990fxa-gd80v2 over heat issue.

Had this board for about one year, never over-clocked. Recently it started acting up (mouse/keyboard quit working etc) and has
now gotten to where the system just shuts down...usually while gaming for about 45 minutes (BF4MP). I used speccy while running P95 and noted the system shuts down when the mother board temp hits 90c, also noted the mobo runs at over 80c while gaming.
Is there any known issues with this board? Appreciate any help.

First issue noted was the mouse cursor began to "skip" across the screen and cursor graphics (icon) began to deteriorate (fuzzy). About the same time, the keyboard stopped working intermittently, I changed usb ports for both the kb/mouse and it cleared up the issue for a short time. The system began to "hang" if the mouse was moved quickly (screen freeze), sometimes it recovers other times a full restart is needed. Of late (3 days), the system just shuts down...usually after 45 minutes of BF4 multi-player. I set vcore voltage to 1.4 but other than that, have not done anything.

Ipad over heating issue

I have had a search and replies to this question are about a year old. Has Apple been able to resolve the heating issue with ipad or are they an inside only device?
I would like one for work where I am an ecologist and require something to record data in the field, unfortunately here in Western Australia it gets pretty warm in summer.
Has anyone had issues with recently manufactured ipad1 or ipad2 over heating in the sun?
Has anyone found a way around this, chilled case?..
Thanks
Mark

I just saw this case in the link below today. It's called an icePad. I don't think it will help for a full eight hours of work, but it might help for a few hours at a time maybe. Since the iPads cooling requirements are so much lower than a laptops you might even be pleasantly surprised.

That particular case doesn't have any reviews, but the laptop cooling pad in the link below has some reviews and it is using the same technique.

Battery draining/over heating issues - 925

hi all,
ive had this issue for a while now but havnt moaned about it until now but ive just had enough of this constant issue and want some help
i have the lumia 925 and have the above simptons, i have the lumia amber update and have disabled every setting and background app the only thing i have enabled and running in the backround are -
touch display is turned on (double tap to wake)
on my home screen i have the apps - Photos, Battery, Bing news, The Weather Chanel, set as live tiles
the backround apps i have running are - Battery, Bing News, Facebook and whatsapp
apart from that all other settings are disabled or off
i can disable bing news if have to but i dont think this is the issue here as before i was having the exact problem
one time i noticed a 30% decrease in battery, not to mention the battery got really hot in hand

Hey Robert,
If it's anything like my 920, sometimes it gets caught in a CRAZY battery drain cycle. Sometimes it may get hot, sometimes not, but I always make sure that my GPS is working correctly. A lot of times it's not, and I need to reset the phone by either turning it off or holding down the power and volume down buttons.
Especially check any apps that you may have downloaded that may be using GPS. Also, if you do the power + volume down, always turn your phone off again the normal slide down way afterwards or your live tiles won't update correctly.

Video and Over heating issues

I have 3 issues to ask about.
o Overheating.-----My laptop gets SUPER hot when playing World of Warcraft. Hot enough that I can not touch the first row of keys on my keyboard, or any part near the video screen.
o *Video display corruption.*
-----While playing I get huge amounts of artifacts, and if I don't switch from windowed mode or to it when the artifacts show up, the video seems to degrade until it is un-viewable. (Artifacts to me are random triangles that appear between items in game.)
o *Left and Right fans.*-----I have installed a program to help called smcFanControl, and it help a little but doesn't resolve anything. One weirdness with that too is it monitors the left and right fan speed in RPMs and it only registers a right fan speed. Is there a left fan too?

There are indeed left and right fans. You can download a widget from the apple website called iStat Pro that will let you see left and right fan speeds, among other system status features. And yes, I've noticed I run a lot hotter now, perhaps because of the optimization to dual-core. I have smcfancontrol now, but other than setting a minimum fan speed, it doesn't seem very useful.
What are you at? With it sitting on my desk, no ventilation issues, I have 66°C (28°C ambient) with the fans at 3700 RPM
Edit: If you put the menu bar option on, it will show you left and right fan speeds when you click on the menu

Component over Heating issue

i have recently upgraded my HP laptop to Windows 10 since then, one part of my laptop has been getting VERY hot. it is located on the right hand side of the underside of the laptop (next to the CMOS battery). it also has a ventilation grill over it (see image. the red arrow is pointing to the CMOS battery. then next to it there is a small ventilation grill. I want to know what component lays underneath this grill as this is what is overheating thanks

Its been a day since I posted this, can any expert please share their view on this? Its urgent pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssseeee

990fxa-gd80v2 having usb 2.0 issue

The problem is only with the 4 USB 2.0 slots that are on the I/O of the board. The USB 2.0 slots on my case (that I hooked up when installed) work fine and the USB 3.0 ports and the esata/USB 2.0 combo ports work fine. Windows will "unrecognize" and the quickly "recognize" these USB ports. It makes that 'sound' like you are unplugging something from the USB port and then plugging it back in again quickly. This will happen one time or several times untill the ports finally "die" completely and then later they become recognized again (maybe once, maybe several times)! I have moved all my connections to other slots but the problem still interferes because as the problem is recognized and unrecognized it pauses my mouse and keyboard when in use. Same thing with printer. When the problem happens it will cancel the action mid-print! I've already looked into it being a driver compatibility issue but the problem is restricted to the motherboard's 2.0 ports and nothing else. The board has a "de-bug" code thingy built in and the only code i get from it is 99. Since I have not been able to find any code lists for this MB anywhere, I have no clue what this means. To me (tech-level medium) this is clearly a manufacturer defect.
At this point I'm going to attempt RMA. I don't know what else to do unless someone, anyone can suggest a better solution. Any help is appreciated. This really makes my opinion of MSI become something undesirable. This just might be the last and only MSI product I ever buy!

I remember the part about "bashing" in the rules and I apologize for it. In my opinion it was a "mild expression of my first impression". But it's not my opinion that defines "bashing" in this forum. For that I am truly sorry.
Thank you for the suggestion about the non-conductive surface. It's worth a try anyway.If this could be the problem then what could be the problem causing it or the solution to it? Bad grounding of the I/O plate on my case or bad grounding of the case itself?

Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out? Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device. Then restore it as a new device. If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue. They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19. Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

990fxa-gd80v2 cpu voltage stability issues

I have had this board now for 2 mths and have noticed a problem with the cpu voltage. It fluctuates alot ie: set at a voltage it will fluctuate +/- .03-.06 volts. The most significant and generally highest fluctuation is at load where it will drop down usually .05 volts consistently. This greatly affects any adjustments one would make for OC as the maximum voltage for my AMD FX 8350 is 1.55v.
Point being: Is there anything in the works where MSI is addressing this issue. Is there a solution? or is this just a flaw we are meant to accept.
I just want to know that something is being done. I chose MSI for this motherboard because all my previous MoBo ran flawlessly.

It is not looking good. I hope I am wrong but I get the feeling from email response others have gotten that they may be moving on and these issues are a lost cause. Again I HOPE I AM WRONG.
On the plus side I have managed to get 4.6 easily stable and no real issues with the particular setups I use so Guess I can bide my time.

GTX 660 TI with 990fxa-gd80v2 3 way sli issue

Just added a third video card and 1200w PSU to my rig. The card shows up as "windows generic display adapter" (or some verbage similar to that. I wiped the Nvidia drivers and re-installed the latest release. The card still doesn't work (says it needs driver update, when you try to update - it says it is up to date.) When the PC reboots after the driver update, it shuts off video display after the Windows 8 splash screen. I have to power off and restart. After the third restart, it goes into windows repair mode. It tries to roll back to a previous version and then cannot complete the task. I continue to Windows and it goes all the way through. The card still doesn't show and SLI settings are reverted to defaults and not saved. Are there BIOS settings for 3 way SLI that need to be changed? It worked fine with 2 way. Do I need to update a driver for the PCI controller? Clear CMOS? Any help or ideas appreciated. Hoping to not have to do a re-install of Windows 8.

New build from Win 7 to Win 8. It was fine with 2 way and my old PSU. When I would 3Dmark the rig, it would restart after the combined test - So I figured the PSU was getting sketchy (everything but the PSU and case was new at this point.) So, in other words - Win 8 with 2-way with old PSU was ok. Win 8 with 3-way and new PSU is not working yet.

990FXA-GD80V2 and water cooling

Hi,
Been combing the web trying to find an answer for my question and stumbled upon this forum. I figured you might know. I just purchased a combo pack on Newegg that had a MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 motherboard and AMD FX-8150. Seeing how the stock fan/heatsink barely keeps the heat in check i was looking for alternatives. What i want to know is if the motherboard would work well with the CPU cooled by lets say CORSAIR H80 water cooler. I know from recently help a friend with his rig that without the normal CPU fan some motherboards them selves overheat. Only way we fixed his was to bolt a separate fan on the mobo for that issue.
So a recap on my question. Does the motherboard its self have adequate cooling to allow the CPU to have watercooling?
Thanks

The question of heat is covered in a few areas.. air flow of the case itself.. to include amount of fans, and if you plan to run, in your case the FX-8150 overclocked or not. At stock speeds the CPU cooler that came with the CPU will work fine.. possible with even a small OC. If you are planning to OC and/or play with variable OC's and testing.. a better CPU cooler is the way to go. The new water cooling systems like the H80/100 and other self contained water coolers are good. Better than a self built water cooling system, there is less chance of leakage.
If you take the time to look at CPU cooler reviews... a lot of good air coolers are cooling better than a cooling system like the H80. A real nice thing about the coolers like the H80 is airflow in the case. It also takes a case that can handle the size of some of the air coolers. A lot of them are huge in size. I have a friend who has both the H80 and H100. He tells me that he likes the cooling of the H100 better. He does serious Overclocking. I also own the 990FXA-GD80 and have an FX-8150 on the way. I am using a Zalman 9900. I plan to continue using it.. that said, my friend is trying to talk me into an H100. My case is the Antec 280 and it is possibly the largest case on the markey with 7 120mm fans running, plus the CPU cooler. If you look at the bottom of posts we list our equipment. Being new here, you might not have read the posting guide. If you give us your information, how you plan to use and overclock or not we can give a better answer.
To focus on your question.. like Svet answered... yes, the H80 should do a good job.
Good Luck

Anything I should know about the 990FXA-GD80V2 before purchase?

I'm considering getting a new motherboard in the next few days or so, and currently have my eye on the 990FXA-GD80V2. I plan to pair it with the FX-8350 and a R7850, and likely use Linux.
I was wondering if there was anything in-particular I should know before buying this board. For example, I recall reading somewhere that someone had to do a BIOS update to get their FX-8350 to use the right voltage or something.
I'm doing a good bit of research myself, but I'd like to avoid another experience like the one I had with ASRock.

Quote from: miklkit on 28-August-14, 22:46:41
I read your post about Asrock. Not good, but no 970 board is up for the 8350. Only experts with mega cash to spend on exotic cooling can keep that combination alive.
The MSI GD80 is a solid cool running board that can handle any FX cpu. My 8350 will bench and run at over 5ghz with air cooling but is stable at 4.7 ghz for everyday use. The 9590 is good for 5ghz for every day use. Because the GD80 runs so cool air cooling can be used making this a very cost effective combination. I am currently using an ASUS Sabertooth board and it runs hot. Water cooling is required to overclock it and I will be going back to the GD80 soon.
MSI is very conservative with their bios settings, which means that you can only run stock clocks unless the utilities provided on their cd are used. But last December they castrated those utilities too! I prefer to use ClickBiosII, and here is a link to a working version.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gpalg0tpyyfcivy/AAA_vvHgq7MUkdcXPH3Nh5rWa/CLICKBIOSII.7z?dl=0
Thanks for the feedback. I'm curious though, what exactly about the ASUS Sabertooth board makes it run hotter than the GD80? Would figure the CPU temps to be relatively the same, but maybe you're talking about another component like the VRMs or NB?
Also, what's that ClickBiosII thing? Is it a custom BIOS? From quick-glance at the archive, perhaps it's a BIOS-configuration tool that can be used from Windows to directly-alter the BIOS?
I put in the order for the GD80V2 a little bit ago; seems it'll be a manufacturer-refurbished board. Does anyone happen to have any first-hand experience as to how warranty is handled with such hardware? From my understanding, it seems used hardware carries whatever warranty existed since the hardware's purchase date, but refurbished hardware carriers only a 90-day warranty. Is the 90-day limit true, and if so, is it a "hard" limit (as in, you get absolutely 0 support after 90 days), or perhaps handled on case-by-case (MSI "might" be kind enough to do the RMA after 90 days depending on issue)?

990FXA-GD80V2 Very slow internet.

My symptoms at their best involve small bursts of internet in between total inability to send or receive any data. This has been going on for about a month now, getting progressively worse. Most of the time I get very little bandwidth, barely enough to navigate to this forum. If it tells you anything, I had to wait for the smiley face emotes to load in the start new topic page. This isn't a problem on my ISP's end, every other computer in the house is getting along just fine.
When I first completed this build everything was lightning fast. It appears to be deteriorating over time, and I can't for the life of me pin it down to any particular software issue. I've done thorough sweeps for spyware and viruses (preboot, postboot, with multiple programs) and found nothing that should be clogging up my system.
I had one ray of hope when I tried disabling NetworkGenie. For a few hours I had no noticeable losses in my bandwidth, though still much slower than it should be. I was playing FarCry 3 for a while and tried to normally use the internet when I noticed it was slow/nonexistent once again.
It may also be important to note that I never see my system tray say I am disconnected from the internet. When I seem to be completely disconnected I have watched the send/receive packets to see that very very few will occasionally send, and none receive, until I get a spurt of bandwidth again if I am lucky.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I am betting on software, the virus program itself or just something didn't install properly.
Here are some ideas:
1.) Eliminate software - re-install the os (or refresh it if it is win 8)
2.) Remove the mainboard from the case and place it on wood or plain cardboard (non conductive surface) and re-build it there and test.
This will eliminate any shorts.
3.) While this problem seems limited to Intel NIC's, check the mac address and make sure it matches the sticker on the nic.
4.) Update the mainboard bios: http://us.msi.com/product/mb/990FXA-GD80V2.html#/?div=BIOS

Battery Purging and Over heating Phone!

WHAT?!! I have assumed that my LG Revolution spontaneously purging the entire battery charge at once then over heating and shutting down was a hardware issue! Now I find that it is the result of yet ANOTHER OS SOFTWARE upgrade issue?! OMG are you kidding me?!! I have been PLAGUED with problems since I was forced to upgrade my android OS to 2.3.6 through Verizon! I am ready to make ANY change I have to escape this plague!! I PAY WAY TOO MUCH MONEY for android smart phones and premium service through a so called 'premium' provider to have to put up with economy freakin performance Verizon!!!
I am especially disappointed in Verizon since I took the phone all the way to their coorporate store 5 months ago and all they did was scratch their heads! They tried to sell me a new battery which also immediately commenced to over heat; so of course the next course of action was to try and sell me a NEW PHONE!
I've been sitting here with a DEAD VERIZON phone all day AGAIN trying to rescucitate it!! ****, that **!

Thank you Verizon; you're right. Buying a new phone is the fix! I bought a brand new LG Spectrum at the Verrizon store yesterday and my old LG Revolution immediately began to work perfectly again. That was the fix. Of course....
You think this is messed up? It just gets weirder. Before going to bed last night I took my new LG Spectrum off a 4 hour charge because it was full. It slept all night. When I checked it in the morning it had one missed call and 6 emails; that's it. The battery charge however was completely on EMPTY! OMG!!?? What the....? Yesterday I was rather puzzled by how exceptionally warm/hot it felt while on charge. The charger plug also felt the same. It's on charge right now using the supplied charger but I changed it to a different outlet. It's still very warm/hot. I'm befungled!! I live in a 1/2 million $ condo packed with properly working electronics' so it's certainly not a source problem.
More weirdness: yesterday I was downloading and re-installing programs and updates to reload my new phone. A couple of hours later it went on an all out download splurge all on it's own, one after another it was a stream of unwanted downloads I couldn't stop. I turned off wi-fi, but eventually had to shut down the phone right in the middle of processes..... not a good. (UPDATE: solved this issue. I discovered that all the bloatware pre-installed on the phone further imposes itself by ALSO being set to 'auto update' itself. Oh! cool! and check this out: it won't let you uninstall any of that sh*t! Cool huh? Thanks LG or is it Verizon; I want to be sure to give due credit to whomever is responsible for that *** idea!)
My new not-so smartphone phone, less than 24 hours old, is already fouled.
UPDATE: 5 hours later. No phone call usage today. Emails, texts, a few downloads, and some new phone setup configuring today. Phone is dead after 5 hours of use. Took old phone off 1 hour charge and of course it was as cool as a cucumber, plugged in new phone and it became hot within minutes. I think that the solution is to just go back to using landlines....
Attached below is a photo showing the EKG of the entire life of my NEW phone. 1 day and 7 hours. Hmph? And I am already in the forums. Anyone know what the record is?

HP ENVY 17 - Heating issues

Hello,
Has anybody found a solution for the extreme heat generated by HP ENVY 17.
Thanks,
Sanjay

I own an HP Envy 17, and I am highly dissatisfied with it. This computer was purchased when I made the decision to go back to school. I wanted a computer that would last me for at least four years. I honestly thought that this was the computer. I have always bought HP when it came to computers. Not anymore though. Since I have had this computer I have had to send it back twice for over heating. The first time they replaced the thermal module. I got the computer back and it worked okay for a little while. Then it started to overheat again. So I sent it back again. When I got it back the second time they had to replace a speaker, the optical disc drive. and reseat the thermal module. To me it was more than obvious that the over heating had caused some other issues within the computer. The day that I got it back it over heated again!!!! I called, and was told that it was my wireless mouse that was causing the issue. I tried explaining to the person that my mouse had nothing to do with over heating. This person also told me that when they had it the computer never over heated. I find that kind of hard to believe since they have replaced so many parts, and had to re-seat one of the parts. Through out this whole ordeal every person that I have talked to has told me that I needed to keep the computer on a flat surface. So that is what I have done. Yesterday I called HP yet again because my computer is over heating. They told me that they would send me the package to send it in for repair. I told the person that this was unacceptable, and asked to speak to a supervisor. I wanted one of two things. I either wanted a brand new machine, or I wanted my money back. At this point I was told that he did not have a supervisor, and he would have a case manager call me back within 24-48 hours. I received the phone call today. The case manager said that he had two options for me. One option was to have someone come to my house to look at it (but that would be the long way because it could take a couple of weeks), or I could send it in for repair again. By now I am more than irritated. I explained to him that his options were not acceptable, and told him the two options that I would accept. I also asked to talk to his supervisor. He told me that there was not a supervisor available, and that I would have to call back later. By this point I am so irritated that I see red. Before we hung up the phone he told me that whether or not the computer was replaced was under the discretion of HP. That is all fine, and well. However this computer has been nothing but problems since it was purchased. With that being said it is not my fault that the computer is over heating all the time. The only option for HP is to give me a new machine, or my money back. [Legal Discussion Removed] I should not have to send my computer back every couple of months because they have no idea what they are doing. I will never again buy any HP product.

Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2009. Heat Issues

Hi!
What can i do?
I have a macbook pro 13" from 2009.
The fans are always on 1999 RPM, they never go faster, not even when the computer reaches a temperature of 80° Celcius.
As soon as I go to youtube to watch a video, the temperature goes up alot, but the fans stays at 1999 RPM and they refuse to go up. So the computer just gets warmer and warmer.
So I downloaded a program called smcFanControl, and when i watch usually any video on youtube, the temperature goes up to around 64° Celcius with the fans running at around 3500 RPM.
I can forget about watching ANY HD 720p video on youtube, because then the computers temperature reaches at least 70° Celcius even with the fans running at 4000RPM.
I am SO sick of this heat issue.
What can i do?
The room I am in, isnt even warm. My sisters Sony Vaio is at 40° Celcius when watching the same HD 720p video.
And this problem doesnt only occur when I watch HD videos, i get it no matter what video I watch on youtube. Highly annoying.
Why cant my macbook pro control the fans automaticly? Is there any program that i can use so it controls the fans automaticly? Because I am SO tired of controlling the fans all the time, i need to control them when I go to youtube, when i go to expressen.se (Swedish news online), I need to control them when using videocall via skype, yeah almost all the time!
Does anyone have the same problem? Or any idea what to do? It doesnt even matter if I'm downstairs in the livingroom where its really cold, I cant watch videos on youtube without the temperature reaching sickingly 80°celcius, or 64°Celcius with the fan running faster, which I have to do manually by the way.
I would just love for my macbook to control them automaticly, I hate that i have to do it.
Please help.
I run Mac Os X 10.6.3 (Snow leopard), I have a 2,26 Ghz Macbook Pro 13 inch from mid 2009.
SMC-version 1.47f2
Please help,
Kind regards

Hi again PatrikK,
The temperature that SMCFanControl reports itself is the CPU A temperature diode one from what I can see. As a test I ran SMCFanControl alongside Marcel Bresink's excellent shareware program "Hardware Monitor" , which provides much more detailed information about temperatures , speeds, power demand, etc etc, than SMC is able to do, to test this and the CPU A temp diode was certainly the closest to the Hardware Monitor readings. On the video pages of the Swedish newspaper site it was generally about 10ºC hotter than the CPU core temperatures, which were generally in the 60'sC, while the CPU A diode was in the 70'sC.
So, with your CPU Diode temp at 80ºC the CPU core temps were probably only at about 70C, which, as I said, is about where the fan speeds actually usually start to increase under normal MacOSX control. (The algorithms used to determine fan speed in Macs aren't actually based on CPU temperature alone, but depend on the readings from various temperature sensors, together with measurement of electrical current draw etc, so no single CPU temperature is responsible)
All in all, when I look back at your earlier post as well, I think your MBP is probably simply operating normally in the situations you mention. It certainly won't be doing it any harm (the maximum CPU core temperatures allowable for the 13" model are either 90ºC or 100ºC, depending on the actual procesor fitted, and this equates to a CPU A temperature diode - the one your software is measuring - of over 100ºC.) At 80º CPU A temperature the fans should only just be starting to increase, and you will find that they cut in quite aggressively from then on in, making sure that the core temperatures are not exceeded.
So I don't think you need to worry about this situation in terms of the computer itself, though you should certainly be able to reduce the temperatures somewhat if you follow the approaches I mentioned with respect to Flash etc in my earlier post.
If your concern is mainly comfort when using the computer, all I can suggest is that you follow Apple's own instructions about these computers being "notebooks", not "laptops", and when using it in a comparatively "high demand" situation such as watching flash videos use it on a desk, or do what I do and simply stick it on a thin plastic or wooden board when it is resting on my knees. There are all sorts of fancy "laptop cooler" devices out there that you can spend money on if you wish, with everything from powered fans to chemically based cooling processes, but I've always found that a light weight $2 plastic chopping board from Ikea does the job perfectly well in such situations!
