It seems that moderators here are soo busy nowadays.. Probably we can get feedback from them (with the new unlock bios) next year ... probably

@trigger

Can tell me what name of merchant in ebay you bought your 680m? much better to send me via message. Any brand of nvdia GTX680M is good to get? Like Alienware, CLevo, or Eurocom? And do you have ESD strap & mat while changing the card? Or just DYI to avoid static while replacing the card. Thanks

This is good news Nice results! But can someone post some pic's on how you did this gpu upgrade?

I have an MSI GT60-onc with 670M gpu. My question is. Can i switch to other manufacturer bios like Clevo or other brands? just like with GTX 680M? Can switch to other manufacturer bioses? Just to find out which vbios is better than the other one...Hoping to get a quick reply.... Thanks

I wonder when will Xonar release the 2nd version of modded bios for GT60. the ones with the memory tweaks, cpu unlock etc... thanks

I live in singapore and its very hot here

Waaa!!! Me and my wife went there on the first week of November. I bought my MSI GT60-onc in funan mall... So sad its so expensive to get the same variant gt series with gtx680m there though....

Thanks Trigger

So all gtx680m cards can flash bios to any vendor cards except from dell bios right? I am planning to get one from eurocom early next year though.. But wait.... I got an msi gt60-onc. Will the GPU heatsink for gtx670M fit on a 680m card? And just get new thermal pads? thanks

Can also tell me the link where u got the modded drivers? Thanks again

I don't know if this is the right thread to ask this question. But can a GTX670M be updated with a different vendor vbios? Just like with the GTX680M? Just to find out which bios can overclock much better?

Alkado

Is that for GT60? What bios version are you using? 10P (non-raid), 30P(raid)? the latest bios?

I upgraded my gt60 0NC with gtx680m from eurocom

Would just like to ask again those gtx680m cards from eurocom is compatible with msi gt60-onc? Or is standard mxm board that can be fitted to sager, alienware laptops too? thnx

I'm really liking my GT60 so far. That 680M is a beast of a card too.

Oh!!! the upgrade itch cant resist!!!!..... lol

Be very very carefull when you update your vbios even if you back up its original rom. Because GE models GPU are embedded on the motherboard. Once the gpu is brick then you must RMA your laptop if it's still covered within the warranty.

Is there such a guide with 680M replacing the 670M with its stock GPU heatsink? many thanks to people who would help.

Is it possible to use 1600/1866 MHz Memory (2x8Gb) in GT683DX with i5-2450M CPU?

same question but for MSI GT60. Can use 1866 for 4 slots of memory?

2nd question... When are you going to release the updated modded bios version for MSI GT60? last time u said to not update cos memory option is still grayed in bios.. Thanks

GT 683 series are sandy bridge based processors in which you can upgrade to a sandy bridge procy only. GPU of GT683 are MXM board based. so meaning you can upgrade to a higher version of GPU for your laptop. Please ask the guru's here if you want to see the compatible GPU's for your laptop

Hello please tell me what to do if after flashing the laptop will not turn on?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

It means you bricked your laptop. Somewhere along the way you did not follow the step-by-step procedure or you updated the wrong bios... Please go to page one of this thread so you can see the procedure of revivng your laptop.

Xonar,

There is an updated bios version from MSI for GT 60 series.

http://msi.com/product/nb/GT60-0NC.html#/?div=BIOS

you might as well put the modded bios version with this one regarding the memory tweaks, cpu unlock etc... tnx

The memory stuff is still not visible.

Xonar, Are you going to release the new modded bios today? thanks

Hold off until tomorrow (U.S. time). The memory stuff is still not visible.

Ok will wait for your 2nd bios mod release then. Thanks

I will try to upate your modded bios with my gt60 this evening. Tnx

Successfully updated to Xonar's Bios mod. thanks a lot :-D

This upgrade is good news to asus fan boys. cool

Can I also make a request with a little volt modifications on my nvidia gtx670m (msi gt60) and see if this GPU performs on par with a gtx 670mx? I can send the rom fiile after 5 posts right? tnx

Well, I don't know... Asus is a bit weird when it comes to mobile GPUs... for whatever reason they don't adhere to the MXM standard, probably because they want that the users have to buy new machines instead of being able to upgrade them.

I agree with you. No wonder in SG prices of asus have the best deals to offer. BTW i'm not a fan of asus anymore cos my asus g74sx together with my eepad transformer rested in peace after the one warranty..

Will have it tomorrow!! Along with the GT70, 1762, etc. Also, I will have the RAID version and you can manually DISABLE RAID in the BIOS

That's good news.. But wait, I have a noob question though... You said that the GT modded bios (30M version for raid NB) can be used by a non-raid GT models? just go to bios and manually set it to "raid" before doing the bios update? Then revert back to AHCI before you boot to windows? Thanks

you can manually DISABLE RAID in the BIOS. There's no sense in unlocking the same BIOS twice when you can just disable RAID and potentially enable it down the road if you buy a second HDD...

Thanks for the infor sir. But what I am trying to say is that I have a non-raid gt60 version (.10M bios version) . Is this .30m raid modded version compatiblle with .10M? Can adjust in bios from AHCI to RAID before doing this modded bios update to .30M? Thanks alot

Xonar ... Do you have a bios mod for msi-gt60 onc non-raid edition? Under bios settings, does it have multiplier unlock settings, memory tweaks etc? tnx
