Which bios/firmware version should i use on MSI 1651

Which bios and firmware version should i use in order to use turbo on the laptop? would the latest ones work from the site or should i get from another? Also running on windows 7 64bit.

 

if you want to use the turbo button and not setfsb, then the bios and the firmware from msi's site is what you need.

 

alright thanks dark bane! and would the ec version to switch the fn and cntrl key should i do that first before i update the bios and firmware or after i do all that?

 

Use this:

it's a very nice software that allows you to make any key into any other key.

 

oh snap again alot easier than doing the bios thing with the ec thanks alot!

 

If you wish to use the turbo feature you must use the 10s bios. If you want the files I could upload them for you.
Im talking about the 20% one, not the 15% one, this bios gives you MANY bios options!.
Hows the 9600gt?

 

the 10s had some issues under the hood snake. acpi issues mainly with the power settings. ANY version even the newest 1.12 has the turbo feature its just the 10s had a setting for 15 or 20% where all the rest are locked at 15% for the turbo. be VERY careful with 10s if you do not know what some of the features do. with the wrong settings in the video settings section you can brick your system.. i have had to recover a couple from customers who used the 10s and tried adjusting the video options and booted to only a black screen after that and pulling the cmos battery DOES not work to fix this issue.. just be careful a fyi. i am now using 1.12 and it is perfect i just dont have the choice of the 15 or 20%

 

zfactor you think i would be safer just using the latest version of the bios and firmware from the website?

 

Espada, zfactor is right. Stick to the bios 1.12 and the turbo boost will work fine. Greetings out of The Netherlands

 

Can you be more specific?

Do you mean in the BIOS? Where're that video settings section?

 

In the older bios versions, there was an advance menu available by "alt"+"insert". You could adjust several video-related options.

 

I've the 1.0s bios and I can't see any video section. I've tried alt+insert, Fn+insert, Ctrl+insert, Ctrl+F1, etc., but nothing changes.

 

alright looks like i know which version to get and also found out how to switch the fn and cntrl key. Now i just have to order my copper shims, usb flash drive, cpu and im done and once i sell my xbox an SSD!

 

Try alt & insert on advanced tab .

 

I already did but nothing. I've tried even with "ins" (0 key in the numpad).


EDIT: What settings are in that video section? Maybe it doesn't worth the trouble.

 

Not worth it , that's what available in the GT725 and i presume it should be about the same .. more or less

 

That's what I can see too, without key combinations. That few video options, inside the north bridge menu, like Boots Graphic Adapter Priority or Internal Graphics Mode Select, are the video section?

 

I guess so , that's the only options available for video and in my opinion not worth touching.

 

Well to be honest with this 10s bios I have noticed a good amount of battery wear , maybe zfactor is right...
