*** The Official MSI GT75 Owners and Discussions Lounge ***

The only one modification I can afford is MSI GT75VR 7RF-056 titan pro. It doesn't have QHD (only fhd) and only 16gb ram, I think it's enough for me.

 

as i wrote i got a good prize for this beauty otherwise i would buy the same GT75 which you want to buy.

 

Ah, so you are in Russia...now I understand why you might like the movie Fury!

 

actually, I even don't know why I have this picture ))

 

Have you not seen the movie from which it comes? FURY. It is not your ordinary war movie.

 

I've seen it, and yes, it's not, cause it's your ordinary movie. Our movies are about real war.

 

back to topic...
Gents must i expect an bios lock when i want to use the new 1550 Wireless Adapter in my Turdbook... (to many crazy guys here )
If not i would like to check if it work with all three MSI Turdbooks i owned..

 

It works just fine in your turdbook.
Just the Bios won't identify the adapter properly. Instead of the name appearing, the PCI ID string will appear instead.....

 

i want to buy it and the reseller told me that the new 1550 chip is only compatibel with coffe lake and intel chipset Z370 and not with my MSI which has only Z270...
ok, he want no money from me, so i wait a few days more.

To explain for other who don't know it.
There is the 1550 wich is related to the 9260 wireless chip from intel and then there are the 1550i and 1550s. both chips are related to the 9560 from intel and support the new wireless mode for the upcoming 2nd Generation of coffee lake cpus which will have the wireless chip in the cpu and not longer on a M.2 chip. this can save pcie lanes for other stuff.

if I'm wrong let me know it.

 

Hi, were you able to increase the maximum brightness after removing MSI True Color?

 

@Falkentyne you remember my last pic from testing with prime and the temps?
as recommend i run after 2 weeks a new prime95 test and have now 8-9° less then two weeks before.
i didn't change anything on my settings could this be possible?

 

Do you have your screenshot from 2 weeks ago?
8-9C lower on ALL cores is not possible unless:

1) you were not using 100% fan speed before and now you are
2) Ambient temps (room) are lower (ambient airflow temps have a direct influence on temps)

 

picture one in my previous post is two weeks ago and the second one is from today.
1. cooler boost was activated two weeks ago and today
2. ambient temps two weeks ago i don't know maybe 20-21° not more. today it is 21°.
and i use my Asus RoG Swift 27" for the new test.

 

If those are 2 weeks ago and current pictures,
It means the settings you are using are not identical.

In the first picture, CPU package power is 66W
Second picture, CPU package power is 53W.

That is why the temps are lower.

Something has changed in your setup.
Voltages?
Core IA AC DC loadline setting?

Neither of your pictures have the "VID" shown.
You need to show the VID so an estimation of the current voltage can be known.

Also did you change CPU Current Limit (ICCMax) / VR Current Limit in the Bios, to 800-1000 ?
If you did not, you are going to throttle with prime95.

You can check the Bios setting "VR Current Limit" anytime. Don't leave that at auto. Best to set value of 800. Don't go above 1000 or it will 'revert' to auto because of overflow.

But for the big difference in power draw, I don't know at all. If CPU mhz is exactly the same (3900 mhz?), then it means voltages are different. But you did not show VID in either screenshot so its impossible to know!

I can't even do a comparison prime run with my system because the starting voltage you are using has a direct influence on temps. Even if it's adaptive voltage, if you changed the IA AC DC loadline hidden Bios setting to "5" from the default of Auto, that is going to reduce load voltages by at least 100mv (there is some formula beyond me but 1.80 mOhms of resistance is the auto setting. So if the starting voltage is 1.1v, and there is 1.80 mOhms of resistance applied to it, the end voltage will be above 1.2v. Maybe someone else can figure that out).

 

omg... in germany we would say "Herr lass Hirn vom Himmel fallen". something like Lord let brain fall from the sky
...
i check my settings and i forget that i play around with the offset it was running with -100... after removing it and restart the test.
the temps:

 

There we go.

BTW I found out what the IA AC DC loadline setting is doing to people's voltages.

It uses milliohms of resistance.
How many milliohm in 1 ohm? The answer is 1000.

Intel reference value for this platform is 1.80 mOhms (Bios value=180 is the same as "Auto"). For Coffee Lake Z370, the reference value is 210 or 2.1 mOhms.

So, 1.8 milliohms = 1.8 / 1000 = 0.0018 Ohms.
So the way Ohms affects voltages is, if the amps is known (or estimated),
Amps x mOhms=vcore, which is added to starting vcore or VID.

So 80 Amps x .0018 = .144 volts.

So if your starting vcore is 1.08v, and you are pulling 80 amps of current, your resulting vcore will be 1.08 + 0.144= 1.224v

For 1.25v, that's 1.25v + .144=1.394v, if you are pulling 80 amps of current.

That's why you need the unlocked Bios and need to access that Core IA AC DC loadline setting, unless you are using adaptive voltage only since adaptive uses the default VID, and when overclocked, the CPU is never going to be stable on the default VID, which is the reason for the Intel reference value for these platforms).

Why they affect Static voltages, when they shouldn't, is anyone's guess.

 

im under the impression the MSI Gt75vr has a HDR display? how do you enable it? im also having a major stutter problem if anyone would have any experience with that id appreciate it. thanks!

 

ok i just fixed the stuttering issue, just reinstall driver, i purchased mine from HID evolution and im verry happy! does anyone here have any experience with overclocking there system? i overclocked it in the msi gaming center to max which is 41x and the GPU is 150mhz and mem 250mhz, my temps are still verry good and fans arent even hitting 50%! how much more do you think i can get out of it? and how come MSI after burner wont start up? keeps giving me a "missing side components" type of message.

 

I have just purchased this computer from hidevolution just waiting for it to arrive . Thanks Donald

How long do you think this computer will last me? Had to pay an arm and a leg.

Also how do I install ssds nvme on this?

 

Hey @Tailong how much are we talking about? I am also planning to buy this from HIDEvolution and I am situated in Germany.

This laptop should last you a good 4-5 years, according to me.

Installing the NVMe SSDs should not be hard. As far as I saw, the back panel can be easily removed and the slots are right there. Perhaps you can contact Donald in case of doubt.

 

About 3500 dollars

 

Request for owners:

Seeing GT75 in videos it looks a lot thicker at the back than the spec says... what’s the measured maximum height on the hinge side when it’s closed?

 

the ruler says it is 58mm or 2,28346 inches (don't know what is more importent for you @Asleep)

 

Probably I'm willing to bet they just used the same spec listing for the GT73VR. While the heatsinks are the exact same, there's minor dimension changes to accommodate the short throw mechanical keyboard, and the power/GPU LED looks different too. Very highly likely the MS-17A2 mainboard has the same dimensions as the 17A1 mainboard.

 

Here you can find my review for the GT75VR 7RF Titan Pro http://forum-de.msi.com/index.php/topic,113078.0.html
have a look to the picture 6 and 7.
Picture 6 is the front view and the GT73 is on the right side on picture 7 it is the GT73 an the left side and you have the back view.
And the GT73 is 49mm thick. so 9mm difference.

And if you go to the end of the review you can find some arguements of my wife why i don't have kept the GT75 Review sample at home

 

Why did you say your CPU can't run at 4.5 ghz?
What settings did you use?

 

before i knew what i know now i used in bios the wrong settings and dc.
I had not dared to ask you or the other guys earlier so i ask to late.

 

Wait, what happened to your re-pasted model of your GT75VR?
You had to return it? Why?
That looked like a really nice unit!

I would love to have that keyboard. Seriously...
So what do you have -right now-?
You showed repaste pictures a few days ago.....

 

you misunderstood it.. Last year i got an GT75 from MSI Germany to wrote an review about it for our german msi user forum. And after the review or before i must sent it back. After a few month i sold my Gt73 to buy the gt75 which i own now.

 

They should have given you a perk for writing a good review for them Anyway nice review, even though I had to translate it

 

Thanks mate

 

Guys i want to upgrade my ram i have a msi gt75vr 7rf-215 usa model it has a single 16 gb ram and i don’t know what kind of ram is. Help me please i want to buy another single 16 gb ram. And i want to use them dual channel 32 gb help me please.

Can i buy this ram ?
https://m.newegg.com/products/9SIABVR6SK0466

 

Use HWInfo or CPU-Z

 

I am away from home right now so i can't do that is someone do this for me ? i think all gt75vr models have same ram right help me please.

 

it can be possible that you have one ram module with the Part Number MSI24D4S7D8MH-16 then yes the ram from your link will fit.
but to be sure you should use cpu-z as zipperi wrote to verify this.
you are able to wrote in this forum so i think you are able to download cpu-z oder hwinfo as well.
And you can use them in dual channel it is not necessary to disassemble the complete lady you can use one of the two free slots for the ram.

 

time to change the display.. i like the 4k but for games it is not useable for me i do a downgrade to this nice display http://www.panelook.com/B173QTN01.0_AUO_17.3_LCM_overview_30300.html.i need something to do and this is something to do .
I search a lot and the display should fit.

it makes me really sad that msi don't offer the ladies with a QHD display.

 

Good luck. Picture porn would be appreciated when you do it !

 

Awaiting the " I am uninstalling my B173QTN01.0 panel due to the crappy vertical banding" post in 3....2.....1......

 

You should count in days and not in seconds....

 

use your imagination. those numbers "were" indeed days not seconds.

This is what you're getting..........



vs a normal screen which should look like this:

no time to use my imagination
Thanks for the input

 

Hi everybody, my GT75 finally came back from a second RMA! testing it right now!
Fingers crossed!

 

the display is changed and the os acknowledge it as AUO1496, 120Hz i get at the nvidia system settings displayed.
With the driver i have a little issue but i hope that it will work after i use ddu to clean the driver from the os. without driver i got an picture on the GT75 with driver only on my Asus a friend of mine changed his display as well and must reinstall the os and this on my birthday

Edit:
Ok gents,

i Need your help please.
i work with all hints in this Topic http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...-its-dim-help-plz-help-fix-edid.807461/page-5 and nothing help me to solve my blackscreen issue, when i install the nvidia Driver. with the MS Standard Basic Driver everyhting is working.

Edit2:
Intel driver is working fine with both displays, external and internal display.

 

Gents,

any Suggestion for my last two Edits from my last post?
i try an guide from nvidia for the edid but then i think i do all what i can do to get an Picture on the Display with the nvidia Driver.

 

no pic porne. after three days of testing and modifying nvidia inf files I give up and sent the display back to the Reseller. some pictures i will add later atm they are to big.
and the Quality of the qhd for me is very nice.
and nope mr phoenix i sent it back because the Driver was not working with the Display only Intel mode was working or when i don't install the Driver.

 

Im having an issue with my right click on my Gt75vr Touchpad, its incredibley softer and loose, no pressure what so ever.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eq3ExAOQheNUszBHewLE3Bbl3Nz4wFxZ/view?usp=drivesdk

The video shows the exact issue, its supper annoying since i rest my thumb inbetween both buttons and i can feel the difference and it drives me crazy. I contacted HIDEvolution and they sent me an email after reviewing the video thats saying thats normal and its an MSI defect and replacing the mechanism wont help. Wanted to hear from what the other have to say about their Touchpad Buttons, Thank you!

 

That's a defect and is definitely not normal.

Pinging @Donald@HIDevolution please see if you can help him.

That issue is a broken microswitch. Basically either the plunger or the spring is out of place or broken (you can see this mechanism easily on the old "Cherry" switch and Omron switch arcade pushbutton and microswitch assemblies (since they're so easy to open up by hand). It basically prevents the "click" and resistance sound and the button winds up moving almost freely, even though electrical connection still occurs. The end user can't fix this; the top shell has to be replaced (probably easier to just replace the entire system, although I've seen the top shell available for over $150 dollars...ouch, since it's the keyboard, mouse and case power push buttons)

 

Legend says, "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder", I wouldn't use that display even if you paid me money. Utter garbage IMHO. If you think it was good, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe look at a really good screen then look at that QHD screen again and you'll see what pile of trash it is.

Quality or not, you returned it anyway, that's all that matters now
