Advice

I am about to open my msi thin 15 to clean the fan with compressed air. In most of the disassembly videos ive seen on youtube, they usually also remove the fan which is also connected to the vents. Although I am confident of removing the back panel, Im a bit worried I might do something wrong when removing the fan. Do i have to remove the fan or can I get away without removing the fan and just cleaning the propeller.

Possible upgrades to the heatsinks and internal fans for MSI GE76 Raider 11UE-046?

Hello, I had this laptop since 2023 and maintained it well, I did my last repaste and reputty in December 2025. Instead of going with the stock heatsinks and fans, in case it goes bad later on, what other products are good recommendations you have for my laptop?

thermal interface on a laptop

I'm going to replace the thermal interface on my MSI Thin A15 B7UC. But I'm afraid that there might be liquid iron under the cooler. Who knows what kind of coating it has?

problem with screen after waking up form sleep mode

msi vector 16 hx

Lately im having this problem whenever i try to wake up my laptop from sleep mode sometimes it would just be a black screen but i can hear the music in background and the only thing i can see is the cursor which seems to interact with the web page i left on when it went to sleep.

Sometimes it's even worse because the laptop would just restart itself after the black screen

But sometimes if i leave the laptop to go to sleep and wake it up again it would return normal.

Btw i already tried to disable fast star up, update the gpu driver, performed a hard reset on the laptop through button button and the quick driver reset doesnt seem to work.

I dont want to be paranoid but this problem seems to have started to appear since i updated the bios to the latest version E15M3IMS.117, can anyone with this version tell me if they are experiencing the same issue?

I also saw that one of the nvidia driver update fixed the issue where some screen would not wake up from sleep mode and i updated it and at first it seems to have worked but after a while the problem reappeared

Any suggestion?

Im planning on buying a Gaming Laptop but all im hearing about the brand are bad things

I dont have much experience regarding gaming laptops but the general consensus im getting online is that MSI is bad and isnt worth the price.

My budget is around 70k php pesos, for a MSI Cyborg but all the reviews im seeing online just tell me to buy something else or get a bigger budget.

Need help: Want to run RAM at 5600 MHz on Raider GE78HX 13VH

So, I just recently upgraded my RAM to 64 GB 5600 MHz RAM in my Raider GE78HX 13VH. I know the RAM operates at 5600 MHz because it was running at 5600 Mhz in another laptop. The memory is Samsung 32GB DDR5 5600MHz PC5-44800 SODIMM 2Rx8 Dual Rank CL46 1.1v 262pin Non-ECC M425R4GA3BB0.


My question is how do I get it to run at 5600 MHz instead of 4800 MHz. I have gone into the advanced BIOS settings but I don't see any XMP profiles. Also when I do a 56 multiplier on the RAM, the system takes forever to boot. Any advice is appreciated as MSI tech support has been useless as they state they don't support overclocking...even though the product specifications state that the laptop can handle up to 5600 MHz RAM.



Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

MSI Vector 16 HX AI Undervolt mV recommendation?

I finally managed to get undervolting with Throttlestop working from my previous post, however I am not sure as to what value of undervolt I should set it for. I found an older post on a similar model of the Vector 16 but it had a different processor than mines. So I asked chat GPT and feed it that info, it suggested that it may not be applicable and instead suggested me to try -20 mV both at CPU Core and CPU P Cache which I then did.

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275 Hx
GPU: RTX 5080

Note: This picture shows setting for CPU Core, but the same is applied to CPU P Cache, except that CPU P Cache IccMax = 511 A \(default\)

Is -20 mV ok enough? How far can I realistically go with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275 Hx? So far -20 mV on both CPU Core and CPU P Cache seems stable (i.e. no crash).

Also, I noticed that IccMax by default was set to 1.00 A in the FIVR Control. If I left it at that and applied the -20 mV undervolt, my laptop became very slow. Opening task manager, processor will only show "0.40 Ghz". I then increased that limit further and that solved the problem (processor now goes to 4-4.8 Ghz), but I'm wondering if I can set IccMax all the way to the max since the current draw is usually dictated by other limits, not just IccMax (according to Chat GPT).

Also can anyone share undervolting graph for MSI RTX 5080 on after burner?

MSI GF65 Battery Issue

I have a MSI GF65 Thin, it was heating alot and doing its own thing and running normally and as i have some previous technical experience i changed the thermal paste flawlessly and it was a routine change. To do the thermal paste change i plugged my battery out to work safely, when i put it in it never gave power, the laptop kept being dependant on the charging cable to run, and whenever i took it off ut shuts down completely. Ive tried nearly everything and i want to know if the laptop has some hope or is it a common problem with a usual fix, the battery is new and i didnt replace it so long ago, except its not supplying power now.

The laptop reads the battery, and has given me its voltage and percentage which im not sure if its 100% correct, but its not supplying power as it should

Any help would be veryyy appreciated

Help finding a compatible USB-C PD to Barrel adapter for MSI Thin GF63 (12VE)

Guys, I’m trying to find a reliable 100W+ USB-C PD trigger cable/adapter for my MSI Thin GF63 12VE (requires a 4.5mm x 3.0mm barrel jack with a center pin).

I know the laptop doesn't natively support PD charging, but I'm looking for a workaround for light daily tasks. I have seen so many generic adapters for HP/Dell, butI know those have different center-pin configurations and I don't want to risk frying my motherboard.

Does anyone have a specific brand or reliable listing that actually works with the MSI 12VE series? Any recommendations for safe, 100W-rated cables that won't damage my charging port would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Need help with troubleshooting a new ssd

I recently had my hard drive corrupt in my msi raider ge76 laptop, so I scrounged some money together and got a new ssd. I got it put in, but the bios isnt reading the ssd. I tried putting windows and the irsd driver on one flash drive and assumed id be able to just smack it into the laptop and call it a day. That didnt work. I called msi support and they said I need the intel irsd driver and windows on seperate flash drives and I need both put onto the laptop. Am I being bullshitted, did I do something incorrectly? Please lmk.

Msi GF63 thin 11sc stopped charging and died.

Basically the title, started two nights ago after i dropped my charger then tried to plug in and i wouldn’t get a charging icon. tried to use another charger but still no use, now its dead and i have no way to charge it. any ideas what it could be? the charger i dropped was a replacement charger since the original one that came with the laptop tore at the tip. the replacement charger was dropped from the top of a bunk bed. my laptop wasn’t plugged in when i dropped the charger ive had the replacement charger for about two years now. i use my laptop very frequently and almost always plugged in while in a cool area with a laptop cooler on. could it be a charging port issue? ive tried a new lower wattage charger but no luck again. sorry for the brick of text
