My ram is occupying both of the under keyboard slots, leaving the two under the access panel free. I had ram added by Gentech, so they would have installed it that way. CPU-Z tells me that my ram is running in dual channel mode with slots 2 and 4 occupied. So I agree with you and it also makes sense that you would group the memory in the slots that are next to each other (for a laptop).

Do I need to contact Power Notebooks directly for this? -
MSI Global GT60 2OC
"Sound blaster cinema AP" , This version was added to the webpage in July and may be newer than the CD version.
I have not installed the EQ software (equalizer configuration file) which is optional. -

So both under the main cover or both under the keyboard need to be occupied for dual channel. Or all of them ofc. -

edit: Read lots of positive comments on gentechpc.com, and a few negative comments about others. It got me curious, so I went to check out gentech on reseller ratings... they are 10/10 on 165 reviews over a 10 year period! Definitely gives me confidence that I made the right choice in going with them.

Interesting thing to note - I was having issues with my headphones picking up squealing noises while the GPU was under load. I had a look at the icons by the ports, and I'd plugged my headphones into the wrong port. Switched ports, and no longer have any noise issues.
My laptop has 3 differing brands of RAM sticks in it, and I've had no issues. -

Additionally, more ram should allow you to turn off your page file, which can save some writes on your SSDs. -
As far as I am aware, Msi doesn't release any of their gaming notebooks with their graphics cards in SLI. However, do you think they would do that in future? Would this setup be able to run, theoretically, dual 770m's? And also, would you guys purchase the ultra bay if it became available at some point?
-
@Mr.Heartless
I think, MSi should start offering a new laptop which has SLI. That would bring in some enthusiast to the MSi way. The more choices offered, the better. -

When I added my 2x8 gb, I couldn't get the top bank in properly because the new thermal bridge was in the way. I had to undo the GPU heatsink and the thermal bridge at the CPU...Not that easy to upgrade afterall...
Has anyone noticed a rattling sound from the fan?? Mine sounds like the bearing is shot... -
Meaker@Sager Company Representative
Have you tried seeing if by holding the fan casing it stops the vibration?
The new thermal bridge does make the ram a bit trickier to work with but is not too bad, just an excuse to redo the thermal paste and pads with some nice new ones. -
Hi guys, I've got a couple of question regarding differences between the GT60 and GT70 models. Sorry if they've already been answered (they probably have; and I'm just bad at looking...):
What, if any, is the difference in battery life between the two models? Also, is there a difference in cooling efficiency, owing to difference sizes, between the two?
Thanks for reading (and hopefully answering)! -
Meaker@Sager Company Representative
The only difference is the casing width and screen size.

I'm just wondering how the Lenovo Y510p XOTIC PC | LENOVO IdeaPad Y510p (59375625) is compared to the MSI GT60 MSI GT60 2OC-022US - XOTIC PC - MSI Gaming Laptop in terms of their build quality and gaming. Thanks in advance.
-
The GT 750M SLi in the Y510 will perform nearly the same as the GTX 770M in framerates, but you do not have to deal with micro-stuttering and performance inconsistencies that with the GTX 770M. Cooling in the Y510 is more quiet than the GT60 but it does also run hotter (CPU temperatures are near 90C, GPUs in the 75C-85C range). -
So, you guys have had some time now, what have you all managed to get to while overclocking this beaut?

Has anyone got the current drivers to work? Mine shipped with 311 and current is 326 but when I try to load them it just keeps checking system compatability and never moves on. Also, how do you guys get the case open without tearing the warranty sticker.

I use 326.19

FWIW, I can play NFS Most Wanted maxed out at 30+ fps at 1080p. I'll check out Skyrim tonight, as that seems to be a common interest here -
Hey guys have a question about the Killer Wireless cards.
I wanted to upgrade to the N-1103 but was torn between the 2 antenna(300mpbs) version and the 3 antenna(450mpbs) version. The latter is about 40$ more than the former but I'd like to know if there is any benefit to paying extra outside of the extra speed. With the internet I get here I'd never get past 300mbps so wouldn't it be better to take the 2 antenna option? Or is there more to the upgrade than a higher cap on speed? -

What other games do you play? I'm installing another SSD tonight. Will install the games that I've bought and have yet to install, like..... The witcher 2!! I know, I know, I have been living under a rock...... Eager to play, the reviews really praises the plot and gameplay, not to mention, the top notch graphics. I wonder how I could have missed this title..... -
-
What do you guys think of Kingston SSDnow v+200? I'm looking at a 240GB for a good price. I've posted in the SSD subforum about this, haven't got a reply yet. Have to make up my mind today somehow.....

Does anyone play World of Tanks on the GT70 2OC? I would be interested to know what the fps is on high settings.
TIA ;D -

Hi Guys, sorry new to all this gaming buz. Just got my msi gt60 2oc (8gb ram, gtx 770m, i7 4th gen, windows 8) and tried to play modern warfare 3. I had fraps on and saw that my fps were around 40-45 on everything ultra. Is this normal? Because it says that mw3 should be getting around 90 with the 770m.

Are you maybe using the intel HD graphics? What color is the led above the on/off button while playing?
The short time I did spent in Windows 8 wasn't that comfortable. It works surprisingly well with a touchpad, however, the optimizations in 8.1 for 'desktop' users are really useful. The new all apps menu almost makes it feel like the Ubuntu Unity interface, if I might says so.
I'm thinking about writing a review, but I don't know how useful that is because Ryzeki already made a good review already. Should I? -
christ! there are so many shills here I am surely buying mine directly from MSI lol
"oh I did the IC treatment and my temps are -7c cooler"
"I got mine from such and such" ...and it makes cricket noises
sorry to be so negative but reading thru this thyread is like an emotional roller coaster... buy the MSI GT60 no no build a desktop LGA2011 nagh buy the MSI... wait wait build a LGA2011
I surely don't want any laptop screwing around with my $2000 piece of equipment when I can simply pop the back cover and keyboard out myself. Dealing with a 3rd party or middle man just seems unwise as you always get the latest refresh and chipsets and bios directly from the manufacturer. Not to mention... I'll do the 72hr burn in my darn self! -
I have not read this on any laptop, even the $4000 ones... another thing I have not read about or seems to be left out is if the ODD bays are sata3 when you use a hard drive in them? I'd really like to know that and also if the ODD bay is sata3 is it native? -

I didn't test on Windows 8 either. I 'upgraded' to Windows 8.1 after installing my drivers and software.

University of Pi said: ↑well that settles it, I am going to get it because there is nothing else with a quad core that even comes close in terms of price, performance and battery ratios
biggest complaint is probably going to be the back ports but they are great for a dock, bought or built with cables and duct tape/sugru
that and windows 8 without a touch screen and unrealistic expectations like more usb ports and battery life, less weight and the fact no stores have them near me
and potentially that it is too fast, I mean if I don't get to slack off waiting for my code to compile, when am I supposed to have some downtimeClick to expand...
...it's a dirty game but there are other ways PC World and the likes make money and not from just selling their online and news stand magazines.
you need a touch screen for BF3 or Crysis3 you can always get a USB powered stand alone touchscreen... they are cheap as hell.
these are advertised and marketed as "Gaming Laptops"
