560tf oc voltage discrepancy

Hi, i have a 560 tf oc and have noticed the following..
The factory shipped voltage is set at 1.037v, however whenever it is simply on the desktop etc it drops the volts to 0.95, this is causing black screens and kernel driver crashes which it recovers from, mostly.
If i up the volts to the shipped 1.037v then it dosnt do it, problem is i cannot stop it dropping back to 0.95, even if i select "Force constant voltage" on the general tab of afterburner.  It keep sdropping down every time i exit any program and then black screen crash, most annoying is when i launch a game it takes a moment to up the voltage, in that time it usually crashes and i cannot launch the game.
I bought a pre clocked card to avoid having to mess with it, and i am not about to start messing with bios on the card.
Any thoughts how else to keep it staying at 1.037v??
Richie.

test the card in another PC and see how its goes there if problem persist RMA it

  • P55-GD65 Voltage Discrepancy

    Why is the voltage variance of this board so high?  With low Vdroop enabled on a voltage of lets say 1.36 in the bios I get a 1.40v reading in CPU Z @ idle.  This turns into 1.42 or more under load. Am I missing a setting that will keep it closer to what I set it at?  This variance is rather ridiculous if you ask me.  I have all the standard power saving features turned off before anyone asks. 
    Thanks! 
    My System:
    Mobo: MSI P55-GD65
    CPU: Intel i5 750
    GPU: Ati 4870x2 2 GB
    Mem: 2X 2 GB G.Skills Ripjaws DDR3 1600
    SSD: OCZ Agility 60 GB
    HD: 2x WD Black 500gb ea Raid 0
    PSU: PC P&C Silencer 750

    Songokussm the same issues I reported to support, they responded to me, that my MB is faulty and I should RMA ( did it twice, 4 month without MB ) I prove them otherwise, I had 3MB P55-GD65 with the same issues. Short speaking every MB with ERP=040 is faulty on engineering level Overvoltage like you described, problems with fans on sysfan1 and sysfan2, restore AC on power loss not working correctly and sometimes USB2 stops responding.
    My conversation with MSI support ended when they statement that they can`t check if I`m correct because they don`t have MB with ERP=040, so the problem is .... gone  I bet that with bios 1.9 in your case issue still occur but is`t less "visible".

  • PT880 voltage problem

    Just installed a PT880 and in the BIOS the -5v shows up at -3.5v, which is more than a bit off. Is this a glitch or something I should worry about? The other voltages are good, and the system runs stable. The only odd thing I noticed is that the HD LED is a lot dimmer than it normally is.
    Specs are below:
    P4 2.0A (currently not overclocked)
    one stick of Geil 512MB PC3200
    Seagate Barracuda ATA IV 80 gig
    Toshiba DVD drive + LiteOn CD burner
    6in1 USB flash memory reader
    ATI Radeon 9600
    SB Audigy
    Hauppage WinTV
    Actiontec V90 modem
    Seasonic 300W PS +3.3v/28A, +5v/30A,+12v/18A,-12v/0.8A,+5vsb/2A
    and other occasionally used stuff that takes up some power:
    USB devices:
    - Canon inkjet printer
    - Canon scanner
    - Wacom tablet

    Hey, I've noticed the same voltage discrepancy in my BIOS, the -5v is off by almost a volt and a half. I'm also using a Seasonic power supply, but mine is a 350W version. This is supposed to be one of the best, most efficient PSUs on the market. What gives?
    I just installed this mobo last night and so far I'm having some serious stability issues (no, I'm not running a Prescott). I've had several abrupt crashes, where I get a blue screen with a some info on it and then reboot, only the screen disappears so quickly I can't even read what it says. The one thing I did read was it said try to uninstall additional components or turn of memory caching or shadowing in the BIOS. I disabled "Internal Cache" in the BIOS, and Windows just lagged while loading and never booted, so I've had to re-enable it. I just pulled out a Firewire PCI card that I had installed (the only additional thing I've added so far), and so far so good. I'll have to do some more testing to see if this thing stabilizes.
    Right now I'm a bit frustrated and cursing VIA. My last system was built around an MSI 845PE, and it worked like a champ. Tried to save the $ this time and am wondering if I'll regret it.
    Anyone else have stability issues with this board? Here are my vitals:
    P4 2.8GHZ/800FSB
    2 x 512MB Crucial PC3200 (installed in DIMMs 1 & 3)
    ATI AIW 9700 Pro
    WD 160GB SATA

  • Voltage of new Mac Mini (2009) Power Adapter

    I want to take my new my new Mac Mini overseas, but when I received it I was surprised to see the power adapter rated at 100v-120v only. The tech specs on Apple's website list the line voltage as 100v-240v and I assumed the power adapter would follow suit. Both my iMac and the power adapter for my macbook are dual voltage.
    Can anyone confirm that the new adapter is rated only up to 120v? Apple Support seemed as miffed by the discrepancy as I was. Additionally, Apple does not seem to have a special dual-voltage power adapter for sale. I would like to be able to plug the mini into a 220v grid, but will not do so unless I can find a definitive answer to the question above.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the information, but I think we are talking about slightly different things. The watts are equal to volts * amps. I believe the power brick ensures that the mini is powered by 110W, but the the brick itself has to be appropriately rated for the local voltage or else it will not function correctly.
    For instance, if my mini power brick is truly rated for 100v-120v and I plug it into a 240v outlet, then I would expect to hear a pop and smell some burnt electronics. It might spare the mini, but the adapter could fry. I speak from experience--I was careless with a treadmill in the past.
    I believe that you mean you use 240v power and your adapter works fine. Could you do me a favor? Could you look at the small print on your mini adapter and see if it says 100v-240v or something else? If it says 100v-120v and it still works in the UK, then mine might be ok for 240v as well.
    Thanks again.

  • Need to a voltage converter to run US-bought 110v HP Printers in 220v Pakistan any recommendations?

    2.
    HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP4025n Printer(CC489A)
    3.
    HP LaserJet P2055d Printer (CE457A) -
     All of them three operates on 110v USA.  but i need them to use in 220V . Can anyone recommend me any good Voltage converter ?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Before go out to buy a converter/transformer  (you need over 2KW for all 3 of them), please check the switches at the back, they may have switches to switch from 110V to 220V. I don't know your market, my suggestion: talk with an electrician who knows the real world much better.

  • Voltage question for Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers

    Hi, I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure if this question has been answered in the past, but...
    I just moved back States-side after living in Pakistan for about 6 months, and I brought my Pakistan-bought Inspire 5200 speakers. I don't know if I should buy a voltage converter or whatever.
    On the AC adaptor, it says "PRL. :230V~50Hz 320 mA... SEC. : 2V ~ 4.2A". I read up a little on this stuff, and, unless I'm mistaken, in Pakistan, the voltage is 220V and 50Hz, while in the US, its 110V and 60Hz.
    Is it safe to use the speakers here WITHOUT a voltage converter or a step-down transformer?
    If it isn't safe, then what specific things do I need to pick up from Radioshack to make sure my speakers work and don't short-circuit or fry?
    Thanks.

    If you use the right step down transformer than it's perfectly safe. The problem is, step down transformer worsen the sound a lot unless you use the very expensi've one. But if you can't hear the different than it's good then, trust your own ear anyway. I think the best way is to change the adaptor.

  • In Brazil. . . Do I need an adapter to plug in my HP Mini 110 into a 220 Voltage plug?

    Hi! I'm living in Brazil for a while and just got here. I have an HP Mini 110 and the plugs here say 220V. Is it safe to plug in my computer or do I need some kind of converter? If so what kind?
    My power is about to run out!!!!!
    Thanks in advance,
    Sasha

    No. The power brick for the iPod senses the voltage and adjusts for the different ones.
    You will need an adapter to switch form flat us pins tot the round pins used on their plugs.

  • Guys, I'll be receiving a MacBook Pro bought in the US as a gift. I'm from UK, will the voltage difference (110v to 220v) and warranty/insurance coverage be an issue? Any other issues to face?

    Thanks guys...

    Normally the voltage difference is not a problem because the charger can handle both.
    I am not sure about the adapter plug: the wall sockets in UK and USA may be different, use a simple (earthed!) adapter for that if necessary.
    The rest should be the same, although two keys on the keyboard might be different (@ is shift-2, try to find the other...).
    gratulations with your gift,
    Lex

  • I have a Macbook Air purchased in 2011 in the US.  I am traveling in South Africa and am unsure if I need a step down voltage converter before I plug my laptop into the wall to charge it (using an outlet adapter).  Am I ok to just plug in?

    So standard electrical output from wall outlets in the US is 110V - 120V, and standard output from wall outlets in South Africa is 220V - 240V.  In SA I know I can plug in an iPhone using the iPhone charging cable and it will automatically step down the voltage, thus preventing my phone from overheating.  I cannot plug in a hairdryer or flat iron without step down voltage converter in SA.  Can I use the charger that came with my US 2011 Macbook Air and plug into a wall outlet in South Africa or do I need to purchase a step down voltage converter in order to charge my laptop while in SA?

    You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR voltage regulators BURNING!!!

    I had to test this motherboard because it was giving boot problems and it never lasted more than 2 minutes.
    I set stock clocks for the CPU and also stock voltages.  I set downgraded clocks and even voltages, stability was improved but no more than 5 minutes.
    After checking the board looking for something abnormal, I found the voltage regulator heatsinks too hot!!!.
    Has someone got a similar problem??? Because I want to know before I try RMA, here in Argentina everyone with this mobo has some sort of problem. I think this mobo s---s but  
    I have to fix the problem in some way.

    The hardware I´m running is the signature´s hardware except, obviously, for the motherboard.
    I tested this mobo with my hardware, beacuse I´m sure it works correctly.
    I don´t have my PSU specs because I changed the cover and it doesn´t have the sticker where it shows the currents.
    It´s a 350 W Sunshine PSU, the one that is listed in my signature.
    But I don´t think it´s a PSU problem, because I´ve already tested it with another PSU, a  
    Thermaltake one, and the problem persists.
    I had the idea to add a fan to the heatsinks, I did this and stability was improved, so I´m almost sure that the problem is on the mobo and I´ll have to send it to RMA, but still any suggestions wil be apreciated  

  • G4Ti4200-VTD64 voltage incompatibility with MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR??

    Hello,
        I have the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 (4X) video card..  I want to upgrade my motherboard to K7N2 Delta-ILSR. Is there any voltage incompatibility?? I heard that new mother boards will support only AGP 1.5V. Is the AGP voltage of K7N2 Delta-ILSR 1.5volts??  Is my video card compatible with this voltage?? I really want to retain my current video card as I am quite satisfied with it and I'm not willing to invest on a new one at the moment. If there is an incompatibility could you suggest another Socket A MB with good performance and SATA RAID support.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Joseph

    Joseph,
    All 4X Vid Cards work on all 4X and 8X mobos. All 4X mobos work with all 4X and 8X Vid Cards.
    Take Care,

  • Memory Voltage X58 Platinum

    Hi,
    I recently bought 2 GTX 460's to SLI with my X58 Platinum. I have been having lock ups while gaming that sometimes include white blocks all over the screen. EVGA tech support has told me to ensure my ram timings and voltages are set correctly for the RAM I use to ensure stability. The memory model I use is OCZ3G1333LV6GK. I changed the timings to 9-9-9-20, but I was unable to change the voltage from 1.5 to the recommended 1.65. The option was greyed out and the BIOS stated that changing the voltage to 1.65 could potentially damage the cpu.
    Can I/Should I find a way to force the voltage up? Is this the incorrect RAM/Mobo Combination? What do you all think?

    Use the +/- keys of your keyboard's numpad.

    1.65V is the absolute maximum Intel has defined for DRAM voltage.  Ignore the warning. 

  • KT3 Ultra ARU - Restricted Voltages?

    I'm running a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU with an Athlon 1700+ tbred. I was trying to adjust the voltage, but the max I can put it at is 1.6V (the default voltage for my chip is 1.5V). Now, I know the board can go higher for sure, because prior to this tbred, I was running a Palomino, and I had the voltage at 1.85V. But now, the max it allows me to select is 1.6V. Is there a way to "unlock" the voltage so I can bump it up past 1.6V?

    This seems to be the #1 complaint for the kt3-ultra series. I'd too like to find a way(without mods) to get the voltage past 1.6 on my tbredA. I heard they may be releasing a new bios(at least for my ultra2) but I doubt it'll affect the voltage adjustments. It'll Probably just have a few bug fixes and barton support.

  • K9N Platinum Ram Voltage??!

    Hello dudes!
    Can someone tell me what ram voltage K9N Platinum is?!
    O ill buy some memories, with 1.9 or 2.0v... and just wanna know what is ram voltage of this mobo...
    i know asus m2n-e max is set to 1.95v... but dont know about K9N platinum...
    So... if anyone can help me, i ll aprecciate..
    tnkz a lot!
    Ahhh... almost forget... is OCZ compatible with this mobo??!
    Tnkz a lot!

    I have the K9N Platinum motherboard aswell, and the standard DDR voltage is 1.80
    OK, let me make it clear. there is no standard voltage on the mobos. the default voltage depends on the memory you are using. different memory modules will default at different voltages, as per the data that the manufacturer placed in their SPDs.
    if you are talking about JEDEC default voltage for DDR2, then yes, it is 1.8V, with a maximum of 2.3V. you can read about timings and voltages for the JEDEC standard here:
