Gtx 280 sli temperature

I have just bought 2 gtx 280 graphic cards. I instaled the cd drives from the msi cd but in my nvidia panel there is no physix and sli option. When i installed the latest driver osd vivid and all other programs disapeard.Any suggestions? I want the latest drivers with the osd vivid and other application. Also is there any program to ajust the fan speed or it is automated by the graphic card? My temperatures playing games reach 70 degrees and more.Do i have (and with what) to adjust the fun speed or that is beeing automated from the graphic card byself?
Sorry for my poor English
Thanx in advance for your answers.

Temperatures around 90°C at load would be still fine. Anything less than 100°C is ok. GTX280 are running awfully hot, so what you got is normal.
Riva Tuner would be good for fan control but don't lower fan speed too much. GTX280 are very noisy but they need high fan speeds in 3d.
OSD vivid? I guess your talking of the features of the MSI drivers. Those are MSI modified nvidia drivers to include such tools. None the less those aren't that up-to-date as the nvidia drivers. So you will most likely don't get the latest driver plus MSI features. If I were you with a quite new vga like GTX280 which requires newest drivers I'd rather go for the latest nvidia driver. Latest MSI driver with Star OSD and so on is 177.42 which is waayyy to old. Many fixes and performance increases for GT200 series came with 18x.xx drivers. Best would be going for nvidia 181.22.
First uninstall all currently installed nvidia drivers (also means the MSi ones) and then install 181.22 and SLi option should appear.

SLI problem, MSI gtx 280 super oc

I decided to get another gpu for my rig, the other being gigabyte gtx 280, and once I got the system running, it has been crashing usually always after a cold start (computed being shutdown for more than half an hour). By crashing I mean screen freeze. I have to shut the computer down and take the power off from the PSU. That fixes it untill I shut the computer down again for more than 30 minutes. I have tested both cards independently with OCCT, got no errors from memory and ran the gpu test for 1 hour straight and the temps stayed at 85C and no errors. RMA time or what could be the cause of the problem? Haven't had any such crashes when I was running a single gpu setting. Done clean install on graphics drivers, used driver sweeper etc. using the newest nvidia drivers. Had the same problem with every driver I have tried.
system specs:
cpu: AMD phenom x4 9950 BE @ 3ghz

well I can test the msi card again, but psu shouldnt be an issue, its a 1000w psu, is there any way to test if the pci-e slot is faulty?

Test it again alone, leave it full test.
Check ventilation system inside PC case and ensure that there is a good airflow.
Leave side door of the PC case open and add extra FAN to blow up directly to the VGA's.
Then re-test

See if you can place the second VGA in another pci-e slot instead, say 1st and 3th instead 1st and 2nd.
This also may help reducing heating

MOVED: SLI won't stay available on MSI Eclipse SLI mobo with 2 EVGA GTX 280s

This topic has been moved to Intel Core I7 boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=122254.0

I have 2 GTX 280 running in SLI with the new driver 182.06 vista 64 bit and everything works just fine.
First remove the physx software , than the nvidia driver with ad / remove programs in the configuration panel.
Restart you PC than install the new driver (182.06 vista 64 bit) and the new physx software (9.09.0203) is automatically installed with the driver. This is how i did it.
I use evga precision 1.4 tool for my GPU's and GPU-Z and there it is confirmed that sli is working as well in the nvidia controll panel.
My motherboard driver is 1.4B3.
CPU = i940 at 4083MHZ 177.6x23
Mem= 12GB Corsair XMS3 1333 at 1420MHZ.

GTX 280 - Crashes and RMA - Theories on my life.

I have a MSI GTX 280 OC purchased in July 08. This is the proverbial third year of warranty where its not so sweet anymore. Recently everytime i start a game, couple of minutes later my screen shows me a multi-colored mosaic and crashes on that screen. The only way to resolve this is pushing the hard off button and restarting.
I tried re-installing drivers, reloading the OS, reloading the OS on a different hard drive. No luck. Then i put my card into another computer, and that one crashed too in the same way. I put my spare card in my original machine and games work (no longer pretty though). That pretty much concludes the investigation that it is the card that is bad.
I have opened an RMA request and am currently waiting for an RMA number. I just want to know how badly I am screwed. Also has anyone had this problem before and what do you think I am going to get? A big fat bill which would be better off getting a new card, or a replacement card, or a newer refurb. Just want to know where I am headed.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Check VGA cooling system
The fan on the 280 runs without issue.
The card idles at about 40-45'C and when I game it goes to 65-70'C. It has always done this. I had run some extended temperature tests a few months ago and it was the same temperature then and now.
I also checked the power outs on the PSU. The spare PC I tested with has a 1000W PSU and a GTX 470 running right now, the 470 also ran fine in my pc. so ive ruled out the PSU.

GTX 280 SuperOC HELP!

Hi, I need help with my GTX 280 SuperOC.
I've just bought it from Ebay. After about 1 min playing game shuts my system automatically down. I try tu put the Core Clock from 700 to 650Mhz, but it does not help. Then I try Kombustor, but right after I click on the "start" button of Kombustor, my system shuts down. Afterburner always says that the temp is at 58-62C
I have read a few threads here, but it does not help. And I dont have any experience on overclocking.
My PC Specs:
Asus P5N32 SLI SE Deluxe
Intel Core2 Duo E6400
Power 550W
4Gb DDR2 RAM
Windows 7 32bit
Thank you for any answer.

12V Max. Current: 24A That is not enough, for a system with a 280 GTX you should have a PSU with +12V~40A you need a better PSU. You can not go by the watts as a good PSU will have much higher +12V amps than a cheap one with equal watt rating. Example yours +12V~24A, Corsair VX550W +12V~41A = 17 amps higher.
I recommend you get a Corsair VX550W +12V~41A or TX650W +12V~52A Keep trying to use the one you have and it could go up in fire and smoke and maybe burn other parts in your PC.

Nvidia GTX 280-A good choice for video editing?

SO for the longest time now I have been having weird playback trouble with editing. I didn't think too much about it then because I didn't care that much about quality. This was when I was rockin CS3 and my card was an 8600 GTS. Recently I got a new computer with a sweet setup. It is an intel core 2 Quad @9550 with a GTX 280, 780i SLI board, and 5 gigs of DDR 2 ram. Yet, despite this, when ever I play footage into premiere,the images becomes slightly fuzzy in playback. This would not irritate as much as when I export it, The quality is just as bad. I uploaded HD footage off of a P2 card, exported it, and when you play it; it looks interlaced! The footage also looks like is did in premiere, very fuzzy. Now that I'm starting to get into the realm of HD this crap needs to stop. Does anyone have any ideas?

The fuzziness in your preview monitor is probably because you have the preview quality set to "automatic" or "draft". If you set it to "Highest Quality" it should look very good, albeit possibly pretty harsh on your processors.
At the bottom of your preview monitor look for a tiny icon that looks like 3 circles, click that and that's where you change the preview quality setting. This does NOT in any way affect the export, by the way.
The bad quality in your exports is a different story. We'd need exact specs as to what format, codecs, bitrates etc. you are exporting to.

Upgrading MSI gt 72 with GTX 980m SLI

Hello,
I bought MSI GT72 Dominator-216(GTX 970m 6GB), can I upgrade my laptop with GTX 980m SLI. Is it possible. What is the max update I can apply on my laptop graphics.
Thank you in advance.

Quote from: Victoria's Secret on 06-May-15, 16:28:37
The vga is welded on motherboard. You had better contact service center for help .
This is horribly incorrect misinformation, the vga of the gt72 laptop is mxm modular so it can be upgraded, however this laptop is not capable of sli as the laptop is not physically designed to hold two graphics cards. The gt80 is the laptop that has the 980m/970m sli already.

S10 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 280

Hi
I just bought a S10 model 6423-45G and a Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 280. The problem is that the powersurply only comes with 2 x 6 PIN power connectors for the graficcard but this new graficcard needs 1 x 6 PIN and 1 x 8 PIN power connector. Is there any S10 models on the market with 1 x 6 PIN and 1 x 8 PIN power connectors at this point in time or is the only solution to put in some power convert to support this graficcard?

Buzzing sound coming from MSI GTX 280

Hi guys,
I purchased a new PC with a MSI GTX 280 OC and I got a buzzing sound coming from the case.
I get the buzzing sound changing frequencies with certain 3D applications (games), windows vista screensavers, windows aero... i also hear when when resize/minimize/maximize the windows.
I thought it was PSU related, as it was the gfx card pulling power, but I've tried a Corsair HX620W and a Antec TruePower 1000W and I still got the buzzing sound with both the PSU's.
It seems originating from the MSI GTX 280.
Is anyone familiar with this problem or what can be done?
Also, for some awkward reason, I can't update my videocard drivers eithers. The installer holds at 50% and just holds without progressing. (I tried the official nvidia drivers and the ones on the MSI website). Same problem when manually installing the drivers.
For what it's worth, the retail box was also quite damaged.
Do I have a faulty card?
or is a bad combination with the rest of my system?
My system:
CPU : Intel E8600 (2x 3.33 GHz)
RAM : 4 GB Corsair
GFX : MSI GTX 280 OC
MOBO : Asus P5Q-E
PSU : Corsair HX620W
OS : Vista x64 Home Premium SP1

Its a known fact that some GTX260/280, all brands, not just MSI, hum or buzz under load.
This is due to certain electrical components on the pcb.
Maybe you can RMA it, if you have a nice shop where you bought it and if your lucky the new one doesnt produce that sound, but no garantuees.
Some hardcore tweakers will open up the plastic case and put a few drops of superglue on the copper windings and that will solve it.
Its no more then reasonating copperwindings under load.

MSI 280 GTX OC HIGH temperature

I bought a MSI 280 GTX OC video card about half years ago, but now is the summer time , the video card temperature get above 90'C O_o
It really bothering me, because it will effect the performance of the game and it will also damage the video card.
Any idea for solve the temp problem?
That's my topic half year ago ( it also about overheat problem) : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120379.0
My new powersupply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703009
also I'm not sure how to upload the dxdiag file, it maybe help to find the problem.

Well, looks like I have no choose. RMA is the only option.
thx anyway.

Well, looks like I have no choose.
Else run it at stock speed{E.g Nvidia reference clocks{without the "OC"} and forget the case.}{there is no real difference in performance}

MSI P55 Fuzion + SLI GTX 280

Hello , can someone tell to me , if it's possible to built a Sli on the p55 Fuzion , and how do do this ?

All P55 based boards principially support SLI & crossfire configuration.
Appart from that, he seems to be trying to run two 280GTX cards in a dual GPU configuration via the Lucid chip which supports dual ATI+ATI, NVIDIA+NVIDIA, NVIDIA + ATI and ATI + NVIDIA configurations. It is not SLI in the strict sense but the effect will be the same. The whole point of the Lucid Solution is to be able to run almost all kinds of Dual-GPU setups:

MSI GTX 280 OCversion high temperature

eight days ago i biught this graphic card, and playing games like stalker or crysis has turned into a problem, cause after 40 minutes playing the tenmperature reaches 90º and I checked the graphic with programmes like 3Dmark06 and fur benchmark with the EVGA precision y monitorized the temps. and what is my sorprise the graphic card reached a temp. of 100º and 105º after 3 minutes playing the fur bench with the fan working at a hundred % , i took out the card and went to the shop where i bought it (alternate) and they told me that those are normal temp. that until 120 º that i dont have to worry how can this be its imposible and in summer 150º. i live in spain in Madrid and here in summer its hot.
My case is an aerocool nitron with 2 tacens ventus fan of 12 cm and an extra fan inside of aerocool with a large neck to move it through the case, my mother board y a P5K-C i have a corsair tx 650 2 hard drives seagate 1 of 250 and another of 500 and ot dvds,i tried taking of one of the sides of the case and the temps. kept the same whta should i do? nobody tells me nothing¿.
best regards.

yes i have a 12 cm tacens ventus fan flowing aire into the case, i have de standart 25cm fan that comes with teh case and flowing aire out i have another tacens ventus this one is the pro version than can take more than the one in front,i also have another airecool vent inside giving aire to the memories. and my cpu vent is an asus artic square.whta is estability issues sorry my english is not quite good.and i already notife the problem is that i need a direccion or somthing a telefone an email but here in spain.

X99S GAMING 9 AC Not booting - Debug 94 code - Issue with GTX 980 SLI in WoW

Hello, I bought the X99S GAMING 9 AC motherboard but have ran into some issues.
The computer won't boot when I put my second MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4 GB card in the last PCEI 3.0 port (PCIE port 5) and I get the debug LED message 94 on the motherboard. I have a SLI setup.
The first card I have in the second PCIE 3.0 port due to the Noctua U14S CPU fan takes up space for the first slot. So I have been running my grafic cards in PCIE slot 2 and 4 with some issues.
First the card in slot 2 gets really warm over 86 celsius. And second: SLI runs really poorly in World of Warcraft. I get a lot higher performance with just one card activated. I am not sure if it's cause I am not running my cards in the recommended PCIE 3.0 ports or because WoW has some issues with SLI, but I heard other people have no issues at all with WoW in SLI.
I got the same issue with 3Dmark firestrike, the cards perform really poor in SLI. I get higher score with SLI turned off..
Though SLI seems to run pretty well in 3dmark 11 and Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.
But the main issue right now, is that the computer won't boot with the grafic cards in PCIE port 2 and 5. The solution to run them next to each other is not good, cause it gets really hot and I get bad performance in WoW and Firestrike.
Picture of my setup before I switched places with the grafic cards as you can see, it is really tight:
Any upcoming bios updates (got v1.3) that will solve this issue on the horization? Hopefully this get sorted out really soon..
My whole computer setup:
Intel i7 5820K | MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (bios 1.3) | SLI MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4GB | Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB | WD Red 4TB | G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000MHz 4x4GB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W | Noctua NH-U14S PnP | Fractal Design Define XL R2 | 5 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans | Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

You must use the recommended PCIE slots as the manual says for your CPU type, PCIE #1 and PCIE #4 if I remember, just open the manual :P for optimal 2Way SLI, also your 5820k will limit to 28 pcie lanes only if you plan to add more vgas...the other problem is your giant CPU air cooler blocking PCIE#1, do a favor to yourself, buy a watercooler for your 5820k and your problems are gone, add some overclock in your system, low noise and better temps.
Here I use 3x980 in SLI with X99S Gaming 9 AC, going soon to WC the VGAs with EK blocks.....3way is far more temperature critical than 2way spaced one.
Cheers

MSI GeForce GTX 780 SLI question.

Hi,
I wonder if my MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming OC is compatible with the MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning LE in SLI?
Thanks!
BR, Tobias

as long as both cards are using the same GPU (GTX 780 GK110) and they both have the same amount of VRAM (EG: 3GB+3GB) then they will be able to be used in SLI as long as your PSU can power both of them!
you can use SLI even with different manufacturers cards so long as its the same spec (GPU) as the other and the VRAM frame buffers match each other as both need the same amount!
