Gonna chime in even though I’m in the GS65 group.
I had a 970 Evo 500GB and a 960 Evo 1TB. They’re fast drives.
However, I recently switched both of them out for (2) 2TB Intel 660p drives. I see and feel NO DIFFERENCE in boot and game loading speeds. The only issue I found is when I copy a lot of files/folders over to the drive. After about 50GB, the drives write speeds take a dump. If you’re constantly writing stuff over 50GB to the drive, then you’re gonna have performance issues. But if you’re just using it to play games and stuff, you’ll be fine.
I bring this up because I spent $440 USD for both drives while a 1TB Evo will set you back $250 USD.
Also, go for dual channel memory. Single channel will bottleneck your CPU performance.

You have definitely answered the question for the performance drives. The only issues with the intel over the samsung is QLC I think. I don't think they are designed to perform or last as long as the Samsungs (I might be wrong).
I was told that the GS75 only supports 2 NVME drives and the 3rd slot is for a normal SATA m2 drive. Anyone played with this yet? Any recommendations for cheap large stuff to put in there?
I will probably get the intel or the samesung for game storage and then something big for photo etc.. -
And the GS75 has 3 M.2 slots, 2 are NVME while the 3rd is SSD.

For $300 AUD I can get a 1 TB Evo 970 plus. I might not need it, but I just spent 3k on a laptop, what is another 300! If I need more space, I will go get a 1tb 860 for the SATA slot. Is the drive that comes with it any good?
-
I went for a 1TB 970Evo + a 1TB 860 Evo in Sata and kept the original 512 nvme as a Cache drive.SinkyPitGuy likes this. -
I ended up getting the intel 760p. I haven't seen any reviews.
It is NVME though, so should be plenty fast for what I need.
Which slot is the NVME and which is SATA? I couldn't see a label inside? -

Anyone else dealing with some pretty major warping on their screen? Mine has about 1mm or 2mm gap between the base of the laptop and the screen just to the left of the middle.
Edit: @Kevin@GenTechPC -- I'm looking to return this model and maybe buy from GenTech -- any input on warping GS75 vs GS65Last edited: Mar 21, 2019Kevin@GenTechPC likes this. -
Have any of yall been able to run Battlefield V (promo game with purchase)? Every time I launch it, it just opens a black window then says "Not Responding". I've been troubleshooting the issue for awhile with no solution.

I just ran this on my old, pretty much stock GS65 with 1070MQ: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/34753003. Makes the GS75 2060 look even better. -

im kinda missing my gs75 right now :c was debating if i should get it back, but i told myself, only until someone else gave conclusive evidence as well as a solution to the lackluster performance of the 2070max q in the gs75. need more data :c
that said, if anyone else is willing to test this, try reinstalling msi dragon center from the one on msi's website and entering the turbo mode within the utility. post the firestrike scores before and after. i want to see what the effect is. i got a pretty big boost in performance (~5%) when i did that. im wondering if it was just the overclock (which apparently only the dragon center 2 overclock had an effect, and my afterburner overclock just made my system unstable), or if it really is something else being locked by dragon center.

Hey guys, have a question. I recently bought GS75 8SF, the 2070 version, with dual channel ram. Here is my 3dmark results (Full stock, not undervolted, not OC’d via MSI Dragon center) https://www.3dmark.com/fs/18671239
The result is ok, but the temps of the GPU during physics test and combined test, was scary. According to 3dmark monitoring, GPU reaches about 88-89c. Have to mention that I had run HWmonitor while did the 3dmark, and according to HWmonitor, the max GPU temp was about 69-70c, which is normal, and this is actually the temp I have while gaming.
So what is wrong? -

A couple examples of the actual performance I’m receiving:
Notebook Check scores
My scores
Division 2, Ultra Preset, 1080p
NBC - 69 FPS
Me - 83 FPS
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Highest Preset 1080p
NBC - 75 FPS
Me - 91 FPS
Metro Exodus Ultra Preset, 1080p
NBC - 47 FPS
Me - 52 FPS
This is with the 80w variant in my GS65. Now, some reviewers might be getting lower scores due to single channel configs in their review units, but using driver slimmer has helped many of us in the GS65 forum regain performance that was lost. This is for all RTX cards.

I don’t know about gaming performance either, maybe someone can chime in.

Just got my GS75 yesterday. I took it apart and upgraded it to 32GB of memory so I wouldn't have to go in again. With LM repaste and undervolt, in games I'm never getting above mid-80's for GPU temps, with average in mid- to upper-60's. This laptop is sweet! Loving it so far.
-
My GPU temps are fine from what I can tell, it's the CPU that likes to crank up to 90°

Hi Team GS75, New annoyance for me.
I can't remember if it was there before, but once I've installed the SSD, I get a squeak around the right hand side (near USB ports).
I tightened it up to try and get rid of it, but no luck. It is annoying!!
Anyone else got this experience? -
What CPU and GPU temperatures are you guys getting after undervolt?

Man I hope I can play with my GS75 soon. Work has been a pain!

At 5PM every work day for the next year, you can take the rest of the day off. You deserve it. Congrats.
Approved.
Now play with that laptop and give us your impressions!

But works is almost done, and I can finally see the light. And I am getting curious to try this new sexy machine.custom90gt and Kevin@GenTechPC like this. -

Okay, after having this for almost a week, almost everything is working fine with the exception of the battery. For some reason it says it's plugged in but also says "not charging". I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling battery drivers but it doesn't help. My next step will be to take the bottom off again and disconnect the battery from the motherboard and reconnect (maybe it's not seated well?). If that doesn't work I'm afraid I have some sort of battery power issue. Power brick works fine but I want to be able to carry this around without the adapter sometimes for light work. Anyone else had issues like this before?

Got my 2060 model with 2x8gb ram and Kryonaut repaste on CPU and GPU a few days ago and have been playing around with light optimization.
Here are my Cinebench R15 results after a -165 mV undervolt of CPU core and cache, and a -82 mV undervolt of the integrated graphics (used ThrottleStop):
Score: 1247
Max temperature: 76C
Very happy with this, haven’t tried any games yet though. Speaking of which, I’ve 3 questions:
1. How do I claim my free game that comes with the RTX card?
2. My keyboard backlighting is acting up, I’m stuck on Aqua and no matter what I change in the SteelSeries Engine 3, it stays Aqua. I can’t even disable it, what should I do?
3. When I plug in the power cord, it tells me “plugged in but not charging”. Does anyone else have this, or know how to fix it without disconnecting the battery?Last edited: Mar 28, 2019 -
Best for battery will stop it charging to 100% You want best for mobility if you want to fully charge it.
To claim your free game you should open Geforce Experience make sure you are signed in, hit the drop down box in the top right where your username is and hit redeem.
You should get a code from the place you bought the laptop from, in an email if online or on the receipt if you bought in store.Kevin@GenTechPC, Weaboo1917 and SinkyPitGuy like this. -
