GTX 970 Gaming 4G 100% Fan Issue

I just purchased a new GTX 970 Gaming 4G and I am having the 100% fan issue that I have been reading about. Is there an easy fix for this or do I need to flash the bios on this card. I am a newbie and any help to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks

or just flash directly to the latest vbios version .186:

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming - monitoring both fans

    Is there a way to monitor the RPM of both fans on then GTX 970 Gaming card.
    MSI Afterburner monitors only one fan
    ... this would also help to determine when the 2nd fan is spinning while the 1st fan
    has stopped and Aferburner is reporting 0 RPM.

    Neither HWinfo nor Speedfan show GPU fan speed at all ...OpenHardwareMonitor at lease shows the fan speed %
    but only for one fan, Afterburner provides both the fan RPM and the % speed, but only for one fan.
    Too bad both fans could not be monitored ...would be pretty useful.

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

     bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
    Hello,
    ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
    Tech specs:
    MB: z87-pro
    CPU: i7-4770K
    GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
    OS: Win7 x64 SP1
    latest OS updates
    latest nVidia drivers
    I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
    I've attached my GPU Bios.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
    Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
    Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
    Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
    What did the BSOD say? Error code?
    Heya, thanks for the reply.
    That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
    OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

  • IS GTX 970 GAMING 4G compatible with MSI B75A-G43 ?

    So i bought myself today this card GTX 970 GAMING 4G
    When i went home to install it i found out that it does not work. the fans spool up, the msi logo lights up, but no picture on monitors, not even the bios screen. i managed to boot up with the ntegrated graphics, GTX does not show up in device manager. Motherboard bios is up to date with the last bios version from the boards support/dovnload page version  10.10
    Motherboard: B75A-G43
    PSU: Corsair CX750T
    My question, are the graphics card and motherboard compatible, did i get a bad card or do i need a new motherboard.

    The warranty guys did check the card out and confirmed that it was dead on arrival. So they replaced the card and i had them check first if the new one works. It did so now it's waiting until evening for some gaming action

  • REQUEST: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G original bios

    My S/N is 602-V316-03SB1409075224 I would like to request the original vBIOS that my card came with.
    My card had problems with the fans randomly spinning and so I updated to the appropriate bios which was NV316MH.182 and that fixed the problem. However I have noticed since updating that the noise from the card has increased when playing games and today whenever starting any game I get an instant crash and my whole system resets, this happens now even when I'm not playing a game and my computer has been randomly restarting and I know it's a problem with the GPU.
    I am worried that it is most likely that the GPU is failing but I would like to try flashing the card to its original stock vBIOS and seeing if that fixes anything. Even if you don't believe the vBIOS is the problem, I would still very much like to have the stock vBIOS for my card. Thanks!
    I'm on windows 8.1 64 bit.

  • GTX 970 Gaming 4G can't overclock above 1398MHz

    Hi, I was trying to use MSI Afterburner to overclock the GTX 970 GAMING 4G to around 1411MHz (+120 above 1291MHz) but the card seems to downclock to 1398MHz all the time. I've checked if this is due to insufficient voltage but power maxes out at 90% while the voltage hits 1.2v at 1401MHz for a short while before falling to 1.18v at 1398MHz. I've increased the Temp. Limit to 87 degrees (linked to a power limit of 107%) but it seems like the card won't go above 80 degrees. Please help.

    OC is a plastic lottery. I just got MSI Gaming 780Ti and it handled +250 Core clock and +600Mem clock. Not sure if that is good or bad but in OCCT gpu stress test it gave me around 30fps more compared to stock clocks (gaming mode) yet the card was around 63 with fans at 40% (it is damn extremely cool!!).
    Cool the card enough first so it doesnt go above 75. Else the OC might be successful but will throttle due to high temp

  • GTX 970 Gaming no error reboots

    Bought a new GTX 970 Gaming edition and seem to be plagued by constant reboots with it. Most of them occur within 30 seconds after logging into windows, though once or twice it has made it a minute or two before rebooting. Hasn't once stayed up long enough to even get into a game. This only occurs after installing the nvidia drivers (card works fine as long as its just running with standard VGA).
    System Specs
    i7 2600k
    Gigabyte z68ap-d3 v.1 BIOS version F8 (latest available)
    16 gigs of RAM (Kingston)
    700 Watt OCZ PSU (2 SSD, 2 standard hard drives and a DVD Burner)
    Previous Graphics card with no issues MSI ATI 6950. Have tried different driver versions (latest from nvidia, CD that came with the GPU, and one back from .22 I believe) and all of them had the same issue. Last thing I tried was a clean reinstall of Windows and even with just the base drivers installed the issue came back the second I installed the nvidia drivers.
    Any suggestions? Right now I'm thinking my only options are either RMA or try upgrading the motherboard... but from other posts I've read it seems like this board should be fine even though it only supports PCIE 2.0.
    Oh and event viewer isn't showing any GPU specific errors, other than other various built in windows services that seem to not be loading correctly at boot after installing the nvidia drivers.

    Update...
    New System Specs (case and CD drive aside, everything has been replaced since I originally dropped this new card in)
    Windows 7 Pro x64
    Intel 4790k (Stock Speeds)
    Asus Hero VII (BIOS 2012, Latest from October)
    MSI GTX 970 Gaming (Factory OC)
    4x4GB Kingston HyperX Genesis RAM (was all I had on hand, but it new in the box and Memtest finds no errors)
    Corsair RM850 PSU
    Tried every Nvidia driver from .11 through the new beta of .80 and I'm still getting random crashes. Temperatures are all fine (never seen the GPU go over 63 degrees) 
    With the exception of once while changing zones, every single crash has occurred either from just sitting at the desktop or web browsing (crashed 4 times trying to type this post...) In fact, when playing Planetside 2 or trying to run stress tests on the machine (3dMark, Passmark etc) it seems more stable than just clicking around inside the OS. Played for 6 hours with another 2 spent web browsing last night and thought that the .80 drivers had finally solved the issue, until I turned on my computer this morning and it rebooted again before I could even open my browser. I'm pretty much down to an RMA at this point unless anyone has a suggestion. Oh at least I'm getting a consistent error when it crashes now.

  • Can't OC my MSI GTX 970 GAMING

    I had MSI GTX 970 GAMING which OC-ed very well (1540 Mhz boost) but had to return it because of loud coil whine. I bought second MSI card which is silent but can't OC it even by +50 Mhz in Afterburner because it drops gpu clock to default value in Valley benchmark after couple of minutes of testing. Do you know what is the reason of that?

    Quote from: flobelix on 17-October-14, 15:48:18
    Everything has been said above. As the reboot issue is no issue if using working clockrates there is still no problem.
    You really don't see the issue with contributing to a thread about overclocking with the answer "Don't overclock and there isn't a problem"?
    Flobelix, I'm not asking for a refund here.
    I don't want a new card via RMA, and I'm not saying my card is bad in any way.
    If it works at the shipped clocks just fine, then it's clearly fine. That's all that's promised anyway.
    But I didn't come to a forum and post in this topic about overclocking to be shut down for talking about overclocking.
    I'm looking for discussion.
    I already said if someone felt my issue was sufficiently different than the OP I'd happily make a new thread.
    If that's not the case, then I think I'm well within the bounds of exactly what this thread is about.

  • MOVED: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G + MSI Z87-G45 incompatible? Noise on speakers

    This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184068.0

    Used hardware
    MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (+ RMA'ed new one)
    Gigabyte 670 GTX Windforce
    MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard (with Intel i7-4770K, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB, and Crucial M500 - 480GB SSD)
    Asus P5N32-E with Q6600 and 8GB DDR2 (Going to test this)
    SoundBlaster-Z Audio card
    Roccat Kave 5.1 Gaming Headphones (4x 3.5 mm jacks: Front, Rear, Center&bass, Microphone + USB amp/volume control)
    Corsair B600 (600W) PSU (secondary)
    Corsair RM750 (750W) PSU (Primary)
    To summarize
    Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + Gigabyte GTX 670 + Roccat Kave = really faint noise only when scrolling in browser, in game not heard
    Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave = in game loud and heavy noise + screech when scrolling in browser
    Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game moderate to heavy noise
    Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game weak to moderate noise
    Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave with Mic disconnected = Almost no noise, ifg you listen for it, really faint background noise in game. But well within my acceptable limits.
    Tomorrow I'll try:
    Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave without mic
    Corsair RM750 + Asus P5N32-E (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave with mic
    I failed to mention, that the first thing I did was to remove my HD Audio Front panel connector off its header.
    So I did some more searches. The noise has something to do with the capacitors on (presumably) the video card. The higher the pitch usually coincides with higher FPS. So the interference must be coming from the video card, as this is the last thing added and probably the main cause.
    Both the motherboard & the SoundBlaster-Z pick up the EMI/RF interference. (I am disappointed by the SoundBlaster about this).
    I'll test with the older motherboard and see how I proceed from there.
