I know that no card is the same that's not the issue and like i said this card is a great card.
But can you tell me than why is it that when i looked at reviews they get 150+ on the clock and mem +600 when people who bought this card only manage to get in between +20 to +50? they did not use the aux voltage.

Overclocking is a matter of the individual sample. Some cards of the same model might clock great while others won't.
Quote from: hurricane28
I heard that the first cards would be able to put more volts but the later cards having volt locks because its high potential?
If so could i get the older bios versions of that card or get another bios on my card?
It just don't seen fair that the first cards could overclock way better than the latest cards.
and it is not that some cards are better ans some are not because this is my second card i get because i was thinking it was broken because of my problems.
Nvidia forced all card manufactures including MSI to remove GPU overvoltage above 1.175v. It has nothing to do with potential but Nvidia dictating to stop overvoltage. MSI is therefor not allowed to offer unlocked versions. Again overclocking is a matter of the individual sample and your 660ti PE is already higher clocked by default than most other manufacturer cards could do with manual oc.

Hey there,
Noticed that my BIOS drivers were outdated so i updated them (Z68A-GD65 G3, version: 25.8), after all the reboots i logged on my computer, started teamspeak, and while searching for the teamspeak room the driver problem happened again.
Anyway, my power supply is NOX Hummer 80 600W, model: HUM80600.
The problems started on September of this year i think? I've had this computer for almost 3 years now. I have the latest Nvidia drivers, and this still happens, i've tried downgrading, fresh installing, and nothing worked.
Graphics card: MSI GTX 670 Power Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 DirectX11, S/N: 602-V284-02SB1207063830.
I'll try it tommorow if possible.
Thank you for the attention.

Can I Overclocking MSI B85M-G43

Can I Overclocking MSI B85M-G43 with Intel Pentium G3258? I'm A Starter....

You should be able to, with BIOS v3.7 or maybe later though there is no mention of it on support page.

MSI GTX 670 Power Edition/OC max temperature?

I've had a MSI GTX 670 Power Edition/OC working great since October 2012, no problems even with the most demanding games.
But now the summer heat has come (it's 40°C in the shade) and I've been getting crashes (classic TDR, no video signal, windows reboots) when the temperature of the GPU gets to about 80°C. If I leave the case open, it never reaches that temperature and works great.
I can't find the temperature specs for this card, but the reference GTX 670 should run up to 97°C.
Is this normal? What is your maximum stable temperature?
P.S. I don't overclock, anything.
Thank you

Hi there,
the only think I could suggest is that ...
1st. do you have adequate cooling in your system..i.e. case fans etc,etc, and to ensure theres no obstruction to cooling fan on vga card, always an alternative is to install what they call an exhaust blower fan place that directly underneath your card and that will extract heat away, I had the same issue with my MSI 6570 card and as soon as I added an exhaust blower mine runs at 33oC and i'm pushing my card to the extreme and temp still stays the same... if that fail then your gpu cooling issnt running fast enough to supply adequate cool air...
I hope that will help you

GTX 660 Ti Power Edition HELP!!!!!!

I recently purchased a GeForce GTX 660 Ti OC Power Edition and I have been experiencing issues with it. I have only had it for 3 days and every once in a while, when I'm playing a game, my monitor makes a strange noise and my entire computer freezes and restarts itself. This has never happened before I installed the 660 Ti so I figured it had something to do with that. The card is running everything completely stock out of the box. I haven't tampered with anything in Afterburner or anything. This is my first mid/highish end card so I'm basically a complete noob when it comes to setting it up. Another problem I was thinking about could be the PSU, but I literally JUST purchased it 1 week ago and everything else seems to be running fine. As I said, I'm a complete noob when it comes to computers so I need all the help I can get. And I don't want to RMA the videocard until I know for sure that that's the problem.
OS: Windows 8 64 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H 1155 Intel B75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX
Processor: Intel Core i5-3470
Ram: 8 GB (sorry don't know specifics)
GPU: MSi GeForce GTX 660 Ti OC/Power Edition
PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-750 750W Continuous @ 50°C, 80 PLUS GOLD Certified, Single +12V Rail, ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92, SLI Ready, CrossFire Ready

yes it could if its sending a very badly scrambled return signal thats creating garbage signals that are looping that are then sent from the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit(on the Graphics card)) to the CPU(Central Processing Unit (Main system processor)) and its causing a malfunction as it can make no sense of it so its shutting down itself to prevent damage and get rid of the BAD DATA its receiving!
just try another Monitor and see if it no longer does the auto shutdown then you know that the Monitor is faulty or if the different one does it too then maybe your Graphics card is Faulty but without testing it out you have no idea which as it could be either! (but the Noise from the monitor is odd and is more likely a monitor that cant handle it as it has a fault)

MSI N560GTX-Ti Power Edition Bios

Can someone pls tell where can i download bios for this graphic card coz on MSI web site i cant find it anywhere. Maybe there is some bios that is compatible with that card but i dont know witch one coz i am afraid not to mess up the graphic card.
Can some1 help pls.
Sry for bad english.

Well i removed the 301.42 with driver sweeper now, and instaled the 285.62. Ill try that one now.
Well there are a lot of cards on the web that are faulty than, coz there is a lot of ppl with the same problem like mine and they cant find any solution. I saw few of them wrote that they did a bios flash and problem solved.
Last VGA was Gigabyte N8800GTS 512, with this card i was not able to play BF 3, after that card got damaged i borrowed friend of mine his Gigabyte 460 GTX and BF 3 worked like a charm. Few days ago i bought MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr III Power Edition i did play for 2 days and it just started to minimize and lock so every time i had to kill it in task manager.
Maybe i should buy a stronger PSU i dont know what to do anymore. :(

MOVED: Can't overclock e8400 on an MSI P7N 780i mobo

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=115136.0

Pchas,
If by what you mean is being able to run RAM at a 1:1 divider with your FSB, then you are absolutely correct. When overclocking, this is well known to be the most desirable means in which to run your RAM, as slower RAM can bottleneck performance, while faster RAM won't result in any realized, every-day-use performance benefit (with a Core 2 system.) Therefore, a 500mhz FSB (2000mhz rated, quad pumped) would pair best with RAM running at 500mhz (1000mhz DDR2, hence, double data rate.) However, whether or not the memory is SLI enabled has nothing to do with how fast your RAM can run.
I'm not sure I see the value in finding max FSB by reducing the processor multiplier to its lowest value. It doesn't reflect any real world usage scenario, and it greatly reduces the amount of stress placed on the FSB, such that you'll be able to bench quite a bit higher than what can be obtained when tuning for an overall overclock. As such, it really doesn't tell you anything useful about the boards capabilities. M goal is to see whether or not the board will support a stable 400-450fsb with my Quad running at a full x9 multiplier, hence resulting in a 3.6-4.05ghz quad. I know that the reference boards have no problem doing this, and I'm hoping the MSI will pull through, if not with the latest BIOS, then with one coming down the road. Being able to support my overclock while providing a superior power-phase & delivery system would make this the hands down, unqualified best high-end nForce board (680i or 780i) yet released.
Mark.

Need Advice Overclocking my R6850 Cyclone Power Edition

Hi guys, thanks for your time
so, i just got this R6850 with Cyclone cooling, it comes already OC'd at 860 MHz, but I read on some review that it's capable of reaching 1000Mhz with proper voltage tweaking, and since I'm a greedy bastard (aren't we all? ) I want all the juice I can squeeze out of this thing.
I got Afterburner installed, but I know nothing about overclocking beyond the basic definition of the word, although I don't think I'm gonna need to do anything more complex than adjust the slider under core clock (btw, core voltage is grayed out with no value, is this normal?)
how far can my power supply unit get me? I don't think cooling is an issue, as I've played several games so far with maxed settings and GPU temp (according to Afterburner didn't exceed 68c)

thanks for the reply, I tried that, but it didn't work, core voltage and shader clock (which I forgot to mention earlier) are both grayed out and showing no values.
I figured it might be the drivers, so I uninstalled the drivers that came with the card (v10.11 or something like that), restarted and then downloaded and installed the latest drivers,.. still the same

No signal on msi 670 gtx power edition

hi just recently built a new pc,
i,m 98% everything is connected as it should be
my problem is when i switch on, all fans work, graphics card fans work, cpu fan etc
however i get no signal on my monitor, i dont hear any beeps at all just all fans spinning
just to add ive used JPWR1 for the HDD , POWER switch, and reset switch are plugged in on JPWR1 there are nothing on the JPWR2 (is that right) ?
ive tried just using motherboard dvi only without graphics card connected,
ive tried just about everything i can think of
abviously i cant get into bios to update bios,
am i missing anything to try? it says in the user guide the HDD should be + and - and the reset swtich should be - and + so abviously the lettering is facing up on the HDD and on reset is the opposite way if you get me, (power connectors to motherboad
could this be a cause why i,m getting no signal, or is it something more ?
ive tried using hdmi on my tv, i,m currently using dvi on my monitor to pc, (just wanted to try hdmi, to see if it would make any diffrence, but still get no signal
dont get why all fans are sinnning on everything n get no signal, if it was motherboard i guess fans wouldnt be spinning?
any advice would be helpful

hi ive tried all of the above apart from trying graphics in other pci slot,
my question is why doesnt it boot up using the onboard graphics? (670 gtx is removed when using onboard graphics) i,m thinking its a motherboard fault, as it should have no issue using onboard graphics? or am i wrong, i will try the other pci slot to rule it out but to be honest if i cant get a signal using onboard i cant see my graphics working on other slot.
but its worth a try before RMA
Yep, my on-board graphics worked fine even with the 670 installed. The on-board graphics were set to 'only if no external gpu detected' so my 670 even though booting up, fan spinning and no error beeps was not getting detected. Very strange.
I also tried the 670 in another computer with a x16 socket and it worked.
I have ordered a new MSI Z77 G45 MB in the hope that it will work in a board of the same make as my 670.

660 ti Power Edition DOA?

Hey, I was really pumped to get this new card so I installed it and was ready to go but my motherboard gave me a beep code of 1 long 2 short which from what I gather means a video problem so I tried reseating it a couple times and no good. The fans are spinning but I just get the beep code and nothing on the screen.
I popped my 470 gtx back in and it boot up with no problem.
My motherboard is a MSI p67A-C43(B3) and I tried updating the bios to the latest. Also my power supply is a 850w Seasonic so no problem there.
I'm not sure if there is anything else I can try, but I thought I'd ask....I've never had this happen with a video card before. It would really suck if it was dead since that means I just brought more work onto myself and I will probably have to pay extra to ship it.
Thanks.

Hi just as a note I see that suggested all the time take a part that does not work and try it in a friends system. The only problem with that is what happens if that bad part blows his board he wont be a friend then. Best to take it to a small local shop and ask them to test it while you wait much safer

MSI Cyclone R6850 Power Edition - Freezing and Driver recovery problem

I've just built a new Gaming PC and am having stability issues along with lower than average benchmarking results.
Randomly, the screen will freeze, sometimes go black then re-appear and an error message from the system tray will appear “display driver stopped responding & has recovered”. The system will then operate as normal until the next freeze.
I have tried all versions of the 64 bit drivers available from the MSI website, with no change in the issue. 3DMark11 benchmarking results are several hundred points below average, the same with Furmark, as the below results show;
My system is running at stock, out the box speeds, with no overclocking on my part. The components are listed below;
Cooler Master Elite 430 Case
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 600W Modular Power Supply
GigaByte GA-P67A-UD4 (Version B3) Mobo
Intel Core i5 2500K unlocked
4GB 2x2GB Corsair CMX4GX3M2B1600C9 Memory
Coolermaster HYPER 212 PLUS COOLER
MS Win 7 Home Prem 64bit OEM
I'm happy to run any diagnostic/benchmarking software to help identify the issue.

Thanks for the quick reply,
Unfortunately, I dont have access to another system that would be able to power the card.
I've already booked an RMA with the vendor, but am worried that they will reply with "sorry, the issue is with configuration/software" and be landed with the shipping expenses. The vendor is www.scan.co.uk

PC suddenly restarts while playing games MSI 660Ti Power Edition OC 2GB

Hi,
I have the following problem since I replaced my graphics card (before 9800GTX+, now MSI 660Ti Power Edition 2GB) I got 3 random restarts while playing games. The computer is not overheating, the CPU's temperature is around 58-59 degrees after running prime95 for 3 hours. The graphics card temperature is 70 degrees after running furmark for 1 hour, the stress tests never failed, just when running games. The computer has been stable. For case cooling im using (2X12cm front, rear 1X14cm below 1X12cm and above 1X12cm +1 X14cm).
I got two random system restarts while playing Doom 3 BFG and one system restart after playing Wolfenstein for 4 hours. The PC just restarts itself.
What could be wrong? I have no more ideas? Should I replace the CPU cooler (im running the stock CPU cooler but all stress tests dont show overheating?!)
Is it possible that the PSU is the reason, but it should be strong enough ...
The system:
GA 870A-UD3
AMD Phenom II 1090T (cooler box)
MSI GeForce 660Ti Power Edition OC 2GB
12GB RAM (12GB Kit 3X4GB DDR3 Kingston Genesis 1600)
Samsung 256GB 840pro
WD Blue 500GB
Thermaltake Thoughpower Q-Fan 750W PSU
Housing NZXT Source 210 Elite
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Thank you.

The temps for the graphics card are quite normal. I have the same one and under load it will go to 70 to 75C, depending on ambient. What Nvidia driver are you using? Did you do a new driver installation?
If I look at your CPU though, then you are very close to the max CPU temp and throttling may invoke the shutdown http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=640&f1=&f2=&f3=&f4=&f5=&f6=&f7=&f8=&f9=&f10=&f11=&f12=
62C is max.
Could also be your PSU that's not completely stable and continuous power draw may cause Overcurrent or overtemp protection. Speculating here as to probable causes.
Another possibility is your RAM. That should normally be paired in 2's. Have you tested with only 2 modules ? Remember we don't support that MB here, but its just another test I would run. But you would know, probably having run it like that with the previous GPU.

20A 12v enough for R7850 Power Edition?

Hi,
I recently purchased an MSI R7850 2GB Power Edition.
It's already installed, and I'm running Borderlands 2 very well. However, my PSU has only 20A on a single +12v rail. Is this enough?
When I ran BF3, I got white "snow" dots everywhere on the screen, but I'm not sure if this is related...
Thanks for the help.

Which driver do you use?
I ask because of the 12.10 driver does not run properly with the 7800 cards, but the 12.11 beta does
http://www.msi-forum.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=103009
sorry it is German but you can see the photos.
Thanks for the reply! I tried the 12.11 drivers last night, and the issue is still there.
Here is a screenshot of my machine playing Witcher 2: http://postimage.org/image/6ew87dn85/full/ - If you look at the helmet on the right side, you can see a lot of dots. You can also see them on the character's clothes, and in the top-right corner (they look like circular outlines in this section)Pretty much everywhere! If I play on LOW setting, the dots are less strong, but still there.
Here is BF3: http://postimage.org/image/3kbhepavp/full/ - As you can see, the issue is pretty terrible on this game! It makes no difference what settings the game is on.
To summarize:
Not the PSU (brand new Corsair)
Not RAM Timings
Not the Catalyst Drivers or Mobo BIOs
Not overheating
Not the MOBO/CPU (brand new)
Thanks for the help so far, but any other ideas? I have a feeling this brand new card is faulty.
