Is that normal ?
Thank you -
So our graphics card essentially becomes a gtx 770m! -
Just ordered my GS70. Newegg has their specific model with the 500GB hard drive and 12GB of ram for 1200 open box.I had to google to find it as it is only showing sold out if you follow links on their sites. Meaning it will post tomorrow and they go fast last time they lasted a day and I missed it... Not this time
-

BTW looks like this is the highest valid result for a single 765m gtx score on the 3dmark ranking list. Just goes to show the potential of our beastly laptop! -

I've updated my BIOS now although the BIOS dated is 03/12/2013(even though the site says 17/12/2013)? and the fan noise hasn't gone down at all in idle. And I downloaded the latest version...
Anyone got any clues?
This is what it shows after flashing

Have you repasted? What are your idle temps by the way (CPU) -

Hello. Recently got the GS70 (earlier today). I was wondering if I can revert the firmware back for the fan floor? I went and updated everything in the Windows 8.1 update page. The fan does indeed work less, but I do not like how it stops and starts now. It appears I am hovering right around the new floor.
Also when I ran the firmware update the fans went on the fritz and after restart my battery light was flashing red. Pulled plug when it came back on since the light was still flashing, but it shut off immediately due to a power lsoss. Windows sees the battery but the light is now off. -
I'm having a problem with the BurnRecovery, it doesn't seem to detect the flash drive I've inserted.
It required me with a 14.2 GB flash drive and i'm using a 14.9 GB (16GB), so i'm guessing its enough.
I've formatted the flash drive and all but the Program BurnRecovery doesn't detect it.
can someone help me with this? -
I've posted this in another thread under Accessories, but just saw an official msi gs70 thread so just wanted to ask..
did any of you gs70 owners had a problem with a keyboard USB? specifically razer blackwidow tournament edition where it says "USB device not recognized" full description of my problem is in this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/accessories/741219-razer-blackwidow-te-usb-not-recognized.html
I've came to conclusion that the fault is in my laptop and not the keyboard, assuming driver fault.. but still cant go around it :S
PS: in response to janbolim about BurnRecovery, yea I also had the exact same problem with a usb 3.0 Sony 64gb flash disk
EDIT: most of the solved answers I found was to unplug my laptop and remove the battery for few mins, only problem with my laptop is I cant remove the battery as its built-in. -

EDIT: tried it, didn't work :'( -
I have a K70 keyboard and no problem to plug it.

Without doing the EC reset, the EC version stays the same.
Did you test the keyboard with every USB port? -
EDIT: Solved! it appears that razer blackwidow tournament edition does "not" function with OS Windows 8 with intel usb 3.0, in which case our laptops is made this way (unless its win 7 or Microsoft can use their own drivers for the usb ports) or so that's what they explained to me. However, razer blackwidow ultimate 2013 works and the store kindly replaced my keyboard with another version. compatibility sure sucks -

Just got one of these, trying to put windows 7 on it and get rid of windows 8 all together, I have windows 7 on a bootable USB drive and have changed the BIOS to UEFI with CSM, when I hit f11, I chose the jump drive and it will either boot the hard drive and boot to windows 8 or it will just go into the bios, if I have the windows 8 drive not as a boot option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
where could I get all the old BIOS and Firmware versions for the GS70?
The updated fan table firmware results to boost the fan up and down. Normally only while playing games the fan is boosted in that way...
thanks & regards, -

When I game (DOTA 2) my temps for my CPU can go up to 80C and GPU 70 - 80C also, granted I am gaming on my lap/duvet which probably doesn't help -
I have the single SSD version of the GS70 - just bought a Samsung 128GB msata SSD to add as the second.
Before I change it into RAID-0 I wanted to make sure the SSD was okay (is a refurbished one). I just installed the SSD, booted up (no changes to BIOS or anything) and I can't see the new drive in Win 8. Is this to be expected? Do I have to make a BIOS or driver change for the drive to be recognised? -

Just a tip - if you are wanting a quieter laptop and less heat you can disable your cpu from going into turbo mode by limiting the CPU maximum state to anything but 100 in the advanced power options... (e.g. 99) - fan spins up much less and I cannot notice a difference in performance in games..

Do you have a "d" partition or something??? The flash drive must be "d:"
Dumb program -

I saw someone post that having an SSD instead of HDD saves ~30min of battery power, is that true? That would bolster the use of this laptop even more =)!
If so I'm thinking of replacing the 750gb HDD to a ~240gb SSD. Not sure which one is the best, too many options from xoticpc.
My other option is keeping the HDD and getting a second mSATA SSD on slot 2, but I would like to get some opinion on what's the best options considering battery power and speed (I have an extra $500 to toss in so storage capacity isn't a problem for me.) -

P.S. Those who tried it how's the speed going on using super raid vs single SSD on the stealth? (Their custom x2 mSATA SSD) -

Hi,
Is anyone else having trouble getting the build-in microphone to work?
The computer recognizes the microphone but I can't seem to get it to record any voice.
Am I missing a driver or is it just faulty?
Anyone help would be appreciated.

Hello everypony, has anyone tried using the recovery partition on their notebook yet? I haven't needed to use mine but i cannot find the windows key sticker that you usually find on the machine so am unsure whether i need it or not. Is there supposed to be a sticker on the device or is it filled in automatically when you recover? I want to dual boot Sabayon/Manjaro linux and windows but given the raid and everything want to be able to recover my windows partition easily if it all goes wrong.
Also am I totally missing the obvious disc drive or is it just incredibly short sighted that they put a driver cd in the box? -

OS Recovery
F3 Recovery via BIOS
Additionally, you should create the Recovery DVD media using MSI BurnRecovery utility.
Press Start key, and then search for MSI BurnRecovery utility, then you can execute it and follow on-screen instructions.LunaRose likes this. -
So they don't give you the key with the system?
This seems problematic if one loses their recovery partition for whatever reason.
Oh well, I guess ill get a portable hdd tomorrow and just image my os drives. -

Once the correct OS is restored onto the HDD then it will become activated once the system connects to the internet. -
With the 001US version I bought the 128GB Plextor PX-M5M SSD on 2nd slot. I hope I made the right choice. I heard horrible stories about the 128GB Samsung PM841 model, and on xoticpc the other 128GB model is just called 128GB Solid State, not really sure what model that is.
I'll also switch out the 750gb HDD for another 128gb SSD in the future to save some battery power & more speed. Ahh, can't wait for it to come! -
Thanks for answering my questions. Still confused by the driver cd that came with my laptop (20D-246UK model) as i have no optical drive but i guess i can share the one from my desktop if need be or just download the drivers off the site.

You would need the disc for convenience reasons if you were going to reload the OS in places without (fast) internet connection, however you could copy the files onto USB HDD from the DVD on other computer, or acquire the external USB ODD.
