Fan problem with NX6800GT TD256

The NX6800GT has a sliding fan controller to adjust the fan speeds. When I try to turn the fan all the way down, there is a really annoying high pitched whine. It goes away when I turn the fan up, but then it is too load. Is this whine normal and does anyone else get it?

I do not think this is normal.
See what others say.
I would be considering an RMA.

Problem with NX6800GT TD256 AGP

Could anyone help me? I plugged the MSI NX6800GT TD256 AGP 8x and in the card's information it says Bus : PCIx0. I have installed the latest drivers but the problem remains.My system is: AMD A64 3400, ASUS K8N nForce3, 512 DDR
Thank you.

When I choose platform/nforce which driver have I to download? (Audio driver package, unigied driver or NVIDIA ntune?) I don't know much about computers and sorry for my english, I am from Greece.

How many had fan problems with PbG4 12?

After only 3 years of very gentle care, my fan is growling and may need to be
replaced. In my computer experience, I have never heard of a fan quitting in the
first 3 years.
But, is this a common problem of this model? If it is, then shame on Apple for building expensive
computers with cheap components.
So cast your vote:
did anybody else experience fan problems with the PBG412?

I've had my 12" PB for 4 years now, and I have ever had a problem with the fan. My has workeed fine from day one. I still use it from time to time and, in some ways, prefer it over my Macbook.

More annoying fan problems with GE60

Hello,
I have big problems with my fan. My GE60 is 9 months old and now it's making terrible fan-noise every 7-10 seconds. It's starting until 100 percent and after that it's going down to zero. I guess it's the same as in the following threads.

G5 Fan Problems with Leopard

I'd had problems controlling the fans on my dad's G5 tower under Tiger (and also under Panther), and I was hoping that they'd be solved once I migrated to Leopard. No such luck, it now appears. Before, the fans would only ramp-up in my user account, because that's where I did most of the system upgrades/updates. Now they do that in anyone's account, not just mine. Today I found that my mom had left the computer on unattended, and after an hour of doing nothing a kernel panic had resulted, with the fans going full blast. I managed to shut the system down, and barely averted a real disaster.
I need to know if there is something I can do to permanently fix this problem. Going into Energy Saver Preferences in each user account, and setting Processor Performance to Highest, won't serve as an adequate solution for long. Is there a firmware upgrade that can handle this? (I think there is for other systems IIRC, but not for a G5 tower that I know of.) The fan control problem has been with me through many system updates in Tiger and Panther, as I said, and short of buying a new Mac I'd like to know how to fix this.

I did indeed upgrade from Tiger, but no real options were given to me in installation (and I did not click on Customize). The only incompatibility I've seen to date has been with the print driver for our HP DeskJet 842c--the Leopard driver went haywire, so we had to reinstall v2.7.1 from the HP support site. Other than that, everything's been okay otherwise. I'm preparing to update anything else that needs updating, such as vital utilities.
The fan problem is what I believe caused the kernel panic. It's happened twice to my knowledge, and in both cases the computer was left on with the login screen up, and with no attempt made to login to an account. The computer was simply left on with nothing to do but attempt to self-destruct. (I have since posted a sign near the computer warning against this behavior on the user's part.)
The fact that the fans go berserk in this thing is why I ask if there's a firmware upgrade available for it, though by now there may no longer be any official support for G5 systems now that everything's gone Intel. I'm planning on getting a Mac of my own one day soon, but my folks can't afford a new system of their own for quite a long time to come, so this is it for them. And it needs to work properly. My mom likes to remind me that some people leave their systems on 24/7 without ill effects, but I remind her that we aren't as blessed as those people to have such a system. I really need a working solution to this.

[GeForce PCe] Fan problems with the 6600gt

I have been running my 6600 GT's in SLI for about 6 months now and I started to notice problems during game play. I get alot of lines and pixelization when I play most of my games. I decided to pull the cards out and take a look at it and I found that the fan had siezed up and that it had also seperated from the heatsink. That was on the primary, the secondary was fine. So I pulled the bad card out and started using the good card this was 3 days ago. I noticed the same thing as I was playing some battelfield 2 this morning so I pulled the card out and it has done the same thing. I do not overclock. I have 4 case fans including one infront of the video cards on the side window. I think this may be the cause to many of the problems that I hear about on this forum. Also I want to know since my cards both work for just windows and internet stuff can I slap some other kind of fan or cooler on there and they will work jusf fine or am I screwed?

U can but removing the stock hsf will void ur warrenty.
I'ed try RMA first.
Newegg has got a whole bunch to choose from, in case u decide to remove the stock ones.
Do make sure they are compatible with ur vga chip (6600GT PCI-Ex).

TV-Out and analogue issues with NX6800GT TD256

Hi,
I bought this card about two months ago and am having issues with it...
Firstly, on Sunday the analogue output for the monitor stopped working correctly. All of the pictures coming through had this kind of green overlay (so the text even in bios boot that would ordinarily be white looked kinda green). I tested with another monitor, it was the same. I tried putting it on DVI, and it worked properly.
Now, I want to use TV-Out, but when I connect the TV-Out to the card while I have DVI plugged in, I can't get the TV to display at the same time as the monitor is plugged into the DVI connector (it works when plugged into the HD-15, though again, looks green).
Anyone have any suggestions for what I should do? Can the card display both tv-out and DVI at the same time?
Andrew

Anyone have any suggestions about this?

NX6800GT TD256 problems

hello. I purchase/bought a MSI NX6800GT TD256 and I noticed that this VGA card was made with production problems, and my 6800GT is with this problems... unfortunatelly (blue dots and my computer never initializate) - my power supply is a seventeam 400w and i was tested my card in 3 computers (same problems)
I entered in several forum and all say the same thing, MSI manufactured a wrong VGA card model during some time, with the cooler BBN (of plastic) and later modified the model placing a cooler called Cooper Ultra.
In the image, my model is the first picture and the correct model is the second.
but in the second image, besides in the site of MSI, it shows up the correct model, that is different from mine.
How should I proceed to change the model?
Thank you

It seems that since the introduction of the PCI-e version of the 6800 series... they have also started using the black-reference cooler...
Take a look at the photo of the NU pci-e in the photo...

Problem with HP pavillion dv7 giving message (a problem with the internal fan enter = shutdown

HP Pavillion DV7 notebook PC
Windows 7 64
intel I5
6 gig memory
service pack 1
I am trying to identify a problem with my HP Pavillion dv7 laptop
Several months ago it started getting hot and showing messages about problems with the internal fan and battery. It would say enter = shutdown and shut off. I suspected a bad battery so I checked it without it just plugging it in with the power cable. It seemed to work better so I assumed that was the problem.
I ordered a new battery and it worked for a while. The problem came back and is getting worse. I can run it without the battery for a while but it gets got and shows the same message.
I read on here that flashing and updating the bios worked for some but the latest update gives me an error IHISI not support BIOS then Insyde flash not supported.
any help would be great this PC has a lot of info on it and I dont think it is a lost cause
thanks

One more time - problems with fans

I realize this is but one of hundreds or possibly thousands of cases of Mac users being plagued by fan noise problems, but to me it has been a long and extremely frustrating saga. I have been a Mac user since the very beginning, through different versions of Macs and iMacs, and this is the first time I ever refer to a Macintosh as a "piece of junk."
I bought my iMac G5 in August 2005, a 20-inch ALS with 250 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. It worked perfectly until January this year, when all of sudden it shut down by itself. Freaked me out completely. Turned out to be power supply problem (EMC 2056) which Apple never informed me about.
I brought it to a repair shop that fixed the intermittent shut-down problem. I also added 1GB memory. But then the fans started to go berserk. Before the power supply problem, I only heard the fans whenever I used a large program like Photoshop. For the most part, it was a very quiet machine. After the power supply was replaced, within minutes of turning the iMac on, I could hear the fans spinning faster and faster, stabilizing at around 4400 rpm and did not stop spinning until I put the iMac to sleep or turned it off, regardless of CPU usage or software being used.
I checked the discussions at this forum (over 500 posts, no real answer) and did every "voodoo trick" suggested: I reset the SMU dozens of time, cleaned the inside of the iMac and around the fan area, did apple hardware test (everything was fine), monitored temperature and activity with XRG (average CPU at 160F, hard drive at 113F), cleaned out caches, tested for corrupt preferences, re-installed the original OS 10.4 (which only made the fans louder), upgraded it back to OS 10.4.9. I also removed the additional 1 GB memory, thinking it might be a bad piece. It didn't help.
Finally, I requested fan replacement from Apple and got them. I installed them last Sunday and now the problem is even worse! Within SECONDS of turning it on, the CPU T- Dio soars to around 170F, even while the machine is still stone cold to the touch. The hard drive temperature now averages at 117F, CPU fan is never below 4000 rpm (4400 rpm 98% of the time), even at 5-8% CPU usage.
The fans themselves are much quieter because they're brand new. But you can still hear the hums and whirs and it drives me nuts. More seriously, my iMac is now narcoleptic. If I use it too long (a few hours on a stretch) it will put itself to sleep, apparently because it thinks it is overheated. And when I use Photoshop or Illustrator, the awake time is even shorter. Depending on the outside temperature, at the most I can only use them for about an hour at a time. Two days ago we had heat wave, and even with the air conditioner running full blast in my study, the iMac kept falling asleep within minutes of using Illustrator.
Right now I am using TextEdit and no other program is running. Uptime is 59 minutes, average CPU 9.6%. CPU T-Dio is at 168.8F, hard drive 117.5F, CPU fan at 4400 rpm. I am out of ideas and before I do something drastic to this machine, if anyone knows what's going on with my iMac (I know every case is different), please help!

I do not have the solution... but the same problem with a nice iMac G5 purchased in July 2005.
My Mac operated very silently untill 6 month ago;problem MAY ( I am not sure) have started when I upgraded to 10.4.10 ; even with few applications and low CPU usage (80% or more inactive), it seems that I have the following regrettable chain of events;
==> the CPU temperature is quite high ( 60°c to 72°c most of the time, ie 140-160 °F)
==> resulting in fan turning at high speed ( 2.000 for CPU and system, 2500 for HD), and changing speed all the time
==> resulting in a noisy computer
I am SURE this was not the case 6 month ago, and I suspect it is linked to my upgrade to 10.4.10.
I did all sorts of reinstall, authorization repair, SMU reset, fan clean-up with no sucess.

Problems with G5 fans coming on...

I have a very early Power Mac Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 running OSX 10.4.11 which has started having strange problems... For apparantly no reason all the fans come on and stay on - this can sometimes be resolved with a restart, sometimes not, in which case I need to shut the machine down - after which it will sometimes not reboot the first time (gets as far a blue screen then hangs) - I then need to unplug it from the mains for 10 mins or so, afer which it will start up normally.
Looking into the problem I have discovered this message in the system log every time it happens:
Jan 10 22:01:19 teknomage kernel[0]: AppleMaxim6690::readI2C error (0xE00002C2) I2CAddr = 0x98, subAddr = 0x01
Jan 10 22:01:19 teknomage kernel[0]: AppleMaxim6690::getExternalTemp read temp failed!
I have also started running a temperature & hardware monitor to try and get to the bottom of this and have discovered that all my temperatures show a flatline when the fault is about to occur. If I then restart the machine, all fans will be running. If the machine starts up with all fans running. On one occasion, CPU A showed a flatline temperature of -6.1 degrees for several hours (with the machine working just fine!) and the machine restarted into all fans running mode after this.
I have tried both replacing the battery and resetting the PMU - which appeared to fix the fault for a few days, it then recurred.
The machine also will not sleep properly - in that it won't always wake from sleep and needs a power off and reboot - which sometimes occurs with all fans running.
Apart from that the machine works fine - all my software works etc even when all fans are running.
Any ideas as to the cause? I've not changed the hardware (except to replace the battrery when the fault first started) or software for over a year. Is it case of a failing logic board or could it be something else? Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Is there any problem in running the machine when the temperature monitor is showing flatline temperatures for all sensors - or is there a lower level system that will protect the machine should temperatures get too high (maybe by switching to all fans running?)

An update to my G5 fans problem - the problem got worse, with trouble booting the machine at all. It would sometimes take up to half a dozen attempts to get a chime and then a boot :-( Sometimes all the fans would come on after a few minutes, sometimes not at all day. Sleep mode stopped working completely. As the problem was getting worse and worse, I gave in a bought another, refurbished machine identical to mine, swapped over my disks, extra memory & SCSI card and everything on tha machine works just fine :-)
I may try to further diagnose the problem with the old machine later on.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with their imac fans being extremely loud when running at slow speeds? When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at higher speeds they quiet down. New HD fan was just installed.

I have an imac that I've had for a couple years. The fans have always been loud when running at the slower speeds. When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at a higher speed the fans quiet down. I had installed SMC fan control after multiple attempts with Apple to get the fan issue resolved. That seemed to keep the fans quiet enough. I've never had a problem with overheating. Recently the fans were becoming loud again even running at the slightly higher speeds so I took it to my local Apple store and they replaced the hard drive fan. I got it back and it's now as loud or louder than ever!! And, now SMC fan control won't "stick." The fans will speed up, but then gradually go back to the lower "loud" levels. I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

Thanks jared,
I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

Problem with fan speed on FM2-A75-P33

I have a problem with setting a lower cpu fan speed on my motherboard (Win7 64).
It always runs on high speed, and I can not decrease it. When I set values for min speed in ClickBios II (or manually in Bios before booting) to 0%, and desired temperature on some higher amount (60C), nothing happens. It always run on same high rpm, regardless any change of values. What can I do? Same thing with sys fan.
Live Bios says that I have latest version of BIOS and drivers.
thanks

That is odd. Only thing I can think of is maybe a conflict in settings between Click Bios and actual BIOS. One of the reasons I never use those programs. I'm not sure what to tell you, except that the fan speed settings on my board have all worked properly using standard BIOS settings.
If I was having issues I'd uninstall click BIOS and see if the issue continues. At least then you would know it's something else.

Hi,
I would recommend not using your notebook if the system fan has failed to avoid further damage to other components.

i already reinstall the software many times and still the same i dont know what is happening is there is somebody who can help me please im will waiting

There are any number of possibilies... you could have problems with runaway applications, causing your machine to overheat and setting the fans off, you could have bad fan sensors, etc.
Open Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities) and see if you have any apps that may be hogging the CPU. Call back.
