MSI GP65 Disassembly and Upgrade (SSD, HDD, Ram)

[@ChazCartage]

I don't often comment but your video is the best one I have seen. You're direct, concise and no BS video filler in the beginning.

[@raedawnsardena1014]

I really like ur videos since I too have an MSI Laptop. And soon I plan on upgrading it myself. My only problem right now is I don’t know where to buy the right tools. Continue making this kind of vidoes!

[@frederickgreen5220]

that's the video I've been looking for !!!!!! good video

[@RyanCasey007]

I have a 10SFK-062 and I was wondering if you could just install another ssd alongside the other one? It seems like there is an extra ssd slot.

[@themadatheist1976]

I like this laptop, but I wished MSI would've made the bottom simple so people could add folding feet.

[@scrumblebump9613]

After adding the HDD, my case wont fully snap back together. It seems the hard drive is protruding, as the protective flap does not sit flat on top of the drive. Apparently this laptop requires the thinnest possible version of the 2.5" hard drive, as I bought a 0.37" thickness drive instead of 0.28". It's very frustrating that this is not specified in the manual anywhere. I wish I saw your drive recommendations first so I didn't have to go through this...

[@sourish535]

Can you please do a Repasting video of the msi gp65 leopard. There is this white thick thermal paste all over the VRams which is totally stuck like glue with the heatsink. It's so tight that I can't even pull it out.

[@Ivanious1]

I do not have access to the screws that come with the laptop manual shown, what kind of screws are these? I don't want to buy the wrong ones.

[@MrR8Grillz]

Same question! Cant find the screws in the original box and need to buy replacements

[@Ivanious1]

@@MrR8Grillz I literally ordered "2.5 Hard Drive Mount Screws" and they worked out just fine :]

[@Marci6644]

Does anyone know the exact sizing of the additional two screws from the manual packaging, the ones used to fasten the HDD to the bracket. I lost mine and I would like to replace them

[@MaGGotPit]

Did you ever get an answer? I have the Katana and I could dig out my manual and look for you once I get off work

[@Gunshow0]

Why do i have to install windows at the end? - home come i cant just take out the HDD and install the SDD, put it back together turn it on and them boom... right where i left off?

[@thango3292]

Is it possible to replace the cpu ?

I have a GP65 and it comes with 32GB RAM, I don't how yours hknow ad only 8 and needed to be upgraded to 16.

[@robinrahman1461]

Is this contain only 1 m.2 slot?

[@Sphynx93rkn]

Yes

[@mauro__col]

Thanks man

[@chrisbiohazard4890]

Thanks for making this video I recently got this laptop I will eventually upgrade all these parts to it.

[@nimbleglimpse]

Thank you so much for this amazing video! :)

[@themadatheist1976]

I have the GL65 with the 2060, I think the GP65 has the 2070? Going to get a reflow gun so I can add the 2nd m.2 slot MSI left off. Wow, surprised that model only had 1 RAM slot loaded. Mine came with 2 3200 Samsung 8GB sticks, the 512GB WD nvme, and a 7200rpm 1TB Seagate HDD.

[@themadatheist1976]

Update, I added the components for the 2nd m.2 slot and it works, now I have a dedicated nvme for my games.

[@danieltorresrincon5352]

It is possible add on other ssd or the laptop doesn’t hace other spot for?

[@kyutzymike]

there's 2nd ssd slot, can you buy the adaptor/socket to make it work??? it doesn't have the socket for it.

[@chinura771]

instead of an HDD can I use an SSD?

[@arashsaini4801]

Are there 2 additional 2.5 ports for HDD's? I mean you didn't remove the existing HDD and inserted the second one. That makes 2 ports of 2.5 Sata?

[@harleydee9318]

Say I wanted to replace the battery for this, which replacement would you recommend? My current one is acting strange, it says it has a full charge, but then you remove the charger wire...and it dies in 15mins. I thought to myself, well that isn't normal. I wasn't gaming or anything just yet. I tried calling MSI help center, and they were very unhelpful because they don't expect someone to want to fix their own laptop. The whole "send in for diagnostic test" saying.

[@waltertruenorth]

I have a quick question. The speakers on my one year old MSI GP65 9SD laptop don't have sound, it just happened a couple weeks ago. It stuck at headphones mode in Nahimic 3. It used to have pop up message asked me when I plugging in the headphones jack but it doesn't show the pop up anymore! I uninstalled and reinstalled Nahimic many times but it didn't fix the issue. Anyone has the same issue and know how to fix it, please let me know I will appreciate. I'm just using only headphones for watching KZbin and news now. Thank you.

[@shadanahmed5435]

Hi , i have similar issue, but when I sometime restart the laptop, the speakers and mic work, when I switch on the laptop after shutdown , no sound and mic Seems some kind of driver issue Tried rolling back and updating nahmic drivers, let me know if you were able to resolve the issue, right using Bluetooth speakers with no issue as workaround

[@gotravels700]

Is it good to upgrade it into samsung 990 pro ssd for the internal memory?

[@Kupandi]

laptop doesnt support 4th gen. You'll be wasting money. i reccomend any 3rd gen 3.5gbps ssd. Also make sure your screwdriver is magnetic. Some screws are hard to remove without magnets in this laptop.

[@ТенчоБъчваров]

Hello, what should be the hdd for this msi, I want to put 1 tb hdd but don't know what should be, is there specific model?

This video is extremely helpful and helping me find out where to go to upgrade the RAM. If I'm upgrading my SSD that already has Windows on it Do I need to do anything special? Sorry I've never upgraded an internal hard drive before from one that's already been used.

[@MaGGotPit]

I have the Katana, so if it's even Slightly similar the stock version will do what you need until you can upgrade... Horizon, spider-man, and RE2 in max has noticeable problems, but are very much playable, I have no issues in the setting right blow max, but ray tracing lags hard, you'll need that max 64gb of ram for it to run smoothly, or just more than the 16 it has, 32 would probably be ok, but it is expensive so might as well max that mug out

[@yanuarfirdaus2794]

what is the fit scew size on this laptop?

[@blakemisquez62]

Isn’t their two ssd slots? Or am I mistaken

I have a msi gl65 with a Intel cot i7 10th gen which has a 4gb nvidia gtx1650 and 8Gb of ram I was thinking of upgrading my laptop but I'm confused with which type of ram goes great with the laptop can you suggest a a good ram which I can use for the upgrade. Also is it possible to change graphic card if it does, I want to know if which rtx series I should go with

[@nerdynits5226]

Can i upgrade with ssd in place of the hdd slot ?

[@Skizz_Missive]

Yes you can, you may need one of those adapters/holders for it since the SSD would likely be smaller than a HDD. The speed may or may not be a bit bottlenecked as well but basically if you can fit it into the port it'll work lol
