Bios for KM2M, no voltage control

While there is a frequency and voltage control section in the bios, all you can change is the FSB ;( The title of the section indicates there could be that control. Is it there but disabled so we can't mess with it ? No, No, I don't want to Overclock!! :D Any hacks for this ? I also tried fuzzy logic but it just sat on the screen doing nothing no matter what i did. So all I can do is bump the FSB. I hit a wall at 2133 or so (Proc is a XP2400+)

[Request] Unlocked voltage control BIOS for MSI R9 280X

Hi,
I want change voltage on my MSI R9 280X GAMING 3G BF4 as its running very hot.
I have two more and same issue, VRM gets very hot (hwinfo read).
My S/N #: 602-V277-28SB1311070619
Thanks!

MSI 785GTM-E45 BIOS CPU fan voltage control

Hello MSI gurus,
I've replaced the MB in an older HP media center with the MSI 785GTM-E45 running BIOS V8.8 out of the box.
CPU = Athlon 64 X2 4200+
My problem is the stock CPU fan has a 3 pin connection (voltage controlled) and is running at 100% speed all the time. From what I've read on the forums there are a number of people that have this issue (with other MBs with 4 pin cpu fan headers) and don't want to switch to a 4 pin CPU fan (PWM controlled). I am in the same situation.
I am hoping that there is a BIOS for this board that has an option to switch to or enable voltage control on the CPU fan header.
I have tried enabling the CPU smart fan target but no matter what settings I chose the fan remains at 100%. The H/W monitor of the MB indicates a CPU temperature (33C) well below the target (tried all options from 40C to 60C in 5C increments).
I have tried MSI's dual core center and it had no effect on the fan speed.
I have tried the 3rd party freeware SpeedFan and if had no effect on the fan speed.
I am not able to check if I have the latest BIOS or even find changelogs for existing BIOS verions because MSI seems to only direct BIOS downloads for this product to the Live update application. I have installed the live update program and it indicated V8.8 was the most recent veriosn of the BIOS for this board, although I have seen posts indicating the Live Update application is not to be trusted.
Dual core center, SpeedFan, and Live Update have all now been uninstalled.
I know the fan I'm using will change speed because I can connect a 3 pin fan controller and manually dial down the speed.
I know the BIOS can read the fan speed becase it correctly shows the RPM changes when I use the hardware fan controller.
Can anyone direct me to a BIOS version for this board (or some secret keystroke) that enables automated 3 pin voltage control on the CPU fan header?
Thanks in advance for your time.

For those who are interested I received the following answer from MSI technical support. Personally I find this to be a flaw in this board's design. I chose this MB to replace a dead MB in a HP media center for a friend. If I was buying this board for myself I likely would be using it as a HTPC because of the mATX form factor, HDMI on board, and backward compatibility for CPUs. However, due to the added cost of purchasing a new heat sink and fan I would be RMAing if I had bought it for myself. Considering many of the top performing after market coolers still come with a 3 pin fan it was a poor decision for MSI to not include support for automatic speed control of a 3 pin voltage controlled fan.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for contacting msi technical support team!
We are sorry that because of the circuit designs,we could not add cpu smart function for 3 pin's connector fan in the BIOS. The difference between 3pins and 4pins is that the second has a temperature controller but the first does not.We would suggest you utilize a 4-pin CPU Fan in order to control the CPU Fan speed.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused you!
Best regards,
MSI Technical Support Team

MSI G31TM-P35 voltage control?

Hi, I'm wondering how do you up the voltage of anything on this motherboard? I thought this motherboard came with voltage control built in but I guess I was wrong. I'm trying to achieve a stable overclock with this board.

Quote
So is there a way I can shoestring voltage control from another BIOS for another motherboard with a similar chipset into a BIOS for this motherboard?
Unless you are an experienced BIOS modder with expert skills in handling assembler code the answer is likely to be "no".

Unlocked Voltage Controll

Hello.
I've got MSI GTX 670 PE and I'm using MSI Afterburner ( 3.0.0 Beta 9 atm. but with 2.2.3 and other versions I've got the same problem ).
The voltage controll is unlocked, I'm able to controll mem voltage, I got +745Mhz ( 3746Mhz total ) mem to work on +50mV.
Actualy this is the only unlocked voltage that works. Changing Core and Aux Voltage has no effetc ( either -100mV and +100mV, the readings are same all the time ).
Actualy I got +70Mhz ( 1320Mhz total ) set on it with +0mV but as I said voltage dosen't work.
I'm wondering how to fix it, maybe its coused by my BIOS ? I'm using 80.04.4b.00.47 which is default for my card.
Also, I'm using driver 314.22.

The vbios of most GTX670 PE are limited to 1.175v max due to Nvidia dictating that when production started. Aux voltage increase works but you can't monitor that with software.
Check this thread: gtx 670 power edition OC unlocked bios?

MSI Afterburner - MSI 7850 Voltage Control

When will afterburner support voltage control for this card? We're able to unlock voltage control in options but still not able to change the voltage control in afterburner. Other mis 7970 cards can use it fine, not this msi 7850 though.

Hi again
I have been doing some further testing today, using the AMD Catalyst drivers v12.8 and MSI Afterburner v2.2.3.
THE MSI R7850 Power Edition 2GD5 card appears to have two GPU core VDDC voltage states as standard, 0.82v for 2D clocks and 1.21v for 3D clocks.
I have confirmed this using GPU-Z v0.6.4 (managed to get it to display current VDDC correctly at last) and AIDA64. For some reason , Afterburner lets it appear that you are changing the VDDC voltage (once the unlock voltage options are ticked in settings). Afterburner shows a core default VDDC of 1075mv when first installed which doesn't tally with what is actually the current 3D clock VDDC voltage of 1.21v. Even sliding this to 1.1v or 1.3v (the maximum) has no effect on the VDDC or 1.21v. The Afterburner OSD will always display what the voltage is set to on its own slider, even if sensor output still shows the actual 1.21v.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. I installed the Sapphire Trixx application which as you probably know, is similar to Afterburner. Right at the start, it was displaying the adjustable core VDDC voltage as 1.21v although the slider would only let me decrease the voltage. I believe that this is due to Trixx having a VDDC limit of 1.18v. To test Trixx, I reduced the core VDDC to 1.1v. This core voltage adjustment was successfully reflected in MSI Kombustor, AIDA 64, GPU-Z when running 3D..
Strangely, this means that the Trixx application will let me adjust the volatge on MSI Power Edition GPU core, albeit only to down volt from 1.21v where as the MSI Afterburner app does not adjust the core voltage at all, despite the fact that on the surface, it appears to work, letting you select core voltage 0.82v all the way to 1.3v. The 7850 states that it is triple overvoltage enchanced but Afterburner will not bypass the hard coded MSI BIOS voltages.

270X voltage control, AB 3.0.0 b18

Hello,
I have a brand new R9 270x Hawk running catalyst 13.12 and the newest Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta18. The Hawk claims to have triple voltage control, but I cannot seem to get Afterburner to give me the option to adjust the voltages even with voltage controls set to unlock.
Does the card need a bios update, or is there some other way to unlock the voltage controls on the 270x?

I guess no one has any insight into this topic.
In the mean time, is it possible that there is a new UEFI/GOP bios for this card?
It is R9 270X Hawk (912-V303-004)
Display device : MSI R270X HAWK on Curacao GPU
Display driver : 9.14.10.01001, Catalyst 13.12
On-board memory : 3840MB
BIOS : 015.041.000.000 (.002887)
GUID : VEN_1002&DEV_6810&SUBSYS_30331462&REV_00&BUS_1&DEV_0&FN_0
the bios rom is "150118.rom" dated 10/07/2013.
I have full access to the voltage control for the MSI R7870 TF/OC that is in crossfire with the Hawk. *The Hawk is the master card.
I'm also confused as to why the 270X is reaching 80C+ under gaming load at stock voltage/frequencies, while the 7870 with voltage cranked up to 1.256 and frequencies at 1220/1400 only reaches 56C under the same load. I thought the two cards were based on the same design, and if anything, the 270X would run cooler with the Twin Frozr IV cooler and added heat plate???
^ The reason I ask about the heat level is that the many reviews of the card I read before I purchased it had it maxing out at 60-65C under gaming load, similar to the 7870 TFIII/OC. I wonder if the fan controller on the card is not working properly.

Bios for N570GTX TF III Power/OC edition

After reading on a few other forums, I was pointed in the direction of the MSI forum for a bios update for this card.
I own two and they perform very well, but I cannot change the voltage with afterburner 2.1.0. Also, I can barely overclock the card (815MHz for core clock is about as high as I can go).
Is there a bios that allows for more stability?
I'm not planing to run this card with very volts, but just wanted a higher OC as these cards should be capable of it.

Quote from: Henry on 20-June-11, 04:38:42
You need to get AB 2.2.0 Beta 3 to get voltage control on the newer card like that.
http://downloads.guru3d.com/-MSI-Afterburner-2.2.0-Beta-3-download-2718.html
You shouldn't need BIOS mod for that, AB 2.1.0 simply won't allow voltage control on the newer cards.
It works! Thanks!

No, you won't. Only physical damage caused in the process would. The sticker is meant to prevent from careless tinkering with the card. If you need a confirmation from your local MSI office: >>How to contact MSI.<<

There is no such. The R9 280X batches not allowing voltage adjustments by default are finally not supported for voltage adjustments. If wanting to contact MSI about it: >>How to contact MSI.<<

Need help with bios for k9n sli v2(ms-7390)

I recently got a phenom 2 720 black edition CPU, and I flashed my bios with the beta bios for my board(7390v123).
Everything runs fine, except for now I can't change the CPU multiplier or CPU voltage(there locked on auto). Yes I do know about +/- and pgup/pgdn, the problem is it won't allow me to even select these options, it skips right over them to the next option. My motherboard is K9N SLI V2(Ms-7390). If anyone could help me out I'd be grateful thanks.

Looking for some more voltage love K9N4-SLI

Maybe one of you fine folks can help a brother out on a bios. I have the 1.51 bios for my K9N4 SLI-F board, and the one thing that's holding me back is a little more voltage out of my ram, and possibly a smidge on the north bridge. Is it possible to modify the bios so I can up the ram voltage? I'm running a 5000+ BE and I have plenty of cooling to keep the rig cool. I'm using 2x2gig sticks of GSKill pc6400 F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ and a little more voltage would probably go a long way. Thanks in advance.

Again, this board is invaluable. You got me from 3000 to 3150, and I can probably keep going. Raised my ram to 2, northbridge and processor up .5. Running VERY cool, running VERY stable, thanks!
Nice

Cant see option in bios for changing ram speed

i want to change ram from 400 to 333 but cant seem to see the option in the bios, where abouts is it?
btw the reason im asking is because im trying to make the system more stable during 3D games... i already replaced power supply with a nice new enermax which seems to have reduced the crashing to destop but its still happening quite a bit in some games, so this is gonna be the next thing ill try.
also, what differene would changing aperture size from 128 up to 256 do usually?

Hi
We will assume its a K8T Neo Fis2r Mobo, with AMD 64 CPU.
Page 3- 11 of your manual Advanced Chipset features.
Memclock Mode, set it to limit.
Memclock Value set this to 333,
Exit and save.
If you vid card has a big memory then it should not need much of the Mobos resouces. Modern cards don't need any resources from mobo, but set it to what you like, won't do any harm. If you think it runs better then good.
Crashing - not BSOD, just freesing or closing games I assume. Ram may help, also try raising the DDR and AGP volts in Frequency/ Voltage control.
Are you Ocing rig, it could be overheat prob, are you running default settings? If you are OCing then lower the vcore volts to 1.425, will not affect performance, but will drop the CPU temp by around 5C.
Cheers

Reboot Window 7 and Voltage Control in Afterburner is gone (N460GTX)

after i got my MSI N460GTX HAWK card and i use MSI Afterburner 2.0.0 with Driver 260.99 i haven't tried older or newer driver but when i reboot my Windows 7 Ultimate x86 my voltage control is gone and i have to unclick them, restart Afterburner, click them restart Afterburner and i can adjust them again, i was wondering if it's Afterburner or card (Software or Hardware) problem?

Quote from: Henry on 27-November-10, 06:47:20
Do you have it set to apply at system startup? Do you have a saved profile for it to startup on? Do both and it will apply your settings each time you cold start or warm re-start your PC.
Edit: Where I have it underlined in red, click on the little green button on the left to apply at startup.
This is not related to voltage unlock setting

Old(er) BIOS for MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC ?

Does anyone know where to obtain older BIOSes for my videocard (see subject)? It seems I made the mistake of not backing up the old one when I flashed to the new official BIOS that was released by MSI (https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/msi-nvidia-graphics-cards-from-570-580-series-read-here).
The problem with this updated BIOS is that although it does increase the default voltage a bit, making it more (but not entirely) stable in certain games, it also causes instability during boot when the card is in VESA mode - I get to see funky pixels, sometimes BSODs when booting Windows. Once it is booted and the login screen appears, the pixel artifacts are gone and I can play games for hours - it's just during boot where the card seems to be flaky.
Considering that I can just increase the voltage for better stability using Afterburner, I'd like to try and flashing the original BIOS for my card that I had on it originally which I believe was version 70.10.20.00.01 - I guess I can't be a 100% sure that these problems are caused by the updated BIOS, but all I know is that none of the problems described above were present with this older version and they appeared immediately after flashing the update

Quote from: aphax on 02-June-12, 02:21:58
This is the currently flashed VBIOS (retreived via GPU-Z) that fixed the booting issue: http://dump.aphax.nl/files/580gtx/GF110.rom

I have to report you about bugs in latest BIOS for MSI-6545 ver.1 (version BIOS 1.7).
After flashig BIOS I cannot change parameters "Shutdown temperatures", "Spread spectrum" and some others !!!
When I try to do it, my computer hangs.
I have CPU PIV-2.4-400-512 with memory 512MB Samsung original PC-800 ECC
(By the way,there was no problems with BIOS 1.5 and CPU Intel PIV-1.6)
[email protected]

I have also noticed that the bios write protect control is missing.
I don't know the reason why it's been removed but if you want to protect your bios you can set the jumper (J16) on your motherboard.
If the jumper (J16) is shorted (Little plastic thing conecting both pins together) then the bios flash is locked and can't be updated.
If the jumper (J16) is not shorted (Little plastic thing removed) then the bios flash is unlocked.
Also can anyone tell me if two gameports are listed in the Device Manager after clearing cmos using bios 1.7.
Bios 1.5 is ok apart from the fact that i can't upgrade my processor to 2.6GHz as it only supports up to 2.2GHz so if i upgrade processor i won't be able to clear cmos because of the problem with the gameports.
I have tried everything to get rid of one of the gameports but nothing seems to work apart from going back to bios 1.5 which is no good because i wan't to upgrade my processor.
