I'm on 10B, note that the later BIOS files prefer windows 10 and the earlier prefer windows 8.1.

I have to call as a special BIOS setting or why that goes with you ??? I find in the bios no setting for it .
also had the 10b version on it and so it was with me , unfortunately not . Could you send me an instruction for how should I proceed ???
Thank-you

The BIOS setting is hidden, which is slightly annoying. I have the file I think somewhere...

you can send me the bios by mail

Sure, also I'm actually bringing this thread back a little as I am doing some further work on the machine. It may take a little time so bear with me, I'll cover the enhancements over the next few days.

You don't have your address listed and don't have enough posts for trust so I don't have your details.

10 minutes of crysis 3 skybox at over 200fps = max temp of 55C with 1485/8000 clocks

I have confirmed 10B is ok and the settings in 10C look to have been changed back to default by mistake, I have circled the changes required to make it operate normally:

These are hidden options in a locked bios so here is .10B I have uploaded:

Modding my fan profile

thetoan · 13 Jan 2016 at 17:40

I have one question, how did you put off the original fan at the right of the dock? pls? :confused:

Meaker · 13 Jan 2016 at 22:28

Remove the two screws behind the dock connector, fully disengage the tray and the plastic around the dock connector should pull out into the gap between the connector and the tray and lift it up.

Now take the front of the box off, the top part of the dock is one piece and with the two screws gone should slide towards the front and then can be lifted out, be careful of the flat flex cable going to the lock detect PCB.

Remove the support brace running along the unit and remove the main PCB, this should expose the clips for the plastic cover on the side, unclip these and slide it towards the front of the case to expose the screws for the fan.

Double post.

Hi Folks!

Just bought a MSI GS30 with gaming dock. The laptop works great, the dock not so much. In fact it totally refuses to accept my gtx 670 card. The screen just turns black when the gtx 670 is in the dock. When i try to install Nvidia drivers without it refuses to install the drivers. When the gtx670 is in everything spins up but the screen is just black.

Any suggestions how to continue from here? Eternally grateful for all help...

Make sure you are booting in UEFI + CSM as I don't think the 6xx series support pure UEFI booting.
