GTX 560Ti Hawk high temperature and noise

First of all I want to say "Hi" because this is my first post here!
Second, I have problems with my GTX 560Ti Hawk! The problems are high temperature and very loud fans! I bought this card less than a month ago and it didn't work properly from the first day but I wanted to give it a chance so I kept it for a while so I could monitor symptoms. I haven't even tried to OC it. I monitored it the way it came from the box.
In idle card doesn't go over 40°C which is fine by me considering the weather but when I play games it goes all the way to 85°C and it's loud as jet taking off! It's is pretty much intolerable to be near this card when playing games! This product is advertised to be very cold and very silent but now that isn't the case. What bothers me most is that the card was running on open bench table which has very good air cooling ( I made it myself and decreased ~10°C compared to my case). That means that my Hawk would have burned if tested inside the case, or it would fly away!! :D
Everything is good until card hits 76°C - that's tolerable temperature and the card is still silent, but when it hits 76°C and goes up, all hell breaks loose!
Card doesn't crash and it runs perfectly (got performance increase ~30% from my GTX 460) but way higher temperatures and noise above advertised makes me wanting to crash it with a sledgehammer! :D
I RMA it today and waiting for answer which should arrive in two weeks tops (quick when taking money but very slow when support is needed)
I wanted to ask if RMA is even possible when card isn't crashing??? I RMA cards with similar problems before with no problems but that was Gigabyte - not sure what can I expect with MSI because this is my first MSI product since 2003. RMA should be possible because card has failed to fulfill expectations which are guarantied by MSI...
If they refuse to send another card or return the money, what should I do???
Computer specs:
AMD Phenom 2 X4 955BE
Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4
2x2 GB DDR3 Mushkin Blackline Stiletto
MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk (previously owned Gigabyte GTX 460 768MB which never went above 65°C even highly OC-ed)
Seasonic 620-GM
Patriot Pyro 60GB and WD 640GB Green

Msi gtx 560ti hawk running always max clocks

Hello.
My msi gtx 560ti hawk running always max clocks.
OC core clock up to 1000MHz gives similar results.
OC core clock past 1000MHz will stuck it at 1000MHz. Example i set core clock to 1040MHz and run 3DMark11,but
during the test it never exceeds 1000MHz.
Card is 15 months old and worked normally so far.
My OC results before was
core clock 1000MHz Core Voltage 1.075V
core clock 1040MHz Core Voltage 1.088V
core clock 1100MHz Core Voltage 1.100V max temps ~78C
I never raised core clock over 1100 and memory clock over 2275.
Things i'm done so far
used 310.90 310.70 306.97 306.23 301.42 drivers
disabled antivirus
mounted card out of the case and switched vbios in silence mode
used Afterburner 2.2.3 Evga Precision X
reinstalled windows7
reverted cpu to stock clocks
Any advice?
System
MB: msi z68-gd65 (B3) bios V22.8
cpu: i5-2500K
gpu: msi gtx 560ti hawk
psu: corsair TX750V2 (62 amp 12 rail)

os: Windows7 SP1

No! Nvidia controlpanel was set to max perfomans and windows power options to high perfomance.
I changed nvidia to adaptive (windows stayed high perf) and now the clocks to come down again.
Thanks Svet!
There is still a OC problem when i set core clock over 1000MHz.
I just ran 3dmark11 at following overclock core 1040MHz
shader 2080MHz
memory 2100
core voltage 1.075+0.013
In results window the 3dmark11 says core clock 1040.
Afterburner 2.3.1 monitoring window says max core clock 1000
shader 2000
memory 2099
Although i´m not seeing shader adjusting bar in 2.3.1, there are only core clock adjusting bar.
But adjusting a core clock will adjust shader x2. Am i right?

MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk Temps & Cooling

Good Day ...
I have had my pc for around a month now and have noticed that while folding and gaming ... I am hitting between 75 and 87 degrees with the fan profile never going lower than 80% ...
My question is ...
Are these temps still in a safe range and if I change cooling will it void warranty ?? ... (looking at the Arctic Extreme 2)
Also ... What is that little switch and 3 pin connector on the top of the card ...
My Rig.
Asus P8P67 Evo
i5 2500K @ 4.8Ghz on air ... (stable)
Thermalright Silver Arrow (CM Fusion400)
8gb Corsair Vengeance
GTX 560Ti Hawk
Corsair T650W V2
All information would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards.

Temps listed are in safe range, if you change the cooling yes this will void the warranty.
You can try to reapply GPU's thermal paste and to retest, also ensure that you have enough room inside PC case along with good and enough airflow.

It is switching between 2 different vBIOSes, one is performance one and other is silent one.
It's related to FAN behavior

MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk SLI not available

I have 2 MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk and when I go into Nvidia control panel SLI is not available as an option.
Both cards are visible and working properly in both the Device manager and the Nvidia control panel and the bridge is installed between the cards.
I am using Nvidia driver 285.62 which I have completely removed and reinstalled to try and solve the problem.
The only strange thing I noticed when installing the cards is that there is a small switch next to the SLI bridge that is marked Performance and Silent. When I opened the boxes one card had the switch was set to performance and the other was set to silent. Looking on the net I found that this was how aggressive the fan control was so I set them both to silent. After running into the problem of no SLI I also tried shutting down the machine and moving both switches to Performance but this didn't fix the issue.
Motherboard is a MSI Z68A-GD65 and Live update 5 says its up to date.
Any pointer on where to look would be appreciated.

K problem sort of solved. I installed an old nvidia driver 270.61 and it works perfectly. Guess I'll just use the old drive until a game is giving me major issues and then see if a new drive is safe.

GTX 560Ti Hawk Getting REALLY Hot - Faulty?

Hey,
Around a year ago I got the GTX 560Ti HAWK. What with its super special TFIII HAWK cooling, I would have expected it to stay - well - COOL. Especially under load. The fans are incredibly loud, but I don't mind as long as they're keeping my card cool, right?
Review websites state around 63 - 65 degrees when load.
I slapped on a game on GTA, even with my 60FPS limiter it ran at around 50FPS anyway, and the card rocketed to 82 degrees. 82 degrees for a supposedly super cool super special non reference card? Although this specific game was today, it's always been happening and only now have I realised there's an official MSI forum.
Is it faulty? I read somewhere that MSI may have applied thermal paste poorly to some HAWK cards. What do I do?

My case got hot and started to smell, it's really scary when it gets hot. Again I reference the review temps which promised much better.
I have an MSI Z77A GD65 mobo, I don't know anything about a performance or silent setting besides the fact I OC genie'd my 3770K to 4.2Ghz....??

Gforce gtx 560 ti ... too high Temperature and crush

hi there
my post is similar at "MSI GTX 560 Ti HAWK Memory Temperature too high???"
but my graphic card is gforce gtx 560 ti _ 2gb gddr5 (i can't post external link to let you see wich one exactly)
when i play to one game my card's Temperature go over 100°c and my screen become black :(
... i'm suree that my card don't reach that temperature and i changed the base fan with an accelero xtreme plus II, but nothing to do with my problem.
so i'm there to ask an help
(sorry for my poor english)
Thanks in advance for your time!

i think, there is a problem with temperature sensor
or it is broken or ... idon't know .....
the temperature stay costant on about 78-80°C
and have istant spike when i play on a game.....
i saw it with speedfan and with MSI Afterburner.

MSI 560Ti HAWK GPU Temperatures Diablo 3

Hello,
I have a 560Ti HAWK GPU running stable at MSI factory settings with -75 core voltage from MSI Afterburner. I am running Win 7x64 with all updates to date. The video driver installed is the WHQL 310.70 from geforce.com. I have a quad core [email protected] GHZ and 4GB DDR2@800MHZ. The motherboard is an Asus Maximus II Formula. The BIOS of the GPU is 70.24.21.00.00 (P1040-0050). I recently flashed the bios with one sent to me by an admin on the site because it had the high memory issue. Flashing the BIOS only affected the memory temperature issue, the GPU temperature remained the same as before flashing.
The GPU gets very hot while playing Diablo 3. Monitoring the temperatures with GPUZ and MSI Afterburner it shows about 89 Celsius with a max of 92. The case is very well ventilated and in other games it does not get over 75. I run Diablo at 1680x1050 with everything on high, AA on, Vsync on, Max Foreground FPS 60.
To test the temperature and the sensors i ran MSI Kombustor for 45 minutes, with OpenGL 3, PostFX on, 8xMSAA, 1680x1050 fullscreen, and the max temperature was 85 Celsius. The heat coming out of the card felt pretty much the same from when playing Diablo so I can conclude that the sensors are working as they should.
I tried performing a clean install of the drivers and also uninstalling the game. Also I changed the TIM on the GPU about a week ago, it now has Coolink Chilaramic, but the temperature in Diablo didn't improve. Even after changing the TIM the temperature remained the same for other games.
What else can I do to lower the temps in Diablo 3, is the game more GPU intensive than MSI Kombustor?
Thanks

Yes its possible
what PC case you use? do you have enough space inside and proper airflow?
have you tried tried MSI VGA drivers for the card?
I have an Antec P182 with 2x120mm intake and 2x120mm exhaust fan with decent cable arrangement. I tried the latest MSI drivers for my GPU, 306.97 but the temps are the same in Diablo.

GTX560Ti Hawk high temperature

Hello there. I'm writing to you with an issue. Recently I bought GTX560Ti Hawk with Twin Frozr III and my problem is that it goes up to really high temperatures. Usually when I play Battlefield 3 it goes up to 85*C, same when testing with Furmark. I "declocked" it using MSI AFTERBURNER to 900/1800 and temperature went down to 70*C-80*C but it's still way too hot. I have really spacious case with 2 side 140mm fans and 2 rear and back 120mm fans, all the cables are hidden so the temperature flow's ok.
My system specs are:
Intel i7 2600K 3.40GHz,
ASRock P67 Pro3,
RAM: 8GB 1600MHz HyperX,
OCZ 750W (OCZ-ZS750W-EU/UK),
case AEROCOOL PGS RS-9 DEVIL RED.
Should I use warranty? Are these normal tememperatures? My previous card was like 50*C-60*C, sometimes MAX 65*C.
Regards.
Paul.
@EDIT: Oh! I forgot! I'm using Windows 7 64bit.

I advice you to return the card for replacement.
Twin Frozr III should be more cooler than the reference design. Even MSI claims it. Check the review site for this card. I'm sure it is way more cooler.
I have two 560TI TFII. When I play BF3 one the temps are only max 70C. The other is rampaging to 80-90C when playing BF3. So I returned the other one for replacement.
Check the your GPU Heatsink if it very very hot when the temps hit 80-90C. If it is cooler or just bit warm then it must just bit loose contact between gpu and heatsink.
If it's freaking very very hot then there must be something wrong on the card itself...

issues
since building this system I have had a collection of issues mostly based around battlefield 3:
1) when playing battlefield 3 there are a lot of black triangles normally between players and objects, objects and objects etc. This was briefly fixed with a beta driver update from nvidia but started again a few days later.
2) similar to above but the triangles / shapes are the colors of textures. same as above with driver.
3) sometimes battlefield will 'minimize' but you are unable to switch back to the game, from here the game has basically crashed and you have to end the task.
other issues outside of battlefield are:
4) When playing A-10 warthog the textures go all rainbow colors. (this also happens in battlefield but not as common)
5) when watching youtube, the graphics card has artifacted and crashed.
my testing:
I ran some tests using msi afterburner to measure temperatures and furmark to stress it. It seems that once the card reaches 80 degrees Celsius it starts to artefact, I then lowered the clock on the core and shaders and it still happened. upon lowering the memory clocks it stopped artefacting. and as long as the card is kept under 80 degrees it seems to not crash and a all of my problems (so far) are gone.
I believe that this should not be acceptable, I paid for a factory overclocked card to save the hassle of overclocking it myself, but have had nothing but problems. Could a bios update on the graphics card fix these issues or should the card be RMA'd straight off the bat?
Cheers, Dave.

Hey Svet, Sadly we don't have access to another computer to test on, I'm going to pop down to our local pc store tomorrow to ask if they can test it for us.
I've been doing a little more testing with furmark and afterburner - I reseated the card today and cleaned up some cabling, tomorrow I'm going to look at increasing the case airflow as we currently have one intake and one exhaust fan in the case.
after reseating and cleaning the case up a bit the card doesn't reach 80degrees while playing games or running furmark - it does still get to about 75-78. after some more testing and playing around (Forcing it to go above 80 by turning the fan down still causes the card to have issues.)
I've read about these cards going to 100 degrees with no issues, should I be RMAing this card or work on keeping it cool and find another computer to test it in?

GTX 760 HAWK high-pitching sound?

Hello!
I have recently bought a MSI GTX 760 HAWK.
But there is an issue:
When the GPU is loaded at 0%, it makes a loud high-pitching sound.
When loaded not. I checked it with multiple programs sucbh as MSI Afterburner
Is this normal? I mean my old GPU did that too but then when it's heavily loaded.
The package(of the GPU) reads: "Minimal power supply: 500w(based on Intel i7)".
I have a 450w supply with an i5 CPU.
I calculated if the GPU is compatiable (without OC) and it is compatiable - just(I think +30-50 watts and it would'nt anymore) - .

I highly suggest replacing this psu as it is insufficient for your setup. A system with a reference design GTX760 already requires 30A on +12v and a 500W PSU minimum. Your split rail 450W psu (http://store.antec.com/Product/power_supply-earthwatts/EA-450-PLATINUM/0-761345-27450-0%20%20.aspx) just barely offers 30A (405W) in total across two +12 rails maximum. Hence even for a reference design GTX760 your psu is on the absolute limit and on the edge of shutdown (or death in longterm use). BUT your GTX760 is not a reference design card, it is a Hawk. Instead of the reference 980MHz Core (Boost Clock:1033MHz) it clocks 1111MHz Core (Boost Clock:1176MHz) or higher and therefor needs up to 4A more on +12v. Consider the sound of your psu as a cry for mercy.

Iphone 3Gs high temperature and low batterie performance

Hello,
This is my first question here, so I'm sorry if I doing something wrong.
About a week ago my iPhone 3Gs is demonstrating very high temperature, at any location (inside my pocket, over my desk e etc...) and situation (it happens even in airplane mode), not enough to a overheat warning dough. And his battery dies in about 1 hour, no matter what I do. I've done a recovery and its came back to normal for 2 days, but after that the heat and battery problem has returned.
Could any body help me?

... I would just run the phone for a couple days without any apps, music, vids, just to make sure it still is working ok...
Recommended!
Hot phone and battery drain, cause of both together, is some hardware defect as a micro short-circuit (the phone dropped in water, as example) or an app who have a bug who let it eat all the energy (keep on localization services, as example).
Let the phone hard reboot, too, to remove any crazy process left in.
If you still have the issue with nothing running on (please make sure really nothing is on, neither background apps or itunes songs or anything else), most likely is hardware defect and you need service, as pointed above.

Superb temp/noise control by undervolting the Gtx 560ti Hawk!

I bought Msi N560GTX Ti Hawk a week ago..was initially disappointed with the noise the card would produce with heavy gaming.. any fan speed above 50 % would become intrusively noisy...the default core voltage on my card is 1.0500v (1050 mv)...I undervolted the card to 1.000 v (1000 mv)...Now my temps never rise above 71 C and fan speed remains at or below 50 %...card still operating at 950 Mhz core and 1900 Mhz shaders..system is rock stable and LOT less noisy...what do u guys have to say about it?..Are there any deletrious effects of undervolting the card? is 1.000 volt adequate for such high a clock as 950 Mhz on the core?

If the card is stable with a given voltage, even though it might appear to be lower than usual, then you're usually alright.

MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk Question

Just a quick question to start with, how many RPMs should my fans be doing at 100%?
I have a feeling something is going horribly wrong with my new card.

Use MSI Afterburner to adjust the fan speed - you can draw a graph and dictate how much the fan should be working against a given temp.
Is the MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk the most problematic card.....i mean EVERYONE complains about fan noise and temps. If i had read the forums first before buying the card....i wouldn't have bought it.

Satellite A300 - High temperatures and overheating

Hey there
I own Toshiba Satellite A300 for one year.Lately I have noticed overheating.
In the idle the lowest temperature I have measured using HW Monitor was 60C for CPU, 50C for GPU, 42C for HDD. When I have more applications opened it rises to 83C for CPU and 62C for GPU, during witch system performance is pretty slow. Bottom part of housing is quite hot even keyboard is hot and it's quite uncomfortable.
Any idea where could be a problem? Should I put it into service? Thanks for reponses.
Andrew

Hi
You should not send it to an authorized service provider you should clean your notebook from time to time!!!
I recommended compressed air spray. Blow gently and shortly the air trough the holes of the case of the machine where the air flows trough. This could remove the dust from the cooling ventilators.
This procedure should be performed every 3-4 months to ensure a proper operation and avoid system errors.
I always used compressed air spray and I never had problems as yet.
Bye
