MSI 560Ti HAWK GPU Temperatures Diablo 3

Hello,
I have a 560Ti HAWK GPU running stable at MSI factory settings with -75 core voltage from MSI Afterburner. I am running Win 7x64 with all updates to date. The video driver installed is the WHQL 310.70 from geforce.com. I have a quad core [email protected] GHZ and 4GB DDR2@800MHZ. The motherboard is an Asus Maximus II Formula. The BIOS of the GPU is 70.24.21.00.00 (P1040-0050). I recently flashed the bios with one sent to me by an admin on the site because it had the high memory issue. Flashing the BIOS only affected the memory temperature issue, the GPU temperature remained the same as before flashing.
The GPU gets very hot while playing Diablo 3. Monitoring the temperatures with GPUZ and MSI Afterburner it shows about 89 Celsius with a max of 92. The case is very well ventilated and in other games it does not get over 75. I run Diablo at 1680x1050 with everything on high, AA on, Vsync on, Max Foreground FPS 60.
To test the temperature and the sensors i ran MSI Kombustor for 45 minutes, with OpenGL 3, PostFX on, 8xMSAA, 1680x1050 fullscreen,  and the max temperature was 85 Celsius. The heat coming out of the card felt pretty much the same from when playing Diablo so I can conclude that the sensors are working as they should.
I tried performing a clean install of the drivers and also uninstalling the game. Also I changed the TIM on the GPU about a week ago, it now has Coolink Chilaramic, but the temperature in Diablo didn't improve. Even after changing the TIM the temperature remained the same for other games.
What else can I do to lower the temps in Diablo 3, is the game more GPU intensive than MSI Kombustor?
Thanks

Yes its possible
what PC case you use? do you have enough space inside and proper airflow?
have you tried tried MSI VGA drivers for the card?
I have an Antec P182 with 2x120mm intake and 2x120mm exhaust fan with decent cable arrangement. I tried the latest MSI drivers for my GPU, 306.97 but the temps are the same in Diablo.

  • GTX 560Ti Hawk high temperature and noise

    First of all I want to say "Hi" because this is my first post here!
    Second, I have problems with my GTX 560Ti Hawk! The problems are high temperature and very loud fans! I bought this card less than a month ago and it didn't work properly from the first day but I wanted to give it a chance so I kept it for a while so I could monitor symptoms. I haven't even tried to OC it. I monitored it the way it came from the box.
    In idle card doesn't go over 40°C which is fine by me considering the weather but when I play games it goes all the way to 85°C and it's loud as jet taking off! It's is pretty much intolerable to be near this card when playing games! This product is advertised to be very cold and very silent but now that isn't the case. What bothers me most is that the card was running on open bench table which has very good air cooling ( I made it myself and decreased ~10°C compared to my case). That means that my Hawk would have burned if tested inside the case, or it would fly away!! :D
    Everything is good until card hits 76°C - that's tolerable temperature and the card is still silent, but when it hits 76°C and goes up, all hell breaks loose!
    Card doesn't crash and it runs perfectly (got performance increase ~30% from my GTX 460) but way higher temperatures and noise above advertised makes me wanting to crash it with a sledgehammer! :D
    I RMA it today and waiting for answer which should arrive in two weeks tops (quick when taking money but very slow when support is needed)
    I wanted to ask if RMA is even possible when card isn't crashing??? I RMA cards with similar problems before with no problems but that was Gigabyte - not sure what can I expect with MSI because this is my first MSI product since 2003. RMA should be possible because card has failed to fulfill expectations which are guarantied by MSI...
    If they refuse to send another card or return the money, what should I do???

  • MSI 560Ti Hawk weird monitor behaviour

    I got my videocard as mentioned in the title FINALLY today (it was announced early april) and installed it to my system. The problem is it gave me no signal on my display (Samsung 226BW), so i went troubleshooting.
    Hardware involved:
    MSI Geforce 560Ti Hawk
    MSI Geforce 275 GTX Twin Frozr OC
    Samsung 226BW
    Samsung 940NW
    DVI-D Single link cable provided by Samsung with 226BW
    DVI-A Converter provided by MSI with MSI Geforce 560Ti Hawk
    Regular VGA cable
    To summarize my results;
    1. Using the above mentioned 275 GTX and the DVI cable as mentioned above, there are no problems with both of the DVI connectors on the card regarding operation, works fine
    2. When I replace my old card with the new one, and use the mentioned DVI cable, the left or most outer slot of the videocard will NOT work, gives no signal. The central one or the right one (when installed) works fine.
    3. When i swap my monitor with the one my GF owns, a 940NW which only has VGA input, it works fine with the mentioned equipment above, so a converter and a standard VGA cable, on both DVI connectors on my NEW card.
    4. When i use that  connection (VGA cable + DVI-A converter) on my 226BW, which has DVI in and VGA in, it works on both DVI ports.
    So, to even further summarize my findings, I find that the first or most outer DVI connection will NOT work with my DVI cable OR my monitor.
    Could anyone shed some light on this and help me? Do I need another sort of DVI cable, or do I have to replace my monitor for it to work on the most left or outer DVI connection on the videocard?

    Too me it seems (thinking about it a little more), that my outer or right DVI slot is defective for DVI-D connections. (the actual pins that DVI-D uses are not working properly) When I uses an analogue connection for this port, it works fine, so the analogue pins (which differ from the DVI pins) and with that de analogue connection works fine. When I use the center DVI connection, and my DVI cable as stated above, it works fine, showing both the cable and the monitor work properly. I'm thinking of RMA'ing the card. Any suggestions would be appreciated still 

  • MSI 560ti TWIN FROZR temperatures

    Hi there,
    Last month I bought the card but I a, experiencing high temperatures and subsequent noise.
    I get very good idle temps around 27-28.
    Under load for long period (after 30 minutes in demanding games) the temperatures rise at 83-85 and if I leave the case open just get 2 degrees less or so. The fan speed is set around 62-64 % -it gets too loud higher-  but even if i raise it higher there is no improvement.
    If I use the stock fan settings the temperatures are a bit lower (still get 80 degrees) but the noise is too much as the fan works constantly in the region of 70%
    In combuster after 10-12 minutes I get 80-81 degrees.
    I have an 120mm fan on the front and 2 80mm in the rear.
    Do you think there is something wrong with the card?
    Thanks

    No one can suggest if the card is problematic?
    If the card is working on the level of 80-83 degrees (Nvidia gives 99 as max)  I guess is not dangerous so I might make my piece with it and keep it.
    I do not want to RMA it as I need the computer to work but I will if I have to.
    The temps is not danger for GPU itself, as you mention above the critical temp is 99C for this GPU
    But its too high for Twin Frozr II cooler.
    Etc:
    With standard cooler it should run underload around 84C and this is a normal temp. [your underload temp is the same..  which is not normal]
    The same card, but with Twin Frozr II cooler should run 19C lower than reference cooler [around 65C], let say up to 70C max
    So its not OK, the temp is not danger for GPU, but its not normal, its too high for this cooler.

    issues
    since building this system I have had a collection of issues mostly based around battlefield 3:
    1) when playing battlefield 3 there are a lot of black triangles normally between players and objects, objects and objects etc. This was briefly fixed with a beta driver update from nvidia but started again a few days later.
    2) similar to above but the triangles / shapes are the colors of textures. same as above with driver.
    3) sometimes battlefield will 'minimize' but you are unable to switch back to the game, from here the game has basically crashed and you have to end the task.
    other issues outside of battlefield are:
    4) When playing A-10 warthog the textures go all rainbow colors. (this also happens in battlefield but not as common)
    5) when watching youtube, the graphics card has artifacted and crashed.
    my testing:
    I ran some tests using msi afterburner to measure temperatures and furmark to stress it. It seems that once the card reaches 80 degrees Celsius it starts to artefact, I then lowered the clock on the core and shaders and it still happened. upon lowering the memory clocks it stopped artefacting. and as long as the card is kept under 80 degrees it seems to not crash and a all of my problems (so far) are gone.
    I believe that this should not be acceptable, I paid for a factory overclocked card to save the hassle of overclocking it myself, but have had nothing but problems. Could a bios update on the graphics card fix these issues or should the card be RMA'd straight off the bat?
    Cheers, Dave.

    Hey Svet, Sadly we don't have access to another computer to test on, I'm going to pop down to our local pc store tomorrow to ask if they can test it for us.
    I've been doing a little more testing with furmark and afterburner - I reseated the card today and cleaned up some cabling, tomorrow I'm going to look at increasing the case airflow as we currently have one intake and one exhaust fan in the case.
    after reseating and cleaning the case up a bit the card doesn't reach 80degrees while playing games or running furmark - it does still get to about 75-78. after some more testing and playing around (Forcing it to go above 80 by turning the fan down still causes the card to have issues.)
    I've read about these cards going to 100 degrees with no issues, should I be RMAing this card or work on keeping it cool and find another computer to test it in?

  • 560Ti Hawk Stability Issues @ Stock Settings

    Hello
    NOTE: This has all started within the last day or so, before then it has been working fine
    In the last day or so i have been having stability problems with my MSI 560TI Hawk, running at the default speeds/voltages (950MHz Core, 2100MHz Memory)
    I have tested it with MSI Kombustor, whenever PhysX is enabled it crashes within the first second of the PhysX test of the 1280x720 benchmark test.
    I have run the 3D tests in Kombustor and they all pass, so my assumption was it has to do with PhysX.
    While running the tests sometimes i see artefacts, or random solids where they shouldn't be (hard to explain, but its like jagged points coming off of surfaces), this happens whether PhysX is enabled or not, but usually only on the 1080p test.
    Now the bit that is throwing me off is that when i under-clock the memory to 1800MHz it works fine with PhysX enabled on 1080p.
    Is there something wrong with the memory on this card?
    The weirdest thing in all of this is that black ops crashes when set on max settings, (this uses about 35% of the GPU according to afterburner) but works when i reduce the settings.  However i can run Crysis 2 on extreme settings with both the DX11 and texture patches enabled perfectly fine. I can also run MW3 fine.
    I have also been seeing artefacts while watching videos on VLC player, not all the time but sometimes.
    I have tried it all on these NVidia drivers;
    285.62 - the latest available that is recommended by MSI (on the MSI website)
    296.10
    301.42 - latest available from NVidia
    304.48 - beta version
    I am using the latest afterburner available - 2.2.1
    I have the latest Kombustor - 2.3.0

    Thanks for the reply, my PSU is a new (March this year) Corsair TX V2 650W and i dont have another PSU to try it with, but the reason i dont suspect the PSU to be the problem is since it would play crysis 2 on high settings which uses more power than black ops.
    The problem seems to have stopped after updating to afterburner 2.2.2, which makes no sense to me as to why that would have an effect.

  • 560TI Hawk Code 43 Error!

    Hi,
    I just rma'd my first msi 560ti Hawk (hdmi out issue, they sent me a replacement). i got my new one, but its been acting up and not working at all.
    I am pretty sure i installed everything correctly, i had an amd card so before i plugged in the 560 i removed the amd drivers. then i plugged in the card, both power plugs and i should've been set! first thing i noticed was the red LED lights were on. Then when i turned the computer on the res was low and there were small, horizontal white lines across my screen. I figured i just had to install the drivers and I'd be fine. So, i installed the drivers, rebooted, and the card was deactivated by windows. Device manager gave me this:
    Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
    So, i tried installing the drivers, went into safe mode, and used driver sweeper on my drivers. Rebooted to the same white lines and tried reinstalling the drivers to the same problem.
    I can only think of two things that could be wrong. either:
    A) The card is shot, time to contact msi
    or B) somehow the old, uninstalled amd drivers are messing with it
    Now when i got my first 560ti hawk i had to switch from the same amd card and that went smoothly doing the same steps i did above, so I'm leaning toward MSI sent me a bad card. Does that happen? How do you send a customer a replacement card that doesn't work??
    Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

    In many cases, if you switch from AMD to Nvidia, you need to reinstall the OS.

  • Msi gtx 560ti hawk running always max clocks

    Hello.
    My msi gtx 560ti hawk running always max clocks.
    OC core clock up to 1000MHz gives similar results.
    OC core clock past 1000MHz will stuck it at 1000MHz. Example i set core clock to 1040MHz and run 3DMark11,but
    during the test it never exceeds 1000MHz.
    Card is 15 months old and worked normally so far.
    My OC results before was

    core clock 1040MHz Core Voltage 1.088V
    core clock 1100MHz Core Voltage 1.100V max temps ~78C
    I never raised core clock over 1100 and memory clock over 2275.
    Things i'm done so far
    used 310.90 310.70 306.97 306.23 301.42 drivers
    disabled antivirus
    mounted card out of the case and switched vbios in silence mode
    used Afterburner 2.2.3 Evga Precision X
    reinstalled windows7
    reverted cpu to stock clocks
    Any advice?

    Temps listed are in safe range, if you change the cooling yes this will void the warranty.
    You can try to reapply GPU's thermal paste and to retest, also ensure that you have enough room inside PC case along with good and enough airflow.

    It is switching between 2 different vBIOSes, one is performance one and other is silent one.
    It's related to FAN behavior

  • MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk SLI not available

    I have 2 MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk and when I go into Nvidia control panel SLI is not available as an option.
    Both cards are visible and working properly in both the Device manager and the Nvidia control panel and the bridge is installed between the cards.
    I am using Nvidia driver 285.62 which I have completely removed and reinstalled to try and solve the problem.
    The only strange thing I noticed when installing the cards is that there is a small switch next to the SLI bridge that is marked Performance and Silent. When I opened the boxes one card had the switch was set to performance and the other was set to silent. Looking on the net I found that this was how aggressive the fan control was so I set them both to silent. After running into the problem of no SLI I also tried shutting down the machine and moving both switches to Performance but this didn't fix the issue.
    Motherboard is a MSI Z68A-GD65 and Live update 5 says its up to date.
    Any pointer on where to look would be appreciated.

    K  problem sort of solved. I installed an old nvidia driver 270.61 and it works perfectly. Guess I'll just use the old drive until a game is giving me major issues and then see if a new drive is safe.

  • 560ti Hawk Memory reading very high.

    Hello Svet,
    I'm also having problems with my memory temp reading abnormally high. 560ti Hawk.
    I see you are helping people with a custom vBIOS? What is the change that you are doing and is it basically cosmetic or does it have a deeper function. For instance, is the high memory temperature reported by MSI Afterburner correct? Can it cause the computer/vid card to bug out/shutdown? Does your update hopefully fix that?
    Where can I find my serial number and why do you need it? I looked through the faqs and couldn't find this info.
    My card bios info that I could find via NiBiTor
    Device ID 1200
    Sub vender ID 1462
    Sub System ID 2601
    My Bios version is: 70.24.2E.00.002
    Thanks for any help you can give me, sorry I thought using other threads would help reduce clutter.

  • MSI 7870 hawk 1 ghz edition PC freezing problem

    Issues first started when i updated amd drivers from omega to 15.5 beta for witcher 3. Youtube videos would cause driver to crash and it would recover. It would do that daily several times. It was going like that until today. PC will just freeze now. I swapped GPUs and now at the time of writting im using 5870 and there are no problems. videos are playing normally no freezing or driver crashing. Also only videos would cause drivers to crash and when i was gaming there was absolutely no problem at all. Now (with msi hawk) if i just stick on desktop or go on a website PC would just freeze. If i get into game (for example WoW) i would get choppy fps and it would keep going like that until i exit the game, once i exit the game after about a minute PC will lock itself up. I monitor my temperatures all the time. I noticed that in msi afterburner it says gpu "0 degrees" and it shows that load is 0% when it goes nuts but it will keep rendering the game until i close the game and then PC will just freeze.
    I don't know what to do. Could it be that my MSI hawk is dead? :/ It is only 1 year old from the day i got it from the shop. Is there anything to be done to fix this problem? I just hope it's fixable.

    What were the temps when it was just sitting there? Or playing a game?
    Did you try going back to the older omega drivers to see if that rectified the problem at all?
    Sitting temps were going between 35-40 (it's quite hot in the room) and when i turn on the game it goes to about 50 degrees and hangs there (wow isnt really graphically intensive and doesnt cook gpu like at all). Yeah i reverted back to omega drivers to see if beta drivers were making this problem but no. Problem still exists. Drivers are still omega drivers since reverting and with 5870 works fine. :/

  • N560GTX-Ti Hawk, huge temperatures

    Hi there.
    I have some time GTX560Ti card version of the Hawk. And here begins my little problem, actually, you judge whether this problem. So the card heats up, at 1920x1080, the highest detail (under stress) reaches up to 90 * C in the games. Its average then the 80-some degrees. I'm talking about Crysis 2, and in games like Saints Row 3, Mafia II, GTA IV the temperature below 85 * C. Although the box says that up to 65 * C under stress. Fan speed at 90% are most often (Auto-control), measured the MSI Afterburner and GPU-z. Changing the speed does not work. Nothing on it did not hang around. Is quite a lot for this card or not?

I've already RMA'd one of these cards, and this one was worse, plus the fan went crazy at 55% utilization. Everything plays and looks great, but I'm melting my freaking PC with this thing. Finally fed up with the griding stock fan, I purchased and installed a Arctic Acellero PLus II, and it didn't make a flipping difference. I'm some bummed because I built my PC around this card. And now I hate it. Not sure what to do here.

  • MSI R6870 Hawk graphics issues

    Hello, I built my new computer a couple of days ago, with a MSI R6870 Hawk in it.
    Two days ago I played Left 4 Dead 2 with the highest settings (something I would never have dared to do before) and the computer didn't even flinch, I was amazed. However, since yesterday I noticed some very annoying checkerboard-like artifacts flickering at first in TF2. At first I thought it was because TF2 files were corrupt or what have you, but whatever I did, these artifacts wouldn't disappear, and have now spread across various other games. Links to screenshots below, however they do not show the full flickering.

    Of course, the newest drivers are installed and everything. Checked with MSI Afterburner and GPU-Z, and temperatures are around 50-55 °C for all sensors after one hour of gaming, so I don't think it's overheating. No improvement after reinstalling the drivers.
    Any help?
    Other info about the system: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Intel i5-2500k, Asus P8P67, 8GB RAM, etc.

    You got me wrong, respectively I left out a step in my logic. I could find out what's wrong with it on my own and I would find the cause, fair enough, and I didn't rule out that I wouldn't do it. What I meant was that in case it turned out to that the clocks were too high in its out-of-the-box state, I would not be satisfied with the product, considering that I would have dished out the money for this card only to have it clocked down. That's what I meant with counterproductive. Yeah, probably the wrong word indeed but you get the message.
