A Few Questions About The GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC in SLI

Hi everyone!
I have a few questions if you guys don't mind answering them, first thing though to make it clear this system is not built yet but the build will start soon.
My first question is whether or not this PSU is capable of running two GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC in SLI:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139015&Tpk=AX850
+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@70A, [email protected], +5VSB@3A
My second question is whether or not the GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC will come with a SLI bridge connector long enough to accomplish a connection over this distance:
If not where can I buy a bridge capable of accomplishing this?, the reason for this distance is to keep the bottom card from pushing air onto the top one.
The above is a normal ATX form factor motherboard or to be more specific a ASRock P67 EXTREME6.

EDIT-
I'm looking at the picture right now and it looks like the bridge that comes with the motherboard is not long enough, any suggestions on where to buy one?
nope no idea, ask your reseller

I didn't mean the Watts I mean the Amps, from other threads in this board it seems that some PSU's aren't up to the task of supplying the card with enough Amps, I was wondering if that PSU could supply enough for both.
Well you can figure from the graph
With one VGA it drains total 447W, where single 580GTX need 40A-42A,
adding second the same VGA to the system drains total 719W
So 719-447=272W, 272W/12=23A, 42A+23A=65A
or simple 719/12=60A

BTW, I would also like to say I'm currently using a MSI board in my current build and I love it!

GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2 tri sli heat problem

Hi all,
I ordered 3 GTx 580 Twin frozr 2 OC from amazon and while i was checking on the card i found servral people saying these cards can run pretty hot in SLI or Tri SLI and the top card temp reach 100c!!! is it true should i be worried i already bought them im waiting for them to arrive with reset of my build. my PC case is Lian Li P80B.

Of course they are hot.
Each of them has 244 tdp. It's 750 wt from graphic cards alone.
Even some electric heaters consume less.
If you are planning to have this kind of setup (with no space left for the upper card to "breathe"):

No doubt you will get 90+ C in heavy loads.
PS: What is your motherboard? You should also know that p67/z68 chipsets offer maximum 8/8/4 PCI-E lines for 3 sli. 8 is ok, but 4 is

A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section. There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
"""Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
It's better than nothing, but only just."""

MSI Geforce GTX 580 Twin Frozr II Reference?

Hey I gotta few quick questions. Thanks
Is the MSI Geforce GTX 580 Twin Frozr II a reference design PCB underneath the cooler?
And do the military class components get in the way of other custom cooler E.g. A waterblock?

Gtx 580 twin frozr OC SLI Temps query

Hi all,
I have 2 x gtx 580 twin frozr OC 800/1600 version cards running in SLI with 270.51 drivers, idle for GPU1 37-43, idle for GPU2 is 34-40, i have an Antec 1200 case which provides good cooling and also using a side door fan to blow cool air in too, i have raised my voltage in afterburner to 1050 and everthing seems stable
my question is that with vsynch on i get GPU1 max about 75-78 degrees which seems fine as i know and accept that GPU1 in SLI will run hotter (my cards are close togeather on x58 sabertooth) and GPU2 is in the 60`s
but when i switch vsynch off my GPU1 hits high 80`s and up to 93, i have noticed in BFBC2, why is vsynch having such an effect on GPU1? temps, just seems strange that vsynch has such an effect on GPU1 considering i have very average idle temps etc
if my cards are stable is it worth updating the bios? will this help the temps
cheers
gamon

No, it should blow fresh air for the graphics' and processor fans to consume and then pass on to a very good exhaust fan, that removes it. - Somewhat like a car engine works. With a side-door fan you normally don't need intake fans, but start by reducing their speed, before removing them.
Plenty of space, 50 - 100 cm, around the case?

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC - got a bad copy

My Computer specs:
CPU: i7-2600K 4.2Ghz
MB: Asus P8Z68 Deluxe/GEN3
VGA: GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC.
1st: I get around P5400 points on 3dmark 11 with stock clocks.
2nd: My card really bad oveclocks. I have ASIC quality 56.3% in the latest GPU-Z. I reach 900/1800/2100 only with 1.150V - Others people reach it with 1.088v. And i get P6000 point in 3dmark11 on 900Mhz. Thats low, because people on gtx570 reach that score.
What`s wrong with card? I`ve got a bad copy of card?
My stock clocks are: 800/1600/2048 1.038V, BIOS: 70.10.20.00.01

send serial # to who? to msi or u? i thought u are not from msi though(u said u aren't msi). i appreciate ur help either way though.
i did OCCT test too and it passed without error. i sent email to u about serial #. also what's max voltage i can use in overclocking this
gpu without frying? will i still covered in warranty if my gpu gets fried in long term use of 1.025v bio u are going to send me? thx.

OC is always risky and done at own risk.
Basically the max allowed from AB
We are not going to OC your card further,
but just to make it stable at default HW-OC speed

Gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc problem

I'm having problem with my gtx 580 twin frozr II/OC. everything is running fine but it crushes or video card lose focus when I run 3dmark 11 or try to play crysis. video output works fine, it plays metro 2033, star craft 2, dead space 2 just fine. It passed 1 hour of furmark stability test fine, 1 hour of OCCT test fine, passed OCCT memory test fine too. I didn't overclock it so it's at factory overclocked speed of 823mhz and idle temp is at 35c, gaming max temp during metro 2033 is 77c, OCCT test max temp was 88c. so I know it's not overheating problem. I have used both nvidia driver or 263.09 and 266.58, same result. it crushes during cutscene or after cutscene of crysis(i hear sound but no visual) and lose focus after initial loading on 3dmark11. vga bio is 70.10.17.00.01 and i am running on windows 7 64 bit ultimate edition. yes, i have updated to latest version of crysis and 3dmark11 too. still, the same. Is something wrong with this card during manufacturer place or what? I don't think this is just my problem coz according to newegg review, there were customers complain about this card gets crush during crysis. I also own gtx 570 from other brand and I was using it b4 I've got msi gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc. It didn't have any problem like this. Anyone know what's causing this? any help? I don't think RMA would help this problem at all coz card is not broken and works fine on everything just fine with no error or artifacts besides those two(3dmark11 and crysis).

MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC Problems

Hey guys, I just build my second new(er) computer (specs below, system 2), with this MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC, and I am having several problems. The first problem I noticed was was in Starcraft 2, I was having major texture stretching (looked like units were stretched across the map, exc.), so I tried a new driver to no avail. I delt with that problem and played for several hours to find that the screen turned black, then recovered (happened several times), which I was able to continue playing after. I went ahead and tried Battlefield Bad Company 2, and noticed the same texture stretching, but with big black shapes (almost looked like large artifacts), so I checked the temps, 74c, so that was not the problem. I continued playing for about 5 minutes before the screen went black, turned white, and the game became unresponsive. Thinking it was a possible PSU problem, I moved the card to my first system (specs below, system 1), and produced the same results.
Does anyone have any ideas, or is it time to RMA the card. Sad thing is, I am seeing alot of people having problems with this card, I hope MSI didn't do me wrong here.... :(
P.s. I flashed the newest BIOS for the VGA and the MoBo.

Quote from: doubleohseven on 12-September-11, 06:45:32
Unfortunately it has, and the artifacting only seems to get worse as time goes on (if the card/game doesn't crash right away that is...). I guess RMA'ing is my only option at this point, thanks for your help.
I'll chock it up to a defective card this time, but seeing all the problems with these similar cards from MSI is making me worried... I only hope MSI didn't do me dirty with this product.
No worries, call msi at +1.626.271.1004 within regular business days and they will take care of it

MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC

Hi Svet
is that still the latest bios for a MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC ?
The GF110.rom ?

I asked before in this thread -> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=159374.0
Its the same card im using so i didnt see a reason to open a new thread and i didnt want to create more clutter for a small question.

2 GTX 580 TWIN F 2 OC SLI too hot?

Hello..after 3 months I am here again...My 2 gtx 580 twin frozr 2 OC ed runs too hot with crysis 2 or better the first one runs too hot! After 1 hour game the 1st one is above 80° and the 2nd one 70°.. they have both the standard setting 800 MHz Core 4096MHz Memory 1000mv.
I have a 4ghz i7 980x with H70 cooler , latest nvidia drivers 270, and half x case.

Quote
83 is normal for msi twin frozr 2
I think you answered your own question in your first post
Quote
After 1 hour game the 1st one is above 80° and the 2nd one 70°..
Those temps are not excessive !
If you tested your cards individually, only one card in the case, you will find that the temps are lower. In SLI one card is normally hotter than the other for obvious reasons.
Secondly, if your H70 is installed as per Corsair's recommendation, then the hot air accumalated from the radiator is dumped inside your case, adding to the overall temp inside. (The design is not ideal in my opinion) Ideally you have 1 or 2 fans at the top of the case extracting the warm air when using a H50 or H70 in standard installation mode, especially when having 2 GTX580s under full load inside.
Do you have a side panel fan pushing air onto the GPU cards ?

your vga sn is...?
your current default clocks are...?
your target clocks are...?
target new voltage is..?

GTX 580 TWIN FROZR II OC Artifacting and crashing

Hello everyone on the forum I'm currently a new member to this forum.. What i'm going to be explaining to you guys is a serious thing
that happends alot of people.. Anyways my Graphic card have started to artifacting, it have been like so for some months now, i can't understand
what the problem is.. I don't want to RMA the videocard, well of course i do but i don't want to tell my dad cause he will like freak out a little bit i think
cause my computer cost alot of money, anyways there must be some solution to the problem..? Everyone is saying MSI Afterburner will fix the problem
for you i've tried that ALOT, i'm even running it right now, i've increased the volt, decreased clocks, i mean.. can someone tell me a good setting for the
video card? Like seriously it's not stable..
I've tried this....
1. Use Afterburner [Just need a good stable setting maybe?]
2.Reinstalled my computer.
3.Updated drivers also i've tried to change to beta drivers.
4.Picked older versions of nvidia drivers..
Please help me? :(
Some quick specs...
CPU: i7 2600K Intel.
GPU: GTX 580 TWIN FROZR II OC
RAM: 8GB RAM DD3
PSU: Antec 650W
Harddrives: SSD 120 GB / 1 TB regular drive.
-----------------------------------------------------------> If you got something that would might work for my problem please write it! I really need some help :(
Btw: I'm thinking of updating Vbios, but will that help? I'm not so good in overclocking, so help would be needed..
Also maybe change PCI-E cabel? that's connected to the graphic card?..
I think the warrenty is off, i contacted MSI for a while ago they said i had it left and they were able to change it to a new one that's working but
.. yeah, don't know what i should do! Some people that got their card replaced didn't help, they still have the problem..
Thanks for taking your time and reading my newbie post.. if you want pictures, i'll send them below..

Well MS-7673 can be a couple of boards: http://www.msi.com/service/search/?kw=MS-7673&type=product
None the less let's concentrate on the vga. When does it show artifacts. Right when starting 3D, after some time or randomly? If possible add screenshots.
It's very random when It's going to crash, i have 2 pictures showing how it could look, also just want to say that sometimes when My computer tries to reset The card, i can get a bluescreen.

GTX 580 twin frozr ii /oc

Just got an offer of "GTX 580 Twin Frozr II /OC", but can't find any info whatsoever in any website. i see that it has been launched but can't find the OC version....not even in the MSI website!!! any idea as to existence of this gpu, if yes, any links or data??

Probably like the AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr II not listed on MSI site but is available here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-113-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752.
Not all products are released World Wide or at same time, just like Theatrical Movies.
Most likely it maybe under Review/Tested at some Overclocker/ Technical magazine place. More info later as they release-publish it.
