Cyborg 15 A13VEK SSD/RAM upgrade

Hi everyone,


I’m planning to upgrade my laptop’s SSD (to 1TB) and RAM (to 32GB)

Use case:
- Gaming
- Programming (Docker, IDEs, Postman, Chrome windows)

Laptop Specs

Model: MSI Cyborg 15 A13VEK
CPU: 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4050 (6GB)
RAM: DDR5-5200 (max 64GB, 2 slots) (2x8GB 5600(default) and 5200 (kingston))
Storage: 1× M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 slot (512GB, default)

SSD Options

- Kingston NVMe Gen 4 (1TB) (physical store)
- Samsung 990 EVO Plus (1TB) (online store)

RAM Options (DDR5 2×16GB)

- Transcend DDR5 SODIMM 5200mhz iirc (physical store)
- Crucial 5600MHz CL46 Unbuffered SODIMM CT16G56C46S5 (online store)

Cant find DDR5 5200 on online stores in my country. If theres a listing, then it is out of stock. I found there's a Kingston ValueRam DDR5 5200mhz but is it 32GB.

Questions

SSD

- Is the Samsung 990 EVO Plus a good choice and fully compatible with the MSI Cyborg 15 A13VEK?
- Are there better Samsung SSDs in terms of quality or sustained performance that are still reasonably priced?

RAM

- Should I go with Crucial, or are there more affordable alternatives with similar reliability?
- Is Transcend RAM good for long-term use?

Thanks!

Updated my ssd (HELP)

So I just updated my ssd to 1tb but now it’s just stuck on the Msi bio startup. I’ve tried to save and exit three times but it just brings the bios system back up. Am I missing something??

How to chech which one is fan 1 and fan 2?

I have a MSI Katana GF66. And my right side fan is making some horrible noise. I got it cleaned up from inside recently. But the issue isn't fixed. So I am thinking that I should get the fan replaced. But when filling the form, how do I verify if the right side fan (on the numpad's side) is fan 1 or fan 2?

Some additional info - The fan makes noise when I do gaming, so I thinf it's the GPU fan. But I am not sure that's why I am here.

Even in MSI center, it's only listed as fan 1 and fan 2. And normally, fan 1 rotates at around 2500 RPM, while fan 2 remains at 0. But when I use cooler boost, fan 1 goes over 5000 RPM, and fan 2 approx 3000 RPM.

My a18 eaider hx a9w has no no sound

The aux does work, so does the bluetooth but i can't play any sound from the speakers. And yes i'm not dumb, i have reinstalled all the audio drivers, and restarted my laptop. ItQ's strange how there is no posts on audio or sound in the last year. Feels like somethings off here... and it's not my sound.


And oh did i mention its a flippinh a18 raider with a 5090 laptop gpu and 9hx3d, 64 gb ddr5 ram? I would expect for 4000 dubloons for the sound to work. I did get the warranty+premium pro deluxe, so if nobody has a real answer i will just go back to the store i bought it from.

Msi Delta 15 Temperature issues

I have a delta 15 with Ryzen 7 5800h and Radeon rx 6700m.
The laptop generally works pretty well, but I keep having an issue where once temps get too high instead of thermal throttle the fans spin up to 100% and the system powers off a few seconds later.
That’s already reasonably annoying for playing video games, but for rendering it’s awful. How do I fix this?
