Hey guys,
I just received my MSI GS70 yesterday and have been going through initial setup etc. While it is running I have noticed a quiet beeping/whistling noise that reminds me of morse code which seems to be coming from under the power button area. It is distinct from the fan and lasts a couple seconds here and there. Is anyone else experiencing this or know what it is/if it's normal?
Thanks -
hey everyone. i been lurking on this thread for a while now and pulled the trigger and got myself a gs70. i love it. i have one problem tho. im all updated and current, bios, drivers, the works. even 8.1. my problem is that im not getting a wireless networks showing up to connect to i know its there cause im on it with other devices. im plugged into the ethernet and i have internet. the laptop just not finding wireless. any help would be appreciated. thanks guys
little more info... in device manager the killer wireless-n adapter is working correctly. i downloaded the drivers from MSI and the the killer website. tried both and both do the same thing.
edit..well after being really annoyed and frustrated i decided to check services.msc..and low and behold WLAN Autoconfig was disabled for some reason, dont know why...but set it to automatic, started it and it worked -

Recommend this gets mentioned on the first page of the thread!Freeknz likes this. -
Dose it get louder when the laptop is under load? (Gaming, stress testing ect?) -
I have yet to update the BIOS on my unit yet but I believe there is a option of some kind in the BIOS itself, press DELETE on start-up to access the BIOS. -

Is the only other noise that you can hear coming from the front bottom left? (facing the laptop) sound like it could be the HDD..Kevin@GenTechPC likes this. -
About to place my order for a GS70, just wondering about putting Windows 7 on. Are all up to date drivers for W7 available? Is there anything special I need to do in order to keep the SSDs RAID0 after formatting?

BIOS, EC, and Drivers (Select OS type).

For Win7, you will need to press & hold DEL to enter BIOS, and then change UEFI mode to LEGACY mode, or CSM if you wish to use GPT.
For RAID setup, you will need to copy the RAID driver onto USB flash drive, loadable through USB 2.0 port. -

Hey all I'm thinking of getting a GS70 in the next couple days, either that or something else. I have one question though,
I love dual fan laptops, which is why I am looking at this one right now but I just noticed the fans exhaust is out of the sides and not the rear?
How hot is the exhaust on the GPU side(left) ? Not how hot the gpu is but how hot is the exhaust. When I do play games my girlfriend likes to watch and sits on the left of me usually. I had a GE60 and it would be insanely hot on that side of the laptop even as much as 3 feet away. Is this one's exhaust that bad also?
Thanks everyone in advance! -

When prompted, press CTRL + I to boot to Intel Rapid Storage Tech utility to create a disk array, such as RAID 0 or RAID 1.
Once created, then you can go about getting the OS installed + RAID driver on the USB flash drive @ USB 2.0 port.
But if you start playing games/watching video then the heat rises, and sure the fan will spin faster to reduce that heat, so the temperature will be warmer however still reasonable/acceptable.
It's not going to feel like that you are about to burn your fingers. -
came across one maybe two more issues/questions. i have the laptop plugged in. its at 99% but my battery light is flashing orange. when i first got the laptop a couple days ago i noticed it and unplugged the power and the laptop shut off. is something wrong? i haven't opened up Hybrid Power...not since i rebooted a few times. any info on that would be great.
another problem could be GS70 related, it could not. i play Counterstrike: Global Offensive. and every so often my game will freeze and stutter. Counter Strike 1.6 Persistent Lag Issue (Solved) - YouTube its like this. but it doesn't happen as much as that. the game will freeze and stutter and the sound will repeat the last sound a few times...if any of that makes sense. its not an internet issue cause im connected in voice clients and those work while the stutter happens. im going to try more games tomorrow to see what happens and maybe record some in fraps. it also could be just valve related and nothing to do with the laptop, but you never know. if anyone has this kind of issue or knows anything about it i would appreciate it
thanks ! -

Probably . but that's strange tho. Because we when its not blinking I'm able to unplug it and use the laptop normally. Thanks for your help Kevin. Really appreciate it -
Hey guys
I just received my GS70 ! And I already love it!
How should i proceed with my battery ? Do i need to run out of battery before to plug it ?
And someone can tell me how to update my bios ? I heard there is a firmware which fix the fans issues .!
So I bought a 1TB sata in order to put it in ? Do I only need to put it in in order to make it work ?
EDIT : I did update the BIOS and the firmware with the help from PDF from MSI.
How to be sure that I did correctly the updates ?
Is that normal that the boot of the pc is only 3sec but the turn off is like 15/20 sec ?
Thank you -

You should not cross-flash to a different version.
MSI Global GS70 STEALTH -
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, previously it was factory standard Windows 8. I then proceeded to Windows 8.1. Does that mean it would have been Windows 8 BIOS already installed? If so then i possibly might of cross-flashed.
I don't know which BIOS i previously had but i used this one for updating E1771IMS109.zip which is for Non-Raid due to the fact I only have a 128gb SSD and 1TB 7600rpm which isn't Raid.

So it depends on how you install Windows 7, if your Windows 7 was installed with CSM (boot from UEFI DVD and run Windows setup) then you can change BIOS from Legacy to EUFI + CSM, it boots without Bigfoot boot agent. -
What do you guys recomend me to do now. Leave it or flash Windows 8 BIOS or what?

Kevin@GenTechPC Company Representative
If it works then leave it alone for now. -
How do i check which BIOS i have?

Hi! I have a MSI GS70 barebone (same hardware) and would like to update the EC firmware for the updated fan table. I tried running the Winflash application but got an error message saying "wrong project". The computer was delivered without a OS (I am running windows 8.1), the BIOS version is "E1771IG6.509" and the EC version is "1771EG61 Ver5.05". How should i proceed to get the new EC firmware?

I also found a guide for updating the EC firmware on a barebone in The Official BAREBONER´s Lounge.
Just one last question, is it necessary to take out the battery after the EC firmware update? I dont want to open my laptop unless I absolutely have to. -

Merry Christmas! I just wanted to share a small Christmas present with you guys. The results of my Uni Heaven Benchmark with and without overclocking. As you can see I achieved a 23% gain that is stable The temps without OC are 72 C the temps with OC are 75 C.
Left is without OC obviously...My core clock is upped at 1035mhz and my memory clock is at 3000mhz with OC -

Simply insert a tiny pin/needle to perform EC reset then the new version of EC will take effects.
