@SVet, I can do that if I get any issue. Just installed the card on a new machine and was thinking preventitive. I had heard that the N580GTX/OC had stabilitiy issues that required bios upgrades. Before I start crashing my machine, I was hoping to just go with a bios change that has worked for someone else.
It can't be used as each VGA is unique and require custom attention if issue occur.

run an "cmd", then goto extracted folder then type:
nvflash.exe -v [ENTER]
you will able to see it.
Other way is get GPU-Z ==> http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2018/TechPowerUp%20GPU-Z%20v0.5.4.html
Then save the VBIOS
Click on the icon:
Select "Save to file", and save the VBIOS to some location and remember it.
then upload it somewhere like http://www.mediafire.com/ and give the link to it

N580 gtx Twin Frozr II - Suddenly dead

Dear all,
Thank you so much for looking at my post, and I hope anyone will be able to help me with this issue.
I have a n580gtx TwinFrozr II that worked fine until now..
WHile I was playing a low spec game ( not much graphic involved) the computer restarted. and from that second onward I was not able to see the screen anymore.
I changed the graphic card and everything work fine.
I have tried to plug the card in another computer, but in that case the bios didnt even started and I have to unplug everything from the motherboard and replug it to reuse the computer again.
I would like to know if this is a known issue and if there is any way to repair the board at a reasonable price.
Thank you so much for your help.

List full system specs, read >>Posting Guide<<
have you tested the card in another PC yet?

Got the 6870 twin Frozr do I need a bios update?

I returned my Gtx 560 and got the 6870 twin frozr oc. I like it much better. Do I need a bios update for this card? I'm assuming I have the stock version...
Thanks

no, vbios update is need in rare cases only

MSI 580 GTX twin Frozr voltage / BIOS query

Hi everyone
I was wondering what the default voltage is on the core these days for this card. I'm aware that there was a new BIOS a while back to increase it for "improved GPU stability".
I only ask as I've just had to return a Gigabyte 580 GTX OC that was not stable at the stock vid (IE. 1V). Was OK running 1.025v but I did not think / want to have to edit the BIOS myself to get it to run at stock speeds.
So... now thinking about buying the MSI 580 GTX twin Frozr but wondering what the stock GPU voltage is on cards being sold at the moment?
I've has an MSI 460 GTX HAWK for a while now and have been very happy with it (come to that... my mobo is an MSI one now as well). But don't want to have to go through a lot of heartache and wasted time again.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Just thought that I would just say "thank you" for your assistance / comments. It is appreciated.
I did in the end purchase the MSI 580 GTX OC Twin Frozr and all would appear to be fine (2 hours of looping 3Dmark11 should = fully stable I hope). I was just a bit windy having gone through the hassle of purchasing one make of card and having to return it.
The default voltage according to Afterburner is 1.038v, a fair bit higher than the Gigabyte card. I've also noticed that the default fan profile is a fair bit less aggressive than on the 460 HAWK, so don't feel that I need to set one up myself for the 580 (like I did for the 460 HAWK).
So all told pretty happy at the moment.
Thanks again
test it more deeper, look here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148285.msg1102468#msg1102468

It's not brand related, its luck and draw depend of unit itself.

MSI N570 GTX TWIN FROZR II/ OC WRONG CLOCKS ON BIOS

My N570 GTX Twin Frozr II/ OC is with wrong clocks, real is 750/4000mhz, and this one is 786/4200mhz. I really need help to flash it to normal clocks.

570 GTX Twin Frozr II OC - Stability issues with newest drivers

Hi there,
Been noticing lately that i've come across a nasty 280.26 Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding issue with my 570 SLI.
Some people running the 280.26 drivers have also reported, while others have said increasing voltage has fixed their problem.
Could I get some support in finding out how/what to set my voltages too?
The cards are 570 GTX Twin Frozr II OCs. I did get a bios update earlier in the year after some problems, they were clocked at the wrong speed. (786mh instead of 750mhz)
GPU-Z shows im running bios 70.10.17.00.03
Is there a newer one?
Thanks

You say the voltage range is upto 1.25mv , but how can a game be unstable but not make use of the 1.25mV barrier? Who is responsible for using the extra voltage when required?
People state they are increasing their mV to make some DX 11 games stable, but how?
If what your telling me, is that the cards are already set to use an increased voltage, why aren't they doing so?
As you can see, under load.... the higher mV range isn't used so the overclocks on the cards are pointless. The more games which come out that use DX11, the more problems you will get.
If it's down to drivers, someone needs to get onto nVidia from a corporate or business level because they won't respond to the end user, they just blame you guys for everything.

Read again my replies, seems you misread most of the parts
Quote from: Arthur Hucksake on 02-September-11, 21:09:00
To add to that, I have to set the voltage to 1.00mv in Afterburner and to get Deus Ex HR more stable with the 280.26 drivers.
So what gives? Is it safe to update the bios to 1.00mv somehow?
Why are these problems only getting found out with the 280.26 drivers?
Where does the customer stand here? There's a direct problem with power handling by all parties involved.

MSI GTX Twin Frozr 780 Fan not spinning

Hello ,
Ive had the GTX twin frozr 780 for 5 months now and every 10 to 20 cold start ups of the PC (sometimes more sometimes less) ,the left hand fan will fail to spin causing the other fan to spin at full speed. Rebooting the PC does not correct it, i have to take the side off the PC and gently tap the fan to get it spinning again, then put the side panel back on, i have put up with this for 5 months now and now had enough of it as it seems to be happening more often.
Please help as this little problem is now becoming very annoying.
When i purchased the msi 780 i got 2 off them to run in sli and the other 780 is fine and has no problems.
Ive been a good customer and have bought 4 top end msi graphics cards in the last few years and this is the only one that i've had a problem with.
When i try and rise a RMA with the place of purchase (DABS.COM) it say on there website that i have to return it back to the manufacturer , but when i try to use the msi website returns service its say that i have to return to the place of purchase ..... please could someone help as this is getting very frustrating now
many thanks Jason

Just got off the phone with dabs.com and there sending a courier in the morning to pick it up for R.M.A .
Thanks for your help.
PS just out of interest have you heard of anyone other people with the same issue, as it is very intermittent and was a bit worried that they may not replace it if they can't replicate the fault.

TRI SLI MSI 580 GTX Twin Frozr II

Hello everyone,
Actually running 3 x GTX 570 MSI OC, with reference cooler and getting great temps under load.
Going to change the three of them with 3 MSI 580 GTX Twin Frozr II.
I've read bad experiences with this kind of cooler and SLI.
Is it a good a idea tu run TRI SLI with this type of cooler (Twin Frozr II) or should I look for three 580 with reference cooler??
Thanks for any answers or idead.
My specs:
- Corsair AX1200
- Lian Li Pc-80
- Gigabyte X58 UD7

Thanks for the reply. I watched that video but also watched this one:
He says the cards get up to 100ºC.
I know twin frozr works better than reference wit just one card, but with TRI SLI the cards being so closed and the cooler not sending the air out of the case (like the reference cooler does), maybe not the best solution.
Trying to confirm before I buy the three of them.

Long bios load time with gtx970 - maybe need gpu bios update?

I just installed my gtx 970 and it all runs fine. However I get a very long bios load time on boot up. Normally it only takes a second or two with a single beep. With the 970 though I get the single beep and the bios load screen, but it sits at that screen for a long time, then another beep, waiting, eventually another beep, and after some more waiting windows will start to load.
My problem is that now I can also no longer get in to the bios. I have tried even plugging in a ps/2 keyboard to see if maybe that could get me in. The farthest I get after hitting delete to enter is I just end up at a black screen. My mobo has no onboard gpu output, so its not like its trying to go to a monitor I cant see.
So would any gpu bios updates fix this? I am currently at the latest bios for my board which updated it to a uefi bios.
cpu: i7-2600k (yes Im aware I will only have pcie2)
mobo: gigabyte z68 d3-b3
ram: 16gb
gpu: MSI gtx 970 Gaming (previous was an evga gtx 660)

Under bios features, is there a option called boot mode select?
Try to switch to "legacy only", save and reboot.
Are you using HDMI connector? Try to use DVI.
Sorry for my english!
I dont remember seeing any boot mode select. As far as connections I am using all DVI for my monitors. I have also tried only having a single one connected in case there were issues with multiple monitors
Quote from: Svet on 02-January-15, 10:56:46
with those old boards, you need ME8 to works with modern cards
ask gigabyte support about it
Thanks Ill try emailing them. Is ME8 some other bios? Just never heard of it before
-edit
After reading up it looks like it was just a revision to allow ivy bridge devices, which happened a long long time ago on a bios update:
Support Intel 3rd generation 22nm E1 stepping CPU (Ivy bridge)
Improve power on issue
Update ME / CPU code
Unless theres something else Im missing about ME8

Need traditional BIOS update for Qosmio F30-111

I would like to get the traditional BIOS update like described in BIOS update FAQ. I don't have windows installed for updating it. (and I don't want to install it)
Can someone supply it? 3.90 version.
Thanks

Hello
if you do not want to install windows and you need to run the bios update windows software , then you can try this method
Instructions
1. download the BIOS
2. Unzip to root of USB flash drive (formatted as FAT32) {"P0041v390.exe" is inside "bios-20080505133719.zip" v3.90}
3. Unplug the USB flash drive and power down.
4. Insert the 32 bit Vista DVD and boot from it (you are not actually going to end up installing it or doing anything, this just gets you to the 32 bit WinPE environment)
5. Click through until you get to the screen with the activate online checkbox and uncheck it.
6. Connect the USB flash key to the computer
7. Press Shift-F10 to open a command prompt
8. Change to the correct drive for the USB flash drive
9. type "P0041v390.exe" {or what ever} and press enter
10. after the flash is complete, before letting the machine restart, EJECT the DVD. (remember, nothing was installed and nothing really happened except you had access to a 32 bit WinPE environment which you needed to flash the BIOS).
{color:#ff0000}I did not try this method , try it and tell me
{color}
good luck ;)

570 GTX Twin Frozr II OC - Ok to flash non OC bios?

Hi there,
For stability purposes, is it safe to flash the reference non overclock edition bios for these Twin Frozr II OCs?
I'm sick of having to use MSI Afterburner to slightly lower clocks and if I RMA the cards, they will just run benchmarks and Unigine... deem them fine and send them back.
The problems I have experienced are limited to certain DX11 games and lowering the clocks a bit seems to fix the issue.
I don't mind sacrificing 5 fps if it means stability. I've got SLI so it's not a big deal.

Deus Ex HR ...crashes
BF3 ...crashes
Skyrim ...crash to desktop without error
Lowering the clocks makes the system more stable and I don't want to use a softmod in Windows, rather not use Afterburner tbh.
Why I want to know if using the regular Twin Frozr II bios (non OC edition) would be ok.

UEFI BIOS Request for MSI Twin Frozr GTX 770 4GB

Hello,
My S/N is 602-V282-22SB1308028712
I have a Twin Frozr GTX 770 with 4GB of memory.
Thank You!

Use the attached.
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

Do I need another RMA? N560GTX Ti Twin Frozr II/OC

Hey folks. Hi Svet.
Question: So, uh, is there something wrong with 560 GTX Ti based cards?!
I bought the card in February. It went flaky and was RMA'd in June.
Thread here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=149374.msg1109239#msg1109239
They sent me someone elses' repaired card, or a new card, but it hasn't lasted even 5 months of near zero use! I put in the replacement, and it seemed to work fine; ran all benchmarks and tests when I first installed it. And never gave it another thought.
I haven't had much need for 3D or gaming, I certainly haven't had time to game all summer. I mostly web browse and photo edit, and for that it's working fine. I'm mostly in linux and the only OpenGL work I do is rendering/modelling in Blender. In case you don't know, consumer 3D like 3D Vision doesn't work under linux.
Fast forward to today. Some family were over, the kids wanted to play with the cool 3D glasses, so I fire up Win7x64 and an OLD game (TOB: HL2 & Portal) and it looks horrible!
The white "fire flies" are everywhere, it looks kind of like a sports stadium filled with camera flashes going off. The textures are not only tearing, but the colors are freaky (mostly primary colors - white, magenta, blue) and tons of flickering. The textures are flickering individually. 3D or non-3D it's the same. You can still play, but of course you can't see. And eventually, it locks, and you have to reboot.
Trying to run Kombustor at just 1280x720 results in garbled video and finally the app crashes or hangs. The "furry" text is all interconnected, like there's extra faces or something.
The card has never been overclocked (beyond factory OC)... 880/1760/2100 MHz. Re: temps, in 2D it's always around 34C (and it never gets over 54C before crashing.)
The system is stable and runs just fine, until you throw something graphically-intensive at it, like gaming. Then the card goes boom.
This is with the 285.62 driver, I've also tried the 280.26 from the MSI site with the same results.
I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue, the reason I'm posting before RMAing is, what should I do here? I do NOT want to RMA this thing just to have it die again. I want a stable system, period. The card should last indefinitely, at least until it's so old no one would bother using it! And with solid caps replacing that first-to-fail point of electrolytics, this should be easily attainable! I know MSI won't ever say if there's a design flaw with the chip nor the card, but you guys are another story. Could I, for example, get an RMA unit and then flash it so it will be a slower, ordinary 560GTX? Obviously I could, what I mean is, would this make the card survive longer? I'll take stable over speed any day of the week.
As you can imagine, I'm frustrated. And POOR, which makes matters worse - I can't swap it out even if I wanted to.
Well, thanks for reading. Any help appreciated.
