Nvidia 900M series? man... that's fast. I just bought GT70 with 870M in May mega_shok.gif
I wonder if it is possible to upgrade the graphic card to 970M or 980M

I think its not possible since the motherboard is a whole piece with the CPU and GPU attached to it.

But the GPU is detachable...

U upgraded the whole drive to SSD bro? haha. How much does it cost?
*
Around rm5xx 250gb (OS, apps and some games that load quite heavy are installed here), I think it's enough as the original 1tb hard disk installed on another drive bay, all the junk files i dump it there biggrin.gif

If samsung should I go for 850 pro or 840 evo?

which is better in terms of performance and lifespan?
*
If you read the review, 850 Pro is better bro and more lifespan, go for it. But if you tight on budget, 840 Evo is already good enough. I have no more budget as I already spent too much on this laptop hahaha biggrin.gif

Haha. Mine for now only 128gb. Quite small so I installed all the games at the HDD. Planning to upgrade to 256gb SSD too. So yours now is 2 ssd raid 0?

Edited: One more thing, where did u upgrade bro?
*
No bro, only 1 ssd and 1 hdd. I'm planning to Raid it but maybe in the future. I upgraded it at one of the authorize reseller, they just install the ssd (but must keep the receipt to prove that this laptop has been opened by them) and the rest I do it myself. Installing windows and everything.
Owh..and i deleted the hidden partition to save the space biggrin.gif

I see. Bro can you also help me out.

What RAM is MSI GP60 2PE using? Is it low voltage or normal voltage?

And also how many RAM slots does it have?
*
Bro, check with CPU-Z and go to SPD tab, choose the slot. At the bottom you will see how much voltage for the ram. My GT70 is 1.35V. I'm not sure what's yours.

I checked online they state is DDR3L and I asked some other sellers they told me is low voltage. Some website states that its DDR3 SO-DIMM.

Just wanted to confirm here if its really low voltage.

Wouldn't want to waste money buying the wrong RAM.
*
I think its better to bring your laptop to authorize reseller/service centre bro, they will know what to do.
Since your laptop is still under warranty, it is better to let them open it biggrin.gif

Its such a hassle to go back and forth from my place to the shop.

I thought of getting the RAM and SSD from another seller and go to official retailer to get them to help install it.

So can cut down on travelling time. sad.gif
*
I think its low voltage bro, I also planning to upgrade mine and found out below is my spec
DDR3L 1600MHz PC3L-12800 204 pin Non-ECC CL11 1.35V Unbuffered SODIMM.

Yours should be Low voltage as well.

Try to uninstall it, and install back with the latest version if your version is old.

*
It happened to me as well, after 2 months i can feel my laptop startup was getting slower and slower and that's why I upgraded to SSD. Its not just MSI, other laptop as well.
