Fan problem: GTX 660 2GB Twin Frozr III

Hello!
I have a problem with my GPU fans.
Afterburner says the fans are spinning at all levels, but I can observe that they are not.
If I start at 0% and slowly increase the fan speed by 5% t doesn't work until it reach ~85%, but I if I start of at 100% and slowly decrease the speed by 5% it will work until it reaches ~70% (however at this point only 1 of the fans are spinning).
I've tried to reinstall the drivers and cleaning it, but with no result.
It seems like the fans can't idle correctly, they can either work at nearly max speed or not work at all.
Anyone els ever experienced the same problem?

What Afterburner version your are using???
Did you uncheck the red "auto" tab, and press the tick after you change the fan speed?

GTX 770 2GB Twin Frozr OC does not POST

Been building new PC over last couple of days. When I do not have the graphics card installed my system works fine. With the graphics card installed I am unable to reach the POST screen. I have switched the monitor cable between the graphics card and motherboard and do not receive an output signal for either. I have also swapped out the power cable going to the graphics card as well as tried different PCI outputs coming from the PSU.
I do not have access to another computer to try the graphics card on.
What are your recommendations for my next troubleshooting step? All system components are brand new.
System Info:
chip: Intel i5 4670k
cooling: Corsair H100i Liquid Cooler

Well as you don't have access to different computer to test it with, it's quite difficult. (friends? got any friends? :D )
I'd start off with... testing in another rig. Also it would be really good if you could test different card in your PC. As you said you're not able to test, maybe go to some local store and ask if they can test your PC?
Did you give CMOS clearing a shot? >>Clear CMOS Guide<< Also I'd look through BIOS settings.
Make sure it is fully pushed in, same with PCIe power cabling. Sometimes this might be an issue, as you can think it is fully in, but it's not.

7850 2GB Twin Frozr III HDMI Audio?

Hi,
I recently replaced my ATI 5450 512MB passive graphics card with the MSI 7850 2gb. I had hdmi audio working perfectly with the old card. However, with the new card, when I open "Playback Devices" in Sound, the ATI HDMI Audio says "not plugged in". I am using the video through HDMI and should be able to use the audio too.
I uninstalled the drivers I had on my system for the old card, and downloaded the latest drivers from the AMD website for the 7850. Has anyone else here had similar issues?
Edit: Adding system specs

have you tried msi vga drivers for your card?
Yes, I originally installed the drivers straight from the AMD site. I then uninstalled them using Driver Fusion, and installed drivers from the MSI site. With both sets of drivers I get "ATI HDMI Output" set to "not plugged in".
I had this same problem with a previous ATI 5450 512mb, but managed to fix the issue with driver updates, but driver updates won't fix it this time

GTX 770 2GB Twin Frozr Gaming Boost 2.0

Hey! Im new here and would like help to a question in my mind.
I got the GTX 770 and i wonder if there is any bios that turns of GPU Boost 2.0. Dont like it and want a constant clock when i set it.
Greetings from sweden!

Actually pulled it off.. I made my own bios and it worked. I Set the Base clock and the boost to 1085 mhz. So now i can increase the clock to exakt the clock i want.. in 1 mhz steps. No throttling! Always running the same clock speed.
Thx anyways!
Btw all i did was downloaded KeplerBiosTweaker v 1.25
Used gpu-z to save my bios. Then opened it in KeplerBiosTweaker and changed the boost clock to the same as default.. (1085.5mhz)
Saved and flashed it with Nvflash -4 -5 -6 biosname.rom in windows commande promt.
Done..

[Tech Help Needed] GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC Fan Stops Working

Hello everyone.
It's extremely rare for me to have computer issues, but this time it happened.
MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC, and here's the issue:
Whenever i turn on the computer the gpu fans spin for around 5seconds and after that they stop, for now they seem fine since i'm usually idling for the 1st 30minutes or so, but when i start playing games the gpu temperatures skyrocket to around 60-70 idling in-game and the fans just won't start working, yes the the psu cables are connected to the gpu, bla bla ( duh ). i've had the gpu for around 2years and it worked fine but all of a "sudden" the fans just seem to not work and it starts getting very high temperatures, i've read someone complaining about the same issue and he was told to replace his gpu bios with some uefi bios and he said that the uefi update solved his fan issues which were the same as mine.
Now my problem is, i've never done that "Bios Flashing" and things like that and i don't know if my Board is compatible. If it worked for that person then it should work for me since the symptoms are literally the same. I've tried uninstalling the gpu drivers completely and installed again, the issue still persists.
If it's of any reference i own the following setup:
MB : ROG Asus Crosshair IV Formula
CPU : AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE
GPU : MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC
RAM : 2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaw X 1600Mhz
PSU: Corsair GS 700 Gaming Series ( yes its more than enough and good enough )
I've literally had no problems whatsoever with my system for a few years now, and just like that the fans don't want to work, i can play games and what not, but at around 70ºC with no fans running ..... i've tried using MSI Afterburner to boost the fan speed, the fan speed setting gets set but the rpm stays at 0. i also made it to run on windows start and its still at 0 RPM.
Will the uefi bios solve my problem like it did to the other person with the exact same issue?
Thank you for your time spent reading, hopefully it will be solved.

Still no reply after 2 days, impressive support right there ... every other post that came after got replied ...
Anyway, if its also relevant about my issue :
- Fans briefly spin after i press the power button to turn on my computer and stop right after around 3-5s and never spin again until i shutdown and power on again for the same brief spin.
- If i force the fans on Afterburner to 90% or above ( 100% ) they spin and make unsupportable noise.
Also if its of any relevance :
N660 TF 2GD5/OC
S/N: 602 - V287 - 050B1302044857
At least provide me with the most up-to-date uefi/gop vbios or whatever that is, to see if it fixes my problem, otherwise recommend me a substitute cooling system that i can use ( a good one, not 3rd rated ) to replace the stock cooling in this because i don't have the money to get another card, and if i get one it won't be from msi for sure.
Very dissapointed.

Yes.
Make sure you have an adequate power supply.

R6950 Twin Frozr III 2gb Problem

Hi guys, got a problem with one of my cards that is in Crossfire..
Setup - i7 920, 20gb Gskill DDR3 1600mhz, Asus P6T Deluxe, Corsair AX950w 80+, 2 x R6950 Twin Frozr III 2gb Catalyst 12.3
Problem - These card's have been fine for around 6 months working in crosfire. Last couple of days defects have started to appear and now one of the card fails to be reckognized. I have taken out the card and tried it in another system and the system wont even post. I have tried switching the fan profile to see if this helps but still no post. 1st card is working perfectly in my main system and other systems I have.
Even bigger Problem - The shop where I have purchased the cards "SELEXIUM" last year is now bankrupt. Here is the article http://www.societe.com/societe/sarl-nextware-504241654.html
So I really dont know what to do, I have logged a ticket with msi to see if they can help..
Does anybody have experiance with MSI and returning cards directly to them in Europe ? Will they accept a RMA from a End User ?

for europe, its only via reseller.
contact near MSI office and explain the situation.

No, that is not possible. These are totally different cards. They have a different custom design with a cooler totally different and the GAming offering profiles that can't be used with an ordinary N660 TF 2GD5/OC

The fan is faulty. As no replacement parts are offered separately by MSI suggest to switch to an aftermarket cooler like

MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III loss of output

Hi folks,
I recently needed my monitor to test another rig and upon plugging it back in I discovered my MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III no longer has video output, I have tried different outputs, different cables, different displays and different motherboard slots to no avail. Had a search around and couldn't find any other instances of this. The card is 2 years old now but has always functioned perfectly (apart from the well publicised memory temperature problem). Any ideas what might be causing this issue?
Regards,
hotrats
Specs:
Windows 7 PRO SP1 64bit
AMD FX-8350 8 Core Black Edition Processor 4.57gHz OC
ASUS M5A99X EVO Motherboard R2
MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB DDR3
Thermatake 750W Evo_blue 2.0
I'm assuming drives and case aren't the issue so not listing them.

The card is 2 years old, but how long wasn't it used for and did you ever had any problems with it?
First of all, I would reset CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<< so all the OC is removed (write down settings of CPU OC if you want to use it later on).
Then (I don't know Asus boards) would look through the BIOS if it recognises the card. Possible you should get rid of the possible dust in PCIe slot?
Also: while card is plugged in, run computer and: try all the video ports, even those on motherboard (maybe board doesn't recognise the card and wants to run integrated gpu if there is any).
Last but not least: ask a friend/colleague if you can test your card in their computer. Best if it would be different brand of motherboard, and power supply. Possibly power supply is screwed up somewhere (broken connection)and doesn't deliver enough power to give output.
Does the card start up when you run the PC (fans of the card)?

Should I get an MSI GTX 560 Ti 448 Twin Frozr III?

I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card and obviously I'm looking to get one that'll go well together with Premiere (CS 5.5). For now, I've set my sights on the MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores Twin Frozr III 1280 MB. I'm especially attracted to this card, as from my research it should be particularly quiet in desktop use, which is essential to me. Would this be a good choice, or should I be looking at GTX 570 for instance, or a card with more memory?

Arve,
I appreciate the effective and quiet cooling provided by MSI's non-reference designs. I don't have the exact card you mention, but have a system with a MSI GTX 460 Hawk (twin fans, similar to the Frozr design) and it performs WAY quieter than the GTX 260 reference card I had prior to that. I would not be worried at all regarding noise and cooling with 120mm case fans. When comparing how much air 120mm fans can move to clear video card (and CPU) heat from your case vs. the reference GTX cards pushing air through a VERY tiny space, you can expect quieter and more effective cooling with the Frozer. The only possible caveat that I can think of with the Frozr is that you need at lease 1/2" of space in front of both fans so that air can easily enter the fans. If you have a motherboard / PCIe situation where you need to put a card immediately next to the Frozr, then you should go with a reference design; I suspect that gamers wanting 2, 3, or even 4 video cards running in SLI has a lot to do with why the various "big fan" designs are not more common in the market.
Additional to the cooling subject being discussed so far, there is another Newegg listed GTX 560Ti listed with less cores but 2GB of video RAM. Depending on if you ever edit anything with large frame needs such as large photos in video slide shows or RED 4k, etc., possibly the larger video buffer would be more advantageous to you system than the one you mention above that has a slightly higher core count.

Twin Frozr III fan sticker?

I have video card with Twin Frozr III cooling system and I have problem one fan is not working correctly and I think to put some oil in it (that helped in previous MSI cards) but problem is fan on Twin Frozr III is without sticker they have plastic plug on top which is unmovable I think glue sealed, question is how to put new oil in fan?

contact to reseller about it

Geforce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III PE/OC and BSOD

Hi,
I have an MSI Geforce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III PE/OC which appears to be causing system instability (graphical corruption upon boot i.e before windows), and BSOD. It typically occurs from a cold boot resulting in BSOD after the Windows logo. This will occur 2-3 times. The system then runs stably.
I have tracked this problem down to this card when running at x16 mode in my primary PCIe slot (slot 2, x16_1) on my motherboard. It does not occur if the card is in slot 5 (x16_2) where it only runs at x8 speed (2.5Gb/s rather than 5Gb/s). This does not occur if I place a borrowed Geforce GTX 260 in the primary PCIe slot (it runs at x16 fine and causes no such system instability).
I have tried out various mobo BIOS updates, checked all my system files, updated (and rolled back) my NVIDIA drivers, and checked my memory for errors with Memtest 86+. I cannot find any updates to my video card BIOS.
Can I assume the card is faulty, or does anyone have any other possible solutions?
Spec is:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel I5-2500K
Asus P8Z68V-Gen 3 mobo
8Gb Corsair DDR3 1800 mem
MSI Geforce GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC
Cheers!

Its a Corsair 750TX V2 (750 watt). I am also running 1 SSD, 2 hard drives and a blue-ray optical drive. You don't think its too much for the PSU do you?
The PSU its plenty enough
Quote
No I haven't tried it on another computer and I don't think its very likely I'll get the chance.
there is not much options then, except to RMA the card and to hope the problem to be there.
[else the problem will remain]
