Hi Svet,

sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I will open a new thread.

Sandy Bridge mobile CPUs not posting on GT60

lo all,

I wanted to bench a few Sandy bridge CPUs on the MSI GT60 OND model. I already own Svets Bios (E16F130IMS.30S) However could it be that the Sandy Bridge microcode is not supported. I've already tested one 2510M on the Acer laptop and it works there. On the GT60 it stays powered on, but I've got no display, nor does it seem to boot into windows. I always resetted the CMOSS. The Ivy 3210M and the 3610QM work fab... The Sandy 2410 and 2520M don't post

Any input is welcome

So i'm really wanting to flash this on my GT70 (1762) but the question is, which version do i install? My NB came pre-installed with Win8 but i then downgraded it to Win7. Should I use Win7 or Win8 version?

 

[Svet]

check your current EC version if its Win7 one, then use win7 ec, and use win8 if your current is win8 one

 

[SiddVicious]

Oddly enough the tool isn't showing an EC version, could i find this if i booted into the BIOS?

 

[Svet]

yes EC reading is only for some older machines
look in bios setup system info instead

 

[SiddVicious]

So I just looked it up and according to BIOS it's 1762EMS1 ver 5.03

I'm still a little unclear, it doesn't say T16 or T17

 

[Svet]

5.xx is Win8 version
so go for T17

 

[SiddVicious]

perfect, thank you for your help!

Come on MSI, provide an unthrottled version of the latest EC.

It's not that hard.

 

[Svet]

this is test EC, not supported officially only for testing purpose, there will be no updates on this.

I know, I read the thread.

Regardless, why not release an updated version? The community is asking for it and that's not a bad thing.

This may sound stupid but I just need a second opinion as control:

1) 1762EMS1_T16.rar is suitable for my GT70-0ND-1063DE? I have Windows 7 64bit installed atm, however, it came with Windows 8 preinstalled... so is the T16 or the T17 the right one to use?

2) What exactly is a barebone? How do I recognize it? My GT70 has the MSI logo on it, so I assume it's not a barebone?

3) Is there an original EC available for download just in case I want to revert my actions?

Thx

 

[Svet]

1 tell your current ec version, look in bios setup

2 check your current BIOS & EC versions, they will tell if its barabone or not.
barabone means, not retail model, but customized build and some of retail features can be missed like Turbo or others.

3 what is your original EC version?

 

[Troll Collect]

OK, my BIOS version is: E1762IMS.50U
EC: 1762EMS1 Ver. 5.04

Thanks for your reply

 

[Svet]

its retail model, you can use the EC-FW attached in topic

you current firmware is Win8 one, so use Win8 EC

 

[reedandbic]

could this beta ec be used for GT60 2OD(haswell version)?
or the Haswell version GT60 doesn't need the non-throtte ec bios?
cause I want buy a cheap GT60 2OD (4700mq+780m)

 

[Svet]

could this beta ec be used for GT60 2OD(haswell version)?

no

or the Haswell version GT60 doesn't need the non-throtte ec bios?

no need
