Hello & Need some input - MSI Lightning Extreme 580's

Hello All-
In a few days, well as soon as UPS delivers my new toys I will be a new member to the MSI GPU Family.  I have 2 Lightning Extreme 580's on the way and just wanted some feedback/advice on the best way to test/connect the cards.  I currently am running a 2x580 EVGA Vanilla Cards, so I do understand the whole SLI situation.  My questions/help is below:
1. Since these are 2 new cards, is it advisable to install one at a time and test the card by itself first? Then install the 2nd card seperately and test it?
2. Obviously anyone buying this card is going to OC it. So it is also advisable to OC one card at a time to test each card and how the OC?
3. I noticed 2-3 areas where the SLI Cable can connect too.  Does it matter which one you connect the SLI Ribbon too?
For any owners of the Extreme 580 and advice you would give to a new owner of the card?
Lastly, is there a site or a chart that shows what others were able to achieve with OC?  I know for my EVGA's there were alot of spreedsheets showing various users and what speed, fan percentage, temps etc. Anything like that for the MSI Family?

==> 1. It's not necessary to do this. This can only helps if you have issues and by testing in that ways it can be isolated which card is cause the eventual trouble. As there is no reason to suspect cards failure you can skip this.
==> 2. It's also not necessary to do this. Because when they are running in SLI, both combined speed will be equal to the lower card speed in the party.
So finding personally which one card how much can be overclocked will be useless as the total speed will be speed of the slowest card in the party.
ect: finding the card with better OC potencial will be useless, as you will run them in SLI and their combined speed will be down to the slowest card.
==> 3. Use the 1st one connector near to the VGA's outputs. Etc:

  • Lightning Extreme 580 - Cant break 950mhz (SLI)

    Well, I installed my 2 new Lighting Extreme 580's and after some setup and testing, I went for the OC.  However, I cannot get a stable OC at 950mhz and I have maxed out the voltage at 1.212.  What is odd is that I was able to dial it down to 940mhz and dropped the Voltage to 1.155 and it is stable as can be.  You would think that only 10 more mhz on the core and 1.2v I should be able to hit the 950mhz.  But it is in an SLI configuration, so it could be that one of the 2 new cards does not OC as good as the other card.
    So unless there is something I am missing, it looks like I am stuck at 940mhz...I am a beginner OC and I am not comfortable enough to mess with the switches on the card right now, which from what I read would allow even more voltage.
    I do have to say that the cooling on the cards is amazing.  My previous cards with EVGA's 580 1.5gig.  I had them OC to 900mhz with 1.1v to the core and on the top card I would hit 85c-88c.  With the Lightning Extremes I am pushing 940mhz, 1.155 on the voltage and thte top card peaks at 76c.  That 10c is a big amount of lower heat, plus the cards are no where as loud as the EVGA's.  Pretty impressed with them so far..but I really want to hit 950!!!  I know Guru3d was able to hit 961 on the core with a 1.21voltage tweak, but that was only 1 card and it could be one of the lucky ones.
    Well if anyone has any suggestions on what else I can do I am open to hearing your thoughts!

    Is there a guide that explains a bit more on what the Aux Voltage tweak does?   I have done alot of reading of professional sites overclocking the Lightnings, but no one mentions this Aux Voltage.  Since my goal was to hit 950mhz in SLI, I still want to ensure I am doing everything I can, but have not used the Aux Voltage cause there is really no information I can find on it. 
    Thanks for any help, I do appreciate it.
    I'd have to look around the net for a decent Hawk/Lightning OC guide, but basically what the PLL voltage controls is your "PCI Express Bus"
    Don't  take it as it says, but with the slightly increased voltage, you should be able to go into your PC bios and increase the frequency of your PCI express bus there as well (and the according voltage.)
    This should get you (nothing guaranteed) something like 20 Mhz more out of your OC.
    Also, try to run a separate 12cm on the back of your cards (PWM area.)

  • Need some input about a class I'm making.

    Hi guys.
    Take a look at this class:
    public class MyClass {
    public static final byte A_PARAM1 = (byte)0x80;
    public static final byte B_PARAM2 = (byte)0x40;
    public static final byte A_PARAM2 = (byte)0x20;
    public static final byte B_PARAM2 = (byte)0x10;
    public MyClass(byte param1, byte param2) {
    // Other functions go here...
    }As you can see from the code the constructor takes two byte's. I wanted the static variables to be the values for that constructor A/B_PARAM1 and A/B_PARAM2 for param1 and param2 respectively. It depends on the parameters (bytes) on what other behaviour the class will have. You know, A_PARAM1 OR'ed(bitwise) with B_PARAM1. I'm sorry if I'm not making any sense as I'm not that good with explaining things.
    I'm sure that most of you can already see some problems with this approach. For one, typesafety. Is that the correct term for that? Another problem is I'll be making a lot of these classes and each will have a different number of parameters for them. One or two can have as much as 5 parameters.
    One solution I'm thinking about is to have the parameters(mostly just byte's) represented as a class. Maybe an generic abstract class with just simple functions of getting and setting the value. The different subclasses will contain the static variables. I was also thinking that the class that will be using it as values will be the only one that can create the subclasses of the abstract parameter class.
    I don't know. Am I making any sense?
    Anyway. Could anyone give me some input? Am I doing this right or is it just too much that I should just stick with what I'm currently doing? How would you go on with the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello again. The EnumSet class is making me scratch my head a bit.
    I'd like to return to my initial idea of extending a class that will represent a parameter. Take a look at this:
    public class MutantCarThing {
         public static final byte HAS_EYES = (byte)0x80;
         public static final byte HAS_NOSE = (byte)0x40;
         public static final byte HAS_TEETH = (byte)0x01;
         public static final byte ONE_WHEEL = (byte)0x80;
         public static final byte ONE_DOOR = (byte)0x40;
         public static final byte HAS_WINDSHIELD = (byte)0x01;
         private byte facialFeaturesParam;
         private byte carFeaturesParam;
         public MutantCar(byte facialFeaturesParam, byte partsFeaturesParam) {
              this.facialFeaturesParam = facialFeaturesParam;
              this.partsFeaturesParam = partsFeaturesParam;
              // Stuff
    public class MutantCarMaker {
         public void make() {
              // Mutant car that has only eyes and one wheel.
              MutantCar mc = new MutantCar(MutantCar.HAS_EYES, MutantCar.ONE_WHEEL);
              // Mutant car with a nose, eyes, and only one door.
              MutantCar mc = new MutantCar(MutantCar.HAS_NOSE | MutantCar.HAS_EYES, MutantCar.ONE_DOOR);
              // Etc...
    }This is just an example and as I've said earlier, I'll be writing lots of these classes. The good thing here is that all of them have some common behaviors, both the xxThing and xxMaker class. I'll just make a base abstract class and extend. My only dilemma is the darn parameters (eg. facialFeaturesParam, carFeaturesParam). One xxThing class can have as much 5 parameters(usually as byte) and have a completely different names for the bit flags for each byte. That's why the idea of a Parameter class came to mind. I'm having a hard time grasping EnumSet.
    I guess what I want to do is just to make instantiating a xxMaker object more simple.
    xxMaker xm = new xxMaker(xxMaker.BFLAGA1 | xxMaker.BFLAGA2 | xxMaker.BFLAGA3 | xxMaker.BFLAGA4,
                                  xxMaker.BFLAGB1 | xxMaker.BFLAGB2 | xxMaker.BFLAGB3,
                                  xxMaker.BLFAGC1 | xxMaker.BFLAGC2);Ugly isn't it? I just want to make this more cleaner and more structured.
    So is my idea ok or is it totally off/unnecessary/stupid? How would any of you guys here do it? Or should I really get myself to use EnumSets?

    hi all,
    I have created a web service wherein on submitting the employee name, i can get the balance in the account of the employee.
    my service communicates with database which is an excel sheet. and the client is a servlet which invokes the service.
    i have used Apache soap implementation for this.
    I have tried this out of my interest and want to get some inputs as where does this application stand.
    Also if anyone can tell me wht can be a real world financial application which i can try making as web service.
    How can i make this available on the net.
    any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards
    neha

    Generally webservices are more useful in solving business application in which multiple organizations are involved. Suppose if one organizations creates the services they perform as webservices the other organization can use those services. For example customer order servise, health insurance and all. Better you send a mail to mail id then I can help you more. [email protected]

  • Need some advise - MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum

    Hello. I have some strange behavior of the system since the last week. Processor´s fan speeds up and down. Usualy is 3400-3600rpm; now speeds up to 5400-5600rpm and stay accelerate for a good while. I thought it could be some dust; yesterday I made a general cleaning of the hardware and also replaced the Thermaltake fan with another one which I have for replacement. The heatsink is firm, deos not have movements. The thermal grase is OCZ Freeze etc, something good,  seems to be hardened because heatsink stay firm. This was assembled some 16 month ago.
    I started again the PC, slow down the processor´s speed from OC 3.2Ghz to the basic 2.8 Ghz and the problem still go on. I thought this could be come system drivers problem, some sensor related. Then, I download the sys driver 15.49_nforce_winvista_win7_64bit_intern ational_whql from nVidia site and install it. Nothing, the problem is the same.
    also: http://i44.tinypic.com/120pix4.jpg
    The readings of Temperatures the TMPIN0 and TMPIN1, north and south bridge are ok. The TMPIN2 127°C is a dead sensor, it allways was like that from the beginning. Don´t pay attention to it.
    I´m really worried that thomething bad could happen and I have not a replacement for this mobo now.
    Could be some bad or crazy sensor which send some erroneous signal and that´s could be the origin of this situation?
    Does it exist the possibility the mobo get fried?
    I hope you´ll have the best advise for me.

    I'm confused.  You say to ignore the 127° reading, but then state you are concerned and talk about a false reading.  What reading and what exactly are you concerned with, the CPU temps?  If your system were getting that hot(127°C), you'd shut down or blow something.  I'm sure it's a false reading. 
    If you wish to remove the heatsink,  get something like Artic Silver 5 so you have a different paste to use.   Then, boot to the bios and leave it there for 15 minutes and shut down(you can simply hit the power off button this way).  Immediately, after shutdown, removing the power cord and pushing the power on button several times to drain the capacitors, try and remove the Heatsink carefully with some slight wiggle back and forth motion.  Hopefully, the heating of the TIM will make it pliable enough for easier removal.  DO NOT USE FORCE.

  • MSI Lightning GTX 580 delayed crashing

    I have a weird problem here. I have a MSI GTX 580 Lightning 1.5GB that will crash after a few days of the PC being up and running. Let me try to explain the situation.
    Cold boot. games play fine. no problems.
    I always leave my PC on. Idle's all night and while I'm at work.
    Come home, do general work.
    Idle's for another day or two.
    Sit down a few days later to find any game crashes after a few minutes.
    Power down. Cold boot. games play fine for hours.
    I have:
    Asus P8P68 Pro
    Intel Core i7 2600K
    8GB (2x2GB) G.SKILL DDR3-1866 Ram
    OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD
    Corsair HX850 Power Supply
    This happens no matter if CPU and GPU are running at stock speeds. Tried several Nvidia drivers. It's been going on a while. I just upgraded from 275.xx to 285.62. I also never had any issues with CFX 6950's in this system.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Quote from: compudaze on 05-November-11, 10:16:32
    I honestly haven't tried reference 580 clocks. Only the stock clocks of the Lightning. But I don't see how that would affect anything. I can play for several hours without a crash. Then come back a few days later and it will crash within minutes. Cold boot, I can play for hours again.
    I can still give it a try though.
    then it colubd be anything
    try reseat the VGA into the PCI-e slot or try it in another PCI-E slot

  • [VIA] Just need some input on a problem I have

    I need the experts on this forum to help me with a problem I have. The M/B (6590 KT4 Socket A) had a few problems a while see. Since that time I have not updated my PSU as advised  so I expect some abuse for that  .
    Any way I managed in the to fix that problem as you can see. However a further problem occured which was that the PC ,at will , would restart - this ended being the reset switch which I disconnected and this has never happened since. Now I have another problem !  .
    The PC will simply hang with no response at all.  It seems only to happen when I am running the capture software. I have checked for updates and applied these to the program (hauppauges WnTV). This set up was running on another PC with a M/B (in my opinon) of inferior quality without a problem (I have since sold that PC).
     I will admit I have not run the PC without this program running to see if that is the cause. However I just needed input on suggestions. My PSU is as I said earlier the same as before which is an X Pro 400w these are the shameful Voltage rails :
    +5v = 35a
    +12v = 20a
    -5v = 0.5v
    -12v = 0.8v
    3.3v = 22a
    5+VSB=3a
    Also when the PC hung I got the following readings from PCAlert:
    1.76 Vcore
    3.3v = 3.26v
    +5v= 4.97
    +12v = 12.24
    CPU temp = 44c
    System temp = 38c
    I must admit that the previous PC had a separate USB2 (which is how the Happauge unit connects) card whereas this PC I use the onboard card. I was also thinking about the RAM as it was one I bought from a computer fair (hears groans) - This is  normally something I do not do.
    Help input would be appreciated

    Quote from: Dr Stu on 26-November-05, 05:58:45
    look on the PSU label for the Max Combined Watts 3.3v & 5v and post what it says
    KT4 doesn't have a 4pin 12v connector, right? so that board depends on 3.3v and 5v rails
    The Max watts are 210Watts
    Quote
    While waiting for the experts, three things come to my mind:
    - IRQ problem, most often some/the card is in the wrong slot.
    - Graphics driver, most often you have updated too far.
    - Memory problem, most often mixed, but could also be there are things/drivers meeting in the memory that doesn't like eachother. If you have a lot of Autostarting thing that could be the reason, like a CD copying program and the capture program.
    It cannot be an IRQ conflict as the Capture card is USB2. Graphics card has up to date drivers. Startup software on this PC is no different to the preivous apart from PCAlert4
    Quote
    "...It seems only to happen when I am running the capture software..."  Have you tried another program system intensive demanding ? If you have done, and nothing happens, it would show that the capture device/driver is giving problems. Is that USB device self powered or takes it's power from USB port ? It's running at USB 2.0 speed ? 22 A to 3.3v. rail is poor for your Mobo.  You should post your complete PC specs.
    I dont really have any other software than can do that. The USB device is powered by itself.
    PC is as follows:
    AMD 2100+
    1 512mb ram
    2 HDD - 1 80gb Hitachi 1 120gb hitachi
    Nvidia Geforce mmx 64mb ram Graphics card
    1 SCSI CDROM Teac
    1 SCSI CDRW Yamaha
    1 IDE DVDROM Sony
    1 IDE DVDR LG
    Quote
    Make sure that the pathway to were you want to save the captured video is set correctly. I believe you can set the Audio quality and the Frames Per Second (FPS) and I think that you can set the compression, If in doubt try it without compression and see if that works. I too have a TV card and it seems to me that you are having a config problem. Hope that helps.
    The location where the files are captured to is to the secondary drive which is the 120gb
    Hope thats enough information 

  • I need some input from the iphone community with regards to an App that I'm looking for.

    If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. If I'm posting in the wrong place, I apologize.
    Many times I take pictures of schedules, reciepts, or itinerary and send it via mms or e-mail to my daughter @college. Often I'd like to "highlight" specific info on the picture, but the apps that let me do this only offer this feature on a PDF file. (I already have goodreader) I have the app Labelbox which would be great in this instance, (I can place labels anywhere on a photo) however, none of the labels they provide are transparent/flourescent. Drawing apps are messy and don't provide the kind of coverage I need for neat highlighting of specific words or sentences. In short, does anyone know of an app that will let me place transparent labels on specific places on a photo? (Being able to change the width or length would also be an added bonus)
    TIA

    Yes. However, some folks like to use the Combo OS updates directly from Apple's Download site rather than going through Software Update.
    BTW: Have you checked the places where you keep your music CDs if you have any?
    If you are using a computer desk, the insall discs should always be kept in a safe place not to far from your computer or at least in a place where all your other computer stuff is.
    All of my CDs relating to my computers are kept in a CD/DVD binder inside my computer desk drawer.

    So the loop goes inside ONLY ONCE,
    and so, hence, its LIGHTNING FAST.
    Please note that READ TABLE reads only

  • We are on SCM5.0, and want to upgrade R3 from 4.6B to ECC6, need some input

    Hello All,
    Can anyone please offer any suggestions/pitfalls/documentation, etc with regards to the following:
    We have upgraded our APO3 system to SCM5 1 year ago
    We had been using R3 system 4.6b, and everything was working fine.
    Now we are going to upgrade 4.6b to ECC6.
    When we upgrade to ECC6, do we have to blow away all transaction data in SCM5 and reload since the logical system names for CIF will be different once we move from 4.6b to ECC6?
    Can anyone point me in the right direction to the approach to dealing with this from an upgrade perspective?
    Regards,
    Stella

    Hi Stella
    I would recommend you to look into the MasterGuide for SAP SCM (see http://service.sap.com/instgudies -> SAP Business Suite Applications -> SAP SCM). This guide deals with the relevant parts of SAP ERP 6.0 also.

  • Need some inputs to work on OWB 9.0.4 mappings

    In existing source data base tables client added new column and I have to update this table with target table.
    How to update source and target tables . which transformation do I need to use between source and targets and we are using oracle OWB 9.0.4

    Hi,
    Re-import the source table (it will be in the OWB registry with new column).
    Modify the target table by adding the new column and deploy it.
    In the mapping synchronize both the objects (i.e. source and target table).
    With regards to transformation it depends what exactly you want to do, if you do not want to change any thing no need of any transformation directly map the new source column to the new column of the target table.
    How about migrating to OWB 10gr2, it is easier and better option.
    Cheers,

  • Need some input for the best laser printer to use on a Mac Pro

    I have a Mac Pro and am now, a year later, looking for a laser printer. I do not want an ink jet as I do not print enough paper and the jets tend to clog up and the ink dry out, hence the laser.
    I have looked at several different ones, and read the online reviews. Many of them have problems with the drivers for a Mac. I ordered an HP Laserjet P1006 (but have not actually bought it yet) since it was on sale.
    Anyone have experience with this printer? What worked best for you - and by this I mean what printer will work out of the box without having to go online and download drivers, etc.?
    Thanks for your help.

    You might do better using the review information from CNET.com or Macworld.com. I find examining both user reviews and editor choices from the former quite helpful when buying new equipment.
    Personally, I've used HP printers in the past but that's some time back. I have an older HP PhotoSmart printer that has been fine. I also have a Lexmark 510n that I'm happy with, but it's been replaced by a newer model I believe. Works quite well and was OS X compatible out of the box after downloading the driver. Apple has since released a whole new pack of Lexmark drivers for OS X. I also have an old TekTronix laser printer that was quite good in its day. Both laser printers are color.
    I tend to avoid the low-end printers. Cheap is cheap. If there's a $100 laser printer and a $500 one I'd go with the $500 model all things being equal. They generally cost more because they are better built and have better features. I also would prefer models with Ethernet support. I would prefer this to any USB printer or wireless printer - more likely to be less trouble and it isn't necessary to share an Ethernet printer if you have more than one computer on your network.

  • Hello need some help on a few things with email sending and rec.

    I have had my bb for a while but am only now really trying to utilize it for more.  I am able to access my yahoo and gmail accounts on it and sync.  However when I tried to import my address book from sbc or tried to add the blackberry email I have run into problems.  It will let me send an email on the bb using the bb email address however I have no idea where it ends up on the desktop though.  I can't send out anything on the outlook from either account.    I am very frustrated to say the least.  The only reason I am wanting to get the bb email set up as there are thousands of items on the outlook that tell you don't remove from the outbox.  Hope that some of this makes sense.  Thanks  Carla

    Welcome to the forums CarlaVM
    I am a little confused by your post. Could you please clarify a little better.
    If I understand correctly, you have added yahoo and gmail accounts to the blackberry so that it receives email's from those accounts on to your phone.
    What is "sbc" that you are trying to import your address book from? And expand on why you can't add the "blackberry email" (is this the email that says [email protected]?)
    If you send email using your blackberry account ([email protected]) the sent email  is only stored on your phone (and nowhere else). I would send emails using either your yahoo or gmail email account so that it will save a copy in your email accounts as a backup.
    I don't understand what you mean by sending from outlook? What does this have to do with the phone?
    Take a look at this section of the forums for tips and tricks: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/blackberry101/#tab_tab_curve
    I am a little confused by your wording so if you can clarify further I'm sure I, or somebody else, will be able to help you further.
