GTX 670 PE : change voltage - resets itself in 5 seconds

Like the topic says, when I attempt to change the voltage from the default 0.987V, the new setting sticks for about 5 seconds, and then the voltage reverts to 0.987V. It doesn't matter what I set it to. I have tried changing the voltage with MSI Afterburner 2.2.3, 2.3, and EVGA Precision X; all have the exact same result. According to the monitor graphs in Afterburner and GPU-Z, the voltage does actually change briefly.
What's the deal?
Ok, I guess I'm just a noob. It only idles at 0.987V, as soon as I put a load on it, it jumps up to the set value. To think I spent two hours searching for posts on this "issue" ...

Good work on getting it sorted and thanks for teporting back.

Line rate always changing / Hub resetting itself

Hello
For the past 6 or 7 months we have seen dramatic fluctuations in our Broadband download speed. This change always comes about as a result of our our Home Hub 4 seemingly restting itself: we have normal internet use with a blue light on, but then the Hub will flash orange for a while and come back with a blue light. There is no pattern regarding the time of day; it's completely random.
I've been informed that a resetting connection will only inform the exchange that there is a problem, thus prompting the "IP Profile to be reduced" to make things stable. Surely then this isn't supposed to be happening?
There was a time when we would always get around 2.7 - 3.3 Mbps line rate, which is the best we could expect for our area and the distance from the exchange. The download speeds associated with that were good enough for us, but we can never seem to get that now.
The Event Log will report the process described above as: 'Failed to Resolve Host' and, once the connection is re-established, the line rate will usually be lower than it was before. As an example, a line rate of approx 2.3 Mbps will drop to about 1.3 Mbps. Sometimes this process will return a slightly higher line rate!
This happens approximately once every day, but the line rate is never the decent 3 Mbps we used to get...Sometimes I get lucky by manually resetting the Hub and the line rate will be 2.5 Mbps...but it isn't long before it resets itself and, again, we have about 1.2 Mbps.
Current event log:
12:24:27, 18 Sep.
( 97.940000) DSL noise margin: 5.90 dB upstream, 6.00 dB downstream
12:24:26, 18 Sep.
( 96.910000) DSL line rate: 934 Kbps upstream, 1315 Kbps downstream
12:24:11, 18 Sep.
( 81.000000) CWMP: session closed due to error: Could not resolve host
In the last month there was a small amount of noise on the telephone line (we were looking into it but it appears to have gone), but this line rate fluctuation started long before then anyway. Phone call with the Telephone department team told me there appears to be no problem with the line. We have also had 3 different Hubs during that time, so it isn't a Hub issue. Filters in place and Master Socket is in use. Using the test socket yeilds same problems.
Further questions if anyone is able to answer them:
Besides interference from noise, is there a good reason for the Hub to go through this process and force lower speeds upon us? Is the exchange throttling us or something?
For a period last year we were getting 380 kB/s in a speed test and that was fine to use because it matches the line capabilities that we have always been quoted. I don't understand why we can't have a similar speed now. We don't even get > 300kB/s during off peak times. Is it normal for our DL speed to now be always be about 180 kB/s? We were told during our recent re-contract that there is no longer any capping.

presumbly the previous stats were from the test socket as new stats are just the same

Ipod constantly resetting itself when plugged into Itunes.

My new 5G 80gig Ipod constantly resets itself when I plug it into Itunes. Any ideas? The Ipod is new...

Here's what I've done so far unsuccessfully:
Placed it into disk mode, but it does the same thing. Once plugged into the computer the ipod is recognized by both windows and Itunes but it resets itself within 30 seconds. It constantly keeps resetting itself.
Also, since it keeps resetting itself, and therefore disappears form itunes, I cannot reformat/hardreset it via Itunes....

MSI Afterburner 2.2.4 - Voltage oc nerf for GTX 670 PE / GTX 680 Lightning

Looks like Nvidia has given MSI a bashing for allowing voltage adjustments with these cards.
Disappointing as the actual box states:
Quote from: mikeo, OcUK Forums
Yet another new version just released:
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm#
MSI Afterburner Version 2.2.4 (2012/9/18)
- Added new graphics cards support
- Change the NVIDIA Kepler series voltage control mode
And it's the 2nd item that is maybe of interest to those of us with Kepler based GPU's! Basically the GPU core voltage has been now locked for all cards (including the 680 Lightening and the 670 PE) to 1.175v. This by all accounts was by the direction of Nvidia/MSI themselves.
Suggested reading is the last few posts on this thread at Guru3D (post #67 onwards):
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=364858
One quote from Unwinder:
it will be standard 1175mV, similar to all other 680 on the market. Advanced core voltage control of Lightning will be totally disabled, so it won't be different comparing to any other 680.
Though there are still two ways round this.
1) Continue to use version 2.2.3
2) Use 2.2.4 (or later when it becomes available) but use the work around that Unwinder gives in a later post.
Looks like Nvidia is continuing to put the pressure on to prevent any sort of meaningful voltage adjustment.

Quote from: flobelix on 22-September-12, 02:52:20
Sadly Nvidia really dictated this cut down. MSI had to follow. I keep on using 2.2.3 which keeps everything as it should. Poor 660ti users have no choice as only 2.2.4 supports this model. Right now there is no workaround for that gpu.
It's a shame really, I already have a GTX 670 that does 1340/7406, but on Thursday I decided to buy the MSI GTX 670 OC PE, having read this:
Quote from: HardwareCanucks - MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC Review
MSI’s cards have continually impressed us with their willingness to overclock to impressive levels. With a bit of coaxing via MSI’s AfterBurner software to maximize the Power Limit and add 100mV to the core and memory voltage (PLL was also increased by 50mV) the GPU hit an impressive 1388MHz while the memory petered out at 6524MHz. Both of those clock speeds are personal bests but we have a feeling like there’s more in the tank should MSI decide to release a GTX 670 Lightning.
For those of you wondering, at these speeds, the actual Boost clock we typically observed in games was between 1450MHz and 1465MHz.

I got my MSI GTX 670 OC PE on Friday, will see what it can do tomorrow, even at factory clocks it should be on par with a reference GTX 680, I only game at 1920x1200 anyway, so it will be great.

GTX-560-Ti Can't change voltage anymore

Hello. As in subject, I can't change voltage anymore. It was working sometime ago, probably about a week or so, but it doesn't work now, the option is just grayed out, and I can't even see the current voltage. Any idea what might have caused this? I'm using newest MSI Afterburner beta, Windows 7 x64.

Correction, the newest version isn't beta anymore, in that case I have version 2.2.3. I just tried downgrading it to the latest beta version, which is 2.2.0 beta 15, but I get an error when I try to start afterburner, saying that some of afterburner components are outdated, have been deleted or are broken. I did uninstall afterburner before trying to install older version, but that didn't fix this problem.

GTX 670 Overclocking itself?

MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB
I got this card 3 days ago, and I noticed the core clock will sometimes jump anywhere from 1019 to 1215 randomly.
Also the shader clock will jump up to 2430, is this normal?

Yes it is

MSI GTX 670 Nvidia driver stopping

I have started getting errors "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." This happens when playing World of Warcraft, and I have also been able to recreate it using the Heaven Benchmark.
I have taken these steps
1. Re-installed windows 8.1
2. Run windows memory tests
3. Installed current nvidia drivers
4. Reverted to previous nvidia driver
5. Run benchmarks, including Heaven which recreated the error
Did a lot of reasearch on the web, there are solutions from changing the registry time out to upping the voltage to the GPU, have been hesitant to do these, because first doesn't seem like i should have to up the time out, and second, not sure how to safely up the voltage.
There is some information about another BIOS for the GPU, saying something about fixing a MOBO compatibility issue. Should I be downloading this and if so how? Couldn't get live update 5 to show VGA BIOS, and live update 6 doesn't seem to run on my computer
I'm looking for any suggestions on how to fix this
Thanks

Thought I would do a summary so you dont have to read the whole post.
My MSI GTX 670 started getting the following error:
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
This occurred when playing WOW and in the Heaven Benchmark.
Per your recommendations, I have done the following with no success
I uninstalled the display driver using DDU in safemode, and reinstalled the recommend driver.
I moved the board to another machine, the heaven benchmark had the same problem.
Put my GTX 560Ti in my main computer, no issues
RMAed the board
Received a returned board from MSI with a different serial number
Put it in my computer and had the same error using the Heaven Benchmark
provided the s/n and vbios of the new board
s/n 602-V284-030B1302117626
BIOS version
80.4.92.0.9
Ran Prime95 on my computer for 7 hours in blended mode and 12 hours in low FFT mode, no issues
Moved the new board to the other computer, problem occurred
Just trying to figure out what to do next

Mac OS 10.4 reset itself

Hi,
I was using my PowerBook G4 today like I always do. I was downloading some new icons from the apple website and I was writing a paper for school. I was pasting some of these new icons onto folders, when my customize buttons on the Finder dissappeared. I thought the computer was just having a small problem, so I restarted it.
When I did that, the entire OS was changed. The dock was reset back to factory settings (except instead of the icons appearing, they were question marks). My iTunes library was erased, as was my iPhoto library (and all of my other applications were reset). My edits to the Finder (such as backgrounds) were set back to white, and edits inside of applications were undone (for instance, my bookmarks in Safari were reset back to factory settings).
What happened? And is there a way to recover the settings I had put into the computer? It didn't delete my MS Word and Excel files, but it seems to have deleted or reset everything else. I have had no problems with my computer before. Nothing like this has ever happened to it before. Thanks for your help in advance.
PowerBook G4 12.1 1.5 GHz 512 MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Update:
After digging around more, I've found most of my files. My iTunes music is all there for instance. However, I have to reimport the files into iTunes to get them to play.
So, my question is now... what happened? Why did my computer reset itself, but not delete my files? And how do I keep this from happening again in the future?

New GeForce GTX 670 vs Quadro FX 4800

Had some computer failures, at first I thought my Quadro FX 4800 was dying... but it appears Im going to have to replace my motherboard. horay.
In trouble shooting I bought a GTX 670. (changed the txt file to make it work with Mercury) and now that I need to replace the mobo, I have a feeling the 4800 is ok.
So the question is... if the 4800 is fine... is there a significant jump in performance with the GTX 670? Is it worth the $400

Nick,
I'm late to this thread; just read it for the first time, and I have several observations to share...
1) I tend to agree with Harm and and RjL regarding the GTX being quite a bit stronger; so in your system where this is not evidenced, possibly the video card it is not the "critical path" (or bottleneck) for whatever you are doing (playback, render, etc.). Running Harm and Bill's excellent PPBM5 benchmark can tell you a lot about how the various areas of your system perform and the 800+ system database shows what others are getting from their listed hardware.
2) Premiere Pro is pretty good at taxing all of a PCs resources and "balance" of components is important in order to eek out the best overall performance. I would quickly add another RAID 0 pair to this system if I were you. You can test this theory too by looking at the performance tab in Windows task manager and see if your cpus (all 4 cores and 4 hyperthread cores) are working pretty hard. If they never all running at or very close to 100%, then you have gains to be made by either tweaking the system and/or revising components in your build.
3) You may not even have a motherboard problem; buy or borrow a highy rated 850w or larger power supply and see if that does not clear up whatever woes you are blaming your motherboard on; 650 may not be enough for rendering RED!
Regards,
Jim

ITunes 11.x resetting itself every time its closed and relaunched

Itunes 11.x keeps resetting itself every time I close it and then later reopen. It prompts accepting the end user agreement, then upon entering, all the sync preferences are reset. Doesn't seem to effect backup of apps or music library. I'm using windows vista 64. Tried reinstalling several times removing every apple component including, all apple sub files, preference files in windows user folders, and all other apple folders, with no change upon reinstallation. Tried resetting sync history/cache in iTunes preferences, tried resetting admin rights in windows, tried enough to make this miserable. Can't find any solutions online though have found a lot of people complaining about the same issues with iTunes 11. Thought about removing 11 and installing older version though figured I'd try here first for a solution.
Thank you for the help...

Using a GTX 670 with Premiere Pro CC

This is a similar question to one that's been asked many times before, pertaining to earlier versions of Premiere.
With CS6, some cards not on the supported list could be added via a "hack". Can a similar modification be made for Premiere Pro CC ? And if so, how and where ?
Something related to Premiere- I also wonder if Speedgrade can support my GTX 670.

After some searching around, I found this page from Adobe > http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/06/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-and-gpu-support.html
According to that page, selecting non certified cards now only requires a simple change in the project settings.

Trouble with GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro CS6 (GTX 670)

I recently bought a new GTX 670 with the hopes that it would accelerate my video editing in Premiere. After using the "nVidia hack" to add it to the list of CUDA supported cards, I started up Premiere, enabled GPU acceleration in the general project preferences window, and was disappointed to find that my performance appeared to be identical to what I had experienced with my non compatible HD 6870s.
When I checked with MSI Afterburner, my GPU usage remained around 0%, even when playing through videos. I'm quite certain that my card was successfully added to the list, so I have no idea what's going on.
Is there any chance that I am misunderstanding what GPU acceleration is supposed to do? I'm very new to Premiere, so I don't know too much about it yet. The reason I bought my new card, aside from improved performance in 3D games, was to allow me to scrub through my project (comprised of 1080p AVI videos captured with FRAPS) without hiccups and poor FPS. Was this not a reasonable expectation for GPU rendering?
Here's a short list of my PC's specs if it's any help:
-Intel i5 2500k (currently not overclocked)
-8GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM (at 1600MHz)
-1TB 7200RPM HDD
-nVidia GTX 670 OC 2GB VRAM
-Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Motherboard
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Did you go to project>project settings>general and verify that GPU (cuda) accleration is enabled? If it's set to software only then change it and see if that helps. If it's enabled my next question is what is the bitrate of your FRAPS videos? Because I have seen some fraps video's with bit-rates that are really high which would require a RAID array that is only holding video clips to playback smoothly. In your case it appears you have your OS and your apps and your footage all playing from the same 7200rpm drive. Which isn't really sufficent for 1080p editing. However it might be as simple as enabling it from within premiere pro like I mention earlier. If it's enabled though please check the bit-rate of your video you're attempting to edit with because I'm assuming that might be the issue.

60G iPod 'Resets' itself sporadically... What's Up with that?

I have a 60G iPod that has about 2800 songs loaded (+ about a dozen jpg images). Loaded from a WIN2K based PC using iTunes 6.0.4.2 and the latest iPod Update software.
When playing, the unit will sporadically 'Reset' itself (Run through shutdown/startup while displaying the Apple Logo) with no button pushes or any other contact. It's to the point now where it is never a matter of "IF" it will do it, simply a matter of "WHEN" or "HOW SOON" it will occur... very, very frustrating!!! Sometimes I can run about 30-45 minutes before it happens, sometimes it happens on the second or third song (5 or 10 minutes).
I have Reset the iPod, Upgraded the iPod to the latest OS, Reinstalled OS and consistently upgraded to the newest iTunes version, and Restored the iPod to factory level Zero and then reloaded all 2700+ songs and 13 photos... no changes... still dumps whenever it decides to.
Oh yeah... it sits in a BOSE dock, charging every night so the power should be adequate.
Any ideas or insights from ANYONE? Thanks in Advance for your reply/response!!!
I'm getting exceedingly frustrated, especially when I see my wife's 30G operate absolutely fine. Don't know if song count makes any difference but she doesn't has barely begun to load any real quantity of material yet...
iPod v5 60G Windows 2000

Here is my 'tech/test report' for the day:
I plugged in the iPod to my work computer, same as yesterday. No songs in library, etc, etc.
Using the iPod as the song file source, and playing the songs using iTunes as the controlling interface, this thing played all day, hour after hour, with no resets, no issues of any type.
After ejecting the iPod and playing it on the way home, I was able to get approximately one (1) hour of play time before the iPod went into the 'AUTO-RESET' mode, by rebooting itself with no contact.
I believe we state with a high level of assurance the issue is neither MECHANICAL (i.e. a bad or tempermental hard-drive) or due to bad files. The iPod did what it was supposed to do for hours when using an external (i.e. Workstation) user interface (iTunes). Although possible, I still doubt the RESET issue stems from a battery/power triggered event.
I tend to believe the issue lies somewhere within the UI or OS on the unit itself. Perhaps some memory cache that fails to clear and eventually fills and forces a reset?
Still searching for THE solution...
Ps: I WILL NOT BE UPGRADING TO 1.1.1 ... those issues look REALLY UGLY!!! Atleast I still get to listen to SOME songs before it bites the dust!

Illustrator 2014: Scratch disk preference keeps resetting itself

Hello Illustrator community.
I have recently noticed that in my Illustrator CC 2014 18.0.0, the scratch disk preference setting keeps resetting itself. I'm using a MacBook pro with a single SSD, but I have an external Lacie Thunderbolt SSD that I got to use as the scratch disk for Illustrator and Photoshop. The problem is that if I set the scratch preference to use the external as the primary and my startup as the secondary, everything is fine and it let's me know that the change will take effect once it's reopened. Upon reopening Illustrator I double check and it's saved, and everything works fine. But if I happen to open Illustrator without my external attached, when I check the scratch preference, it will revert to using the startup as the main scratch location, which I understand. But the next time illustrator is opened with my external connected, the scratch setting is still defaulted to using the startup disk. At that point I would need to change the preference, close illustrator and then reopen to make sure Illustrator is using the external as scratch.
So for some reason it's not saving my preference for the scratch disk, while all other preferences seem to be saved fine. In Photoshop CC 2014, I can set the scratch preference, which works fine, close Photoshop and reopen without the external attached and then close and reopen with the external reattached, and it will remember my preference for having the external as the primary scratch.
Is this just the way Illustrator is meant to work, or is this possibly a bug? Anyone have experience with this?
I used Illustrator CC 17.x.x before this but didn't notice if it operated the same way, since at that time I didn't have a dedicated scratch disk to use.
Thank you very much, I look forward to your help and replies!

The last thing Adobe AI does upon a quit is to write the existing state of the preferences file to disk. If it is using the local HD as scratch, then that is what is recorded in the preferences.
