MSI GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme Edition Turn Off LED's?

Hello all MSI users.
Strangely enough, I only heard about MSI Products since last night, and I knew straight up, I needed to get my hands on one of these outstanding products.
The only thing that is holding me back from getting this amazing MSI GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme Edition is the question of if there is posibility in the utilities or on the card itself to turning off the LED's completely?
(then of course turning them back on without damaging the GPU or the LED's.)
The reason why I ask is, I usually leave my PC on over night to do either some long Downloads, a Defrag or a Deep Virus Scan, and as my PC is technically next to my bed, I don't want to be kept up all night with it shining in my face and then having to chuck a T-Shirt over the top of my case.
Please inform me if there is any possibility of this to work without having to go to some 'Xtreme' to turn the LED's off.
Much Appreciated Guys.

not possible, when VGA is in IDLE there are less amounth of LEDs that's active.
you can place a piece of black tape over leds to "disable" them

A Few Questions About The GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC in SLI

Hi everyone!
I have a few questions if you guys don't mind answering them, first thing though to make it clear this system is not built yet but the build will start soon.
My first question is whether or not this PSU is capable of running two GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC in SLI:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139015&Tpk=AX850
+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@70A, [email protected], +5VSB@3A
My second question is whether or not the GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC will come with a SLI bridge connector long enough to accomplish a connection over this distance:
If not where can I buy a bridge capable of accomplishing this?, the reason for this distance is to keep the bottom card from pushing air onto the top one.
The above is a normal ATX form factor motherboard or to be more specific a ASRock P67 EXTREME6.

EDIT-
I'm looking at the picture right now and it looks like the bridge that comes with the motherboard is not long enough, any suggestions on where to buy one?
nope no idea, ask your reseller
Quote
I didn't mean the Watts I mean the Amps, from other threads in this board it seems that some PSU's aren't up to the task of supplying the card with enough Amps, I was wondering if that PSU could supply enough for both.
Well you can figure from the graph
With one VGA it drains total 447W, where single 580GTX need 40A-42A,
adding second the same VGA to the system drains total 719W
So 719-447=272W, 272W/12=23A, 42A+23A=65A
or simple 719/12=60A

BTW, I would also like to say I'm currently using a MSI board in my current build and I love it!

GTX 580 msi twin frozr III 1.5 GB clock question ?

Hello today i bought GTX 580 Lightning twin frozr III 1.5 gb ive got question , on msi site it says that core clock is 832 mhz and memory clock 4200 mhz while myne is working on core clock 732 and memory clock 4000 mhz? is this some bug or i can manually overclock it to these clocks?
thanx !

check the top of the card, there should be DIP switch, here is example from lighthing edition:
think your should have such too

Benefit of using Quadro FX 5800 vs. GTX 580 in CS6... Is there any?

I've been looking around and could not find a good justification to use a Quadro FX 5800 vs. GTX 580. Is there something that I am missing about the Quadro?

I have a question for you on the GTX 680, why do you and others say that the GTX680 is hamstrung by the 256-bit bus when the memory bandwidth of the GTX580 is 192.4 GB/s and the memory bandwidth of the GTX 680 is essentially the same at 192.2 GB/s. The specifications show that despite a narrower interface that have much faster memory for the 600 series (Data rate of 6 GHz versus 4 GHz) Incidently there is a serious memory clock rate mistake on the nVidia page on the GTX 680 specs. For backup I had to go to EVGA's specifications
anat_usa, go with the GTX 6xx family there is now a new GTX 670 with either 2 GB of VRAM or 4 GB of VRAM. You will be much happier in the long run.

GTX 580 3GB or GTX 680 2GB

Hello all, I have a question.
I recently built a x79 3930k sys, I bought a EVGA gtx 580 3GB for the PP MPE....EVGA has a step-up program for 90 days I can step up to a better card. I just bought the card march 3, so I still have a few months. However, I entered their que for a step-up to the gtx 680 2GB for the up in Cuda Cores... but for I have learned from some videos is Adobe After Effects will use all the VRAM (3GB for my 580) and get some sorta performance increase??? Can anyone explain to me what I would be missing
going down to 2GB from 3GB of vram .. I can also cancel my step-up and still reenter for 2 more months.. to see if EVGA offers the 4GB version by then. At that point I would reenter the step up program and upgrade to the gtx 680 4GB.... as it stands I only pay shipping (8.40) for the jump to the 680 2GB, the 4GB version might cost a bit more ($50-100) what the heck should I do... Though I am not using after effects at the moment I anticipate heavy usage.. I am not worried about applying the hack for the 680...

Difficult question to answer at this moment. It depends on a number of things. What kind of material do you edit? If it includes RED 4K or EPIC 5K, I would definitely wait for the 4 GB version, but if you don't do that regularly or only in small amounts then the 2 GB version may suffice. The GTX 680 has of course the advantage of being PCIe-3.0 which can be put to good use on your 2011 platform and supports three or four monitors, something the 580 can't do. Whether the 680 will be faster than the 580 with 3 GB remains to be seen. The number of CUDA cores has tripled, but the memory bus was reduced from 384 to 256 bits, and it is not yet clear what impact that will have on performance.
A second thing to consider is your intended AE use, which you say will be heavy in the future. Tthe fact that After Effects can use multiple GPUs for CUDA computation (for the ray-traced 3D renderer) makes using some GPU setups sensible that may have been a waste for Premiere Pro.
IMO, you currently have the following options, including the announced but not yet available 4 GB versions of the 680:
1. Stick to the 580, but add a 560 Ti for AE and steering a third monitor.
2. Step up to the 680 2 GB for steering a third monitor, but with the risk of running out of VRAM with RED or EPIC material and thus the reduction to software mode only.
3. Step up to the 680 4 GB for steering a third monitor without the risk of software mode fallback.
4. Take a gamble that the 685/690 with a 384 bit memory bus may be announced in the near future (not likely).
The problem is that TSMC, the supplier of the nVidia 28 nm chips has serious difficulty meeting demands for these chips. See http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120405PD218.html

is that still the latest bios for a MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC ?
The GF110.rom ?

I asked before in this thread -> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=159374.0
Its the same card im using so i didnt see a reason to open a new thread and i didnt want to create more clutter for a small question.

Hi Guys,
My GTX 580 is running very hot and then starts stuttering - I even loaded the latest Afterburner but it still happens.
I see there is a new bios update. How do I update to the new bios? I downloaded the NV801MS.KH1 file, but now what?
Please help.
Thanks!

Yes it is, do you have a good ventilation and enough and proper airflow inside your PC case?
Have you tried to open the side door of the PC case?
Is your FAN on the VGA is at Auto?
Can you make a photo of your card?

GTX 580 OC Help Needed (N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC) | SPLIT [Twin Frozr II OC]

Hello Svet !
One month ago, I bought two N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC. One was OK, the other one had stock frequencies. Made an exchange. The third card was the same : stock frequencies, and unstable with correct OC BIOS, even with adjusting the voltage.
So, i returned the two M2D15D5/OC and got two N580GTX Twin Frozr II OC. Frequencies are OK now (core clock @822,shader clock @1645, memory clock @2138), but one card is crashing my computer when I play (I'm in SLI). But everything is OK in OCCT for example.
So I decided to check the voltages with AfterBurner.
One card is at 1,025V and the other one, the faulty one is at 1,000V.
So I tested with AfterBurner to put it at 1,025, and now, everything looks stable.
Could it be possible to have a new BIOS with the correct voltage? Because I've been following this thread since the beginning, and I understood that it can be corrected with BIOS update (by the way, I compared the 2 backuped BIOS of my cards, and they are the same... that's what I don't understand... is voltage really written in BIOS ?)
So here it is a summary of my needs :
   core voltage @ 1025
   core clock @822
   shader clock @1645
   memory clock @2138
Here are the serial numbers :
N580GTX Twin Frozr II OC
   602-V255-01SB1101009125
   602-V255-01SB1101009181

Hi Svet !
How are you since last time ?
I've got a question regarding the new BIOS (NV255MS.104 found on the download page of the product) for the GTX 580 Twin Frozr II OC I own.
Let me explain :
Few weeks ago, you helped me by providing me a new BIOS with new voltage (1025 mv instead of 1000). Since then, everything is working fine. I can play hours without problem :D Thank you !
My question is, if I update my card with this new BIOS 1.04, will I loose the 1025 mv voltage ?
What does this new BIOS bring exactly ?
Again, thank you for help here
Have a nice day Svet !

No, 1025mV will be kept.

MSI is following my steps, it will do the same as your current installed VBIOS vcore boost from 1V to 1025mV.
If you flash the newest MSI's VBIOS it will bring you nothing more than your current custom one,
but opposite you will lost extra performance.
Check and compare reports: [look especially for last 3 lines with performance calculations]

Nvidia Gtx 650 ti boost vs Nvidia Gtx 580

Hi everybody,
I have an hard question about nvidia gtx video cards.
The nvidia gtx 650 ti boost is adeguate for editing video in fullHD with Premiere Pro Cs6 ?
I have chosen this video card because the price is very interesting: "only" 150 € (more or less)
Another question: is it adeguate for sporadically editing whit After Effects Cs6 ?
I have compared the gtx 650 ti boost with the gtx 580. The second is more more powerful, but the price is 450 € (more or less). I have found the gtx 580 used at 200 €.
Question: Which is the better choice? gtx 650 ti boost new or gtx 580 used (and maybe overclocked)?
Thanks.
Reference:
gtx 650 ti boost http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-650ti-boost/specifications
gtx 580 http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-580/specifications

Software components? I use only Premiere and After Effects.
I'm sorry, I expressed myself badly.
It is clear that the 580 is faster than the 650 but my question is: the 650 is powerful enough? I don't pay 200 Euro for a "insufficient" video card.
The second question is if the used grafic card is a good choice.
Thank you so much.
PS: the configuration of the system is:
Intel i7 920 (8M, 2.66 -> 2.93 Ghz)
RAM 12 GB triple channel @ 1066 Mhz
Motherboard: Asus p6t

MSI GTX 580 Lightning + Asrock Z68 Pro 3 Issue

Hi!
I just bought a new computer with gtx 580 lightning and asrock z68 pro 3 motherboard. I am having issues with the pci-e slot and the graphics card. My motherboard doesnt recognize the card. I have updated my MB bios to newest one but it didn't help. I also tried the lightning in my old gaming rig and it worked fine there. Also tried my old graphics card in my new rig and worked just fine. Power wise I should be fine because my old rig has 600w power supply and it worked, new rig has 50 wats more and is more quality PSU.
Also the red and green leds on the gtx 580 lightning are on and fans are spinning but when I try to attach the monitor it just doesnt give anything out.
I am really running out of options here and dunno what to do. I have the intel i5 2500k processor so I can use the onboard graphics to prowse the web. Also managed to install win7 64bit and MB drivers.
Anyone having this same issue ? Or any solutions to my problem? Would be nice to get my rig up and running fully.
Thanks!

AsRock already tested the combination and it works:
http://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/45683-asrock-z68-pro-3-msi-gtx-580-lightning-issue.html
Maybe the motherboard has broken PCI-e slots, as Asrock suggested, goto a dealer and check it out with them.
The combination is not a problem, but if a PCI-e slot is broken it can explain all of this.
As the card works in other systems, it's hardly possible it's the card, else it would fail too.
And yes, because an ATI card works it doesn't mean the PCI-e slot is good, have seen such before.
He replaced the board with new one Asus P8P67 Pro and still doesn't works on-board led shows VGA init error.
So 2 different brand new boards with broken slots is very unlikely. [both of them worked fine with different video cards]
The MSI's GTX 580 Lightning worked fine in meantime with the same PSU [he also tested with different one and it works fine with both PSU's on 3th board] on 3th different mainboard.
It's some kind of compatibility issue [based on all facts]

They test it but not with the same card Lightning card, they used reference card instead [MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5].
The VBIOS structure of the non reference design used on Lightning cards are very different compared to regular versions,
as well the card itself compared to reference one.

GTX 580 AfterBurner OC

Hi guys ! I want to know if i can flash my GC's for having more than 1.150 mV unlock and if i can increase my speed fan to REAL 100% !
Name: MSI N580GTX-MD2D15D5/OC (GeForce GTX 580 1,5 Go)
S/N 1 : 912-V801-1071B1012020643
S/N 2 : 912-V801-1071B1012020644
I want go over 1.150 mV because i would like to water my cg's and if i can pass out 1.150 mV i will get better performance because it can accord to me to increase more my frequencies.
I've tried to Flash with others bios card like EVGA and ASUS and it's work on one and on the second but after reboot in windows just one be detected without problem, i have tried all PCI-Express configuration, many times reinstall drivers with secure procedure but nothings working so i ask my question here !
And Can i buy somewhere Twin Frozor System for my GC's and mount it on them ?
Thanks a lot !

Maybe but it's possible ?
And do you have the bios to overvoltage and make me allowed to increase the fan at 100% ?

Gtx 580 twin frozr OC SLI Temps query

Hi all,
I have 2 x gtx 580 twin frozr OC 800/1600 version cards running in SLI with 270.51 drivers, idle for GPU1 37-43, idle for GPU2 is 34-40, i have an Antec 1200 case which provides good cooling and also using a side door fan to blow cool air in too, i have raised my voltage in afterburner to 1050 and everthing seems stable
my question is that with vsynch on i get GPU1 max about 75-78 degrees which seems fine as i know and accept that GPU1 in SLI will run hotter (my cards are close togeather on x58 sabertooth) and GPU2 is in the 60`s
but when i switch vsynch off my GPU1 hits high 80`s and up to 93, i have noticed in BFBC2, why is vsynch having such an effect on GPU1? temps, just seems strange that vsynch has such an effect on GPU1 considering i have very average idle temps etc
if my cards are stable is it worth updating the bios? will this help the temps
cheers
gamon

No, it should blow fresh air for the graphics' and processor fans to consume and then pass on to a very good exhaust fan, that removes it. - Somewhat like a car engine works. With a side-door fan you normally don't need intake fans, but start by reducing their speed, before removing them.
Plenty of space, 50 - 100 cm, around the case?
