MSI 580 GTX twin Frozr voltage / BIOS query

Hi everyone
I was wondering what the default voltage is on the core these days for this card. I'm aware that there was a new BIOS a while back to increase it for "improved GPU stability".
I only ask as I've just had to return a Gigabyte 580 GTX OC that was not stable at the stock vid (IE. 1V). Was OK running 1.025v but I did not think / want to have to edit the BIOS myself to get it to run at stock speeds.
So... now thinking about buying the MSI 580 GTX twin Frozr but wondering what the stock GPU voltage is on cards being sold at the moment?
I've has an MSI 460 GTX HAWK for a while now and have been very happy with it (come to that... my mobo is an MSI one now as well). But don't want to have to go through a lot of heartache and wasted time again.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Just thought that I would just say "thank you" for your assistance / comments. It is appreciated.
I did in the end purchase the MSI 580 GTX OC Twin Frozr and all would appear to be fine (2 hours of looping 3Dmark11 should = fully stable I hope). I was just a bit windy having gone through the hassle of purchasing one make of card and having to return it.
The default voltage according to Afterburner is 1.038v, a fair bit higher than the Gigabyte card. I've also noticed that the default fan profile is a fair bit less aggressive than on the 460 HAWK, so don't feel that I need to set one up myself for the 580 (like I did for the 460 HAWK).
So all told pretty happy at the moment.
Thanks again

It's not brand related, its luck and draw depend of unit itself.

  • TRI SLI MSI 580 GTX Twin Frozr II

    Hello everyone,
    Actually running 3 x GTX 570 MSI OC, with reference cooler and getting great temps under load.
    Going to change the three of them with 3 MSI 580 GTX Twin Frozr II.
    I've read bad experiences with this kind of cooler and SLI.
    Is it a good a idea tu run TRI SLI with this type of cooler (Twin Frozr II) or should I look for three 580 with reference cooler??
    Thanks for any answers or idead.
    My specs:
    - Corsair AX1200
    - Lian Li Pc-80
    - Gigabyte X58 UD7

    Thanks for the reply. I watched that video but also watched this one:
    He says the cards get up to 100ºC.
    I know twin frozr works better than reference wit just one card, but with TRI SLI the cards being so closed and the cooler not sending the air out of the case (like the reference cooler does), maybe not the best solution.
    Trying to confirm before I buy the three of them.

    run an "cmd", then goto extracted folder then type:

    you will able to see it.
    Other way is get GPU-Z ==> http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2018/TechPowerUp%20GPU-Z%20v0.5.4.html
    Then save the VBIOS

    N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC is 3.1cm higher than your current N210-MD1G/D3,
    if 2cm is the current away distance from the cooler, the newer card wont fit and with this CPU cooler.
    Solution = Change the CPU cooler to more normal one that will not enter in VGA's personal space...
    A normal CPU cooler should be not such large to enter and spread above the video card personal space....

  • MSI 280X 3G Twin Frozr Gaming BIOS request

    Having a lot of issues with my cards and they run very hot under full load (85-95c) even with side panel off of my case and a 200mm fan blowing on them full speed in a room with ambient temps at 66F, I can forget about putting the cover on for now as even with several 140mm fans in the system and positive pressure my temps go way too high!!

    Please let me know where to get it and what utility to use! I need to have this taken care of before I run out of time to take them back if they are defective.

    yes already began that process, they suspect possible bad TIM and suggested I replace the TIM:
    Under a burn in test you'll experience temperature levels reach 80C, these are normal temps and is considered within the cards tolerances, 85C and higher is considered running a bit too warm, You may try testing each card individually under non-crossfire to confirm if both are cutting off the system, also confirm temps with both, If you're knowledgeable in video cards and heatsinks, you may carefully remove the heatsink assembly to add a fresh layer of thermal compound, this should alleviate some of the heat to get the cards running cooler, providing no physical damage is incurred, warranty will remain valid, you may also warranty the cards and MSI will fix or replace.
    You can use Arctic Silver 5 or IC Diamond, either is suitable to use. Unfortunately there is no information available about the heatsink assembly/installation so do remove carefully.

    @SVet, I can do that if I get any issue. Just installed the card on a new machine and was thinking preventitive. I had heard that the N580GTX/OC had stabilitiy issues that required bios upgrades. Before I start crashing my machine, I was hoping to just go with a bios change that has worked for someone else.
    It can't be used as each VGA is unique and require custom attention if issue occur.

  • 570 GTX Twin Frozr II OC - Ok to flash non OC bios?

    Hi there,
    For stability purposes, is it safe to flash the reference non overclock edition bios for these Twin Frozr II OCs?
    I'm sick of having to use MSI Afterburner to slightly lower clocks and if I RMA the cards, they will just run benchmarks and Unigine... deem them fine and send them back.
    The problems I have experienced are limited to certain DX11 games and lowering the clocks a bit seems to fix the issue.
    I don't mind sacrificing 5 fps if it means stability. I've got SLI so it's not a big deal.

    Deus Ex HR ...crashes
    BF3 ...crashes
    Skyrim ...crash to desktop without error
    Lowering the clocks makes the system more stable and I don't want to use a softmod in Windows, rather not use Afterburner tbh.
    Why I want to know if using the regular Twin Frozr II bios (non OC edition) would be ok.

  • MSI GTX Twin Frozr 780 Fan not spinning

    Hello , 
    Ive had the GTX twin frozr 780 for 5 months now and every 10 to 20 cold start ups of the PC (sometimes more sometimes less) ,the left hand fan will fail to spin causing the other fan to spin at full speed. Rebooting the PC does not correct it, i have to take the side off the PC and gently tap the fan to get it spinning again, then put the side panel back on, i have put up with this for 5 months now and now had enough of it as it seems to be happening more often.
    Please help as this little problem is now becoming very annoying.
    When i purchased the msi 780 i got 2 off them to run in sli and the other 780 is fine and has no problems.
    Ive been a good customer and have bought 4 top end msi graphics cards in the last few years and this is the only one that i've had a problem with.
    When i try and rise a RMA with the place of purchase (DABS.COM) it say on there website that i have to return it back to the manufacturer , but when i try to use the msi website returns service its say that i have to return to the place of purchase ..... please could someone help as this is getting very frustrating now
    many thanks Jason

    Just got off the phone with dabs.com  and there sending a courier in the morning to pick it up for R.M.A .
    Thanks for your help.
    PS just out of interest have you heard of anyone other people with the same issue, as it is very intermittent and was a bit worried that they may not replace it if they can't replicate the fault.      

  • 580 GTX Twin Frozer II SLI heat issue

    Hi.
    I just bought another 580 GTX Twin Frozer II card becouse i thought the first one had artifacts issue.
    First of all, both card gets a artifact look a like after a couple hours playing BF3, i read that this may have something to do whit Nvidia drivers so thats ok.
    Both card has a idle temp at 35 degreds and load temp at 67 degreds, single testing.
    When running the cards in SLI mode the idle temp of mastercard is 46 degreds and load 88 degreds, slave card idle is 35 degreds and load 78 degreds.
    Is this right and safe degreds? I find it strange that the temp is so diffrent from single to SLI, both cards looks stable after som hours playing.
    Also the fan is running at max when it reaches 80 degreds.
    Info about the cards:
    Core Voltage mV - 1025
    Core Clock - 800MHz
    Shader Clock - 1600MHz
    Memory Clock - 2048MHz
    Driver version - 285.79

  • MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC: Graphical Glitches/Corruption

    Hello, I bought and installed an MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC video card one week ago. For the last week, it has been running perfectly, but today when I started up a game the 3D graphics began glitching and showing random stretched triangles and distorted models. While the 3D graphics are running, the monitor randomly loses signal from the video card and occasionally the program will crash with a popup bubble stating that the NVIDIA driver has recovered from a problem.
    After reading through some posts here, I downloaded the MSI Afterburner program, enabled voltage monitoring, and set everything to defaults.
    The defaults are:
    Core Voltage: 1000 mV
    Core Clock : 880 MHz
    Shader Clock : 1760 MHz
    Memory Clock : 2100 MHz
    When I click the button to run a Kombuster stability test, the 3D has the same graphical glitches that I saw in my games. Here is a screenshot:
    http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_880.jpg
    I tried lowering the Core Clock speed and retrying the test. It appears that the level of corruption is proportional to the clock speed. At the minimum clock speed of 440 MHz, the graphics are almost perfect, however a glitch or two will still occasionally show up.
    Here is the test at Core Clock = 705 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_705.jpg
    and at 440 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_440.jpg
    - I've tried bumping up the Core Voltage a little to around 1020 mV, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
    - Lowering the Memory Clock also reduces glitches, but they never go away completely.
    - Even at the absolute minimum clock settings, my games still glitch and crash.
    - I do not have access to another system that I can try the video card in.

    As I type this I'm starting to get corruption right on my desktop too, with random pixels changing color and black rectangles appearing on applications.
    From what I've read in other threads, it seems like my power supply may not be sufficient since it has multiple 12V rails, but before I spend ~$100 on a new one I thought I'd see if anyone had any other thoughts.

    I have an interesting update on my original problem.
    A week after I reseated the card, the graphical glitches returned. I turned the computer off, reseated the card again, turned it on, and it began working fine.
    Another week goes by with no problems, and then a couple days ago the glitches came back. Thinking it strange that the card could somehow take approximately the same amount of time to cause the same kind of bad connection, I wondered if there was something else that was causing the glitches to temporarily disappear.
    I tried rebooting my computer, but the glitches remained.
    I then completely turned off my computer and pulled out the power cord and left it for a couple minutes. I didn't open the case at all and made sure not to do anything that would bump any components. I turned the computer back on - glitches are gone once again.
    So, it would seem that it may in fact have something to do with the power supply and not any bad connections with the card itself - at least, that's the best guess I have at the moment. I leave my computer on 24/7 so it seems like it doesn't like being left on for an entire week with this new video card installed.
    Does this sound sensible? Is it possible for a power supply to slowly fail over several days, only to start working again after being powered down for a couple minutes?
    Did you ever figure your issue out?  I have the exact same issue.  My system runs fine for almost a week...and then my desktop starts artifacting.  The only way it goes away is to unplug my pc (or flip the switch on PSU).  Then it runs again perfectly for nearly a week again and I start getting artifacts and the message stating that the graphics driver has stopped working and then recovered.
    I also run my pc 24/7 and this problem is getting very annoying!  My PSU shouldn't be a problem as I have the PC & Cooling 750W...
    Oh...almost forgot.  I've seen the same issue on 2 video cards now.  RMA'd the first one and the second one does the exact same thing...
