640GB WD Blue 5400rpm.

I havent got confirmation from MSI if changing HDD will void warranty for whole system so I dare no open up yet..

The backpanel has a warranty sticker which access to a screw.

Reseller told me the even the sticker is tampered to open up the backpanel, warranty would not be voided..

I contacted MSI regarding this matter and awaiting their reply.

So as of now, I do not have any pic of the interior.

Opening up the backpanel to gain access to HDD, RAM and etc has a few screws on the MSI. One screw has a Warranty sticker above it.. So.. Im not sure it it will void.. kinda stupid policy not being able to gain access to ram, HDD and other parts eh..

thou.. the reseller told me the warranty will still be there even the sticker is tampered.. Im contacting MSI for double confirmation..

i wanna replace my HDD eh.. got a 7200rpm for it..

Hopefully MSI will get back to me ASAP..

yeah.. opening is one thing.

but changing the hdd would be one problem.. reseller told me if change will void warranty because MSI would know if the screw is tampered of not.. haih..

hopefully MSI wil get back to me ASAP with good news.

yeah.. good news for us then.

Time to open up!

well.. someone with i7 of N55SF ran furmark and got the same temperature as well. but its furmark, you should expect the max temperature running bro..

I thought the GE620 came with 768p screen also?

its definitely not cool at all if they come out with FullHD in their coming batch same priced.. You can always put lower resolution when gaming on FullHD. no big deal for me..

@Swordsmen

I have not tried going on battery yet.. but its 4400mAH battery.. I dont expect much. 2 hours would be more than enuf.

it seems like the specs page on MSI GE620DX has typo with GPU.. its listed GT540m only..

and damn nit.. how much is the fullHD variant priced?

its using GT555m. It should be a typo on the website.

That you have to ask MSI-MY.. I too wanna know when and how much would it cost.

Normally its best to download graphics driver from its own manufacturer website..

Cooling system reliable? for my part.. I would say yet it is.. but its not the best around.

Guess they just noticed and changed it

4.5 hours sounds really good eh.

Well.. So far no info on the FullHD pricing as well as shipment.

US fullHD units are sold at USD1.3k which converts to rm3.9k

yeah.. FullHD makes a big difference with normal HD screen bro.

if you can wait just wait lor..

somehow kinda regret buying earlier.. lol..

snow white as N55SF?

If its priced the same as FullHD GE620DX. Im pretty sure GE620DX gets more buyer.

you can always configure to lower resolution in games if you're using fullHD. FullHD will be awesome for entertainment like movies and picture editting.

@eenong89

its not really "better" its just higher clocked. you can always overclock it to the same speed.. No offence but I see no difference in this matter.

pixel fillrate depends on the ROP and Core clock..

As I said.. just overclock to 675Mhz, you'll get the same thing.. I can even get higher pixel fillrate if I overclock further.

If you're looking for significant increase. The Bandwidth would be the one.

look what I did..

Added on August 26, 2011, 4:57 pmlol.. its 25Mhz difference.. its not big deal at all bro.. you cant judge the GC for its tiny difference of clock speed..

besides.. MSI has its own GPU boost technology.
