***The Official MSI GT80S Titan (w/desktop 980 GPU's) Owner's Lounge***

This system uses DDR4 but not DDR3 so it will not work.

 

would this work then?

 

Another question I have, I have 24GB and how is it configured? 3x8GB?

That seems to be the case, just wanted to confirm.

 

Use CPUZ to check and it will tell you the # of sticks, and specs, etc.

 

Still the question is, will the above theoretically work?

 

Yes, it should work. Also, the processor can support up to 64GB total.

That's what it is in the GT80:

 

what does PC4-19200 mean? Versus PC4-17000

 

I think I will get an identical module just to be safe.

 

HYNIX 8GB DDR4 2133MHZ PC4-17000 260-PIN1.2V SODIMM
HMA41GS6AFR8N-TF

 

19200 = 2400MHz
17000 = 2133MHz

 

Understood

 

What is the difference between GT80 SLI 6QD and 6QE?

They have the same processor but the GPU is 970m versus 980m, any other differences?

 

There is also a model that have the full gtx 980 desktop GPU.

 

The model that gave the full desktop GPU is the 6QF, the one that followed 6QE (which is what I have). And that's was the last incarnation of the GT80 line.

how were they able to stick that full desktop GPU into the laptop, and 2 of them?

 

It turn into GT80S , I'm assuming S is for Special Edition.

 

I have one GT80S upgraded for a friend.
Here my is the benchmark:

Let my know if thats ok for this model.(My first MSI)

 

I think S is just newer than GT80, there was nowhere explaining about the letter S. Also, both GT80 & GT80S have SLI configuration available.

Here is S version , which i mentioned earlier that it's the Special Edition.

I guess there was a S version , but of a mobile GTX 980M.

I had the S version of the full GTX 980

 

Does your box have the word anniversary present? Reason that I am asking because the link is for the global item which wasn't available in the US.

 

I actually don't remember. I got it back in March.Maybe it's the same one you have in your signature. The only difference is that it was a refurbished unit , and were only sold as barebone.

 

S might had been Skylake.


Keep it running for years to come. Systems at this size is rare but powerful, definitely can use another refresh.

 

the processor I had was i7-6920HQ

 

Yup, that's a Skylake processor, please see below link.

guys, I need to change the LCD, does anyone know how to do it easily? Would it be enough to remove front bezel, remove screws, take out the LCD, remove flex cable from its back and simply install the new LCD? Or would it require extensive disassembly of the chassis etc?

 

New to this site....but I have a MSI GT80 2QE Titan w/ 980m in SLI. My question is will my laptop support the (2) 980 desktop in Sli? or it's got to be the newer version of the Titan? Are there extra power for 4-pins for the desktop MXM's? This would save me a lot of time and research if someone knows....thanks

 

OK guys, I completed my LCD replacement, it is a fairly straightforward process, you start removing the front bezel from one of the lower corners and work your way around. When you remove the screws (should be 8-10 of them) you fold down the LCD like you were closing the lid. Then you see the adhesive on the connector, be very careful as it is a rather strong tape and pulling too hard can damage the connector. Some people advise to cut the tape instead of peeling it off in this step. Then you slide out the connector (not upwards but along the plane of the LCD), then put in new LCD, install the connector and do everything backwards, don't forget to put new tape on the connector. Well, this is it. The model number of the LCD is LTM184HL01-M01. The last M01 part tells you it is a matte screen, I bought the C01 version which is glossy and I like it better, more vibrant colors. You might see more reflections if you work outdoors etc though.

I am also wondering if it would be possible to upgrade our screens to 4k, I could only locate one model with 18.4" size and UHD resolution, NV184QUM-N21. However the datasheet tells me the pinout is different sadly. Just let me know if you have more information on this matter.

Cheers.

 

Anyone else having issues updating nvidia drivers? 457.51 is the last driver that doesnt cause me to boot loop. two friends of mine have the 6qe an they have the same issue. Jus hoping maybe there are some solutions out there.

 

Solved it! sli must be disabled prior to updating drivers.

 

has anyone tried putting Windows 11 on one of these? I guess lack of TPM and model of CPU is not compatible and custom installer needed? What about drivers?
