GTX 580 (SLI) not stable?

My system: nl.hardware.info/usersystemen/8733/sandy-bridge-gamesysteem
I bought them (the cards) a liltle over 3 years ago 2nd hand (basicly brand new from a OC guy upgrading). I had some problems getting them stable but the last 3 years it went smoothly.
Now I replaced my motherboard last week (and added a SSD and some more HD and ram at the same time) and I have the same problem again. Which I think is due to the reset of settings of the cards.
So far it only happened during games (SC2, PvZ Garden Warefare and Dota 2). The pc locks up basicly and I get a black screen, as in the monitor goes off and then blinks like a off monitor does, the fan goes up and I have to reset the pc. Then in windows I get a blue screen error box.
I already did memtest which ran 3,5 times without errors. Turned off SLI and still crashed 1-2 times.
I also have 3DMark where sometimes it goes through and sometimes well not.
Using MSI Afterburner to try to find some stable settings but I can't seem to get it working (again). I'm no expert by any means so I could use some help/suggestions. I have heard that the MSI cards have to low voltage standard out of the box. I tried upping that but even with standard GTX settings (not this standard OC) I cant get it stable.
My windows and drivers (Nvid 337.88) are all new and should be working fine. Guess I should have RMA'ed them the first time but somehow they got stable and the last 3 years I've had no problems. Not sure how MSI handles situtions like this where even after a long time they show leniency and offer some kind of trade in or upgrade like some companies (not just GPU card ones).
Anything I need to provide (can't add dxdiag?) or test or settings to doublecheck/update or tips on how to best get them stable again?

Might be that the new motherboard doesn't support old vBIOS of the GPUs.
Please add their Serial Numbers (both) but also make backup of BOTH vBIOSes and upload them to some free file hosting service and give us a link to the file.

Also how old is the power supply? Haswell requires newer PSU
Bought my pc in januari 2011 I think but it is a seasonic 850W which should be good for some years more.

And HOW did you get 2500K in Z97??
Missclick on site, 1 higher in the list Z77.
Remove any CPU OC and use only system HDD/SSD.
May try this tomorrow, sleep soon and working saturdaymorning...

X58 Pro-E w/ GTX 580 SLI

I am trying to figure out on the X58 Pro-E which of the three main PCIe slots are the two x16 ones...
On every site I look at it says something different. Some says it's x16/x16/x4 others say x16/x8/x16 and another site says x16/x16/x8. I have already been searching like crazy online and I am trying to SLI my GTX 580s and I do not want to put my second card in the x4 slot or x8. Thanks for any help you can give

Glad you found it. I was just about to suggest you download the full user manual here. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro-E.html#/?div=Manual

Z77A-GD65 + GTX 275 SLI not working?

So I bought myself a new system yesterday, the MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard with an i7 3770k processor. Everything installed fine, and the system is up and running. The only thing I cannot get working for the life of me is the SLI on two exact brand GTX 275 cards. The old motherboard I had before was a xfx 780i, and the SLI worked flawlessly on it.
The bios version I am running right now is the B5 bios (which I believe is the latest version).
Some of the things I did were, uninstalled the LAN drivers, then installing the nvidia drivers, updated the LAN drivers to the newest version, uninstalled Realtek's HD AUDIO driver, then trying the nvidia install, installed nvidia's beta drivers (301.24), turned on PCIE GEN3, and reinstalling the drivers using a clean install.
Does anyone have any advice on this? I am all out of options on my end. I even changed the SLI cable positioning on the graphics card by placing it closest to the back of the computer, then putting it on the next connectors going to the front of the case.
The only options I see in the nvidia control panel is the physx option, and I can either choose geforce gtx 275 or CPU... So I am wondering if maybe the integrated video is interfering with it? but I don't know how to disable it, or if you even can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Check the mainboard settings in the BIOS.
Go to Advanced settings.
Enter the Integrated Graphics Configuration.
Disable Virtu technology and select your discrete card as the initial GPU under Initate Graphic Aadapter.
Check that IGD multi monitor is disabled.
This is taken from my Z68, but I imagine your BIOS being pretty similar.
Give that a try and see if it helps.
I do have that all disabled with no go... I don't think I ever enabled it.

The problem may be with the enabling of PCI-E 3.0. The VGA's you have are 2.0.
I enabled PCI-E 3.0 as a last resort because when the GEN3 option was off, it wasn't working, so I turned it on to see if that would fix it, but that was a no go too...

Desperately need help finding MSI GTX 580 lightning.

I ordered components for the new PC I'm building last week, and parts have arrived in the mail periodically. For my graphics cards, I ordered two MSI GTX 580 Lightning (not Xtreme) cards, both from Amazon. I intended to use them in SLI, for gaming as high resolution (please do not tell me they're overkill, I already know they are. I'm a bit tired of people pointing that out). The first one is scheduled to arrive soon, but the second card was cancelled without reason a day after I placed the order. I then tried to order the second card from AVA Direct, but that order was also abruptly cancelled. I've looked on Newegg, Amazon, and a dozen or so other sites, but can't find another available GTX 580 Lightning. I don't know why they're suddenly not available... I would be really, really grateful if anyone would help me find another MSI GTX 580 Lightning card to use in my dream rig. I live in the US. What I'm trying to do here is find someone who knows a site that has an available card that I can complete my build with. So... Help find a graphics card for a devoted enthusiast?

It seems that amazon doesn't have the product anymore after searching for 'gtx 580 lightning' and 'msi gtx 580'. Try creating a support ticket to ask msi if the product is just plain discontinued, as I don't see anyone with it in stock.
And actually, I did manage to find this place: http://www.colamco.com/store/stat/product/1071363.html
But the price for the card there is over $600.

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.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157231

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

MSI APS + GTX 580 Lightening xtreme SLI

I've got two GTX 580's LX in SLI. I got a EVGA GTX460 from a friend for dedicated phys-x.
My issues are:
1) When i put the 460 in my system the APS software doesn't work. Is it because it detects a non msi card? shouldn't it work regardless because i also have 580 LX?
2) trying to fix the issue, i noticed that even when i didn't have the 460 in my system and i enabled and applied APS software, the lights on the cards don't change (turn off) according to what the software shows. Does the APS not work when cards are in SLI?
Thanks for any help

contact msi here: http://support.msi.com/ and have a ask them

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?

2 GTX 580 TWIN F 2 OC SLI too hot?

Hello..after 3 months I am here again...My 2 gtx 580 twin frozr 2 OC ed runs too hot with crysis 2 or better the first one runs too hot! After 1 hour game the 1st one is above 80° and the 2nd one 70°.. they have both the standard setting 800 MHz Core 4096MHz Memory 1000mv.
I have a 4ghz i7 980x with H70 cooler , latest nvidia drivers 270, and half x case.

Quote
83 is normal for msi twin frozr 2
I think you answered your own question in your first post
Quote
After 1 hour game the 1st one is above 80° and the 2nd one 70°..
Those temps are not excessive !
If you tested your cards individually, only one card in the case, you will find that the temps are lower. In SLI one card is normally hotter than the other for obvious reasons.
Secondly, if your H70 is installed as per Corsair's recommendation, then the hot air accumalated from the radiator is dumped inside your case, adding to the overall temp inside. (The design is not ideal in my opinion) Ideally you have 1 or 2 fans at the top of the case extracting the warm air when using a H50 or H70 in standard installation mode, especially when having 2 GTX580s under full load inside.
Do you have a side panel fan pushing air onto the GPU cards ?

K7 GTX receive ok but not stable (pattern sensitive)

Hi,
I made a sensor with 8b10b TX fit Xilinx K7 GTX,
The data transfer is ok now, but not stable,
some special code (pattern) have higher error possibility.
Is there any part can be tuned to decrease the error rate?
or any document can be refer to? Thanks !!

Dear Austin,
Thanks for the reply,
I use same speed, cable, connnectors, and protocol, for both my TX IC & Xilinx K7 TX,
Xilinx K7 is ok, signal swing 800mV diff p-p, my TX IC can only 400mV diff p-p, (in spec)
my TX IC eye diagram jitter is larger than K7, but should be in spec (0.35UI, if I understand correctly).
improve my TX refernce clock source quality, TXPLL loop bandwidth, and K7 GTX RXEQ (from DFE-->LPM) can help,
but still has annoying specific symbol error,
the AC couple cap is 0.1uF, for 1.25Gbps & 2.5Gbps 8b10b,
Is there any spec for comma usage ? comma-to-comma maximum spacing or better comma type ?
since DFE-->LPM RXEQ improve a lot, how can I tune RXEQ parameters ?
Thanks and Best Regards,

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II overheating / not cooling

So I've had this Twin Frozr II GTX 580 card for well over a year now and recently it has started to fail alot.
It hits temperatures over 100 °C and ends with a black screen and a forced reboot.
I've blown out all the dust in my PC (monthly routine) and that didn't fix it. Neither did a driver update or BIOS update/flash.
While watching MSI Afterburner I noticed that the card isn't really cooling down during games but once I hit alt-tab and get into windows, the fans really do their job and cool down the card as it should be cooled.
Even while I set the fan speed to 85% manually with afterburner, it doesn't really go to it's full 4k RPM untill after I alt-tab. It usually hovers around 2300 RPM (or a lot less) while I'm playing the game.
Also, it's idle temperature is 43°C, which is kind off high I think.
Offcourse, having to alt tab for 5 minutes after each 10-15 minutes of gameplay is quite ridiculous, not to mention annoying in MMO's.
Anyone encountered the same issue and would know how to fix it? Not sure if I will re-do the thermal paste since that might void my warranty (if it still is under warranty, which I'm not sure off)...

I think what he is saying,
is that his fan speed doesnt ramp up during game play, maxing at or around 85% until he tabs out then it'll hit 100% to cool it off.
That's a bit odd, and I can only suggest manually setting the gpu via afterburner to 100% before gameing.
Unless I read that all wrong..

You have two graphic cards with different amounts of Video RAM. The lightning has 1.5 gb and the Xtreme has 3 gb of Video RAM. You can only SLI cards with the same memory sizes.

Just Cause 2 nvidia driver crash MSI GTX 580 OC SLI (video)

I found a bug that crashes the nvidia drivers when running the factory overclocked msi gtx 580's in SLI. I downclocked them to reference 772,1544,2004 and found the game runs perfectly for long periods without crashing.

Quote from: pacnow on 17-February-11, 07:23:31
I tested the first card I purchased the non stickered one, and running at factory overclock it crashed the driver about 20 minutes of gameplay.
What I did differently this time was I removed the Stickered card from the PCIE slot.
Wow amazing I didn't think it could be a single cards fault. I'll continue testing the stickered one too. What I did find strange was this non stickered card core values show 822 in MSI Afterburner and 823 in GPUZ.
What you mean by "stickered" and "non stickered" card?

that's suppose to be.
When you locate which one of your card is crashing.
Use/install this[latest] AB version 2.1.7:
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/downloads/MSIAfterburnerSetup210Beta7.zip
then go to settings, and unlock voltage monitor and voltage control.
then restart the AB, and click on reset
then see and tell what's the vcore shown for it

SLI Gtx 580 issue

Hi everyone,
As the title says, I have 2 GTX 580 in SLI, both are MSI twin frozr II.
I bought the first 580 in april, it worked perfectly so I took the other one in (OC Edition) last month (mostly for BF3 :D)
Everything seem to work fine, at least almost.
Sometimes, I get BSoD, in game, but also when I'm on the web or starting the computer.
I tried to "invert" the cards, and I've found that the problem was coming from the 2nd GTX 580.
When pluggin the screen on it (2nd GTX 580), I've had things appearing. I couln't take a photo, but I've found one that has the same things:
I tried to uninstall completely the Nvidia driver, reinstall the WHQL version, the Beta version, but this problem still happens.
Do you have any idea how to fix this problem?
Or does that mean that the 2nd GTX 580 is "defective"?
Since the problem isn't happening all the time, can I still send the card back to where I bought it for a "replacement"? (if defective), I feel like they'll find no problem with it, and send it back :/
My computer specs:
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65
CPU: Intel core i5 2500k, cooler: Hyper 212+ (But ot OC for the moment)
Power Supply: Cooler master Silent Pro 1000W
Hard Drive: SSD OCZ vertex 3 120gb + 1 To Caviar Black
RAM: 4 x 2 Go G.Skill Kit Extreme3 PC10600 Ripjaws X CAS8
Case: HAF 912

Actually, I did that yesterday, that's another thing I've completely forgotten to tell :S sorry.
Well, I didn't know if I could flash when the two cards were connected at the same time, so I removed the 1st card (oldest, N580GTX Twin Frozr II) downloaded the bios file NV255MS.104.zip and flashed the 2nd card (N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC). After this was done, I did the same thing for the first GTX, bios file NV255MS.111.zip.
This afternoon, I still had 2 BSoD, one in game, the 2nd occured when the computer rebooted (didn't have time to get to the desktop -> BSoD)
Should I re-flash the vbios, but now with the 2 cards connected and bridge put on? If Yes, wich bios file should I take?
Anyway, thanks a lot for you help ^^
