MSI 280X Voltage Locked - Help Please

hi guys
I purchased an MSI 280X Gaming OC GFX and would like to undervolt it
I read on forums to try this bios: techpowerup.com/vgabios/146769/msi-r9280x-3072-131009.html
which i did with ATIflash in DOS, i switched to position 2 on the small switch (switch left direction to back of case), it flashed and said successful but when i boot its just a black screen and no output
when i put the switch back to position 1 (switch right direction to front of case) it works fine with the original bios (015.042.000.003.000000 )
any ideas why i cant boot from switch position 2 with an older bios? is my card faulty?
my card s/n is: 602-v277-44sb13121xxxx
my aim is to flash an older bios so i can get voltage control in After Burner
many thanks!

Don't know. Ask MSI: >>How to contact MSI.<<
There is nother vbios supporting more features than current vbios TV277MH.380 you provided. To have backup simply flash it on the bricked one. If you can boot your system with onboard/integrated gpu or you have an old spare vga for display boot with the R9 280x switched to the bricked vbios and flash the vbios with your saved one.
That's great. Do you a link to this other vbios please?

MSI R9 280X voltage locked!!!

Hi, I have crossfire MSI R9 280X's which I received recently. I am very disappointed that they are voltage locked, I am using the latest MSI Afterburner 3.0 beta 18. The slider for voltage is locked even though I have ticked "Unlock Voltage Control" and restarted my PC. I even tried "Force Constant Voltage" to no avail. This is very disappointing since I am using a high-end MSI card and it is voltage locked yet my old XFX HD 7850 had voltage control in MSI Afterburner......
Thank you for reading and I hope there is a solution.

I have made ticket to MSI support (shortly : no voltage change supported, but iam running -84mV )

R9 280X voltage lock

Quote from: flobelix on 07-January-14, 07:12:08
No that doesn't help. We only need the S/N without the last four digits. Only those are individual. The rest just stands for the model, the batch and the date of manufacturing.
Hi my card voltage locked too serial without last 4 digits is 602-V277-28SB131107 card is r9-280x gaming bf4 edition and i uploded bios here http://turbobit.net/zkiohc83yw8v.html

Quote from: flobelix on 10-January-14, 23:08:01
There is no overclocking app more recent than Afterburner. What doesn't work with Afterburner most likely doesn't with any other tool. Either new batches of the R9 280X are not supported yet or these are locked and can't be overvolted at all. As nothing helps to unlock the card and MSI says it is not supported there is possibly no way. Simply tell MSi that you are not satisfied with the answer and that you want to know if support will be added later on or if there is a technical limitation.
Thanks for all informations i asked their answer ''Hi, the new R9 280X,the afterburner does not support the voltage. I had been reflect to our company, please patience to wait for a future version of Afterburner.Thanks! ''
The only thing to do is waiting after this answer.I hope they will do it soon.

R9 280x voltage locked

Ok so my first card I was able to get the core voltage past 1.2, now I had to RMA my first card since a fan blade broke . So with the new card I received I cant get past 1.2 volts for core voltage. I am using msi afterburner beta17 to OC/volt tweak. My current bios version is 015.040.000.000.003435. With my old card I was able to hit 1180/1800 with voltage tweak now I cant even get 1160/1700 stable. ASIC is 71.8% if it matters. I'm really tempted to just say F*** it and switch over to a nvidia.

Its not voltage locked. I just think it's an issue with afterburner. Force constant voltage, it will work. Or use TrixX, if you dont want to force constant 3D volts.
OK so I spent a few hours trying to get this to work. I DL'd trixxx and modded trixx. These were able to tweak my voltage to my desire but I hate using them. Good news tho, my card voltage isn't locked =). So I tried the constant voltage on AB, which for whatever reason worked. I don't know about you guys but I really dislike having that constant voltage checked. So I uninstalled everything GPU related and reinstalled AB17 and amd drivers. After all that i'm finally able to change the volts in AB!! I had a really early version of AB17 i'm thinking that was the cause of it.?

MSI R7950 voltage locked?

Hello everyone, I recently added a R7950 Boost Edition, one with a 6+8 pin board to my system for crossfire.
I was able to set core to 1000mhz and mem to 1575 at default voltage which is 949mv for my card. However, I was trying for 1100mhz core to match my other 7950.
Using Afterburner, it allows me to change the voltage to 1100mv, but what I'm seeing is a bit weird.
In the GPU voltage graph, I'll see spikes that go up to 1100mv when I sit there and watch it while in Windows. When I test using Heaven or playing games, the voltage only goes up to 1.088 throughout the whole Heaven session even though I set the voltage to 1100mv.
Even when I leave the voltage at default 949mv, Heaven and games go up to 1.088.
I can't get the core past 1000mhz because the voltage never goes above 1.088 no matter what I set it at during games or Heaven and causes the apps to crash. However like I said above, if I set my voltage to lets say 1200mv, I'll see single spikes in Afterburner go up to 1200mv. During load, it never goes above 1.088mv.
I've tried all this in Crossfire and by using the MSI card alone, the voltage just wont budge :/
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Agp/pci clock locking help please

i have the 865pe neo, using patriot memory with winbond 5ns chip, have no problem running at 250mhz in corecenter, however when i try to o/c in bios, when with the agp/pci clock locked, i can still it increasing up to 80mhz/xxxmhz as i increase the front bus speed of the cpu, anyone having the same problem with this board? will new bios fix this? by the way , i can't manually change the agp/pci clock , it's grayed out and "locked" this ths only option available under "apg/pci clock" there's no manual setting, soeone please help i can bring this board back to get the 875p if thats needed
thanks fo ryou help

Hi tgn,
MSI have this feature locked to prevent us from o/c the CPU multipiler settings. Can't say that whether this is good or bad for o/clockers like us. Unlike Abit which unlocks everything, MSI keep settings to what the mobo detects the CPU model is, i.e, if you're running a P4 2.4, then your Multipiler settings will be 18x with 133 FSB x 4 to make 2400+- MHz, try calculating the mathematics way and you'll know how far you can o/c to.
Corecenter o/cing is another way MSI sets as it will directly show you the speed your CPU is running at vs the multipiler settings.
All the Best... :D!!!

Cannot install lion. "The Disk is Locked" help please!

hi everyone
just a query hope someone can help, i have a k8n neo 2 with a amd 3.5 chip, i just benchmarked my system to see what it was running like and my results were not what i expected, my cpu was just over 8000 can this really be right i gathered it would be over 10000.
maybe i,m wrong but could someone please tell me what the average reading would be for a motherboard and 3.5 chip.
thanks

You were being asked a question in a funny way instead of slamming you directly. As you don't care to answer the question on what you were benchmarking with and the simple fact that there are hundreds of proggies that can be used in benchmmarking we can't answer you as it stands. However since you have taken an attitude about this rather than take a bit of ribbing and giving an answer as well as shouting by the use of all caps... You now have a warning and the thread is closed.
I strongly suggest you read the forum rules as they will explain about things like giving complete info on a post so you can actually receive an answer and not PO'ing off people that could otherwise give you an answer. There is a whole section in the rules discussing curtesy.

MSI 280X Voltage Unlocked BIOS?

Is there a different BIOS that will allow me to undervolt? The one that came with the card can only be lowered to 1.144v from 1.200v but doing this doesn't actually lower the voltage.
S/N: 602-V277-38SB140102
Current BIOS: 015.041.000.000.003435 (113-C3865000-O77)
send space.com/file/t5qf9k

No, there isn't as it seems to be an Afterburner issue.
On another topic someone suggested a workaround:
Quote from: reidy- on 14-January-14, 01:42:43
to help anyone out who is also struggling, you can enable -94mV of undervolting in afterburnerby adding the following statement to the AB profile config file that starts with VEN_1002xxxxxxxxxx.cfg
[Settings]
VDDC_IR3567B_Detection    = 32h
VDDC_IR3567B_Output    = 0
MVDDC_IR3567B_Detection    = 32h
MVDDC_IR3567B_Output    = 1
This will not display properly by GPU-z however if you watch your temps its is clear the voltage change has occured -94 is better than nothing but I would still like to be down to 1v like the 28SB card

MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - help please :(

When i first got this board + my Athlon 64bit 3200+ I just left everything in bios at default, and counter-strike bullet registration was amazing, the FSB clock said 133, (no i did not imagine this as ive had two of these boards and they both said 133fsb when i went to bios).... one day my p.c wouldnt boot up, i did a series of tests and couldnt find what was wrong, i eventaully reset cmos and still it would not boot up properly. So i got a new harddrive and that seemed to solve the problem, only this time when i went to bios instead of the FSB saying 100-280, it said 190-280, now counter-strike bullet reg has totally gone and plays like , oh sure good frames per second but it doesnt feel instant, i want 133fsb back quite desperately, i was hoping one of you kind people could tell me if theres fsb jumpers on my board or how i can get 133fsb back, wont let me below 190 at the moment :(
Thanks

below are my specs,similar to yours. the issue is in the audigy card .. remove it , try a different card ( live ) if some one can resolve this please let me know too..
I have a problem ,when ever I boot my system hangs ( at sound card) ,if I power down and reboot a few seconds later its fine.if I leave it running its fine,only on a cold start. if I remove my audigy card this problem goes away, I can use other cards ,but not the audigy, did you ever have this issue ,or know any one who has had an irq issue like this( I think its in the irq) ...............

MSI K8N Neo Plat help please!!!

Hi guys, long time browser first time poster on these forums.
I have a few questions which im hoping some of you can help me with, i searched through the message boards but found no answer so I thought i'd write a plea for help.
I recently sold my Asus K8V Deluxe and decided to replace it with a nForce3 250Gb alternative. I ended up purchasing an MSI K8N Neo, which is fantastic apart from 3 particular issues:
1. After the PC POSTs and before the WinXP loading screen, there is a long delay (about 25-30 seconds) where the PC does nothing. No hard disk activity or anything, just sits there on a blank screen. Can anyone help with as to what might be causing this problem?
2. Im using a WD 120Gb SATA hard drive, connected to SATA port 3. Using the 'speed test' tool that is provided under the Nvidia Serial ATA controller, I receive a burst speed rate of 69.9mb / sec and a sustained speed of 52.4mb / sec. This falls far below the claimed 150mb / sec. Is there anything I can do to improve this??
3. In terms of actual system performance its more or less identical to when I had the K8V. I've read in a few reviews that the nForce3 mobo's are faster than the VIA variety. Again is there something I can do to improve this or am I just a gullible mofo?
All drivers are completely up to date and the system is running on a fresh install of XP.
Cheers.

First, are you raiding drives? It seems you are not, so my next question is did you load the drivers off the floppy disk? For sata drives that are not raided, this is an unnecessary step that has caused systems to hang at startup.-solution- reformat without loading these drivers.

That is about right for that drive. The 150 mb/s is just theoretical, not realistic at this point. My raptor at 10,000rpm's gets about 121mb/s burst and 70mb/s average. So if anything your burst may be a little low. The rpm's of the hard drive is makingmore of the difference than the sata.

The Nforce3 250's are generally a little faster than via's but in some areas not so. These difference would hardly be noticed by the naked eye in most instances, only benchmarks. So you sre not gullible, just a little uninformed about the actual speed difference.

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Help Please.

Hi all
I have a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard that im putting together and I have a question.
In the middle of the socket where the CPU sits is a small CPU thermal protection sensor, my question is that the sensor is higher than the socket and will be touching the CPU when it is inserted is this normal or should sensor be bent downward so not to be in direct contact with the CPU?
I would not be asking this question if not for someone telling me not to put any external case sensor on the CPU direct only on the heat sink but in this case its built into the motherboard itself. Best to be safe than sorry I thought.
Many thanks

Hi Andy
I too have just bought an MSI K7N2-ILSR. On mine the sensor is bent down so as not to contact the cpu. Was like this when I bought it so I would suggest that it is not supposed to touch processor
