@Horns: Dangit. Well I'll have to recheck reviews for power consumption figures and see if the vanilla M5P is comparable to the M4 in terms of power consumption.

The Sammys are king in power consumption at the low end though, if only they had a well priced MLC based SSD.

Well,F3+Function button didn't work. @storm88

why does my F3 button didn't work? I tried entering F3 recovery and failed. Can anyone provide me with the software for this shortcut?

Guys, my GS70 touchpad can't be used. Restarted a few times but still havin problems. Can anyone help? Haven't use ot for a week :-(

Just sharing,fortunately, ALL-IT also have LoVo. Mushkin 8gb ddr3L 1600mhz c11 with a price tag of rm230.
Pretty rare to spot a mushkin ram nowdays.

your F3 recovery would not be work because you are running on your SSD, not on your original harddrive
and for your touchpad issue, do you connecting any mouse into your laptop right now?

I've read that too. But:

Countersauce (From Intel's own dev conference):



Note all 3 voltage profiles being supported on the upper right  side of the slide. However, keep in mind this might simply apply to the Haswell architecture in general, the Desktop side included.

More importantly, I've been hearing a lot of chatter that Haswell mobile ONLY pushes 1.35v to the RAM, which means that any 1.5/1.65v RAM stick used is simply "undervolted" down to 1.35v.

This is MUCH more plausible (vs the the "it can ONLY use 1.35v or thar be dragons!" theory) and it sufficiently explains why only SOME 1.5/1.65v RAMs cause certain Haswell laptops to be unbootable, as NOT all 1.5/1.65v RAM sticks can handle running at 1.35v at default timings.

In short, if the RAM used cannot run on 1.35v, the laptop will simply not boot. No matter what voltage RAM you stuff inside.

The plus side is that no harm should come to the laptop in this case, because the motherboard isn't really supplying RAM voltage out-of-spec. It's simply a question of whether or not your RAM will run with the given voltage. In the worse case, the RAM sticks in question will simply not work (or die off) due to lack of power.

Besides, there are ONLY 2 sites WARNING people of the dangers using anything over 1.35v with Haswell, on the ENTIRE Internet - and both of them forum posts. That has to count for something. If it'll really burn out stuff, you'd expect something like this to be ALL over the Internet, especially on "tech sites" like Anandtech and the like.

But no, zero, nada, zilch. Even the senior members at NBR are running 1.5v RAM on Haswell with little issue (HTWingNut on his W230ST for example). Even with 2133Mhz RAM (which is running at 1866Mhz max on his W230ST).

So it actually boils down to luck with any 1.5v (or even 1.65v) RAM sticks you plan to use. If it does 1.35v, you're fine. If not, well, tough luck.

Hence the "recommendation" to use DDR3L, which are simply RAM that WILL work for sure at 1.35v.

With that said, I'm fully planning to get another ADATA DDR3L stick anyway, or - like I said before - some fancy matched RAM set. It just feels better to run a matched pair in the end.

But FIRST, I gotta get me some SSD love.

@horns: Do you have to re-direct your cache and temps to the RAMdrive every time you cold boot? Because I don't run my laptop 24/7, and setting up startup batch commands for all that sounds like a real hassle.

Because Nvidia doesn't really support the 76x series on laptops DIRECTLY (similar to a lot of their other laptop GPUs actually). They expect vendors (MSI/Clevo/Dell/Lenovo/Whoever) to come up with the drivers.

You need to mod the Nvidia driver ".inf" file if you STILL want to update. If you can't, don't bother updating unless you have a serious issue with any of the games you have.

I personally don't see THAT much improvement over stock 311 in the games I play anyway, at least not as much as actually optimising the settings for each game myself.

but i cant play splinter cell black list, it always detected the intel gpu instead of gtx 760m

hmm GT 60/70 it work on 1.5Volt ram  it even show on dimms it support 1.5v ram lol i think i post pic on old msi threads

AFAIK ALL RAM runs at 1.35v with Haswell. Like I said, whether or not it runs depends on the RAM itself, similar to undervolting a Processor. Some 1.5v RAM can run 1.35v no problem, others cannot.

ANYWHO, I manage to get a hold of MSI-MY, and luckily,(and hopefully) a colleague of his, will be monitoring our thread for further clarification.

GREAT NEWS bro. Hopefully it's someone with ample knowledge and good CSR skills.

Anyhow, RAM wise what I want is that delicious CL9 goodness Storm88 has got coming in lol.

Ya. Brother storm88 price is cheap. I even recommend people getting LoVo's from him as well.
Ya, but we all can agree from your previous quote. "depends on luck"
