I have the 2oc version. However I bought the 6300 to obtain the max performance and because I wanted to add a third antenna, so I don't want to buy even the 7260 which performs less.
The 6300 is not unusable though

The third antenna will help your range but not your speed vs AC. 802.11 N can transfer up to 150Mb/s per antenna so three gets you up to 450Mb/s. The AC cards can do 450Mb/s per antenna so you could get 900Mb/s with just the two pre-installed antenna, as long as your other components like your router supported it.

Nothing stops you from buying a 3rd antenna and sticking it to the back of the display.

Even though these WLAN cards are using the same PCIe standard but I have heard that 6300 sometimes isn't compatible possibly due to BIOS issue). -
Did anyone tried to do ram upgrade?
I want to upgrade it from 8 gb to 16 gb. A-Data 8 GB 1600 Mhz CL11 1.35v ram is installed now.
I could not find any with same specifications. There is ones that have these specifications:1600 Mhz CL11 but 1.5v.
Should i mix the 1.35v one with 1.5v one, or I should check the ones with different CLs? -

Hello everyone im new here and cn not good english sorry for that.
I have a MSI GE60 2OE-002US for a week and the keyboard blue backlight dont work .
What is the problem.?
Or have this latop no light for keyboard>? -
Support.3@XOTIC PC Company Representative
I believe on this model you control the keyboard light with pressing Fn and + (on the numberpad) If that doesn't work try reintalling the KLM which will be on the drivers discs that came with the computer and available to download directly from MSI. -
I have try Fn and + but not work .
I cannot find the KLM driver on the drivers disc.
Maybe SCM but this is also installed . -
Support.3@XOTIC PC Company Representative
There is a button on the top left of the keyboard, can you press the right side of that to turn on the backlight.
-
Yes i know .
i press this button on the top left on the right side but not working . -
Meaker@Sager Company Representative
Try re-installing the the latest SCM.

Or cut a slot onto it with a Dremel cutting disk and use an ordinary screwdriver.
-

-
Before using the Dremel (very last resource) you can try also with good pliers in vertical position and rotating you could remove the screw.

Thats what I thought. What should I do now? MSI has one of the worst customer services EVER, there are not responding any of my emails....
cheers -
Kevin@GenTechPC Company Representative
When did you contact them? They aren't open during weekends. -
I sent them an email several days / weeks ago, but never got an answer... -

Yes, I saw that video and he installs the second mSATA on top of the WLAN card as it is supposed to. Since my system came without that second socket, I was wodering how to proceed. Should I demand another notebook in exchange? MSI headquarters is not answering my emails but maybe you know something else... ? -
Got my GE60 2OD-073US yesterday and I have to say that I love it. It is the first laptop that I have bought in the past 4 years since I normally just keep a desktop and running an old HP with Ubuntu when I needed to be mobile for papers and the such. It is nice moving to a i7 from an Intel Celeron single core. Mainly I needed something to get me through my Computer Science and Computational Physics double major because next semester sees me taking C++ and DE and Linear Algebra both with a heavy focus on computational methods. I figure the i7 would be more than enough computing power to get me through college and into graduate school and the 765m would allow me to do light gaming at LAN parties or other gatherings since my ~40lbs desktop isn't the most mobile of devices. I will say that it does get mighty hot when playing games but I plan on purchasing a cooler soon to carry around when I plan on gaming with it. Most days though all it will see is some light coding.
It was hard choosing a GE over a GT (the GT60 2OD-026US to be specific) but I figured I would be best off getting the GE with a less powerful GPU compared to the GT and spending the extra on a H100i, a monitor and a GTX 770 for my desktop which is in dire need of an upgrade from my 560.
So as it sits now it is running Windows 7 (what is comes with stock) but I am thinking of upgrading to Windows 8 since I find it so much faster, 2x 240GB Crucial M500 mSATAs non-raid, and the original 1TB harddrive. I don't need the 1TB HDD which I for some reason cannot completely remove because the computer derps and says no boot media installed even though I use one of the mSATAs as a boot and works fine with the HDD in and even disabled in the boot priority list... I am thinking of replacing the ODD with either a BluRay player or a harddrive caddy but I will probably never use that much storage. Thought about repasting it with some IC Diamond 7 that I have laying around somewhere from when I replaced my motherboard but since I am not going to be gaming on it much and when I do it will be with a cooling pad I think I will leave it alone (I just hate messing with thermal paste).
Has anyone been able to find a larger battery yet or where you can get one that is straight up the same? I will only have one class that doesn't have outlets but it is first thing in the morning for a hour and a half so it is not that big of a deal. I am getting around 2:45 as an average but I would like a little more headroom just encase I need to go longer if I can find it. -

Was it advertised with two slots?
-
Kevin@GenTechPC Company Representative
I've opened up a GE60 2OC yesterday and there was only one slot available so the board design could had been altered without notice for cost-cutting reasons.
The other slot that shared the same compartment as WLAN adapter did not have the slot soldered on.
Perhaps this issue may start to appear across all GE60 2O series, but we need more confirmation. -
I've just bought my GE60 today and thought it would be a walk in the park to install an SSD (in the MSATA port) as a boot disk instead of the HDD. I've used the recovery tool to install all the files on the SSD (with and without the HD connected) and I can see it in the Sata overview in the bios. However, when I want to select it as a boot disk it doesn't show up in the selection list, only "harddisk" is shown. I've ran all the updates for the drivers and Bios but i can't get it to show up.
Any help is greatly appreciated! -
Kevin@GenTechPC Company Representative
Run the Recovery one more time. -

What's the capacity of your SSD? -
Yes I did. The SSD is a 64GB Plextor Msata -

Download BIOS
Unzip it, and then double-click on FLASHWIN in Windows.
EC is 1506.

How to access the Boot Menu?
Is there one? On Dell pressing F12 brings up the drives that can be booted. Is there an equivalent key on this MSI.
Hitting delete brings up the bios but setting the USB as the boot doesn't work...
Wait, maybe the USB is a legacy device... Hmmmm.... -
-
Cheers, -
[PID]
Value=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx (W8 serial used for the download)
After that I've tried to install again and it worked!
I still can't select the SSD as boot disk in my Bios but when I boot my computer I do get the option to select one of two boot disks. There I can select my SSD and I can boot from it.Kevin@GenTechPC likes this. -
Does someone have a spare bracket of the optical drive?
-
Soon to be a owner of a Msi GE60 2OE !

Btw, my laptop will come without OS (well,it comes with FreeDOS). There are so many BIOS files, with different versions but the same date. Which one should I download? I will install Win 8.1, but that doesnt means I have the Win 8.1 BIOS version,am I right?
Thanks -
Check which one the laptop comes with. Mine also came with FreeDos and the W8 AHCI BIOS (which is now called non-raid!) but no problem running this "Non-RAID" BIOS with RAID and W8 /W7.
Usually the first number of the version (mine is still version 510 which it came with) describes which BIOS
7xx RAID W8
5xx Non-RAID W8
3xx RAID W7
1xx Non-RAID W7
The W7 and W8 descriptions are ambiguous in that they are relevant to the EC firmware rather than the OS.
