Shutdown the notebook. Start tapping away at f11 as soon as you press the power button to launch Recovery Manager which you can then reset to factory settings....it may take a few tries and make sure the power plug is connected. i do it quite often for friends and no matter how many times i...
almost all factory laptops have a recovery partition on it to set it back to factory settings, if you list the make/model of laptop then i can find you the key combination to access it, alot better than having to go through and dl drivers
cooler is 139mm tall
i couldnt find any specification on the case its self however the rear fan is 120mm so the other 19mm is less than an inch. the i/o panel is taller than that so it should fit fine and you will be able to face it that way if you wish
i would go with a 860 as well because it wil natively support dx12,
also in some games the 860m performs better than the 770m so its a toss up

i would go with the one that has the newer tech support
the fangbook i have doesnt have any of msi throttling bloatware that i know of and i cant speak for msi just their desktop motherboards. the laptop mobo are good i love mine but it isnt like how matt described with throttling issues do to software in my fangbook. the msi laptops might have...
the only thing its missing is a ssd
you could knock down to 8gb ram and a 4700mq this will save you 130 so you can add a ssd....EDIT: i did some configurating and with a 4700mq 880m ssd 1tb hdd no windows 7(dont know how ya feel about 8) and free AC4 it was 1938
i messed around with the...
all highend laptops run hot, mine is like a heater but the design of most highend laptops vent the heat out of the sides and or back. so its not quite the same as a oem laptop blowing hot air from underneath. so long as its on a desk or table it is fine, just be aware whats around your vents it...
even in custom laptops they lock the bios, you can unlock the bios but even then the most you can get out of a laptop processor is about an extra 200mhz. speedstep is different and its not msi software it is intel software. it also only needs a mobo that supports speedstep and its not like...
if matt is talking about desktop boards it is a different animal. the i7 on laptops dont use enough voltage to draw this. mine boosts to 3.4hz fine and i have a i7-4700mq
if it has the 880 then i would go with it for max graphics so long as it doesnt skimp on the other specs like ram speeds or i7 specs. most of the custom build lapops like i buypower and cyber power use msi boards anyway. mine has one and ive never had a problem with it
@matt i cant speak for the 8xx series but my 770m can barely run 3 monitors @ 720p and med settings on tomb raider and bioshock infinite. i agree with you if op is considering for triple monitors they need a desktop

this one has a 870m (very powerful) gpu inside it and still leaves you enough room in the configurator to get a ssd with it. plus you can get a bunch of free goodies if you go through the configurator, just make sure they...
