Upgrading my MSI GL62 6QF

Hello I would like some help on how to upgrade my laptop. I use it for work but lately it has become very slow with high memory usage. Any suggestions? Should I add an SSD? And if so which one? Do I install it where the CD reader is?

Any Recommendations for Hubs to Use for MSIs?

I'm looking for something that will allow me to add a few monitors to my MSI. I was thinking about some of those screens you can attach directly to the laptop but I think there is an issue with mine only having 1 USB-C port so a triple screen would need power to the 3rd screen.

Anyway, any suggestions my MSI Reddit Family?

The Product is damaged due to alterations, changes, modifications, repair, or other services performed by a third party that is not authorized by MSI;

Does this mean I can’t upgrade ram or storage? The representative on the phone will told me yes I could change those without voiding my warranty. I know changing the display but just the storage and ram?

Raider GE76, replaced my fans after bearing went out, but now GPU fan won't turn on.

So I bought a GE76 Raider a few years ago and about a week ago the GPU fan went out. It started making a grinding noise that would start and stop. I figured the bearing was going out, so I turned it off and figured I needed to swap it. I had to use the laptop for some school stuff, so unfortunately I had to still run it a few times during the week and a half it took for the replacement to arrive. I turned the GPU fan off on MSI Center while I was using it to avoid any issues. Today, I replaced the fan, cleaned out the case, closed it up, and the laptops now running fine, the CPU fan replacement is great, but the GPU fan is now not working. I decided to swap both the fans while I had it open since the replacement came in a set. What I'm seeing with the hardware monitoring is that the GPU fan will stay at 0rpm while cooler boost is on, then every 10 seconds or so it'll go from 0rpm to between 1500-4000rpm, and then jump to 18000rpm, before going back to 0rpm. When it does this the fan doesn't spin up at all. My concern is that because I kept using it something may have happened to the board, but I'm curious if anyone else has had experience with this and has a fix or troubleshooting ideas. The hardware test shows and recognizes fan 2, but doesn't even list fan 1. Any help, suggestions, or ideas are welcome.

Laptop CPU/GPU Loads

So I just want to start by saying I truly have no idea what is the issue but I've got several problems within this.

I have an MSI Crosshair 16 and it's a fairly new laptop. I bought it back in May of this year and over the summer I didn't really have any issues with it. It worked great and was an amazing laptop. But I'm also in the navy aboard a very active ship which meant going in and out a lot and being away from wifi allowing updates to drivers and windows. I had came back in August and was greeted with a new driver update for nvidia. After downloading that update my performance tanked and I started getting a lot of artifracting issues. After some messing around and talking to MSI support which lead me to using DDU the issue was kind of fixed. Any laptop software updates though did cause some issues but running DDU and reinstalling drivers generally fixed the problems that were prevalent. Another issue that signaled something was wrong was my laptop RGB keyboard turning off upon start up, it would turn on and until I loaded into the main homescreen would stay on but then shut off meaning there was something wrong again. No action by me and I would immediately notice my CPU load spike and any games I tried to play artifracted or tanked when there was never previously an issue with those games.


I left for a deployment in august and while away I had no issues with the laptop with the exception of two isolated keyboard lights shut offs but the rest of the time the keyboard stayed on and the system behaved. I just got back though and since then the system worked for the first few days but now it's having a host of issues which are resulting in extremely bizarre performance problems. There is no more artifracting but the performance issues are signaled by the keyboard lighting turning off once again while CPU loads just spike and games just tank in playability. Normally FPS had remained at or above 70 but now it's 28 or less. GPU and CPU temps are fine, the system hasn't detected any problems itself, and task manager isn't showing anything out of the ordinary or believed to be out of the ordinary to me.

MSI Support, me, and tech friends are all puzzled though one possible problem is that the board is potentially dying or something is corrupted with the CPU. I think this could be a hardware issue but what do other people think?

MSI GE66 12UGS boot issue

So basically, here’s a rundown of what happened. I was playing Helldivers 2 with a friend and my PC was chugging and overheating, so I closed the game and turned it off. I took out the screws and used a mini hoover to get rid of the dust. The weird thing is, I tested it before I put the back on and it worked fine. But after I put the back on with the screws, now it boot loops sometimes. Other times it boots up normally, but the power button acts like it's constantly being pressed. Oh, and it only boots with the power cable attached. Can anyone help?

Help not ruining my laptop

I usually send my laptop to a technician to clean it and replace the thermal paste, but I really want to try doing it myself. I’m a bit scared, though, because once I tried opening an old 2009 laptop that was barely working, and after reassembling it, it didn’t work anymore :'D.

Even though I don’t think I damaged anything, I later read about static electricity damage, which might be the reason the laptop stopped working, even though I had detached the battery. However, I don’t fully understand how that happens. Because of that experience, I’m now hesitant to do the same with my personal laptop, an MSI GF65, and I’m afraid it might end up with the same fate as the old one.

So what are the things I should avoid and take care of while operating this mission.

Low cinebench scores and abysmal battery performance on msi katana 15

Hello everyone!



I recently got a msi katana 15 B14W with the i9 14900hx and rtx 5060 8gb.



I did some benchmarking with cinebench and I got 21k score for multi core and 2k for single core, I asked chatgpt about this and according to it the scores shouldn't be this low.



Also, the performance on battery is absolute trash like it sometimes caps the cpu at 0.4ghz making it unusable for a minute or two and i get only 5 fps in games i get 160 in while plugged in.



I have all the settings at max performance and also got the battery replaced under warranty but nothing helped.



It would be really helpful if someone with the same specs could share their scores too.
