MSI Stealth 18 HX AI vs Raider GE78 vs Vector 17 HX

There is an option for me to buy one of these 3 laptops in a good price.

Stealth 18 - RTX 5080, Intel Ultra 9 275HX, 64GB ram, 4K display

Raider Ge78 - RTX 4080, i9-14900HX, 32GB ram, 2K display

Vector 17 - RTX 4080, i9-14900HX, 32GB ram, 2k display

What do you guys think? Im not sure what to get.

The Stealth 18 is supposed to have the best specs but I heard it performs worse because its built to be thin and portable, also the screen has too high res for a laptop tbh. It also has 280W Ac adapter which is kinda low for that spec.

The Raider and Vector are similar but from what I know the Raider has backlight bleeding problems and low contrast ratio. But I've seen performance tests and it does really good.

The Vector should perform identical to the raider, but maybe it has a better screen and I like the design a lot more.

Does anyone have any of these and could tell me whats the experience??

Fan control and performance apps

Does anyone know any apps better than msi centre for fan speed control and user scenario(silent, balance, extreme performance)

Even when i put it to silent my fans still stay loud for some time and sometimes they randomly get loud when im doing basic tasks like word.

Aumento de memoria a MSI Katana b14wgk

Hola, tengo una msi katana 15 hx b14wgk-293us-bb71465x16gxxdx11ma , con procesador Intel® Core™ i7-14650HX, RTX 5070 de 8gb, 16 gb de Ram de 5600 MHz y 1TB de SSD.


Quiero actualizar tanto la memoria Ram y la SSD, cuál es la capacidad máxima que me soporta de memoria ram? Trabajo en un estudio de arquitectura y requiero más Ram, ya que trabajo mucho con modelados y uso Twinmotion, D5 Render, y varios motores de renders. Ya que se tironea mucho al usar esos programas.


Que me recomiendan? Aumentar a 32 gb o 64 gb? Bastará los 32 gb? O me opto a los 64 gb?


Y de la SSD, quisiera agregarle otra SSD para aumentarle la memoria, pero quiero ver tambien si la laptop lo permite, si tiene más slots para agregar otra SSD.


Saludos a todos

how much memory can i put in my msi cx61 2pf?

Currently have 16Gb ram on my i7, nvidia geforce 840M (which is barely used as far as i can tell from the task manager). Used mostly for programming, running docker/vmware, and internet stuff and its running at low cpu but 80/90% memory. I dont really want a new laptop so looking to maximise what i can upgrade on this.

MSI VECTOR 16HX AI A2XWHG BIOS E15M3IMS.114 is locking my CPU to 55W — anyone else experiencing this?

https://preview.redd.it/jkg8py8d6u5g1.png?width=2557&format=png&auto=webp&s=6db13b2c948fa8bce83e6ff062ed2f3632d5a5c8

Im running an **MSI laptop with BIOS version E15M3IMS.114**, and I’ve noticed that this BIOS version **hard-limits my CPU (Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX) to only 55W**, even under full load.

# 🔍 Symptoms

* Cinebench R23 multi-core score is **much lower than expected**
* CPU never goes above **55W**, even in Extreme Performance / Discrete GPU mode
* Temps are fine (around 75–80°C), so thermal throttling isn't the cause
* Older BIOS versions did **not** have this 55W limit

# ❓ My question

Is anyone else on BIOS **E15M3IMS.114** seeing the same **55W CPU power limit**?

Is this:

* a **bug**,
* an intentional **power limit change**, or
* something MSI will fix in the next BIOS update?

This issue affects performance heavily, especially on a high-core-count CPU like the 275HX.

# 🛠️ What I already tried

* Reset BIOS → No change
* Reinstall Windows → No change
* MSI Center & latest drivers → No change
* EC reset → No change

It looks like the BIOS itself is enforcing a strict PPT limit.

Why is HWiNFO reporting some CPU cores are thermal throttling even though the CPU core temperatures according to HWiNFO/CoreTemp is much below TjMAX?

Why is HWiNFO reporting some CPU cores are thermal throttling, even though their temperatures according to HWiNFO and CoreTemp is much below TjMAX? https://ia803401.us.archive.org/19/items/images-for-questions/gXk7R3Iz.png

HWiNFO says thermal throttling is based on CPU core temperatures so I am confused: https://ia803401.us.archive.org/19/items/images-for-questions/ySPrEx0w.png

Is MSI C1MG-046IN Modern 15 H Al Good?

I am searching for a decent light laptop with good CPU+RAM. The Modern 15 H Al provides ultra 7 processor with 16gb DDR5 upto 96gb dual slot with intel arc graphics integrated 512gb ssd. I won't be playing games on it. I am a cybersecurity beginner so i would mostly use it to run VMs.I checked my nearest MSI brand Store, the clerk there told me this model has been discontinued months ago, I also checked some reviews saying it's build is trash, its hinges don't even last a year. I would need it to run atleast 4 years without any problem until i complete my degree. So is MSI worth buying? My budget is between 60-70k inr max.

Vector 16 hx ai laptop usb c charging

From what I understand the PD3.1 usbc standard supports upto 140W charging for this laptop.

The one that's provided is way too chunky to carry around, while barely being usable at home..

Can I use any usb charging brick that provides the appropriate power to this laptop?

Just wondering

Does anyone happened to have the raider 16HX AI? (Not the GE68) i would like to ask, how are the temps and everything so far - especially combined with the more efficient core ultra chips.

Im out of ideas anybody know of a fix or is this normal?

WiFi drivers

Sometimes and with no apparent reason, my MSI Katana a15 WiFi and Bluetooth drivers just... stop working
When they do there is physically no option to connect anything and it's just really frustrating because the whole laptop essentially becomes useless to me
Is there any way I can make this stop happening?
