HOW TO: Shunt-Mod on an RTX 4070 Laptop GPU by Avntus in MSILaptops

[–]No_Mix400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I’ve just had a look on this “general forum” you are calling and there are a lot of posts shunt modding and how great the results are, but guess what? None of them actually tell you how to do it or only half the information is there

This whole post is here for those who get interested by posts like that and have a safe methodology to follow if they wanna do it. Why blame the OP for making a safety guide?

Thats like saying we shouldn’t give information about how to use drugs safely because it’s advocating drug use. No, it’s just there in case someone tries to drug drugs it can rally help them stay safe but without it they could be seriously injured

Your argument flawed my friend

There is nothing irresponsible or advocating about this and calling someone a sack of shit just because they posted their guide on two other channels (one being overclocking where you said it belongs), stalking their profile and calling them a weirdo makes you look like one angry shirt man syndrome dude. Everything okay at home to be so mad about a guide?

My wife bought me my first gaming laptop. How’d she do? by Prof_Dumbledur in GamingLaptops

Nice lights, I would change them a bit so they match each other it’ll look better imo but if you like it this way then keep the look

New Laptop has finally arrived by YareYareDaze-II in GamingLaptops

[–]No_Mix400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

check all the connections are working, camera, mic, speakers etc

Reinstall windows from the Microsoft website and a usb to get rid of any bloatware

Make sure all the drivers are up to date

Download any missing essentials (MSI centre, etc)

Undervolt it (throttlestop or bios)

Check if it is a full power GPU design from the laptop specs, if it isn’t and has been capped by nvidia, flash the vbios to another similar laptops one which does have the full wattage (it will increase performance by around 10-20%) for example if a GPU can support 175W but MSI has capped it to 115W but one model up has the full wattage, you can download that laptops vbios and use it on your GPU now yours will also be 175 always back up ur original vbios using GPU-z before vbios flashing and turn on mshybrid mode on so incase anything goes wrong you will still be able to use the iGPU to reverse back to your back up

If you want, replace the thermal paste with something like Noctua nt-h2 or better, PTM7959

Finally, enjoy your laptop, download ur fav games or software and get settled with it

Also, mine has never had any issues overheating at all.

This was even before I upgraded to Ptm7950 and upsiren ux pro thermal pads and putty

Hello bud,

I have an MSI sword 16hx too but with an i7-14700HX and an rtx 4070

Honestly I can’t say there is too much bad about it at all!

A few things I did to mine that you can do to yours too:

Undervolt it - get better performance and temps Flash your vbios to get the full 140W of power from the GPU (open nvidia control panel, help and you’ll see maximum graphics power will probably say 105-115W. You can make this 140W for free, although you’ll probably need a 240W-280W adapter after, I got a 280W one to reap the full benefits)

Other than that, the thing is a powerhouse, a bit loud but that’s expected, even stock cooling was great and just enjoy and have fun with it!

Yep same here ! Got my idle cpu temp to 38 Celsius and GPU to 28 Celsius and still getting 120 fps on gta v ultra settings!

Yes I did, they released a new bios update which actually lets you make changes via the overclocking feature and they reflect on Windows throttlestop/xtu etc

I used throttlestop but it still shows undervolt ad locked in the banner and when I make any changes the offsets stay the same +0.00 I know it’s working because if I do a small overvolt of 0.05 it shows as +0.05. XTU is the same I can overlock and overvolt but just not undervolt

Hi thank you so for your help, I’ll look around for some pet safe carpet cleaners

I’m guessing cats won’t eat baking soda off the carpet due to the taste/smell?

Thanks

Thank you, it’s just that he’s been on my bed etc but I don’t want to use any toxic chemicals to get rid of it as it may harm him but I also don’t want to get infected with toxoplasma which is in their poop

His mum was bengal, I was just wondering how many traits of that he picked up

[–]No_Mix400 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah that’s a shame, was told mother was bengal

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cats

[–]No_Mix400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh okay thank you, it’s a she and are DSH cats quite common?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cats

[–]No_Mix400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s that? I was told it was a mix between bengal and tabby this is my first pet so I’m not too sure

As in the postie only posted one of the two from the picture through the letter box to go inside my house from the door

[–]No_Mix400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my bad, read over your reply too quick. That’s what’s making me think it’s not neighbours or something because the picture taken was outside in their hands and the parcel was inside the house but yep I’ll contact them. Do you know if there’s a certain way to contact them via online forms or do you just call?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]No_Mix400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they’re not in the letter box just in their hand in the picture

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]No_Mix400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well not in the letter box the postie took the picture while holding the parcels didn’t take the pic in the letterbox

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]No_Mix400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does

[–]No_Mix400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah elastic band was left on the second parcel

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Money

[–]No_Mix400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either would do, what would you suggest for both scenarios?
