    Anyone here has a MSI M670, M673 or M677 (no crystals)? I'm interested in what display you have and the CPU/GPU temperatures during normal use and under load.

    You can find out the display manufacturer and type using Everest (see Monitors section) or you can just list what you have in:
    Device Manager -> Monitors -> Plug and Play Monitor -> Details
    (it should be something like DISPLAY\PHL000D\......... - I'm interested only in the word after DISPLAY, in this case PHL000D).

    Concerning the temperatures, you could also use Everest - see Computer -> Sensor (you simply select something in the right panel, right click and copy). Or, you could use Notebook Hardware Control or Speedfan. In Speedfan, if you don't know what the temperatures mean, just post them as they are.

    Also, everybody here seems to be talking about MS-xxxx models, while most of the models on global.msi.com have codes like M670, L735 etc. How do they relate to one another?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, topsecret. I assume the temperatures are for normal use and you have the M677 model with crystals, based on your signature.

    Yes I have the M677 with the crystals on it. The temps I posted are the temps for normal use.

    A friend of mine has the M677 without the crystals and both laptops are the same (inside). The only difference is the outside.

    May i ask why you need this information (display manufacturer and temps)?

    Well, I intend to buy a laptop, I've selected several models from a few brands based on their configuration and now I'm trying to find out as much as possible about them. There is very few information about notebook displays or actual temperatures, and even less about the ones in MSI laptops. Based on the screen manufacturer and model I can find out response time, contrast ratio, viewing angles etc. I also want a laptop that doesn't run too hot - I noticed that some of the Asus models seem to run pretty hot and the displays they usually come with are quite average.
