What thermal paste do you use (follow up)
I just bought the PTM 7950 as suggested by the comments in my previous post (check my profile for reference) and had my laptop repasted, I'm soo glad, the temps stick to 60°C.
I'd like to thank everyone who dropped their advice in my post and recommended it, to anyone else looking for a thermal paste, definitely suggest the PTM 7950. It truly works wonders and is legit
Fr thanks everyone. A happy gamer here😁😁

a huge problem of my laptop
Hey so i have no idea where else to post this so i will just post it here and hope somebody helps me
So i had a MSI GF63 THIN 11UC laptop for around 3 years and ever since i got it it had a horrible problem. When my laptop was unplugged, the internet connection was normal, but when i plugged it in, it barely worked (mainly in games, when browsing the internet or bassically doing anything other that gaming it was fine ) within those 3 years i tried bassically everything. I updated all my drivers and bios, i changed my network adapter's channel width value from auto to 20MHz, ( which made the wifi better but still absolutely atrocious and it randomly disconnected and didnt want to connect back until i restarted the laptop ) and many other things but nothing really worked.
For clarification my wi fi shows 5 bars both plugged in and unplugged
If somebody needs some more information then tell me in the comments

MSI Vector A18 HX A9W - Bios Update Need Help
Need some help, as I'm about to pull my hair out over this. So I have the original bios that came with the laptop: (E182LAMS.10E) and I'm trying to update to the latest version, mainly to fix the screen flicker issue to current (E182LAMS.117). Problem I'm having is that I've formated my 32gb USB, placed the bios file in the root, and tried placing it in respected named folder, but when in Bios trying to select the bios file off the flash drive it only shows <efi>. Tried going through MSI center to do the bios update but it says use windows update to update the bios, but alas, there's no bios update available through windows update. Not sure if and what I'm doing wrong, as I've flashed bios in the past on other systems without issue. Some quirkiness I'm not aware of?

MSI Thin 15b
Всем привет, хотел бы спросить сталкивался ли кто-то с проблемой что на ноутбуке MSI Thin 15b при включении самого ноутбука клавиатура на пару секунд загорается, а потом когда сам ноут прогрузился то подсветка клавы перестаёт гореть и надо её самому через Fn+F8 включать? Раньше такой проблемы не было, это недавно началось

MSI GP76 Leopard 11UG – overheating, fan issues, poor gaming performance
Hey everyone,
My brother and I both own an MSI GP76 Leopard 11UG, and we’ve both had several issues.
My laptop:
Early on, I had severe screen flickering during games, and later the screen stopped turning on completely (while the laptop itself still worked). I sent it to MSI, and after a few months I got it back. Those screen issues are fixed now.
The hinge is broken so I cant close it. The fact that the hinges are such poor quality is crazy.
Current issue:
The main problem is overheating during gaming. All drivers are fully up to date. When playing games like Assetto Corsa or GTA V (even on the lowest settings), my GPU usage jumps to 99% only during games. Is that normal?
At the same time, the GPU temperature goes above 90°C, even with Cooler Boost enabled at maximum. Performance feels far below what I’d expect from this hardware.
My brother’s laptop:
His laptop had a loud rattling fan. MSI repaired it, but after a ~2 month repair time, the noise came back within a week (now from the other fan). It’s currently back at MSI again.
Looking for advice:
Any advice on GPU usage, temperatures, or known GP76 issues would be greatly appreciated.

GF 63 keyboard
Hey guys,
So as the noscript suggests, I might have screwd up pretty bad. Long story short my mate managed to get a LOT of sprite all over the keyboard. Did all the smart steps and it worked but it got all sticky keys (wow suprise I know). Service places denied cleaning since it is a rivotted keyboard and they dont want to break it so either an external keyboard will be the way or an expensive change. Question is how compatible are older gen (like 8 or 9) keyboards with the newer 11 gen?
Alao if anyone has experience running this laptop more as a rig with external hardware I am open to any advice pro or contra. Thanks in advance

MSI center
Bonjour,
Suite à une mise à jour du BIOS sur mon MSI Katana 17 B13V, le système m’a demandé la clé de récupération BitLocker que je n’avais pas à ce moment-là. J’ai donc été contraint d’effectuer une réinitialisation complète de Windows en mode usine.
Depuis cette réinitialisation, je rencontre plusieurs problèmes :
MSI Center ne propose plus les options de basculement graphique (GPU discret / hybride / équilibré).
De nombreux dysfonctionnements apparaissent au niveau des mises à jour Windows et des pilotes.
Le BIOS est désormais bien à jour et la clé de récupération BitLocker est correctement enregistrée sur mon compte Microsoft. En revanche, l’ancienne session Windows a été perdue lors de la réinitialisation.
Je souhaiterais savoir quelle procédure vous me recommandez pour rétablir un fonctionnement normal du système (pilotes, MSI Center, gestion GPU), et s’il est nécessaire ou non de procéder à une nouvelle réinstallation propre de Windows.
Merci par avance pour votre aide.

GP63 Leopard 8RE Charger busted?
Hi!
So I have a Leopard 8RE that I've been using for the past few years that I've been pretty happy with, but tonight it stopped charging all of a sudden.
I was playing Marvel Rivals and the game started lagging like if I was playing without the adapter in. When I checked, it was still plugged in but the little light on the adapter box wasn't on. I unplugged the charger from my powerstrip and plugged it back in, the light came on again and when I plugged the adapter back into the computer it started charging like normal. Until I turned MR back on and the laptop stopped charging and the light went off on the adapter again.
I wanted to test it with a different game but when I plugged a controller into the laptop the same thing happened. So I unplugged and re-plugged the adapter into the powerstrip again, but this time the light turned off as soon as I plugged it into the computer.
Now unplugging and replugging the adapter does nothing. It seems like it's just not taking any power in at all.
Can I replace the adapter and it'll be fine? Or is this potentially something wrong inside the computer I need to worry about? And how do I find a replacement adapter if that is it?

Best thermal paste for GE78 14VIG
My GE78 laptop is getting very hot and even after gaming, the CPU temperature is still 90 degrees Celsius on idle, even after 1.5 years of purchase.
I am looking for a good and suitable thermal paste for it. Since I can't find PTM7950 thermal paste in my country, I am looking for Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or MX-6 or Cooler Master MASTERGEL MAKER thermal paste.
Which one do you think is good for my GE78?
Do I even need thermal pads for VRM and VRAM, since the paste is factory paste?

How to Switch Boot Drives?
Hi, I got a Vector 16 HX AI A2XWHG about 3 months ago. I also got a Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB to Upgrade from the 1TB Micron 2500 it came with. I successfully cloned the drive, but when I go into BIOS, only my 1TB SSD is showing up as an available boot drive. My Samsung is still detected in the Drive Information section, but I'm not sure what happened. I used Macrium Reflect to clone my drive, but I'm not sure if that would be the reason why. Any advice? Thanks!
