MSI GT60 Unlocked.zip

Does the unblocked BIOS let you disable the Integrated or the Discrete Graphics card?

THanx for answering

[badamecki]

I bought a laptop MSI GE60 with Windows 8 and I want to change to windows 7. But on the MSI wrote that I can’t change BIOS if was already installed for Windows 8.

“- If the notebook you purchased has Win7 Bios installed, please DON'T attempt to update using Windows 8 bios (or vice versa). Failure to abide may result in bricking your system.”

Can you please tell me if there is a way to flash it.

Cheers.

Hi thanks Xonar,

I already have been on the way to give my SSD Crucial M4 back until I have found your thread and this forum.

I bought by accident a GX660R and thought a SSD would be fine.

The BIOS was very moody to accept the SSD.

But I tried to load default setting in BIOS and after reboot it was ok until the next time..lol

So I have updated the BIOS with the tool from MSIHQ team and it runs fine now.

Hi

Advice please:

1. Where is the CMOS battery is a GX60?

2. Can I solve the problem with RAM unlocked BIOS flashing (the problem with RAM: a total of 8 GB, and 3.46 is available, the rest of the hardware are reserved 4.45 GB; problem on any windows and Linux x64)?

3. Not there be a problem with the BIOS firmware unlocked? I have one such was:

Thanks for the answers!

[trigt60]

You can disable it yes.

Thats excellent.. For Optimus (Nvidia + HD4000) systems it has been difficult to install Mac OSX86 with graphics because of the the two cards designed to work together. If the BIOS allows one of them to be disabled, then graphics on Optimus OSX86 is an option.

Has anyone tried it?

If so, the unlocked BIOS allows for which one to be disabled?

thanx

Thanks for the answers!

1. CMOS should be in the same location as the pictures on the second post.

2. RAM is reserved by the Operating System for caching purposes. It's to get better performance, this is normal with Windows 7, 8.

3. No clue, you could add the -x parameter to the .bat file to force flash, but it's your risk. Others have flashed the BIOS just fine without it.

[Ilya]

2 . No. It isn't normal! AIDA64 sees 2*4Gb, but works (for the unclear reasons) by single channel! From here RAM productivity in Windows 5.9, instead of 7.3-7.4. Why that 1 RAM doesn't want to work (((I think it a problem in Bios! (This RAM is running on another laptop in dual channel mode)

Friends have same laptops with 8Gb memory! Under hardware needs only 500 Mb are allocated, and at me 4.5 Gb are reserved is hardware)

[Xonar]

great job...I always so admire that someone in the world doing this good deed for people.

I have a question though,does this unlock the function of en/disable CPU Hyper-threading??

Yes, you can disable/enable HyperThreading.

Hi. Is this bios available in non raid version?

You disable RAID yourself in the BIOS after flashing.

:01:THX Trustudio Pro not working after update bios on GT780DX

Try to reinstall it.

Hey @Xonar have you done a blind flash on the gt683dx? I'm trying to get my new mobo working it's version 1.0 and my original one was version 1.2.

Thanks dude!

No sorry man. I haven't had any bad luck and everything about blind flashing I know is from reading other people say it works on the web.

What tool from MSIHQ?

Hi there

I have MSI GT70 0NE-609US Dragon Edition upgraded as shown below:

Just ask. If I don't respond promptly, it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you. It means I haven't had time to catch up on here.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]5800[/ATTACH]

Have you ever reformatted before? It could be some software you are using.

Are you using integrated graphics? I bet that will be reserving some RAM for sure. But 4.6GB seems kinda high...

[Ilya]

Integrated graphics card must take 520 MB of RAM))) I think the problem with the BIOS or chipset ((

[andy20]

What tool from MSIHQ?

I have used the flash tool what the MSIHQ Team created to flash MSI BIOS. (MSIHQ Tool 1.19R9 Installer)

I could use even your zip file and I checked in the USB Stick if it is well installed and prepared for flashing and it was ok.

[Nakform]

Respected Xonar, in your BIOS for the GX60 is a function of complete shutdown 7660G?

To completely disable the technology Enduro.

And it is possible to overclock the CPU in the BIOS?

I apologize in advance for my curve English.

[Zuppo]

I really love gt70 series, barebone versions good, in terms of installing custom parts, such as XM CPU-s, so im guessing, is it possible to upgrade my 3630qm in gt70 one machine to 3920xm for example?

[LSX Monster]

Yes, you can disable/enable HyperThreading.

Now I have a question.

Which file should I downlad from the table??

Whitebook: MS-1762(17'')

or

Retail: MS-GT70(17''):

I have MSI GT70 0NE-609US Dragon Edition upgraded as shown below:

Intel i7 extrem 3940xm 3.0GB

Corsair 32GB ram 1866MHz

Nvidia GForce GTX 680M 4GB

Motherboard MS-1762

ALso when I try to download any file, I got this messege:

It takes up to 1 hour to update your status to elite member.

[LSX Monster]

It working now I've downladed both files.

MSI GT70 17"

MS-1762 I'm confused which one is for my laptop?

What should I do to flash my bios? My laptop is running Win8 Pro

[badamecki]

Hi

Is anyone who can response to my question. May be is to difficult or to silly?

I am green in this subject and I couldn't find answer.

I want to change original MSI bios from one to other version. But they say: “...- If the notebook you purchased has Win7 Biosinstalled, please DON'T attempt to update using Windows8 bios (or vice versa). Failure to abide may result in bricking your system...”.

"bricking your system" mean Windows or BIOS. If BIOS is it true? There is no way to Change it?

Bios level. Basically as Bios on shipped windows 8 is EFI you can't upgrade a shipped windows 7 laptop with a windows 8 bios except playing with the files. One guy tried and bricked is laptop.

Not sure if you can upgrade a shipped windows 8 laptop with a win 7 bios but I will not even try. Maybe you dont brick the laptop in such case but I am not sure to whatwill happen to your windows key and activation.

According to MSI both BIOS are the same except the Windows 8 protection system.

IS that heat or throttling ?

you can also try the Beta EC that you can findon MSI forums.

Not sure if it helps for throttling but seems to ease for GC OC.

Welcome to my unlocked BIOS thread for MSI G-series gaming notebooks!

I am currently looking for people with 3rd-gen core-i (Ivy Bridge) G-series notebooks as testers. Please contact me if you are interested.

Hi, i have MS16F3 Notebook, i can test unlocked bios for MS16F3

Hey Xonar, your gt70 bios will this work on a 0ND?

I guess throttling. No turbo fan button on my panel or turbo boost button. Is there any keyboard shortcut for enable TurboFan? Fn+F1 won't work. I tried Beta EC 5.04 but still same..
