temperatures, just to be sure.
    Use CoreTemp and MSI Afterburner and report the IDLE temperatures and the temperatures while playing a game. This would be most helpful.
    While it seems strange that it happens only with the AC plugged in, it might also have something to do with the computer overheating, and once you unplug it, it will throttle back quite a bit and cool down and catch up to itself. At least, that's my best guess at this point.

  • MSI GE70 2PE-40N worried about overheating

    Hello. I am about to buy a MSI GE70 2PE-40N (http://www.elkjop.no/product/data/barbar-pc/MSIGE702PE40N/msi-ge70-2pe-40n-17-3-gaming-pc#tab-specs) (Norwegian page) with:
    Intel Core i7 4700MQ, 4th gen, 2,4 GHz
    16GB ram
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M, 2GB
    (Is there more i need to add?)
    And i just had these questions about overheating, and how to prevent overheating as i have heared bad things about this pc getting hot, and i have experienced other laptops reaching dangerously high levels.
    How would the overheating problems be if i lower the maximum processor state while plugged in to 80-85%?
    How would it affect the actual gameplay/fps if i lower it so?
    Is it even recomanded to lower the maximum processor state while plugged in?
    Do cooling pads even help with the overheating problem? (atm got a Cooler Master NotePal X-Slim Ultra-Slim Laptop Cooling Pad with 160mm Fan (R9-NBC-XSLI-GP)) (http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-Ultra-Slim-R9-NBC-XSLI-GP/dp/B005C31HC0)
    Do termal paste help?
    If termal paste helps, which type/what should i look for?
    And last, which temperature should i aim for? 80C-90C?

    The GE70 should handle heat ok when gaming! Just be sensible and play in a room with good temperature and on a cool surface ( desk etc ) Cooling pads can help also!
    I would leave the thermal paste.
    Hope you enjoy your new notebook its a great machine!

  • MSI GE70 2PC 018NL Apache Overheating/No cooling

    Last saturday i bought an MSI GE70 laptop as my old laptop was getting outdated.
    The laptop has a i7 4700 CPU and GTX850M graphics card.
    I followed the installation wizard which is shown starting the laptop and installed Windows 8.1
    I resumed to update the graphics drivers to their latest version.
    I installed ESO and found out that the laptop was feeling hot, and the FPS never came above 10 FPS.
    Because of the heat i installed MSI Afterburner to check the core temperatures, and the CPU was at around 90 degrees, the GPU at around 92 degrees.
    After doing some searches on the internet i found that some people said their laptop's cooling fan made quite a bit of noise. Mine on the other hand was completely quiet, i felt with my hand and could not feel any airflow.
    I then tried the "ice cold?"  button (correct me if i got the name wrong) to activate the cooling, but that also did not do anything.
    When not running any applications except Windows the CPU core is ~80 degrees and the GPU is ~65 degrees.
    Note: I did put the laptop on a Zalman 17" laptop cooler, with a big fan underneath, because i already know overheating problems.
    Now, the store i bought it from does allow me to return it without any trouble. I just want to know if there is something i might be missing.
    Something that might be done to activate the fans.
    Thanks in advance for any replies,
    Meervluis

    Allright, update from my reseller:
    - They agree with me that the laptop is broken, and i can get my money back OR for additional pay can get another system.
    Now... i'd like some input from you guys 
    I found two laptops which i might want to buy, but i don't know which:
    - MSI GE70 2PC 272NL Apache - Core i7 4710HQ (NVidia GTX850M 2GB DDR5)  price new 1199,- euro
    - MSI GT70 2PC 1084XNL Dominator - Core i7 4800MQ (NVidia GTX870M 3GB DDR5) price new 1349,- euro
    Now, the apache comes with Windows 8.1, the Dominator with FreeDos (which i do not know :S)
    Both of them do not have SSD, but i have two Samsung SSD's at home, so that's not a problem.
    I'd say the dominator is more bang for bucks, but i have to install Windows 7 (which i have legally) myself.
    Could you guys give me more information about both laptops? or experiences you've had.
    Thanks so far,
    Meervluis

  • MSI GE70 Power jack trouble

    Hello all,
    I have a MSI GE70 laptop. The power jack has become loose and has trruble connecting. I took it apart and saw that the connecting cable was frayed at the soldering point and thus causing the problem. However, I'm having a hard time finding a replacement DC cable to replace the whole thing with in Canada. I looked online and all of them are in the states really. Is it possible to use another cable from another MSI laptop? And if so, which one(s)? What are my options here? Thanks.

    Is it the plug from the AC adapter or the jack on the laptop?
    If it's the AC adapter part, I'd just buy another AC adapter, just to be on the safe side.
    If it's the jack on the laptop.....well...I'd probably buy another motherboard.
    Just my 2cents. You can probably find both on ebay if you look.

  • MSI GE70 - Heat Problem

    Hi,
    This is my first post, hope it is in the correct section.
    I recently bought an MSI-GE70-2OE039. When playing Crysis 3 or Dirt 3, within 15 minutes the CPU reach temperatures of between 94 & 97 degrees. Are these temperatures normal for the GE70 series laptops?
    I've sent the laptop back to the supplier (after they told me it runs to hot and it must go back to the MSI distributor ), but the MSI distributor tested it, getting the same results, says it is normal for the laptop to run at those temperatures during gaming.
    So the supplier will now just send it back to me again and refuse to get a solution. Wish they told me before I bought this laptop that it will run at those temperatures. I understand now that gaming laptops do get hot, but is 97 degrees normal?
    (During testing I did use a cooling pad.)
    Thank you for your comments and replies.
    MSI GE70 2OE Intel Sharkbay i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz CPU / 12GB DDR3 RAM / 128GB Super RAID (2x 64GB SSDs) + 1TB HDD / Blu-Ray/DVD-RW Combo / 17.3" FHD Anti-Glare LED LCD Screen / nVidia Geforce GTX765M 2GB Graphics / Windows 8 SL

    Thanks for your reply. This is part of the message from the main MSI Branch forwarded to me from the distributor.
    "Please understand Intel Haswell is running hotter than Ivy Bridge. Our developers spent a lot of time to make sure that we have the best performance with CPU. In MSI previous thermal tests, CPU will increase its own temperature at 81 to 94 degrees if the system is running with heavy loading. This is normal temperature and the system works as designed."
    The distributor refuses to accept that there is a problem with the temperatures. They've had the laptop now for 2 weeks and said they are going to send it back to me.

  • MSI GT70 0NC Throttling

    Hello,
    I originally posted in the thread linked below but I though I'd post here as well. The original thread contains suggestions from other users as well as further information on what I've tried.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183574.0
    I have an MSI GT70 0NC.
    While gaming, my FPS will drop, for example, from 60 to 30 FPS (when turning a game character around to view something else for example) or overall FPS seems low when comparing my specs to a games system requirements.
    My laptop is also always plugged in, Turbo Boost is on and the fan button is on forcing the laptop fan to run at full blast while gaming.
    Temperatures also seem fine.
    I'm not sure if this is graphics card related or CPU related but it's pointing to GPU since one user observed that my card doesn't seem to be running up to it's specs.
    I've tried the following:
    -Reformatting and re-installing Windows and drivers
    -Scanning for viruses
    -Ensure up to date graphics drivers
    -Setting Power Options to High Performance in Windows
    -Setting my Nvidia graphics card as the default card used by my computer/specific games in the Nvidia Control Panel
    -Set Prefer maximum performance under Power management mode in the Nvidia Control Panel
    -Flashing BIOS with different versions
    Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Quote from: Gel;113494
    I have disabled both V-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel and in-game and the issue persists.
    Sorry for not making myself clear, I'm just saying that the 60/30 FPS is caused by the V-Sync.
    According to the Afterburner log files, there is no throttling on your GT70 0NC, so I'm not sure what's the issue you have now.
    Quote
    overall FPS seems low when comparing my specs to a games system requirements.
    If you're talking about the FPS score, I'd suggest to download the 3DMark 11 and run the P-score. The result will show you if there is a problem of the graphics or not.
    It would be necessary to know the graphics driver version you're using.

  • MSI GE70 FPS Drops + Lag Spikes

    Hey there everybody and msi's readers.
    My problem is :
    I bought my MSI GE70 one month ago ( i7 4700 HQ, GTX 860M )
    I'm a League of legend player, and a CSGO player. I bought this laptop either for playing games and working ( using autocad and other construction stuff )
    By the way, Since i get it, when i'm playing CSGO every minute or about, i got my laptop heavily lagging but my ping still at 30. I suppose, FPS Drop ( i already read a subject about it on this forum, i tried to put the thing @ 99% instead of 100% and trying to see if there was nothing running on the background that may give me these fps drops, by the way it didnt change anything )
    The second point thats not on CSGO, on League of legend, every minute too or about, i dont got any fps drop but a heavy lag spike during 2/3 seconds, then the ping comes back to normal.
    I'm a bit worried about it, there probably might me something to do on my laptop to fix these but i'm not an expert on it so please if anyone got any solutions can you help me ?
    By the way, on the post that i read about someone having the same problem on CSGO, he was using a program that gave him his FPS, his GPU's heat and others stuff, may i have the program name please so i can give you more information on what happen when FPS Drop arrives on CSGO.
    Thanks everyone who provides me help
    And sorry for my english, i tried make it as clearly as i could by the way i'm not english  .
    If anyone that can help me about this dont understand what i mean in some points please ask me i will be pleased to answer for any helps haha

    i saw your post and i'm going to try it as soon as i can ( probably tomorow night ) but i got a question, i got FPS Drop on CSGo ok, thats a problem many guys have with msi's GTX 860 M GPU ok meh, i also got something on League of Legend, i got a heavy lag spike ( about 300 ms ) during 3 / 4 seconds, then its coming back to 40 ms.  Should i also try out, by reducing my GPU's temperature ( as you did in your post ) and try to see if it may do something for my League of legend lag spike aswell ? or might this come from an other problem on my laptop ?. i already tried to get Killer Lan network last update and it didnt change anything. I checked all of my drivers update about internets ( wifi card etc... ), all is updated. By the way, my lag spikes frequency goes as my FPS Drops on CSGo, about every 1 / 2 minuts, i just wonder, if it comes from my GPU, why on CSGo i got fps drop because gpu is hot meanwhile on League i got lag spikes to manifest my gpu's overheating ?  Strange thing.
    To be honest the heavily thing i'm mad of is that i played before on a Toshiba, with a simply cuda nvidia GPU, intel core i5, i had 30 fps on league of legend but never had any lag spikes. I also had 40 / 50 fps on CSGo but never had any problems like fps drop. I wonder why the hell are these MSI called " Gaming laptop ", if with a simple working notebook that may be only viable " for working on microsoft word " i got less problems ( A simple toshiba notebook by the way that cost 1/3 of this MSI's price . )
    By the way panni i'm going to try your idea out tomorow and i'll tell you the result as soon as possible for CSGo.
    Anyway if you got an other idea to help me for my lag spikes on league of legend i would be happy to hear you you'r free to PM me or we could even talk ( skype / teamspeak ) if you got something for me.
    Thank you very much for your precious help
