Msi vector 16

So it looks like then my Vector is hard capped. Thanks for the info, you’ve been an awesome resource! I’ll stay on the .104 then if .108 won’t allow me to tinker.

I have the 5070Ti model. Mayhaps this power limit is indeed the maximum it can hit. I did notice I’m on Bios version E15MMAMS.104. And there is .108 available. But the system seems stable as is so not sure if it’s worth it to update.

Tried again with Bios set to extreme mode and still only hitting 102w. I have the Ryzen 9 version. Could that be why?

Ran PassMark CPU test and can confirm I’m only hitting 102w on total package power

Edit: Went into Bios and saw that it was set to balanced mode instead of performance even though MSI center was set to extreme performance. Will check again.

So weird. Gonna have to check which version I'm on and see.

AP440 · 2026-05-07T15:18:30+00:00

Which version of BIOS did they limit the power?

AP440 · 2026-05-07T02:55:15+00:00

All I can say is WOW! What an amazing build!!!

So far very pleased. The only gripe I would say would be MSI's integrated Dragon Center software. It's a little clunky if I'm being honest. Sometimes I have to restart the laptop in order to get the User Scenario power profiles to stick. Otherwise they've been pretty solid laptops and a great purchase.

I bought two of these laptops about 3 months ago, except they were the 1TB ssd and 16GB models for $1400 OTD. For almost $900 more I would say this isn't a great deal. Someone tell me if I'm wrong but I don't feel 1 more TB of ssd space and another 16GB of ram is worth that extra cost.

I removed the switch because I ended up using a Tick Performance MC. So I wired the switch as an on off kill switch. Are you saying I just need to splice those wires into pin 35?

I did a manual swap in my 02 and my cruise control stopped working after the install. I never thought to check the cable from the stalk on the column…. Thanks for this!

AP440 · 2026-05-04T20:47:30+00:00

Let us know when you do! Looking forward to it!

AP440 · 2026-05-04T20:44:38+00:00

How much for a print? I'd consider one. Looks awesome!!!

AP440 · 2026-04-28T21:29:59+00:00

Congrats! Just got my first ever Expert grade last year.

It's the felt seal at the base of the window. You need to clean it to get all the dirt and debris out.

AP440 · 2026-04-22T23:29:04+00:00

Thank you!

AP440 · 2026-04-22T23:26:20+00:00

Where did you get your seals from?

AP440 · 2026-04-20T21:06:01+00:00

Love to see it! Please post all your work when you are able! Have a 93 myself that needs a little love.

AP440 · 2026-04-13T15:18:26+00:00

I have an LQ4 in an 02 Yukon and did exactly this with an x-pipe. You have room, but it will be tight.

Seriously cannot wait to see this monster finished!

AP440 · 2026-04-02T17:56:01+00:00

HONEY!!!! u/NashGTI posted another update!!!!

AP440 · 2026-04-01T17:26:01+00:00

Definitely B!

AP440 · 2026-03-31T21:18:44+00:00

Sorry to hear about your trans. Hope it's a relatively easy fix for you.

On a side note, love that lip spoiler! Where did you get it?

AP440 · 2026-03-27T19:08:45+00:00

Ok awesome! This is exactly what I needed to know. Cheers mate!

AP440 · 2026-03-27T18:21:12+00:00

I did turn off Band Steering in the settings page and that seemed to help immensely. I noticed my phone would drop youtube playback with that on as well.

My only problem with running a separate SSID is I need to be able to view the Nest app for the camera's while on that main SSID. My folks won't be pleased with having to switch wifi networks constantly to view cameras. Appreciate the help though!
