https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151625.0

Hi man,  i also have a gtx560ti hawk, in my case my default  core voltage was  1037mv.   I lowered the voltage to 1000mv and increase the core to 1 Ghz and memory to 2300mhz, this is 100% stable ,  so , first ill suggest you to lower your core voltage to 1037mv and check stability,  if it's stable  , decrease the core voltage more and do some stability tests,  this  also will help with temps, in my case this undervolt reduced my temps  like 4-5° so  the fan is less noisy, althought with my core to 1Ghz ,   this card is great,  you should not have problems if you lower the voltage and even if you do some overclocking like me.

  • Too high voltage on MSI 560 HAWK?

    Recently i used voltmeter to check the core voltage on my GTX 560-Ti Hawk and compare it with Afterburner. Default voltage in software is 1.087 V in 3D (+0 mV), voltmeter showed about 1.228 V. I tried all steps in 12-13 mV from -100 to +50 mV, higher is scared. In all cases the difference between AB and meter is about 138 mV! Is it normal? What voltage is critical? I think this is main reason why my card is too hot (max 80*C in Witcher 2). Or I used incorrect pins for measurements? When you look at V-check connectors (coolers "look down") - left is GPU pin, middle is memory pin, right is PLL, isn't it? Memory voltage and PLL weren't changing when I applied different voltage (memory was 1.590 V and PLL - 1.059 V).
    Now I'm playing at 975/1950/[email protected] V in AB, but real is ~1.200 V. What should I do?
    Should I install MSI APS, or it's just powersave?
    I can't get an answer from some forums
    I have Chieftec APS-700C, Intel Core i5-2500k.

  • MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC BE too high stock voltage

    Hi, this is my first post so please be gentle with me
    I just bought a MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC BE video card which is 960mhz stock speed, but I found out that this card has a too high stock voltage which displays 1.18v in GPUZ and 1.25v in afterburner. I don't think the card can last long with such a high voltage so I want to lower it.
    I try to adjust the voltage in afterburner, it seems it changes in the software (the slide did change). But GPUZ still displays the same voltage.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I've found the solution for that. I downloaded the version 3.00beta9 of afterburner and now it can change the vcore.
    I changed the vcore from 1.25 to 1.05v. Now the card is running at 1050mhz, 57degree with 60% fan speed, cool and quiet. Before was 75 degree and 80% fan speed.
    I'm satisfied now.
    Ive got Afterburner 2.31, its allows undervolting as well. But problem is that in boost mode new values are ignored and back to default. So in that case cant see any sense in doing that. Is that changed in ver 3?

    That's supposed to be that way, you WILL NOT be able to monitor voltage changes with any software tool reading voltages via NVIDIA driver.
    Hawk uses additional voltage controller chip which is adding programmable voltage offset to output voltage of reference NVIDIA voltage control circuit.
    None of tools you've mentioned support that additional chip and just show you expected target voltage (which doesn't match real value in case of adding an offset via that additional chip).
    Furthermore, that additional chip itself also doesn't support voltage readings, it doesn't even know which voltage is on its' input, it is rather simple IC which just trying to modify the input value by specified offset.
    That is why there is no (and there will not be in future, I've seen rumors that I'm working on getting voltage monitoring working on Hawks and I say that's not true) voltage monitoring for Hawks when alternate voltage controller circuit is in use.
    The best thing that can be done to see some form of expected voltage is approximating the output by displaying summ of NVIDIA reference voltage with additional offset, but that's by far not the best solution because both components (reference circuit and additional offset circuit) add its own inaccuracy.

  • MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk SLI Temperature too high

    Hi,
    Two days ago I bought a second GTX560-Ti hawk (Twin Frozr III) to run in SLi with my other (the exact same card). I noticed that the VRAM temperature of one of the cards (I'm guessing the top one, but I'm not 100% sure) got really high. It got to something like 90 degrees celcius. Core temperature was ok for both cards, a little bit higher than when running a single card but I suppose that is to be expected.
    Also when I stopped doing anything when it got to that temperature I noticed that the VRAM temperature wasn't going down very fast.
    I've tried both cards separately and didn't observe those temperatures so I'm guessing the cards are ok. It's only in SLi modes that these have issues. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to fixing this problem, as right not I cannot play any games because I'm worried that the temperatures will become too high.
    It's worth mentioning I have a MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) motherboard.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

    Actually I got a new case and put everything in and did as you said (switched the cards) and got no screen at all.
    If I switch the cards to the original set up it works like I described before. I'm guessing the second card is faulty and I will RMA it.

  • Gforce gtx 560 ti ... too high Temperature and crush

    hi there
    my post is similar at "MSI GTX 560 Ti HAWK Memory Temperature too high???"
    but my graphic card is gforce gtx 560 ti  _ 2gb gddr5   (i can't post external link to let you see wich one exactly)
    when i play to one game my card's Temperature go over 100°c and my screen become black :(
    ...  i'm suree that my card don't reach that temperature and i changed the base fan  with an accelero xtreme plus II, but nothing to do with my problem.
    so i'm there to ask an help
    (sorry for my poor english)
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    i think, there is a problem with temperature sensor
    or it is broken  or ... idon't know .....
    the temperature stay costant on about 78-80°C
    and have istant spike when i play on a game.....
    i saw it with speedfan and with MSI Afterburner.

  • Msi 560 ti hawk settings

    hi, i have just bought the 560 ti hawk and installed it, please can anyone tell me the voltage setting as i have had the graphics freeze on me and two comp shutdowns, the defalt for the voltage is set at 1050 is this corect as i am assured the msi 560 twin frozer 2 that runs very close to the same spec is set to around 950............ thank you.

    Each card is running with own different voltage. The card should works fine with his default voltage.
    If you have some troubles, read >>Posting Guide<< and provide full system specs.
    then also tell more about the issue

    AMD Power Play states are glitchy, and not all videos detect and run with DirectX Video Acceleration.  So max power during playback can end up on the highest power state which is not shown above.
    MSI R5770 Hawk minimum power
    The uP6204 power controller used on the MSI R5770 Hawk design nominally supports 0.5625 to 1.3500V in 0.0125V steps.
    With a stock video BIOS, MSI Afterburner 1.50/1.51 allows the MSI R5770 Hawk to be soft-modded from 1.000 to 1.350V in the roughly 0.0125V steps.
    The video BIOS can be set as low as 0.950V but with no steps between 0.950 and 1.000V.
    MSI Afterburner 1.60 beta 4 or earlier adds the AllowCaptureVoltageDefaults profile setting.  Acquiring, then changing the default GPU voltage allows "resetting" the Hawk to 0.950V in Afterburner for the highest frequency state.  This allows maintaining Power Play transitions and running the max frequency at 0.950V, where Afterburner by itself is limited to 1.000V.
    The max frequency state of the Hawk is 875 MHz 1200 MHz 1.200V.  To have the most flexibilty on control the Hawk, lowest power in the Desktop/HTPC/light gaming, and the ability to manually overvolt/overclock for specific games:  run the Hawk at 0.950V in the max frequency state.
    How-to work around Afterburner and the Hawk design to run 1.000V in the max frequency state. *
     1) in the video BIOS, leave the voltage as 1.200V in the BIOS--which is required for Afterburner to change the Hawk voltages in Windows
     2) in the video BIOS, change the GPU frequency of that state to something less than or equal to the maximum stable frequency at 1.000V
     3) in Afterburner, Reset to default settings **
     4) in Afterburner, change "Core Voltage" to 1.000V
     5) in Afterburner, Apply
     6) in Afterburner, Save to Profile 1
     7) in Afterburner, \Settings\Profiles\2D Profile\ & "3D Profile" choose "Profile 1" ***
     8) on each Windows startup, run Afterburner

     3) in Afterburner, confirm the voltage default setting for 0.950V--capture voltage defaults as needed using AllowCaptureVoltageDefaults mentioned above
     4) in notepad as an Administrator (Win 6.x), change the Hawk's profile configuration file to 0.950V
    example:
     [Settings]
     uP6204_Defaults=D7 20
     5) in Afterburner, Reset to default settings **
     6) in Afterburner, change "Core Voltage" to 1.000V--changing the profile setting to 0950/950 is not useful as of 1.60 beta 4.

     8) in Afterburner, Save to Profile 1
     9) in Afterburner, \Settings\Profiles\2D Profile\ & "3D Profile" choose "Profile 1" ***
     10) on each Windows startup, run Afterburner
     11) in Afterburner, "Reset" to re-enable 0.950V.
    *   UnlockVoltageControl in the primary Afterburner profile's [Settings] will likely be needed.

  • K8N FSR AGP voltage too high w 6800GT?

    Hi guys !
    I've been having trouble oc:ing my 6800GT and one guy told me that the problem is related to my AGP voltage. It's too high thus preventing the GT from running normally at higher speeds.
    The symptoms of oc:ing are 1-3 sec freezings in 3DMark05/03/01 plus crashes "expolrer.exe & drwtsn32.exe". It's not a heat-related problem because I have a NV Silencer 5 mounted on the core which also covers all mem chips. My temp indicator shows me 45-50C idle 60-65C full-load.
    I've heard that the GT requires 1.3V AGP voltage. Unfortunately you cannot lower AGP voltage in BIOS.
    Any suggestions ??

    i have almost teh same setup.  when i first got my 6800 i had same issueso/c and i watercool.
    it wasnt until i swapped my 430true power to wifes 350 enermax that it was straightened out.  ex has like 32a on 12v line
    cpu used to use the 5v line but now almost your whole system rides the 12v line all peripheral cpu and your gt juce sucker.  so those old powersupplies cant keep up with big systems like ours
    also with a64 some games you need to turn cool and quiet off during because the way the code is written it doesnt keep cpu at 100% so the cpu keeps throttling down and up.  i just shortcut in my toolbar for the power control from control panel. it works nicely
    agp 1.5v.  6800gt core voltage is 1.3 ultra is 1.4.
    those numbers are not really related.  your friend may be connecting numbers which are not related.  dont forget 6800 has its whole own mobo essentially with a core and ram and other chips sitting on it. thats what the agp 1.5v goes to.
    hope this helps

  • Is this voltage too high??

    Alright..classic 14" Ibook no backlight problem.
    Tested the inverter cable - cable good.
    Tested voltages going to inverter board: (Should be 0, +5, +12, and 1.5-3.5, from what I've read). Mine test: (0, +5, +16, +3.5ish)
    I replaced the inverter board and still no backlight.
    Before I replace the CCFL lamp, I just want other people's opinions whether the 16volts is too high, and maybe that's burning out the inverter board or the lamp?
    What do you think? Is 16 ok? Should I order a bulb and try that next or would I be wasting my money?
    Thanks in advance.

    OK Rob,
    Here's the troubleshooting from the 14.1 1.42 Service Manual:
    "Display
    No display, or dim display, but computer appears to operate correctly (if dim,
    display shows startup icon and/or desktop)
    1. Remove any connected peripherals.
    2. Try known-good power outlet, power adapter and power cord.
    3. Press F2 (with the fn key pressed and not pressed) to increase the screen brightness setting.
    4. Reboot the computer—hold down the Control and Command keys and press the
    Power button, or press and hold the Power button for 5 to 10 seconds to shut down the computer, then press the Power button to restart.
    5. Reset the power manager by pressing the key combination Control-Option-Shiftpower.
    Warning: Make sure you do not hold down the "fn" key when resetting the
    power manager.
    Warning: Resetting the power manager means you will also need to reset the
    date and time (using the Date & Time control panel)."
    6. Reset PRAM (Press the power button, then hold down the Option-Command-P-R
    keys until you hear the startup chime at least one additional time after the initial
    startup chime).
    7. Connect an external display, and check for video on external display.
    • If video is fine on external display, troubleshoot LCD panel and verify cable
    connections to inverter and LCD.
    • If video symptom is same on external display, replace logic board."
    That would imply a GPU error
    "8. Verify backlight cable and LVDS cable connections are seated properly and that the
    cables are not damaged (refer to display assembly replacement instructions)."
    I flex the cables near the hinge point to do this check. Especially pushing them into compression (to make any broken connections)
    "9. Replace LCD panel.
    10. Verify cable connections and check cables around the hinges for damage.
    11. Replace logic board."
    1 black and 1 grey wire which I believe are the airport antenna, and a black wire for the microphone.
    Also from the Manual:
    "From the bottom of the bezel brace, note the routing of the black and gray antenna cables."
    So those sound like the Bluetooth and Wireless antenna cables.
    The LVDS cable is bundled with the mike (black) cable and is fat and gray.

    GPU-Z and such just read target voltages but not accurat voltages. Since the Hawk is a MSI own design the voltage readings of Afterburner should be the most accurate of these tools. None the less the safest way to readout a current overvoltage is using a multimeter.

  • 865PE Neo 2 LS core cell voltages too high

    hi all,
    I just updated to bios 1.7 and Corecenter 1.58
    There are higher voltages for my Vcore (new value 1.5625v , old value 1.52 v)
    and Agp card (new value 1.7v, old value 1.6v) that the new bios is using.
    Are Vcore 1.5625v and Agp 1.7v too high (ie will damage the cpu and v/c)?
    What is the correct voltage of a 2.8c P4c?  
    thanks,
    Stephen

    I don't think i'm going back to bios 1.3,
    I have set the bios to the lower voltages for agp and cpu
    but when i reinstalled core center 1.58 it shoots the voltages back up
    I am going to play around with speedfan and cpuz for a while.
    i tlooks like the correct P4 voltage for a 2.8c /533mhz is

    hello! i need some help with my msi n460gtx hawk. i overclocked this vga and for unknown reasons my voltages to the core/memory/aux stays the same as before at the default clocks(780/1560/1800). now i'm running at 900/1800/2100 mhz,everything stable(msi kombustor burn-in and a lot of games) and those voltage values: +70mv core/+50mv memory/+20mv auxiliar. idle voltage is 0,875v and load is 1,012v same at default clocks and the overclocking. i guess it must show me some increase in voltage,since i pushed forward those values in afterburner,but...everything looks unchanged! i saw others users having some increase in core voltage,when they overclock and tweaking voltages,but is not my case! i don't know what is happening. really,at the voltages i applied it should stay at 0,890-0.900v idle and 1,050v or above in loading... but my hawk looks like i never touched the voltage sliders! i checked those values with gpu-z and aida 64 extreme edition and both show me the same results. i don't have stability issues for the moment,but i guess it will comes some day if my vga don't work with some extra power applied at those frequencys... i have msi afterburner 2.1 installed. i just tried with afterburner 2.0 and the results are the same... i tried 1.6 and i cannot unlock voltage with it... i use an amd phenom II X4 955 clocked at 3,6ghz,mobo gigabyte 890fxa-ud5 and 4 gb ram ddr3 1333mhz dual ch. please someone tell me if is something wrong with my card or i missed something when i overclocked it? thank you very much for your advices!

    That's supposed to be that way, you WILL NOT be able to monitor voltage changes with any software tool reading voltages via NVIDIA driver.
    Hawk uses additional voltage controller chip which is adding programmable voltage offset to output voltage of reference NVIDIA voltage control circuit.
    None of tools you've mentioned support that additional chip and just show you expected target voltage (which doesn't match real value in case of adding an offset via that additional chip).
    Furthermore, that additional chip itself also doesn't support voltage readings, it doesn't even know which voltage is on its' input, it is rather simple IC which just trying to modify the input value by specified offset.
    That is why there is no (and there will not be in future, I've seen rumors that I'm working on getting voltage monitoring working on Hawks and I say that's not true) voltage monitoring for Hawks when alternate voltage controller circuit is in use.
    The best thing that can be done to see some form of expected voltage is approximating the output by displaying summ of NVIDIA reference voltage with additional offset, but that's by far not the best solution because both components (reference circuit and additional offset circuit) add its own inaccuracy.

    Could try a Multimeter.

  • MSI 280x max temp is too high

    hi,
    I just got 2 second hand MSI 280x from someone. Quickly ran FurMark on these cards (1 after another, not crossfire) and their temperature both pass 95+ celsius degree at 100% fan speed. Both cards in mint condition, only few dust on the heatsink.
    Thinking the heat problem may come from dry thermal compound, I apply some Noctua NT-H1 to one of those cards and its temperature never pass 85 celsius degree. This seems still little too high because this review shows max temp of such card is well under 80C www. tomshardware. com/reviews/radeon-r9-280x-third-party-round-up,3655-4.html
    What could go wrong and How I can make these cards cooler?
    Thanks

    This temperature is fine. There is no issue anymore.

    You can't compare reviews to your real life experience in a working machine instead of an open system used for short benachmark sessions. Temperature results are individual and as said before card now performs well with new paste.

  • MSI GTX560ti Hawk low 3dmark11 score

    I recently purchased MSI GTX560ti Hawk. I ran 3dmark11 on it and on performance mode, I only got P1650 score. The graphics score is very low and the FPS averaged around 6-7.
    Here is my specs:
    Asus P5Q motherboard
    Gigabyte Odin GT 550w PSU
    Intel Q9550 oc@ 3.67GHz
    Kingston DDR2 2x2GB @ 800MHz
    Intel X25-M 160GB SSD
    MSI GTX560ti Hawk
    I know the package box suggested using a minimum 600W PSU but I managed to boot into windows and play games with my 550W. I can run Assassin Creed Brotherhood and Shogun 2 on very high graphic setting.
    Could the very low 3dmark11 graphics score due to the low PSU power supply? Please help  
    Thanks!

    I just bumped the core voltage up block by block from +0 to +150 on Afterburner 2.2.0 beta 3.
    I tested Heaven DX11 benchmark on all of those voltages and there were artifacts in all of them (running VGA default clocks). But there were less artifacts as the core voltage went up.
    Is my PSU not supplying enough power?

    could be , but basically should be more than enough if the stats can be trusted.
    Test the VGA in another machine[who has a better PSU, with strong single rail] then see how its goes there

    try next voltage step and retest
