MSI 670 Power Edition -- need to disable the Dust Removal

I just bought a 670 PE and I wish to disable the dust removal because, having a filtered case that's quite free of dust, it is of no benefit to me and only an annoyance (my system is very quiet, having the fan spin that loud is ridiculous).
It sounds like in the past there was a BIOS on the German website that did this, but I no longer see it there (I tried the one that is listed in the BIOS section there and it does nothing different).
Does anyone happen to have that particular BIOS? Very surprised that MSI does not officially provide this.
Also while I'm at it, has anyone solved the issue with these cards throttling when overclocked? Changing the power limit seems to do nothing. I'm pretty sure it's a BIOS issue.

I run a MSI Z68 GD80 G3 mobo with i7 2600K. 16GB of Corsair Vengeance memory.
Then i read that it could be because i have a sandy bridge and it doesn't utilize PCI.E 3 correctly.
As flobelix stated before, you are limited to PCI-E 2.0 because of your Sandy CPU.
Talking about bandwidth, SLI with PCI-E 2.0 x8-x8 is the equivalent of PCI-E 3.0 x4-x4.
Not very good, but not very bad either.

Your scores are ok.
With a better CPU (i7 3770K), the scores are around 2200 (single) and 3000 (SLI).
Those with higher scores have overclocked GPUs (and CPUs).
Tomb Raider is one of those few games with great SLI scaling (most of the games are not).
As you can see, you get a 70-75% boost in this game.

  • MSI 670 POWER EDITION SLI HELP!

    Okay so i recently bought another MSI 670 Power Edition card. I loved my original and wanted a bit of a performance boost.
    I run a MSI Z68 GD80 G3 mobo with i7 2600K. 16GB of Corsair Vengeance memory.
    So after a few days of testing i get about 10-20fps increase in certain games. Now after comparing my PC to other Computers with similar specs and my cards are faster than theres.
    I am not getting that much of an improvement as i should.
    On unigine Valley "Everything max at 1920x1080" i get a score of 2333 thats with both cards. To me that seems rather low or am i being silly. Also i was watching a video of a guy running the Metro Last Light benchmark and he was hitting over double what i had in terms of FPS.
    Then i read that it could be because i have a sandy bridge and it doesn't utilize PCI.E 3 correctly. Any help would be awesome THANKS :D

  • GTX 670 PE OC - need BIOS with reduced dust removal fan speed

    Hi,
    I'm looking for someone who will be pleased to reduce or stop dust removal fan speed after restart.
    Would like to modify latest BIOS with UEFI support.
    There was a BIOS which was removed from German MSI site.
    I can provide it if necessary.
    I'm willing to give some reward for the effort.
    Thanks.

    Oki, reflash to attached VBIOS.
    [boot from bootable USB key to perform the flash]
    Flashed and now much quieter at boot.
    Many thanks for your help Svet, you guys are amazing. 

  • MOVED: Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. MSI GTX 670 Power Edition

    This topic has been moved to Graphics Cards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251843.0

    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.

  • 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 670 Power Edition OC versions ?

    Hello.
    Today I've got a question about the MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC graphics card.
    I'm about to buy this card but I've found that there are two version of it: MSI GTX 670 PE/OC and MSI GTX 670 PE/OC G ( notice a "G" at the end ).
    The question is, what that "G" in the model name means, what are the differences ?
    Greetz, `NX.

    Quote from: `NX on 10-February-13, 23:06:14
    I mean, I was wondering if going with Radeon 7970 wouldn't be a better idea
    But I'm not sure of Radeons.
    depends on your plans to use the card for! some games like Far Cry 3, Hitman Absolution, Sleeping Dogs, Medal of Honor Warfighter , dragon age and some more respond better to AMD cards while alot of others are more geared towards Nvidia ones!
    so what do you plan to do with your graphics card? generally Nvidia ones are better all round but it depends on what your doing with them to which way is better!

  • Need to disable the clearing of browsing history and what is the "about:config" function for it?

    I am working on an Group Policy Administrative template for Wetdog.exe, and it's awesome by the way. Just want to know what function to use (listed in "about:config" url) so i can turn this feature off entirely.
    I don't want my users deleting browsing history, or have any ability to view it either.
    Still, i want the browser to keep at least 30 days of history.
    This is EASILY accomplished in Internet Explorer via GPO, but not so much in Mozilla with wetdog.exe and it's admin templates. I am using Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition R2 on 2 domain controllers, and Windows XP Professional SP3 client workstations with Mozilla 3.6.3 and the latest version of Wetdog.exe and it's admin templates.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!!

    It can be annoying, but I think their motivation is good.  They are trying to make things better for their customers and I think they have, even though sometimes it is annoying.  I think it would be nice if they would advise us when the pages are going to be down for maintenance,  In the mean time, you could have another E mail account so you can always get access to your E mail.

  • 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.

    it says, "Your Score is Low Compared to Similar Systems.
    There may be a problem."
    is there anything i can do to improve the performance?
    It's not low, as you can see the most people with the same card has the same scores and they are into the same big graph as you

    Overclock CPU or install fastest CPU or OC the GPU further or both

  • MSI 7750 Power Edition OC.. Overheating .. please help.

    i bought msi 7750 power edition. it's idle temp remains constant at 39` and while playing games like darksiders, temp reaches 79` even with moderate or low settings. the fan on such temp reaches max speed .. 99% and makes it really noisy. is the temp normal or is there any defect wid my piece ? .. Please Reply

    Temp is absolutely normal under load. Anything below 9ß°C is nothing to worry. Try using Afterburner (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) and start Kombustor out of it to check tempa under maximum load.

    How does one know if they use "java applets"? What do they do? How will I know if I need to 'disable the java web plug-in browser' if I do not use them? (Obviously I'm not very literate in computer-speak.)

    Well, when you go to a web page a section of the web page will have a coffee cup picture where the java applet will run. The applet loads then runs. If you are not seeing this behavior then you are not using java. If it make you feel more comfortable then disable the browser java plugin. On my machine I have not disable java- but you
    may what to.
