Afterburner, no set core voltage second card on crossfire.

Hello,
I do not have a setting available on the " core voltage " on my second graphics card in afterburner .
I just added a 280X R9 besides my HD7970 .
ON the first card everything is available but not on the second .
Do you have an idea of ​​setting ?
Sorry i have a print screen but i can't post external link.....
AB 4.1.0
Sorry for my English I use google translator from France ^^

  • MSI Afterburner - 2.2.0 Beta 3 Core Voltage 0+ (Question)

    Sup guys,
    I installed the MSI Afterburner - 2.2.0 Beta 3, i read the manual and some sites etc. one thing i do not understand and that is how this version's Core Voltage works. As i've seen on youtube and various forums that the Core Voltage is displayed as the volts are set to exp: 0.0950V, but mine is displayed as a "+0". It never displays the Volts at which you are currently at, like the Core Clock or Memory clock etc. Any ideas?

    I was wondering what that switch was for
    So i switched to "Performance Mode" and kind of almost freaked out when i booted back up, because my pc took a while to start up "longer than normal", when it entered Windows it changed to 800x600 Res and said my Hardware was not supported, but a min or 2 after that it said "New Device Installed and ready for use" and asked to restart, so i restarted and....... kapish
    Seems we have a winner:
    It does run a bit hotter than when on silent mode, but will sort that out.
    Thanks for the effort.  
    Ps. I Assume that is my actual "Volt" measurement

  • MSI Afterburner Core Voltage = huh?

    So I just installed my GTX 580 Lightning and LOVE IT.  Afterburner is also very nice.
    What I can't figure out is the core voltage is measured like +1, +10, +100 etc but that really doesn't help me seeing what is safe for my card and where I should even start increasing it.  I am used to  0.9 or 1.2v measurements.
    Help! 

    Quote from: Henry on 27-September-11, 06:34:22
    The only reasons you would need to increase the voltage would be: 1 - if you are going to OC more than what it came with and it would need higher voltage for it to run stable. 2 - if you are experiencing problems that would require a higher voltage for it to run stable. If all is OK as is then leave it alone.
    Hey Henry,
    Sorry I didn't specify.  I came from overclocking ASUS GTX 570 and increasing the voltage quite a bit.  But I was using ASUS SmartDoctor that showed the actual voltage.
    Since MSI Afterburner only has a +1 through plus +200 on the core voltage modifier, I didn't quite understand what that was.
    I was just wondering what the average GTX 580 Lightning overclocker was using for their voltage settings on a high OC.  I wanted to see how far I could push mine
    I got my GTX 570 to 930 core and 4500 memory which was insane....

  • Msi 670 pe/oc and afterburner core voltage questions..

    So recently I've been attempting to push my card further. From what I'm hearing these cards are locked with voltage. Max are anywhere from 1.175 - 1.215. I don't remember flashing my bios. So I tried pushing my card to 1202 which is the max I can get without adjusting msi voltage. Also I use heaven to test stability. I limit my frames to 63 since that is what I play bf3 at and it's my most demanding game. With 1202 clock even up to 1228 I can complete one run without crashing and stock voltage.
    So I said what the hell I'll increase powerlimit to 114% and increase core voltage to +30( I don't even know how much this adds because there isn't a way to monitor... If anyone has an idea I'm all ears). What do you know to my surprise I was able to complete one benchmark run in heaven at 1254 without crashing. I tried 1254 without adjusting voltage and it crashed and I had to restart. Added +30 and it didn't crash. Also aux voltage was +30 maxed and still crashed without adding core voltage. So are these voltages really locked like Nvidia wanted? Or is there a problem with heaven benchmark.
    Also my setting are 4xaa( I use 2x in bf3 with low post processing) !680x1050( native) resolution, tessellation is normal, af x 16. I've also heard about flashing with unlocked bios but as of now I don't want to try that.
    My current gpu bios is 80.04.31.00.46(P2004-0005). Anyone know the values for this bios or where I can look it up? I'm also on the beta 310.71 drivers since the whql 310.71 drivers for some reason limited my oc.
    Thanks for anyone who can help answer these questions.

    A locked card will always max out at 1.175v no matter what is set. Using Afterbuner 2.2.4 possibly also later (2.2.5 and 2.3.0 are said to be not locked but I doubt that) will also max out at 1.175v no matter the vbios. Since the 670PE does not allow to monitor voltage with software it is hard to tell if overvoltage past 1.175v works or not. Could be progress is caused due to increasing aux voltage while gpu stays at 1.175v max. An unlocked card would do 1.2125v max.
    It would require an unlocked mod bios for the unlocked overvoltage. There is a thread on overclock.net about unlocked GTX6xx vbios versions. There you could get an unlocked bios for GTX670 PE: http://www.overclock.net/t/1289489/gtx-680-670-unlocked-voltage-bios/510#post_17888629
    So far nobody in the forum has tested that and using would be at your very own risk (as always when using mod bios).

    hi,
    AMD has the datasheets for Athlon Model 6, 8, 10 available publicly from amd.com. You can download and inside should have the maximum voltage stated.

  • Z68A-G43 core voltage setting?

    Hey everyone, I'm new to the boards and have just one question: Where is the optional to manually set the core voltage on this motherboard?  I submitted a ticket asking the same, and support said I'd find it in the OC tab of the newest BIOS (4.1), but I'm still unable to locate it after updating it.  Either it's not there, or I'm somehow missing it. 
    Any help would be much appreciated, and feel free to chastise me if the option is right in front of my face
    As it stands my 2500k is at 4.0ghz but cpuz shows the volts at 1.336

    After looking in the downloadable pdf manual, there is no adjustment available for the CPU voltage. It is not an available feature on your series of mainboard that I can see. To confirm this, you might contact MSI Tech Support here; http://support.msi.com

  • Z68A-G43 No Core Voltage setting?

    Hi all
    Well my mobo was crashing all the time with my Q6600 @ 3.4ghz so I went ahead and got a Z68A-G43, i5 2500k and 8gb of 1600mhz G-Skill Ripjawx ram.
    I've noticed though....the BIOS has no setting to change core voltage, neither does MSI Control Centre or Click Bios in Windows. So...does this board have no setting for to change it I ask? I mean it may be low down in the range but £75 is a bit tall for budget board is it not? I've got a rock solid 4.5ghz overclock..I can't boot into Windows with 4.6ghz but if I use control centre I can get it solid in Windows at 4.6ghz @ an auto voltage of 1.386v (I mean I've literally thrown everything at it and its not choked).
    It would be nice to try and push for 4.7ghz if I could just give it a bit of Vcore myself! Cheers

    A solid OC of 4,5GHz on the budget Z68 offering ? Mere mortals would be over the moon to boast with such an OC, what is it, 30% ?  It's always that tiny bit extra we all want, and when we have it, sometimes we don't know what to do with it. 
    Most of us run our boards around that OC to maintain the full power saving feature. Sandy Bridge has this unwanted side effect, whenever you manually set the VCore, it will remain there, no matter what, even in idle.
    But you are welcome to check with MSI technical if it's even possible to introduce this via a BIOS change in the future. I doubt it. >>How to contact MSI.<<
    Believe me, the 2500K above 4,6GHz generates mostly heat and the gain in performance becomes insignificant.

  • Core Voltage wont OC on N680GTX Lightning!

    Hi everybody! 
    I recently bought a brand new gaming PC, after years and years of being a notebook gamer.. So, i finally decided to play around with the overclock settings for my GPU
    I have the Z77 MPOWER Motherboard, and as for my GPU, I have the N680GTX Lightning. My system is running windows 7 x64. I use MSI Afterburner 2.3.1 for applying the overclocking, and Furmark for testing (instead of Kombuster)
    I'm all new to overclocking, so i started reading about it, and came across this review of the GPU:
    -Link here, but this damn forum says: "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links." darn..
    And they clearly figured out some nice overclocking settings for the GPU. Allthough, I didn't know if I should just change the settings to those levels right away, so i kept looking and found another post:
    -Link here, but this damn forum says: "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links." darn..
    So i started to slowly apply the overclocking to my Core Clock, and everything was well. I was able to get it to +70/80 before the drivers started to crash. Then i went ahead to start applying the Core Voltage overclocking (slowly increasing the Voltage a little bit at a time), i realized, that when i increase the Core Voltage (to ex. +12 or +25), nothing happens to "GPU voltage, V" in the monitor screen in Afterburner. It just stays at 1175'ish. When i increase the value and press "Apply", it drops to 1100 for like 1/4 of a second, and then goes up to 1175 again. And no matter how much i increase the Core Voltage, it just wont go higher than 1175. When i apply the overclock, GPU-Z also says that the "GPU Clock boost" still is at 1176 (Just like the Default Clock, so nothing has changed). Now, I did increase the Power Limit from 100 to 133%, and i checked "Unlock voltage control", "Unlock voltage monitoring" and "Force constant voltage"(allthough i don't really know what "Force constant voltage" does, but i have the same problem with applying the voltage overclock whether i have it checked or not). I also set the UAC settings to "disabled"(Never notify), as i did read somewhere that that could be the problem. Didn't help me though..
    Is anybody else experiencing the same problem? Or does anyone have any idea of what i do wrong? Hope somebody can help me!

    Hi, the easy answer is you need to use older 2.2.3 AB version as Nvidia forced MSI AB to lock out voltage tweaks .
    Now onto voltage monitoring, even if you use older AB the voltage will not show correctly in GPU-Z or AB, it will show 1.175 approx , but that is not including the offset added voltage because the PE/lightening models add voltage on top of reference regulator .
    SO just add offset to GPU-Z and should be close to right voltage .

  • K8NGM2-FID CPU core voltage Fluctuations and instabilities-- Bad caps!!?

    I Have K8NGM2-FID bought 6 months ago and started having stability issues since last month.
    Here is my configuration
    K8NGM2-FID ver 2.0 Bios 3.73 now, used to be 3.5, experimented both, but did not help
    Onboard video, Onboard Lan, firewire
    Memory : 512 x 2 Corsair DDR400 in dual channel mode at 2.65v 64MB to Video
    CPU: AMD64 X2 3800+
    HDD WD 160GB SATA150
    Winfast TV2000 Expert Tv Tuner
    Drivers, tried many version ( currently using latest Nvidia Video, MB drivers)
    Now, the description of the problem.
    System suddenly hangs with or without load, intermittenly. Nothing to do what we are working on. Even when System is idle.
    Hangs means, it could happend two ways,
    1. simply it would not respond, screen simply freezes,
    2. sometimes, you simply see horizantal lines on monitor( Typically happens when cpu core voltage drops below it can handle). I know this because
    I am using RMClock on my Turion laptop, and when we try to find lowest stable voltage we see this behaviour.
    Now, some other observation,  from the day one CPU core voltage has been fluctuating a lot. Used to fluctuate anywhere between 1.37v to 1.304v( at default 1.35v).  But still has been stable. Ran 24hour prime95, so no problems.
    Recently I am seeing voltage fluctuations is more, as low as 1.28v to 1.39v at default 1.35v, so I tried RMCLock and raised the voltage to 1.4v, but it seems that did not help much.
    Now, As per the MSI PCALert4  voltage is changing anywhere from 1.28v to 1.38v, but also I get core voltage field empty( that is right no CPU core voltage shown) and alarm sounds. It seems, CPU does not get voltage at all and gets very low voltage for a second or so.
    Things I tried,  Changed the powersupply, changed the Memory, but no use. I am lucky enough to have exact same configuration I built for a friend. So, I checked voltages on his PC and I do not see this behaviour.
    Now, I ran out of options.... any idea anyone had similar problem, and if they solved?
    Now, here are PCAlert 4 images
    http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=128vatdef135sp5.jpg
    http://img256.imageshack.us/my.php?image=novoltageif5.jpg
    http://img406.imageshack.us/my.php?image=132vredbi3.jpg
    Also, another weird behaviour with Bios, even when I change setting in bios, they did not take effect, even loading default does not help, so I have to press CMOS reset button.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    First to clarify, these things has been developed a monrh ago only. It has been fine for more than 5 months.
    1). Yes Memory is insalled in closest DIMM sockets to CPU,
     2). I think you mean mem voltage. The memory I have is Corsair Value series and it even runs fine DDR400 at 2.55v, but I bumped it to 2.65v and also tried 2.75v ( 2.65v is typical I have been using with this MB).
    3). Memory has been tested with Memtest for 24 hours and ran Dual Prime95 for 24 hours when system is assembled.
    Also swapped from another PC I built for my friend with same components( same corsair value series memory) Also tested my memory on his PC, no probs. BTW I also tested my memory at 333, freezing even happens even at that speed.
    4). PSU has nothing to do, because I have been monitoring all PSU rails with SPeedFan none of of the rail voltages moved at all. I even monitored with Digital Multimeter to ensure. Anyways I even tried 3 psus, one ANtec 350W smart power supply, ThemalTake 420W, Ultra 400 Watts. All have more than enough juice to power this setup. (onboard Graphics card).
    5). Yes, freezing happens in simply desktop too. Nothing to do with CPU load or graphics load. It could happen even when just idling.
    6). I use stock CPU cooler in Antec 1650B case with 120MM Fan running in the back( approx 50cfm) and CPU temp never exceeded 47c and MB temp typically around 28c and NB temp around 50-60c using a digital probe and 55-70c using Nvidia Monitor based on load vs no load.
    7). As per Dual core patches, I applied AMD Dual Core  optimizer quite a while ago. As per the MS Patch, No I have not applied( But I doubt it helps because it has been stable without that for all these months). I may try that.
     Now, what I am trying, I  disabled CNQ, and logging Core voltage fluctuation with speedfan( no monitoring).
    as of yesterday night the core voltage was varying from 1.28v to 1.39v( I think that is insane 110mv fluctuation in CPU core voltage!!?) at default CPU voltage of 1.35v. BTW it has nothing to with CPU load, all these logs generated when it was idle. I remember fluctuation even when MB was new, but lowest I observed was 1.304v.
    SOmehow, I suspect VRM is pretty bad on this MB. 
    Anyways, see the response and let me know if you think I am missing somethings. Appreciate your help.
     

  • Afterburner fails to load voltage settings after wake (from sleep)

    Hello,
    I've been using MSI Afterburner since it was created (as an evolution of Rivatuner) and recently have been annoyed by the fact that since 4.0.0 update (including 4.1.0), when the computer comes back from a sleep state (either a monitor sleep or full C1/3/6/7 sleep state), the voltages go back to default. This disables me from using the full 24/7 OC potential of my R9 290X Lightning and my other non MSI R9 280X card. I can either use sleep with very minor OC (pretty much default voltages on everything) or decent OC and no sleep.  Funny enough, I was a lot happier from stability point of view with the 3.0.0 Betas from 11 onwards... Please do something about this as the AUX for example is highly important for R9 290/X overclock and when your computer falls asleep you never know exactly what are the current settings until you open Afterburner. I do not want to have to do it every time before I play a game as if I forget, the computer usually hangs/crashes due to instability.
    In addition, after a certain point of memory/core OC, the computer does not boot without the necessary AUX/core voltage so if it falls asleep with those settings, you lose your work and have to restart as the screen remains black due to the memory crashing. It is sad that I had to buy a high(est) end MSI graphics card to experience the full wrath of bad software support. I've never had issues with AB before and considered MSI as one of the most reliable manufacturers in terms of software support.
    Please make me happy about this again...
    Regards,
    Stoyan Ivanov

    I have two very different computers, one with Windows 7, one with 8.1 One with AMD, one with Intel. One with Asus motherboard, one with MSi... I doubt it it is system dependant it may be AMD GPU + catalyst drivers dependent. Anyway I'll list the two machines:
    VTX3D R9 280X
    Asus F1A75-V EVO
    AMD A8-3870K
    8GB Geil Evo corsa 2133MHz
    OCZ Solid 3 120gb
    PC P&C Silencer MKIII 500W
    MSi R9 290X Lightning
    MSi Z77 MPower
    i5 3570K
    12GB DDR3 1600MHz
    Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
    Fractal Design Epsilon M 750W
    The Machine with the R9 290X is using the latest 15.4 Beta, the other one is using the latest stable driver - 14.12 and I've tried 15.3 without success and have reversed back to 14.12 for stability. It happens 100% confirmed on the R9 290X machine, while the other one I usually don't use. However, I had issues with instability (on settings that were 100% stable before) and when I tuned down the voltages on the GPU, everything was fine so I presume it was happening there too.

  • MSI Afterburner 2.2.4 - Voltage oc nerf for GTX 670 PE / GTX 680 Lightning

    Looks like Nvidia has given MSI a bashing for allowing voltage adjustments with these cards.
    Disappointing as the actual box states:
    Quote from: mikeo, OcUK Forums
    Yet another new version just released:
    http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm#
    MSI Afterburner Version 2.2.4 (2012/9/18)
    -    Added new graphics cards support
    -    Change the NVIDIA Kepler series voltage control mode
    And it's the 2nd item that is maybe of interest to those of us with Kepler based GPU's! Basically the GPU core voltage has been now locked for all cards (including the 680 Lightening and the 670 PE) to 1.175v. This by all accounts was by the direction of Nvidia/MSI themselves.
    Suggested reading is the last few posts on this thread at Guru3D (post #67 onwards):
    http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=364858
    One quote from Unwinder:
    it will be standard 1175mV, similar to all other 680 on the market. Advanced core voltage control of Lightning will be totally disabled, so it won't be different comparing to any other 680.
    Though there are still two ways round this.
    1) Continue to use version 2.2.3
    2) Use 2.2.4 (or later when it becomes available) but use the work around that Unwinder gives in a later post.
    Looks like Nvidia is continuing to put the pressure on to prevent any sort of meaningful voltage adjustment.

    Quote from: flobelix on 22-September-12, 02:52:20
    Sadly Nvidia really dictated this cut down. MSI had to follow. I keep on using 2.2.3 which keeps everything as it should. Poor 660ti users have no choice as only 2.2.4 supports this model. Right now there is no workaround for that gpu.
    It's a shame really, I already have a GTX 670 that does 1340/7406, but on Thursday I decided to buy the MSI GTX 670 OC PE, having read this:
    Quote from: HardwareCanucks - MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC Review
    MSI’s cards have continually impressed us with their willingness to overclock to impressive levels. With a bit of coaxing via MSI’s AfterBurner software to maximize the Power Limit and add 100mV to the core and memory voltage (PLL was also increased by 50mV) the GPU hit an impressive 1388MHz while the memory petered out at 6524MHz. Both of those clock speeds are personal bests but we have a feeling like there’s more in the tank should MSI decide to release a GTX 670 Lightning.
    For those of you wondering, at these speeds, the actual Boost clock we typically observed in games was between 1450MHz and 1465MHz.
    Source
    I got my MSI GTX 670 OC PE on Friday, will see what it can do tomorrow, even at factory clocks it should be on par with a reference GTX 680, I only game at 1920x1200 anyway, so it will be great. 

  • MSI GTX 760 HAWK low overclocking/core voltage lock

    Hello, I bought the gtx 760 hawk and i tried to overclock it, but it's overclocking potential is very low. Furthermore if I change core voltage +12mV in afterburner nothing changes. Voltage is still stuck at 1.200. There's absolutely no difference. I use ver. 3.0.0 beta 14 of afterburner. Please help.

    GTX 760 NVidia specs
    Base Clock 980
    Boost Clock 1033
    MSI N760 Hawk
    Base Clock 1111
    Boost Clock 1176
    That is what the card is guaranteed to prvide you with.
    Additionally, MSI provides voltage and clock adjustments to allow users to potentially OC it even more (no guarantee). Each individual sample will yield different results. We have users that had to RMA cards because they were unstable even at the guaranteed OC'ed speeds.
    Quote
    I see in some reviews that they reach the power limit at the level of 185%
    Review sites receive cherry picked samples that have been pre-tested and the results are indicative of what the best of the range may do. All the manufacturers try and have their best samples reviewed for obvious reasons.
    The MSI Afterburner releases will be updated when Unwinder and the rest of the development team get around to it. Read the dedicated threads in guru3d

  • Core Voltage for 5820k on X99s Gaming 7

    Hi there, I am new to the forums and MSI..
    This is my first msi board, so far so good, I have the x99s Gaming 7 with i7-5820k, 16 GB 4x4 of Corsair Vengeance 2800 with 1000w EVGA P2 and NH-D15 cooler, 250GB Samsung 840 SSD and my video card is crap but I plan on getting gtx 970/980...
    I was able to get 4.5 GHZ all I had to do was increase multiplier to 45 and core voltage to 1.35v
    Here is my question...
    I plan to run 24/7 and happy with 4.0 GHZ OC..
    I left everything on auto and change my cpu vcore voltage to 1.14v..
    I have my ram at 2666Mhz..
    My idle temps are 38C-41c..with load at max of 63C after running for a few hours with aida64
    I am curious to see what others have used for there vcore voltage for 4.0 Ghz OC
    Any way to use my ram at 2800MHZ without using XMP?
    Is there a way to have a variable vcore voltage, so that will use little power but ramp up when under load?
    This is my first attempt at overclocking
    PS what do you guys have your CPU fans set to I am using variable speeds starting with 50%@ 40C, can you give some recommendations?
    Thanks

    First, Welcome to overclocking.

    What is the room/ambiant temperature
    This CPU max Tcase is 66.8c, you may want to keep it below this except maybe for short time stress tests.

    For my CPU(different than yours) I have increased vcore 0.01v above stock.
    I suggest you first see what cores VID is at default, set BIOS vcore until you get the same VID and take it from there. It may be stable with less or require a little more, every CPU is different.
    Besode voltages CPU frequency ay be throttled if CPU power consumption reached it's limit. There are options in CPU Features to change power/current limits.
    Everyone make their own definition of stable, so it's up to you what tests you want it to pass, I don't know AIDA's stress, but I believe Prime95 (v28.5 or above) would be much more stressful, and should not be a problem with your cooler/voltage.

    Sure, set DDR at the level you wish, and set timings  and voltage manually according to specs.
    The question is why not use XMP, uless you want it over 2800, and even then BIOS will scale some settings you wouldn't know to change manually according to its logic.

    By default, that's how it works, vcore increases according to load, if not there are options in BIOS to change it. Set CPU Core Voltage Mode to adaptive if it is set to override by default.
    I like HWiNFO for monitoring, it's free.
