Bad news here. Not even a month, a MONTH, the CPU fan started to die on me.

It's getting louder and there's buzzing sound coming out from the fan. Grr.

As a new owner of a MSI laptop, I'm rather disappointed. First the TN panel and it's poor color quality, now the bloody fan.

About the international warranty thing. How does it work? Do I need to bring a receipt when I bought it back in Malaysia? I'm currently staying in SG and plan to send to MSI SG to fix it.

MSI SG can give full refund?

Not possible I reckon, bought it at MSI store in Low Yat. I don't think the MSI SG over would be able to do a refund. I'm gonna call up their service centre. Since there's international warranty.

Stay tune!

Which model you using?

GP62-6QF Leopard Pro. Mid to low range I believe.

Does msi malaysia cover warranty if buy msi laptop from amazon?

You have to double check with amazon if the laptop does come with international warranty (usually 1 year standard international warranty). If it does, msi malaysia definitely will cover the international warranty. But if amazon stated that the model doesn't have international warranty (usually US set ), better don't buy it. The laptop will not be covered by the msi malaysia warranty OR IF msi malaysia (their staff at the service centre) is generous enough, they will still try to count your warranty period from the laptop's date of manufacture. If the the date of manufacture already passed one year period by the time you send the laptop to the msi centre, they will definitely charge you for service which is nearly rm300 including gst (even though if u just send your laptop to check what the problem is, which is sucks.... )

This is based on my previous experience of going to the msi centre for warranty stuff (since I own 2 msi laptop so far on record, and no more msi for me in the future..)

Better still, buy M'sia set though for definite warranty support and save yourself from the hassle and headache later if your laptop got problem.. If u buy from amazon, u have to pay extra (tax, kastam, etc..) still aint cheap in the end, plus the uncertain warranty status.

Be safe rather than sorry later bro. Gaming laptop aint cheap unless your are rich or something...

Maybe he wants to get the Desktop like Aegis X that's not available locally. MSI has 1 year international warranty and 2 years local. If its available locally, better get local.

Like the guy above said, tax, kastam, shipping, converter, etc. So much hassle. On top of that, u might need to drive to kastam in KLIA 2 to collect.

Juz got my GT72S 6QE. i7 6820hk processor with 4x8gb ram. i've seen some reviews about clocking the gpu. is this possible? also its on 1tb+256gb ssd. definately wanna change tat ssd to a m.2 pcie chip. there are a few on the market tat i might be keen... anyone did this upgrade to their msi laptop before? wat real time differences does it make? mainly comparing intel 600p and samsung evo 950/960.

another question is i seen the brochur that i should have a gsync ready 75hz monitor... i do see the settings of 75hz display, but i dont see any gsync settings. how ah ?

u can find quite a good number of resellers in notebook garage sales area. good prices they offer. at least definately better than u walk into stores.

Got myself an MSI GS63VR 7RF over the weekend. That's a massive chunk of my life savings right there, but damn, it's a beautiful thing. Still can't believe its so thin and light, crazy.

Doing amazingly well in terms of temperature too, I played a couple of hours of Far Cry Primal (which my old laptop couldn't handle) and it barely phases this. Think the temp went up maybe 10 degrees to around 60 degrees, that's it lol.

in daily life, u wont notice different between intel 600 vs SS Evo. its only benchmark show it

At nvidia control panel > under display > Set up G-Sync. got?

yes.. weirdly my brother's laptop got... mine tarak

Sharing: 3rd day using. Finally found a msi hermes backpack tat actually fits the damn gt72s laptop+charger.

Itchy backside. Go open back cover n took out the ram to look see look see then put it back. Restart the laptop it was stucked at bios. No need press delete also bios pop up. Save n exit still bios. Luckily my colleague hav an exact same unit I turn on his bios. Found out tat my booting hard drive was somehow set to raid(which I didnt set) switched a few settings and reboot like normal.

Question: wanna change my stock pcie ssd to a faster pcie ssd. Will the fella's at lowyat help me do transfer of windows n drivers etc? And also currently running on windows 7. Should I change it to windows10? Is there any loading speed/smoothness/stability related improvements?'

To be honest, I think dont need faster SSD. Hard disc (100mb/s max) vs SSD (about 300-500mb/s) is like a huge jump. I think MSI already give somewhere very near 500mpbs. the extra 100mpbs wont really make a difference.

I'm using win 10 since my last MSI and now Aorus. Both very stable. I think malaysians say unstable because is *ehem* version.

I would said for premium price u paid, make no sense to negligible improvement.

Thx for the feedback! Appreciate it

bought my ge62 2qf on march 2015. Today the nvidia GPU is dead. anybody else have the same fate as me? Now looking for a more reliable laptop...any suggestion?
