Cleaning windows iso's with MSMG Toolkit Safe?
Snowleopard replied to Snowleopard's topic in Windows
Yeah, I watched that video, but wasn't sure if that toolkit had other stuff going on or if it was legit and safe to use. If it is safe, that would save a lot of headache vs installing the standard iso and then having to hack everything apart to remove stuff after the fact. -
I have seen stripped down ISO's for Windows 10 and 11 and wanted to know how people do that. I guess there is a script file on the ISO that goes through everything and I found the MSMG Toolkit site, but is that safe? And what if you want to bundle some Windows updates in the ISO so you don't have to manually do a windows update later?
-
I assume that you need to unlock the bios to pick a startup screen, is that hard to do if you want a custom start up screen?
-
I am not over clocking, but I do have it set to performance mode so I don't have all the benchmark tools on it That PTM 7950 looks good, I might try that. Now that the fan control software is working, If I set the fans to max, the laptop cools off pretty quick and then I set it back to automatic.
-
I got my fans working again, must have been a software glitch,but the laptop is getting hot enough that the thermal sensors are shutting it off, does this mean I need to pull the heatsink and apply new thermal paste? I have only added ram and nvme's since buying it, I haven't done a tear down.
-
Is there any update for the control center and fan controls, for some reason, when I customize the fan settings in control center, they don't change anymore.
-
Interesting, I googled the part number and it is only available in europe right now..... once it is available in the US I would be interested in it. Thank you!

I have been watching all the stuff going on with water cooling the X170sm-g and it is interesting, but in my case, I wanted a desktop replacement laptop to travel with, so for everyone that is water cooling their X170's does that mean you just use it as a desktop and it never leaves your desk? 😄
-
Is there one of these for the nvme drives also? there are 2 different thermal pads one thin one and one thick one? are they 2.5mm and 5mm thick? I could not find the specs anywhere for them.
-
So I just saw this video about a Asus laptop /motherboard with an RTX4080. So were are the MXM ones for Clevo?
-
I went rogue and bought a laptop before checking Notebook Review and went with the Eurocom Sky Z7 so unfortunately I am not allowed to have PREMA Bios, it is sad that customers have to deal with that because of a falling out with a distributor of Clevo Laptops. I do have the single 780w power supply though 😄 I found the menu, apparently with the unlocked BIOS there is a menu to display and hide specific menus too so when I treid some settings the Memory overclocking menu disappeared. I don't know why you would want to hide certain menus if you just lock or unlock the BIOS. However I am running 32gb Ballisticks sticks and using the XMP Profile the laptop doesn't boot up so I had to "Fn-D" to reset it and boot back up.
-
No, I don't have an XMG machine 😞
-
Ok, I have the bios unlocked and wow there are so many options now. I think I found where to update the XMP settings but then couldn't find it again. I want to use XMP to get the full speed of my Ballistix sticks. How do I get to the menu to update the XMP settings again?
-
Is the other bios unlocker from Danske available still? I am running 4x32gb Crucial Ballistix ram but I don't have the ability to go to advanced memory settings for XMP.
-
I am trying to find instructions on how to edit the windows install script/ files. Even with an ISO for LTSC, I want to disable telemetry and other things like windows update at installation before Windows is loaded on the computer. Does anyone have links to guides or videos on how to do this?
-
I think I am going to hold off on another laptop till DDR5 or DD6 is available, hopefully the X170SM-G will last me that long, and hopefully PCIE 5 will be out too. I heard something is already getting ready to replace M.2 NVMe's Just for shits and Giggles I went to Apples website earlier and configured a Loaded Mac Pro desktop.... $48,950. Then I reminded myself that I have an X170SM-G. lol
-
Has anyone seen 64gb DDR4 modules? I could use 4 of them 😄
-
I never was a fan of Nvidia GPU's but with the x170smg I got the rtx2070 and right now AMD (ATI) GPU's have been in the news a lot about better performance per watt so i was wondering if there are any AMD / ATI GPU's that would be an upgrade over what Nvidia has for the 170-SM-G
-
I believe the bios unlocker is no longer available at that link. Does someone have it in another location for download?
-
Where do I find the instructions for the driver modifications?
-
Are the x170SM-G's still maxed out with RTX 20x cards? I remember on NBR people were trying to upgrade to RTX30x cards and the case had to be modified? and any word on RTX 40x cards for clevos yet? Trying to think about future upgrades..... I am running the 780w single power supply.
-
Sorry, yes the 990 Pro 😄 .... The 4TB 860/870's are not M.2, There is no spot for 2.5 inch drives in the x170...lol The M.2 Sata drive I went with was the Western Digital Blue 2TB, it came with a 5 year warranty but it wasn't my first choice.
-
I needed space for Photo and Video work so took the hit because there are some black friday deals coming up on NVME and SATA M.2's. I am running 3 2TB NMVE's and 1 2TB M.2 SATA in my X170SM-G now. 4TB drives are still really expensive. I might replace the 2 TB NVME's with Samsun EVO 990 4TB drives when they come out next year.
-
So the thermal pads that come with the X170SM-G for the SSD's? are they 5mm or 4mm thick? I just want to order the bulk pads online and cut them myself. I think I got 2 different thicknesses with my laptop, one that is really thick and one set that is thinner.
-
I have never heard of this site, there is no malware or viruses in those builds?
