LED Lights on R6970 Lightning (Twin Frozr 3)

Is it possible to turn off the row of LED lights on the back of the card? Sometimes I inevitably leave my computer on at night and I believe these lights would be super distracting, considering I have a windowed case.
This is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on it.
Thanks!

its normal, its APS feature,
dynamic adjust phases[14 (for gpu) monitored from total 18(remaining are: 3 for memory + 1 for PLL)] depend of load to save power
4 burning reds means that currently VGA is in full load [Phases: 11,12,13,14 light in red and 1-10 light in green]

OC'ing the 6970 Lightning Twin Frozr 3 fails

I've been trying to raise the clock speeds for this GPU and it doesn't seem to like it. I've incremented the raises in small steps then try to play games after each change and the display either crashes or just freezes during gameplay. I also have played with the dip switch that changes performance of the card but the computer crashes or won't even display or operate the display at startup. In fact I get the beep error codes from the motherboard. I have heard the audible Windows sound when Windows starts but there is only a black screen. I must then force the computer to power off, flip the switch back, and restart the computer. Granted this card works fine at the base clocks but thats it.
Computer specs:
ASUS Sabretooth X58, BIOS version 3702
Intel 970 i7 CPU overclocked to 3.4GHz
6GB RAM, Mushkin 3x2GB Blackline, Not OC'd
OCZ Agility 3 SSD 250GB
Silverstone ST85F 850W PSU
Samsung Syncmaster 2443 BW 24" Monitor 1920x1200

Ok. I set the voltage to 1184mV and raised the Core Clk to 960 and Crysis 2 crashed after about 5 minutes of play. I decreased the Core Clk to 950 and that was stable. I increased the Mem Clk to 1395 and that was stable. Oh yea, my Fan is at 60%. A little noisey but that doesn't bother me. The GPU seems to run cool enough, not above 60 degrees and nothing crashed so I'll run like that a while and see how it goes. That doesn't seem to be the OC that the reviews say you can achieve as they state this card is cabable of the most amazing benchmarks but it is running quite well, at least better than the HIS 5850 I had used previously.

Yes, unfortunately im sure
I've tried to make it work with Nvidia series 7xx,8xx, 9xx,4xx,5xx
multiple times, spend week to try to make it work[because according to Nvidia it should works]
so if it doesn't normally means that im doing something wrong.
But nothing works.[all possible kind of registry tricks, different drivers, using some 3th party driver tweakers, but nothing works]
I and other people who was trying to make it work from the forum[cards with same specs, except different vram size]
multiple times with different cases. But nothing works.
Then i figured that this info is valid only for some too old Nvidia cards, and no longer works for recent models & drivers.
Dunno why Nvidia still keep this info, because it only can confuse people
Starting with the Forceware 100.xx drivers, the SLI capability in case of graphic cards with different amount of VRAM has been removed.
If I remember right, the latest one "CoolBits enabled" was Forceware 84.xx
It was 7 years ago ...

SLI between N580 lightning and N580GTX TWIN FROZR III 15D5 POWER EDITION/OC

Hi,
I am gonna upgrade to a 30 inch monitor and run a resolution beyond FullHD and this will require some potent GPU calculation power!
I already have a MSI N580GTX Lightning edition for a long time now but this card is nowhere to found anymore these days, however the N580GTX TWIN FROZR III 15D5 POWER EDITION/OC is the follow up card of the lightning extreme edition.
Will this SLI setup work between these 2 cards?
The Power edition look like a re-branded variant of the lightning, even the specs are the same (its down clocked a few steps though)
Please only advise if you are certain, it would be a waste of my money if this SLI will not work!
With kind regards,
Rick

no its the first (non extreme) edition
Btw i edited my earlier post with links and more comment...
Aha, it should be not a problem to work together then.
Quote
The only differences i can find is the P4 hardware (seperate fases) in the Lightning....so basicly they ARE the same but.....the Power edition would most likely overclock less then the lightning...?
Those are cards features, they are not related to SLI support

MSI R9 280X Twin Frozr Editon Problem can anyone shed light on it please?

Hi everyone i hope i am posting this in the right thread as i currently am in a bind.
My card has given me a white screen again, this makes it 2 times now this week and i am wondering what my options are here as i have no second card to use and cant be without my PC and be without gaming.
it happened when i closed down a game and once while alt tabbing a screen.
After a reset it is back to normal no white screen.
From what i can see it is not overheating the fans are turning it has been seated well and i have not over clocked it at all with the MSI gaming program and the driver are up to date.
What would you guys think is going on? do you think it is an RMA for me.
Thanks in advance for the help everyone.

MSI Twin Frozr iii - R6970 - Cannot boot

Hello,
When the fan speed profile (slider on the graphic card) is on "Performance", my PC fails to boot.
I tried updating my Motherboard BIOS and have the latest graphics drivers.
Do you have any idea why this could be?

Thank you for your reply.
Actually, i noticed that there is some hard disk activity and the num lock key is functional. So the PC must be booting up but the display is coming blank. My fans also run at normal speeds while the pc is on. When i switch to the "silent" fan profile, i can see the motherboard flash screen and the display comes up normally.
And yes. it is a R6970 Lightning.

Msi gtx560-Ti Twin Frozr 3 Issues

Hi,
My friend just sold me is msi gtx560-ti Hawk one week ago.The issue is that when i play a games for exemple Payday 2,after 5 minute of gaming my pc does a random reboot.
Spec:
Motherboard: Gigabytes 970A-DS3P
CPU:AMD Fx-8350 Eight-Core
Video Card:Msi gtx560-Ti Twin Frozr 3 Hawk
PSU:RocketFish 550W
HDD:2011 Seagate Barracuda 1tb
On the video card there is 8 red del light up(Bad?) and in the pc of my friend they were blue.Is it a problem of PSU?
Edit 1:I googled on internet and find nothing helpful so i decided to post in on the ''official'' forum

The only thing that was in my pc before i sold it was my PSU.
I just received last week from Ncix my CPU,8gb RAM and the motherboard.
The video card specs recommend a 600W PSU,but before buying a 700W PSU (just to be sure) i wanted to know if its really the problem.
I read on some forum that the led shows the power charge.So logically if its all blue its fine and if its all red its not?
Edit 1:The PSU was working very well in my old Pc.
Motherboard:Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H
CPU:AMD Phenom II X
Video card:Sapphire Radeon HD 5850
Ram:4gb ddr2+

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC "No Signal"?

Hi guys!
I've just bought the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC, but my monitor dosent recieve any signal at all. Both power cables are plugged in, and my PSU should be big enough to manage it.
The slot works fine with my old card, a HD 5450, so is my card faulty?
Win 7 32 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M USB3 rev 2.0
Proccesor: Intel Core i5 2.80
PSU: OCZ600MXSP 600W
Memory: 4GB

The card has two power cables, which both are plugged in. If not, a red LED lights up in the card.
I've just removed the power cable form the mobo and removed the battery from the mobo to do a clear CMOS, but unfortunately with the same results. The fans are running, but my screens says "No Cable" and goes completely black

Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II - Problem

Hey folks,
Im having a problem with my Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II video card.
I can't make it work with my monitor, all I get is "No signal detected"
I know the monitor is fine, because I used it as it worked all good when I plugged it into
my laptop. It's a BenQ G2222HDL monitor btw. It has one VGA (D-sub) and one Dvi-D input.
So i've tried all types of cables (VGA, Dvi-D and even Hdmi cables), and
still, can't get no signal. What can I possibly do to make things work?
Also, my computer acts a bit wierd when it's starting up. Usually, I would turn it on, then it would turn itself off really quick. Then I turn it on again,
and it goes just fine and runs smoothly. After I changed the position of some RAM modules
and such, it changed. Now when I turn it on, the fans spin for 1 and there's just a tiny bit of noise until
it turns itself off. Then I turn it on again, and it goes just fine with all fans and stuff spinning.
So, I really need some help!

More background info; I build the computer myself. Everything went mostly fine, except for that I had to spend quite a long time to get everything right.
I started the machine, and it all went just fine (except for rebooting and then running smoothly, as it has done ever since). I did the MemOK! test and everything seemed to be fine. But when using the VGA cable that came with the monitor, I couldn't get any signal detected (I used a VGA to DVI adapter to plug the VGA cable into the Msi 560 TI videocard). I used 2 different adapters, but nothing happened. I tried with a HDMI cable, just to test, and that did not work either. Then, I figured out I should order a DVI-D cable.
So I ordered the cable, and went on to plug it into my monitor and my video card, no adapters needed. Still, no signal at all! Tried a different monitor to check if it was the monitor's fault. Nope, still no signal. Frustrated, I used the VGA cable again and tried to plug the monitor into the laptop, which worked just fine. A clear, bright image appeared. But not with my desktop computer with the Msi GTX 560 Twin Frozr II. Nothing works when I plug in the cables etc. No signal at all, although the computer itself seems to run just fine with fans spinning up and the different components making noise etc. Thus, I figured out there probably was something wrong with my Msi Geforce GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II. Now I dont really know what to do.
Does anyone have an answer/advice/possible solution to my problem? I'm getting a tad frustrated now, seeing as I bought this computer 2 weeks ago and still haven't got to use it yet.

Hp pavillion dv7-3065 laptop will not turn on - led light blinks, ac's light on?

HP Pavillion dv7-3065 with Windows 7.
I fell asleep two days ago, and when I woke up yesterday, my laptop was off. (The battery very well may have died while I was sleeping, or just shut off on its own. I don't know which.) I tried turning it on, but nothing happened... except for the lightning bolt (LED light) blinking three times. No noises inside, blank screen, nothing aside those three blinks.
For the record, I've already tried removing the battery. I've also tried removing the battery, removing the AC cord, and holding in the power button for 30+ seconds. It didn't work.
I've tried removing the battery and running off AC. This still doesn't work. However, the laptop recognizes that it's plugged in; the little light by it is consistantly on. I've also tested my laptop with another AC adapter just to be safe. Nothing.
My laptop has been tested without harddrive/etc, but I'm still at a blank. I don't know what else to do. My boyfriend, who's in school to be an IT, took it into his teacher, who messed around with it, and came up with a few conclusions.
He believes that because the lights are flashing, he's confidant that my motherboard is fine. He said to replace the battery, and if that doesn't work, solder the ...I forgot what exactly, but basically it's the charging connection. I forget what exactly. My apologies there.
However... I feel like replacing the battery would be a waste of money... Because regardless of battery, the laptop should still turn on with the AC cord. My boyfriend intends to bring this up and ask if he can just skip to the other thing anyway, but he doesn't have that class again for a week, and I'm at a loss of what else to do. Aside from that, his teacher says there's a limited number of other things that could be wrong...
I was hoping to get some more input...

This won't help you out, but I am experiencing the same problem... I am gonna look on this post to see if you get an answer!
I have the same problem! Except I did manage to get mine to turn on. After doing the hold the power down thing. Nothing happened. I did leave the lap top on cause I was irritated and walked away, about an hour later it came on. It let me turn it on and off a few times. Then stopped. Then leaving it sit on stopped working too

Help with some strange artifacts - N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC

hi and firstly thanks for any assistance on my issue
I bought a new N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC card about a month ago and I have recently noticed some strange artifacts showing up.
Basically, I get light, almost pastel coloured blue and red 'ghosting' in 3d games (eg TF2, RO2), noticeable where the background is dark. They are only noticeble when I move in the environment, but they leave short-lived (perhaps 500ms), thin outlines of the edge of the image on the screen. The image might be the edge of a person graphic or the side of a wall for instance. These artifacts don't show up in 2d screens and the machine I have is perfectly stable.
I've got the latest official nvidia driver (280), don't overclock the unit and have a corsair hx 750 ps. I have read the faq and it suggests upgrading the bios, but considering it's only a few weeks old is there any other thing I should try first?
cheers!

BIOS appear to be already latest version. It use different one.
Try to apply VGA reference clocks with Afterburner,
then retest

Problems with msi r6970 lightning

Hey guys I am having big issues with my 6970 lightning. Ok first I got this card to replace a second sapphire 6970 that I was running in xfire with another sapphire 6970. I since gave one of the sapphires to a relative. When I first got the lightning all went smooth benched it in a single card config then added my other sapphire 6970. No issues. Out of nowhere things rapidly went downhill. I first received a crash in grfs as I loaded shattered mountain. Froze with a sound loop then the screen turned black with a continued sound loop that eventually stopped. Reset the machine figuring it was the OC. On the lighting I had it set as 985/1400 fan 80% voltage @ 1.300 vlts. Prior to the crash I used a combo of heaven 3.0, kombustor and 3dmark 11 all passed numerous loops without issues. Again thinking it was the oc I down clocked to stock then fired up grfs multiplayer which crashed n froze on the main menu. I then ran heaven and after 10 min a solid black screen that eventually recovered throwing a display driver has stopped responding but has recovered. Now I knew something was up.
I then ran kombustor same issues black screens sometimes a 8bit Nintendo looking screen when u need to blow in the cartridge. After countless hours of stress testing my CPU with prime, memtest, and Intel burn, I ruled out my other hardware as being the cause. I ran 2 hours of prime, Intel burn passed the maximum stress test, memtest passed until about 500% on each iteration (7 to be exact) windows version. This both with my OC and at stock. Here's for the finale I have a second machine (ill include both machines at the bottom of this post) I installed the lightening in the second rig not one single issue no black screen, no 8bit Nintendo crashes nada. Again I've tried every fix known to no prevail. Reinstalled drivers 12.10 rolled back to 12.8 used driver fusion to clear out the old remnants, swapping cards and systems. The lightning ran flawless in the old rig for hours. Now the sapphire card runs all the gpu stress tests I've tried flawlessly in the main rig at stock and OC. so I assumed the lightning was dying. But I tried the lightning in my second AMD pc (with a MSI mobo coincidentally) and it ran heaven, kombuster, and games without a single crash.
The only option I didn't try was taking the PSU out of the main pc and using it in the older pc to rule out the psu. But that still don't explain why the sapphire card works perfectly in the main rig and not the lightning. The second fix I didn't try was updating the mobo bios I'm using the f3 gigabyte has up to the f6 but I never had issues b4 and my sapphire 6970 and when I had two in xfire, ran perfect in the main pc with stock and oc settings, with the current PSU and bios. Food for though, gpu temps sapphire 45c to 50c idle 75c to 80c load. Lightning 41c idle 70c to 74c load. Right where they need to be. Another thing to add I originally had a gigabyte Odin 1200 PSU that got ... Well let's say replaced (garbage of a PSU) the HX750 meets AMD requirements for xfire 6970s this almost rules out everything except BIOS or worst case the lightning just ain't compatible with the gigabyte mobo. Any ideas how to get this card to work after all the testing I know its not defective. Sry for the long post.

I also use cpuid hwmonitor to check temps n volts 12 vlt rail is at 12.05 during load. The gpu load temps on the lightning nvr exceed 72c at stock and 76c with the oc. Should I get a new mobo? Compatibility issue? I was looking at a asrock 990fx extreme 3 as this would allow me to upgrade my CPU later if I choose. I am on my current main pc bc bulldozer didn't grab me. Some benches r less than the x6s, my two 6970s perform btr than a single 7970 for my needs and the only increase I would see is if I got two 7970s that's way to much coin n would be bottlenecked by my current CPU I'm sure. Any ideas? I'm at a loss

Nvidia GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr driver hanging.. even after fresh OS install

Dear,
Sorry for my english
I'm facing issue with my Nvidia GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II, and I saw other do have...
My config :
When using windows, or games (I'm Crysis addicted ) I get a screen freeze, a blank (black) screen and after seconds a video driver message saying that it recovers the display as it were not responding anymore....
It happens without reason to me and temperature isn't related as it happen even with a temp of 45°c....
I've tried :
Updating driver, downgrading them,
Re installing Windows (x64),
Updating motherboard Bios (P55a-UD3R Gigabyte with latest bios version)
Flashing my OCZ Vertex 3 SSD (a pain ....)
Upgrading my power supply to a Corsair 750GS
Nothing corrects the problem.
At last I 'm looking to upgrade video bios but I don't want to brick my precious video card...
So I'm requesting your help to use "THE" good file version of video bios using NVFlash 5.118 for Windows for example.
Overclocking isn't my goal, stability is...
Thanks a lot for your help... as I ain't find video bios file on MSI support site....

You are lightning fast !!
880 -> 822
1050 -> 2000
I sure have done an error here !!
Modification will be done as soon as I get close to my Crysis PC... (ETA 18h00 GMT+1 )
880 -> 822 won't be noticable
1050 -> 2000 will result in a massive perf improvement ??
I red :
4000M hz !!!!
I believe it's all wrong...
