This is just a reminder. Follow these EXACT steps to overclock this board.

1. Open BIOS → ADVANCED → Intel ICC

2. Set ICC Watchdog Timer to Enabled

3. Save settings and exit.

4. Restart.

5. Open BIOS → ADVANCED → Intel ICC

6. Set ICC Watchdog Timer to Disabled (DON'T RESTART)

7. Open BIOS → ADVANCED → Intel ICC → DIV2S

8. Set base frequency to desired setting. (10400 = 104 MHZ)

9. Change clock spread spectrum to 0 (This stops downlocking)

10. Apply settings permanently after restart. (DON'T RESTART, EXIT TAB)

11. Set ICC Watchdog Timer back to Enabled.

12. Save settings and restart. (Your 16F2 should turn off)

13. Turn OC'd 16F2 back on... <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Обычная таблица"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]-->

Step 8 settings would be for sandy bridge? What would a starting point be for the 3610qm?

Im not too happy about it... It has been 2 days of normal use now... But I cant have this happen again... I guess time will tell...

well, I worked on it for about 5hrs last night, and about 10pm it started charging and it has worked since then... weird, at this point I believe its something to do with win8....

Howdy, I just got a MSI GT60 0nc 004 with the brighter screen, 16gb ram, BD drive, OCZ gen 3 128 SSD and had the heat sinks coated with arctic silver from GentecPC.com

I just was hoping to learn a thing or 2 about my new workhorse!

I have a stuck pixel on my GT60. It stays lit and wont go away on its own.... If i gently put some pressure on it it will dissappear until the next time I reboot... Is there any way to fix this without sending it in or taking it apart??

My 1 month old GT60 wont let me charge my battery, I had 99% this morning, ran it for about 1 hr on battery, turned it off and plugged it in to charge, hrs later I fired it up on A/C and it will say "Battery 0% available, Not Charging"

I've removed the battery restarted, uninstalled the driver for the battery, Reset the computer again, installed the battery.... etc. over and over with no changes.... I believe I reset it about 5-6 times now.

some background,

-About 2 weeks ago i got a notice that my battery was "bad" and needed to be replaced, I rebooted and the message has never returned.

-Last week I downloaded and installed Win8 and it has been running fine (despite the fact that I HATE Win8!!!) for a week now.

any Ideas on what to do the help this out?
