Windows 8 in MSI GT683DXR VGA (turbo mode)

Upgraded to Windows 8 Pro, (love it )
But for some reason the VGA over-clock mode isn't working at all.
I really hope I can find an answer here.
Sincerely,
Mr. Diaz
UPDATE
Installing System Control Manager, did it and that fixed the problem

Great you found the solution and thanks for reporting back!

MSI GT780DX P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds

Hello ! In my MSI GT780DX (I5, gtx570m 1.5GB, Windows 7 x64 pro, charger ON) P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds (aimation from s-bar)
Everything work fine, until install the new driver for GPU from nvidia, v320, and give me problem whit P1 mode.
I'm uninstall the driver, and instal old, no fix, I'm uninstall all driver MSI (nvidia overclok tool, s-bar, afterburner, nvidia drivers) ,and install it again, no fix problem, still P1 "TURBO MODE" automatically off in few seconds ;/
curiosity:
For more GPU clok (700MHZ)and memory (1700), I run "nvidia inspector",only open "show overcloking",and "Driver profile" , nothing change ! Then run afterburner , and set gpu clok to 700Mhz, memory clok 1700, aply, and in game it's run gpu to 700Mhz, no pressing P1 button !!
But I want to press only P1 button for more gpu clok...
sorry for bad english.

For anyone that needs help setting the overclock tool to run at startup, just set a task to run the tool with admin priveleges at user login with the task scheduler.
Can confirm this works for me, I can now use my turbo button and change brightness without SCM crashing on the latest Nvidia drivers (331.65).

GX660 laptop Bluetooth and Turbo Mode issues

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to Windows 8 64 bit and have got everything working perfectly except for my bluetooth facilities. Have tried using the latest Win 7 ones from the MSI website but no joy. They install, and it seems in Services that bluetooth is running but am unable to transfer any files to or from the laptop and it doesn't broadcast that a bluetooth signal is available when I try and pair it with my mobile phone.
The other issue I have is the facilites such as Turbo Mode don't work. When the lightup keys are pressed nothing happens. Have tried installing the System Control drivers from the MSI website for Win 7 but no joy again.
Would be grateful to any solution to these issues as I have in the meantime had to revert back to Win 7

Your notebook is not verified to be upgradeable with Win8 by MSI (http://event.msi.com/2012/windows8/index.html). Therefor MSI doesn't provide drivers or any Win 8 support for that model.
For Bluetooth it misses a Radio switch driver which is crucial for Bluetooth to work in Win8 while the rest of your problems are related to a lacking SCM version for Win8 and your notebook model.

Tweaking Turbo Mode

I've been reading through all these threads trying to come to grips with all the new features available in the Z77A-GD65 BIOS because I haven't overclocked in several years. In that time I'm afraid I've lost what little mojo I had in that regard. I originally wanted to just overclock all 4 cores manually and leave it at that since I know the CPU I have can handle 4.8GHz very easily. (I had it on my P67A-GD65 for about 2 years at 4.8 with no problems)
Sure...I could take the time to research each of these settings on my system, but I would prefer not to burn up my new motherboard and CPU.
As I said previously, I'd just manually overclock my CPU to the highest level possible and leave it there, but when I got this Z77A-GD65 this "Turbo mode" thing has me intrigued...
It seems to be enabled on my board and my CPU goes as high as 3.8GHz when running Unengine Valley.
As I was reading through one of the other threads I saw Froggy mention the Turbo method of overclocking. Can someone educate me on how to set that up on the Z77A-GD65?
Currently, Turbo increases my clockspeed to 3.8GHz, but no higher even when I set the CPU Multiplier to 40 in BIOS.
I used to run this 2600K CPU on my P67A-GD65 and I know for a fact it will do 4.8GHz at 1.31v and never see north of 75°C under stress testing (Intel Burn Test, High Stress Mode, 30 passes)
I would prefer to use Turbo Mode on this board instead of a manual overclock, but I am unsure what needs to be changed in BIOS.
If someone would be kind enough to explain how to change my turbo modes to the following, I'd appreciate it.
1 Core - 4.6GHz
2 Core - 4.5GHz
3 Core - 4.5GHz
4 Core - 4.5GHz
I saw one of Froggy's posts where he states the following:
Quote
For PLL, I use 1.82-1.84v's range. I/O 1.07v's. SA 0.965-0.970v's range. The industry recommended maximum for the CPU V. on an everyday machine is not to exceed 1.400v's. Do not go by the Intel maximum, as that is the 'absolute' maximum. Between 1.400v's and 1.52v's, you can expect degradation. Difficult to predict the severity as each Intel CPU is somewhat unique in that regard. CPU temperature, try to keep it around low 70C's or less under full load.
but I don't knwo what half the acronyms mean since I haven't overclocked in so long.
Enable PLL Overvolting (1.82v-1.84v) I understand
I/O - ???
SA - ???
CPU V - 1.32v should be way more than enough for my cpu based on what it used to be set to in my P67A-GD65
I know this CPU can handle the speed increase, I just need some assistance getting there since there are about a gazillion more features in this BIOS than there were in my P67A.
One caveat: I do not use Control Center. I have never had any luck whatsoever with that program and it has, in fact, caused me more headaches than it has cured.
I have tools like CPUZ, GPUZ, Core Temp, and Corsair Link for my monitoring needs.

Using the Turbo method, you usually leave all voltages and the cpu multiplier at "auto".
The Turbo Multiplier setting are in CPU Features
See examples here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
Thanks for the quick response!
If I understand your screenshots (I'm at work not in front of my gaming box) I should make the following changes in my BIOS
Adjust CPU Ratio - Auto
Adjust CPU Ratio in OS – Disabled
Internal PLL Overvoltage – Enabled
EIST – Enabled
Turbo Boost – Enabled
Enhanced Turbo – Disabled
OC Genie Function – By Onboard Button
My OC Genie – Disabled
DRAM Frequency – DDR3 2133MHz (Note to Self: Test your RAM to see if it will run at [email protected]) (It's Kingston HyperX Beast 2400MHz spec'd to run at 1.6 but it's at 1.55v in BIOS at 1333MHz. I could leave it there if needed)
Extreme Memory Profile – Disabled
DRAM Timing – Link
VDroop – +75% or +87.5% or +100% (Depending on my particular CPU)
Digital Compensation Level – High
CPU Core OCP Expander – Default
Core Switching Freq – Auto
CPU Core Voltage – auto
CPU I/O Voltage – Auto
DRAM Voltage – 1.55-1.57 at MOST)
System Agent Voltage (Found what SA means! lol) – Auto
Active Processor Cores – All
Limit CPUID Max – Disabled
Execute Disable Bit – Enabled
Power Technology - Custom
C1E Support – Enabled (Disabled on XMAD’s screenshot by accident)
Overspeed Protection – Disabled
Intel C State – Enabled
Package C State Limit – Auto
LDPM – 255
LDM – 2
SDPM – 255
PPCL – 1024
SPCL – 32
PPTPL – 0
SPTPL – 0
1 through 4 core Ratio Limit – 46,45,45,45 (I think these settings are for the Turbo's max setting so set to 4.5GHz for 4 cores, and 4.6 for one)

Thinkpad T420s - is it safe to run the CPU on PM 'Maximum Turbo' mode 24/7?

Hi guys,
I have been playing around with Power manager system settings and observed following core frequency behaviour:
Maximum Turbo - clocks all cores close to their Turbo Frequency (3.2GHz on mine) and they stay there, regardless if
                             under load or not
Turbo - frequency jumps between 2.4GHz and 3.2GHz
           - under load jumps to 3.2GHz and stays there (while under load)
Balanced - frequency jumps between 2.2GHz and 2.7Ghz
                 - under load jumps to 2.7GHz and stays there (while under load)
Low - frequency locked to 800Mhz, regardless if under load or not
First, I would like to ask for confirmation if this is really how it should work, and/or if someone is able to observe different behaviour.
Secondly, there is virtually NOTHING in the PM documentation that describes these parameters and what they do!
My main question: How safe is it to use the Maximum Turbo mode 24/7?
I can imagine that this CPU was not designed to run on 3.2GHz 24/7 and that the Turbo Boost is expected to occur only ocassionally.
Even if I choose to ignore the heat factor, would this mean increased wear on CPU?
Could the 'Turbo' mode be regarded as safe?
After some extensive testing, I can really see performance boost between 'Balanced' (which doesn't use Turbo) and 'Turbo'.
What I don't understand is why 'Turbo' seems to be jumping to Turbo Frequency, when the CPU is idle.
I would appreciate any comments and observations.
many thanks
//Matt
I used HWInfo64 to observe the CPU frequency and Prime95 to generate the load
CPU: Intel Core i7-2620M
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the T420s with the Core i5 processor. My observations are similar to yours, except when I'm on the Balanced and Turbo settings, the frequency drops to 800mhz when the CPU is not under load.
There is one option you forgot to describe: the "Lenovo Turbo Boost+" option in the power manager. This option appears to lock the fan at a high RPM to cool the CPU more quickly. This would reduce any thermal throttling when running at high clock speeds for a long period of time.
Regarding why "Turbo seems to be jumping to Turbo Frequency when the CPU is idle", please note that your CPU is never completely idle. WIndows and its applications run many processes and tasks in the background, and it is normal to see a burst of CPU activity every couple of seconds. To observe this, download the "Sysinternals process monitor" utility and watch all of the background activity that occurs.
Regarding the increased wear on CPU, running at high temperatures reduces the lifetime of electronic components. There are no problems other than the "heat factor", but excessive heat can be a significant problem.

MSI GE70 ONC Turbo button not working

Good monring.
My question is MSI GE70 ONC i buy this laptop 1 day ago , it beguile such problem with not act Turbo button, I have installed SB and further just the same , i just dont know why. Maybe can you help me ? AH and when i try button this turbo , then opeing my IE futuremark.com hmm interesting ;/

Quote from: ciomasta on 06-November-12, 22:56:57
S-Bar 2.0 .
Model GE70 CND is manual turbo mode or automatical same at GE70 ONC ?
in both models Turbo will auto light when dedicated card is used,
and will auto turn off when its not used.

Boot freeze with 6600gt on k8t800 neo fis2r in turbo mode

Hi, thought i would seek a little advice before i decide to just build a new system and burn this one where it stands,
when i first built my PC i had;
amd athlon 64 3000+
msi k8t neo-fis2r mobo
1gb ddr 400 ram
2 x 160gb hdd
dvd & dvd-rw
550w psu
then the part i regreted most nvidia fx 5200 128mb agp.
had everything setup nicely and had my bios set on turbo mode - seemed to make a noticable difference. then i decided to stop being cheap and bought a new gfx card, sparkle 6600gt 128mb agp 8x and at the same time i got a new case which has a 350w - 450w max PSU (arctic cooling Silentium T1). ever since that i cant enable turbo mode in my bios, otherwise it just does memory test and stops without detecting devices. i press del to enter bios setup but it just changes the del: bios to go> bios and does nothing else. so i have to clear cmos and start again
so my instict is either telling me
a) gfx card stopping motherboard running in turbo
b) psu too puny
which of these would it be likely to be if anyone can help me out. ive rolled my bios back to v1.0 which was used when the turbo mode was fine and the problem is still persisting and ive been through every version inbetween back upto 2.2. the system works fine in fast mode, i would just prefer turbo mode because it did make a significant difference for playing games, boot time, movie editing etc.
thanks for any help,
Phyre

It may well be the Sparkle Vid Card. I have heard a ton of complains of late about them. I am not that familiar with those particular cards or even the brand. You may want to do some checking around... Guru3d may be a great place to start as graphics cards are their primary discussion topics. Also use Google to see what others are saying about them.
I agree that the 5299's are pretty lame these days for gaming. It's a great card if your primary concern is productivity but todays games can use it but mostly at low res with few features or levels of detail without a huge hit in frame rates.

UNABLE or CAN NOT Install Printer, Windows 8 calls it a Kernel Mode Driver

Very similar to
this thread.
None of the provided solutions work. I wish I could get a screenshot, but this is a computer I was working on for a friend and won't be back there for a couple of days.
Things I have tried:
Download absolute latest Windows 8 x64 Driver from HP's website for the specific printer in question (hp laserjet pro color m251nw). Tried both "driver only" and "full installation" downloads.
Told Windows to use a driver from Windows Update.
There is no Citrix based application to uninstall anywhere on the computer.
The computer is Windows 8 "standard" - so using GPEdit to Disable "Disallow installation of kernel-mode printer drivers" was not an option (although I did use a
3rd party GPEditor to try to modify this setting anyway, to no avail).
I used Advanced Startup to boot without Driver Signature Verification.
Disabled Anti-Virus software to ensure it wasn't preventing installation.
I ensured the local user on the computer had full permissions to the Devices and Printers menu.
I tried to install everything using "Right Click / Run as Administrator"
I tried to install using both Windows 7 and XP SP3 Compatibility Modes.
I have ensured there are no files in the Print Spools folder (C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers\). and reset the print spooler.
I am able to ping the network printer and it prints test pages, I do not believe there to be a problem with the printer itself, just some strange setting causing me all of these problems.
HELP! I'm an IT Pro but I spent 3 hours on this and I'm not used to being utterly defeated!
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!!!!
Don't forget, if you find the help you need, click the "Propose as Answer" link at the bottom of the post containing the solution!
NuAngel.net

I wish I could get a screenshot
What are the chances of it being a bogus message? For that reason and others I would be running ProcMon to find, correlate and supplement any and all diagnostics which are being produced. Filter with Operation Is WriteFile. You
need to infer which WriteFile corresponds with which message but that is relatively easy because the Detail contains a close approximation to each message's length. In any case, you get to see all the files that were involved and easy access to
them.
Good luck

MSI GT683DXR - HOW TO SWITCH TO RAID?

Hi everyone,
I'm inclined to switch to RAID 0 on my MSI GT683DXR. (It's the French model but I've put an English Keyboard in). I have 2x 750GB Hard Drives inside. I would very much appreciate if somebody could guide me on how to go about the process. I've had a look online for quite a while now but haven't managed to find a walkthrough for my request.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

I did indeed think that, however as I bought it in a Private sale, I'm not sure about it's history. Is there any way I can identify if it is working RAID currently?
One thing I did run is the CrystalDiskMark test and the results I got were as follows:
Read Speed: 78.50 MB/s
Write Speed: 74.54 MB/s
This is very slow compared to another similar test carried out on a RAID GT683DXR. In which the user got above 200MB/s for both the Read & Write speed.
Also, Thanks for the reply.

Windows Server 2012/2012R2 NIC Teaming Mode

Hi,
Question 1:
In Windows Server 2012 the following teaming mode was recommended for Hyper-V NIC teams:
Teaming mode: Switch Independent
Load balancing mode: Hyper-V Port
All Adapers Active
In a session at TechEd 2014 it was stated that Dynamic is the new recommendation for Windows Server 2012 R2. However, a Microsoft PFE stated a few weeks ago that he would still recommend Hyper-V Port for Windows Server 2012 R2. What is your opinions around
this?
Question 2:
We have a Hyper-V Failover Cluster which isn`t migrated to 2012 R2 yet, it`s running 2012. In this cluster we use Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port for the team. We also use converged networking, having 2 physical adapters bound to the NIC team, as well as
3 virtual adapters in the management OS for management, CSV and Live Migration. Recently one of the team NICs failed, and this incident also caused the cluster membership on the affected node to go offline even though the other team NIC was
connected. Is this expected behaviour? Would the behaviour be different if 2012 R2 with Dynamic mode was being used?

Hello,
As for question number 1:
For Hyper-V workload it's recommended to use Dynamic with
Switch Independent mode. Why?
This configuration will distribute the load based on the TCP Ports address hash as modified by the Dynamic load balancing algorithm. The Dynamic load balancing algorithm will redistribute flows to optimize team member bandwidth utilization so individual
flow transmissions may move from one active team member to another. The algorithm takes into account the small possibility that redistributing traffic could cause out-of-order delivery of packets so it takes steps to minimize that possibility.
The receive side, however, will look identical to Hyper-V Port distribution. Each Hyper-V switch port’s traffic, whether bound for a virtual NIC in a VM (vmNIC) or a virtual NIC in the host (vNIC), will see all its inbound traffic arriving on a single
NIC.
This mode is best used for teaming in both native and Hyper-V environments except when:
1) Teaming is being performed in a VM,
2) Switch dependent teaming (e.g., LACP) is required by policy, or
3) Operation of a two-member Active/Standby team is required by policy.
As for question number 2:
The Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port will send packets using all active team members distributing the load based on the Hyper-V switch port number. Each Hyper-V port will be bandwidth limited to not more than one team member’s bandwidth because the port
is affinitized to exactly one team member at any point in time.
In all cases where this configuration was recommended back in Windows Server 2012 the new configuration in 2012 R2, Switch Independent/Dynamic, will provide better performance.
Microsoft recommend for a clustered Hyper-V deployment
in Windows server 2012 to use Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port as you mentioned and to configure
Hyper-V QoS that applies to the virtual switch. (Configure minimum bandwidth in
weight mode instead of in bits per second and Enable and configure QoS
for all virtual network adapters
Did you apply QoS on the Converged vSwitch after you
created the team?? However Nodes are considered down if they do not respond to 5 heartbeats. The Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port does not cause the cluster to goes down if one NIC failed. The issue is somewhere else and not in the teaming mode
that you choose.
Hope this help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Windows Installer (MSI 5.0) fails with ERROR 1939 during "MsiConfigureServices" action

When trying to install a setup package using the new MSI 5.0 features of Windows Service Configuration (using Tables: MsiServiceConfig / MsiServiceConfigFailureActions)
the service config fails and results in a rollback.
The service itself is installed along with the same package under "LocalSystem" account.
Regarding MSDN, these feature does have some limitations, but I am not shure if they are applicable here:
"The services configuration feature of the Windows Installer cannot configure network service accounts, install shared service host (svchost) processes, or restart services stopped as part of the installation"
(see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd408113(v=vs.85).aspx )
I have tried this with serveral variations on the failure actions count and type.
Using SC_ACTION_NONE or SC_ACTION_RUN_COMMAND actions indeed work and lead to a successful install.
Can you tell, why SC_ACTION_RESTART or SC_ACTION_REBOOT does not work fine?
PS: The guys on MS Connect didn't want so solve that issue ;-)
