GTX 680 Twin Froz 4gb sli problem

Greetings,
I have two GTX 680 Twin Frozr 4gb cards in sli.  I have this problem when sli is enabled my two monitors and HD TV flicker randomly once in awhile.  The worst part is when I play games or look at 3d video the video drivers crash and most of the time I have to restart my computer.  Sometimes I can use control -Alt-Delete and it will be ok.  I have test both cards without sli in both PCI express ports and this problem does not occur until I enable sli.  I am using the sli bridge that came with my Z68A-GD80 (G3) board.  Could it be a bad sli bridge?
Computer specs
2 gtx 680 twin frozr 4gb bios - 80.04.28.00.32
Z68A-GD80 (G3) bios - V18.8/202120116
2600k processor - 4.6ghertz
16gb gskillz ram - 1600
corsair 1200 watt power supply
windows 7 64bit home edition
gforce driver -  4.8.750.0

Both cards work perfectly alone.  I can even get a 50 hertz overlock in afterburner on both cards.  If it is the board were can I buy a good sli bridge that is reliable.  One thing I noticed is the bridge seems kinda loose on the connectors.  It is really easy to pull it off unlike my old crossfire bridge i had.

  • Issue with Gtx 680 Twin Froz? 3dmark 11 scores

    Hey guys. I will be very greatful. Can somebody make for me 5 loops from a row in 3dmark 11 in performance mode?
    I ask because i have very difference results. For me , my scores are fluctuating too high. Scores are too much variant.

    Please have the same clocks on cpu and gpu on that loops.
    What is your biggest difference in points between score to next score?
    I mean from a row. Score to next score, from a row. So i ask about first 5 scores.
    Many peoples have that differences much smaller , like variances of 10-20+ points.
    Next thing is that my friend have Gtx 680 Twin Frozr and that card on my computer have much smaller fluctuations, like 10-25 points. Why my card have 40-59:(? I want RMA card. What now?
    But maybe, if somebody will be have similiar like me differences of 40-59 points i will be more patient.
    Look,that are my scores:

  • Help gtx 680 twin frozr whining

    Hi everyone. I've recently built a new system with the following specs
    Fractal r4 design
    Z87x d3h motherboard
    i7 4770k
    Antec true power new 650 watts
    And gtx 680 twin froze with 2gb
    My only problem seems to be bad coil whine however this never occurs during stress tests like furmark. Normally it occurs in games like doshonoured when I don't cap the fps to say 75. Even worse is StarCraft 2 particularly during the campaign. Constant loud whining. Is there anything I canto fix this? And why doesn't it always occur when the GPU is stressed and only in some programs? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the help I do remebeber in my old system with a HD 7850 sapphire oc and the same antec to 650 PSU there was a mild level of coil whine during the menus of oblivion and also in dota. Now with the 680gtx its gotten worse in dota and sc2 and has stopped in oblivion strangely. Could this point to the psu being more likely the issue? Or is whine in GPUs a really common thing?

    Thanks for contacting MSI technical support. Regarding your concern, we suggest you remove the previous driver.

  • Help flashing UEFI bios for my GTX 680 Twin Frozr III 2GD5/OC

    Hi,
    I am very new to flashing graphics card bios, so i need some instructions as to how to update my bios to the latest UEFI GOP version. I am using a Z77 platform with Windows 8 Pro and I'm looking forward to the super fast boot times
    Here is my current bios file: **http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/434943/GK104.rom**
    Here is my serial number: 602-V282-020B1205147435
    My model: MSI GTX 680 Twin Frozr III 2GD5/OC
    Thank you

    I have followed the steps you said, but had a few hiccups on the way:
    1) when i was flashing the rom, i was told in the command line dialog box that the pci vendor identification/verification was mismatched, i was prompted to override verification and i pressed "y". Is that ok ? In total, i had to press "y" 2 times as opposed to once as said in your instructions.
    2) After flashing bios, I restarted and disabled CSM (compatibility mode) support. My PC booted fine and i reached the lock screen. But when i entered the password, I was introduced to a black screen with only the cursor showing over it. Then my pc crashed with the error IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO
    3) I restarted and logged back again, but was introduced to the same black screen again, but i could gain access to the control panel with CLT+ALT+DEL and it was filled with error reporting tasks. I restarted the third time and finally could log back in without any crashes or black screens, but windows came up with a prompt that it had run into an error and needs to report it.
    I am suspecting that it had something to do with the driver or the verification.
    PLEASE HELP. Thanks

  • Msi Gtx 680 Twin Frozr, cold boot noise

    So about 3 out of every 10 times I turn on my computer, it sounds like one of the fans running at full speed or something, it's very loud.
    I dont know what it is . Its like rattling noises, grinding noise only on cold boot. When Windows start then all is quiet. I think its from graphic card.
    Sometimes all is quiet when i boot pc, sometimes not. Its very rarely , and only when i booting pc and when windows start all is quiet.

    Quote from: xmad on 16-October-12, 23:01:43
    Perhaps some clarification is in order.
    Is the fan spinning at full speed sometimes or making funny noises like the fan isn't spinning correctly.
    You have two entirely different discriptions going on here. Running a full speed is one thing, grinding or vibration noises are another.
    While it is working correctly use afterburner to increase the fan speed to 100%, there shouldn't be any rattling or grinding or anything. Same thing at start-up, they may goto 100% in reverse to clear dust, but they shouldn't grind or rattle.
    You say: "Same thing at start-up, they may goto 100% in reverse to clear dust, but they shouldn't grind or rattle."
    But Msi Gtx 680 Twin Frozr III dont have that feature.   <--- I have that card.        Only Gtx 680 Lighting got it.

  • GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozer Fan boot problem.

    Hi,
    After looking online this link (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147023.0) is the only reference I've found to the problem I have and its with the same card (GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozer), the fans during boot make a rattling noise especially if its the first boot of the day as it then sounds like a bag of hammers. The fans seem to go back to normal after it idles in windows for a bit or if I put the fans on 100% in afterburner, now I know its not drivers as I wipe windows every time I try a driver and I've tried a few since getting the card. Is this something that can be fixed with a vbios upgrade or do I need to return the card for a replacement?

    The bios is 70.24.0A.00.00

  • 580 GTX Twin Frozer II SLI heat issue

    Hi.
    I just bought another 580 GTX Twin Frozer II card becouse i thought the first one had artifacts issue.
    First of all, both card gets a artifact look a like after a couple hours playing BF3, i read that this may have something to do whit Nvidia drivers so thats ok.
    Both card has a idle temp at 35 degreds and load temp at 67 degreds, single testing.
    When running the cards in SLI mode the idle temp of mastercard is 46 degreds and load 88 degreds, slave card idle is 35 degreds and load 78 degreds.
    Is this right and safe degreds? I find it strange that the temp is so diffrent from single to SLI, both cards looks stable after som hours playing.
    Also the fan is running at max when it reaches 80 degreds.
    Info about the cards:
    Core Voltage mV - 1025
    Core Clock - 800MHz
    Shader Clock - 1600MHz
    Memory Clock - 2048MHz
    Driver version - 285.79
    Bios mastercard - 70.10.20.00.01
    Bios slavecard - 70.10.17.00.01
    Best regards
    Øystein from Norway.

    Thanks for the reply. I watched that video but also watched this one:
    He says the cards get up to 100ºC.
    I know twin frozr works better than reference wit just one card, but with TRI SLI the cards being so closed and the cooler not sending the air out of the case (like the reference cooler does), maybe not the best solution.
    Trying to confirm before I buy the three of them.

  • 680 twin frozer oc problem?

    Hi guys. I'm having a few issues with my 680 twin frozr 2gb oc. On gpu intense games like bf3 or fc3, I'm getting weird textures, many of which are bright pink or green, then after a short while I get a black kaleidoscope like effect. My temps are 60 at max, changed to various drivers and even underclocked as advised by msi. However I'm still getting the same issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Gtx 570 twin frozer buggy artifacts with less than 2 year usage

    Hey friends,
    I have purchase MSI geforce 570 gtx twin frozer after reading too many good things about it. MSI is famous as being the best quality brand for VGA boards but i had no luck with my first purchase of the brand. I'm currently using it now, it allows me to use web and other low resources apps with no problem but any game that I play, after 2 -3 mins of playing, it gets my screen full of weird colorful artifacts and freezes. Sometimes it sends me to desktop with a message "the display driver stopped working and recovered itself" (something along these lines, i use windows in portuguese).
    What can be done in this case? Did i just lose my VGA with less than 2 years use? I'm searching for the manuals/box for it to check the warranty period, but until i find it could you please tell me if i still can get help from warranty?
    Thanks in advance.
    Hardware: asus p5e3 deluxe wi-fi  , 8gb corsair dominator DDR3  , win 7  x64

    >>How to contact MSI.<< to ask for rma procedure.
    To check >>use MSI Afterburner<< and reduce gpu clockrate to 732Mhz or below and retry. If no help >>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If still no help try with a singsle stick of ram. Test both sticks individually.

  • Gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc problem

    I'm having problem with my gtx 580 twin frozr II/OC. everything is running fine but it crushes or video card lose focus when I run 3dmark 11 or try to play crysis. video output works fine, it plays metro 2033, star craft 2, dead space 2 just fine. It passed 1 hour of furmark stability test fine, 1 hour of OCCT test fine, passed OCCT memory test fine too. I didn't overclock it so it's at factory overclocked speed of 823mhz and idle temp is at 35c, gaming max temp during metro 2033 is 77c, OCCT test max temp was 88c. so I know it's not overheating problem. I have used both nvidia driver or 263.09 and 266.58, same result. it crushes during cutscene or after cutscene of crysis(i hear sound but no visual) and lose focus after initial loading on 3dmark11. vga bio is 70.10.17.00.01 and i am running on windows 7 64 bit ultimate edition. yes, i have updated to latest version of crysis and 3dmark11 too. still, the same. Is something wrong with this card during manufacturer place or what? I don't think this is just my problem coz according to newegg review, there were customers complain about this card gets crush during crysis. I also own gtx 570 from other brand and I was using it b4 I've got msi gtx 580 twin frozr II/oc. It didn't have any problem like this. Anyone know what's causing this? any help? I don't think RMA would help this problem at all coz card is not broken and works fine on everything just fine with no error or artifacts besides those two(3dmark11 and crysis).

    OC is always risky and done at own risk.
    Basically the max allowed from AB
    We are not going to OC your card further,
    but just to make it stable at default HW-OC speed
