MSI 780 Ti Gaming Fans Stuck at 2700RPM

Hi, I bought an MSI 780 Ti Gaming card last week. One of the buying points being that everybody was real happy with how silent it was. However mine was being quite loud. I tried setting the fan speeds to lower but I noticed the tachometer being stuck at 2700 rpm while reviews mentiond som 1000-1500 rpm.
Setting the fan speed to 34% or 100% doesn't have any effect. Both GPU-Z and Afterburner show the tachometer stuck at 2700RPM.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Is this reason enough to ask for a replacement card?
Thanks in advance

what VGA drivers did you used?
have you tried a different one?
what about Afterburner version used?

Bios compatibility for SLI MSI 780 TI Gaming 3G

Good afternoon!
Well, before retailers and other places clear out their stock of the 780 TI, I'd like to get another one.
My question is - I've gotten an updated BIOS from this forum for my current MSI Geforce GTX 780 TI Gaming 3G. When I get my second one and attempt to use SLI - does my second card require the same BIOS that my current card was updated to for SLI to work?
Or do I not need to worry about that? I just want to get my head in order before I pull the trigger on this.
Thanks again guys!

do not flash your new one with the others VBIOS version (If you need one for it come and ask us for one as different batches need different versions as the VRAM may be different)!
I would never do that! I probably won't even flash the other one if it's not necessary.

Question please about MSI 780 ti gaming

Hello
As I know, this is an overclocked edition of 780 ti and it has 3 modes,oc gaming and silent.
But on a clean fresh build and Windows install, without any tools from MSI or any other:
At what mode the card works ?
I hate to deal with frequencies and overclocking tools.
Thanks

At default (not even running Gaming APP) it is Gaming mode (not Silent). Using silent or oc mode requires running the gaming APP. The gaming mode clockrates are the normal 3d settings. So without any tool the card usually runs at 980MHz Core (Boost Clock:1046MHz). Depending on the individual sample, temps and load situation boost clockrate results can be higher (with high temps/little load also lower).

Msi r9-290 gaming (fan RPM )

Hello can anyone help please . my r9-290 gaming dose NOT show the fan RPM any more in GPUZ or in MSI afterburner. it use to in 13.12 but now nothing shows on 14.1 (fan rpm = 0 ) fans are on and running on desktop they are at 18% and go to about 40% in game.
plus in MSI afterburner the gpu ram speed keeps going up and down like a yoyo.
here is a screen shot of what i mean.

Hi hpipiw
I think the fans are actually fine, its definitely looking like a software issue, I didn't see this problem before installing afterburner, and setting a higher min fan speed seems to have cured the issue for now.
I can imagine that a fan thats seizing up might just stop at lower speeds, but I would think it would struggle to start up when touched.
Keeping an eye on it for now, will of course rma if I notice anything bad happening.
Cheers for the comment.

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Fan Header max Amp and total max amp

Hey guys,
I just bought this board (not yet arrived) and i am 1 fan slot short on the motherboard so i will be using a Y splitter. I will also use slip streams 1900 rpm (0.53A max), which i won't be using on max rpm.
After ALOT of reading i found many different max Amp values for many different boards. I also downloaded the manual for this specific board but the max Amp or Wattage is not in there, so i hope one of you knows.
If you combine two slip streams 1900rpm on max settings it will give 1.06A, and i was wondering if its safe to put this on one fan header (maybe the cpu fan header can handle more than the system fan headers). I have read that for some boards the max Amp per fan header is 1A which will be a little short for me and that the total Amp recommended for all fan headers combined is less than when you add them up yourself. My total Amp including the y splitter will be 3.18A
I hope i gave enough info for you guys and if not feel free to ask for more.

1 amp comes to mind, but in all honesty, you might be better off running directly from the PSU power and/or using an aftermarket fan controller.
And is the 0.06 difference really going to have a negative effect on header / motherboard life time?

MSI Z87-GD65 gaming fan control

So i recently installed 2x 120mm noctua and 1x noctua 140mm fans in my system, they work great and i can control them no problem from the bios, but i recently noticed that my Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler runs full speed all the time, from what i know the fans on the cooler are not pwm, but i would think you would be able to control the fans with voltage, but i cannot find anything to set that in the bios or anywhere else, is that true?

yeah i connected the fans to the LNA (low noise adapters) for now, would still like to be able to control them, but atleast the annoying sound seems to have come from the fans spinning at full speed, will have to invest in a few pwm fans soon, but thanks

GTX 980 Gaming specs to compare 780 Ti Gaming

hello all MSI members
i just must come here and complain new nvidia 980 gtx Gaming card specs,bcoz i think thouse are poor.
if we check 780ti Gaming card specs and compare thouse 980 Gaming cards specs,different is big.
980 Gaming cards is oc'd too small,i think 1300 MHzis fine.980 Gaming oc'ed only for 1216 MHz,not so much.
780 Ti Gaming is excellent card,but i dont buy it bcoz i wait 980 Gaming card,but noe,i'm dissapointment
780Ti Gaming beat 980 Gaming cardl..
check urself ht1p://www.techpowerup.com and check MSI 780 Ti Gaming and GTX 980
make GTX 980 Gaming S,and higher clocks 1300/1415 was very nice.
now EVGA 980 SC is better clocked and i thnk about it.
well i still trust MSI and maybe update 980 Gaming new card cominh still and of coz 980 lightning,but
remembe, silence is VERY important.
all best all!

The reviews show a 40% power reduction on the cores at a only marginal increase in performance.
From the "Nvidia GTX980 review roundup - A generational leap in power efficiency" article
Quote
The 900 series cards have notably higher clock speeds than the GTX 780, and each CUDA core is 40% more efficient, which makes up for the smaller number of cores. The new Maxwell architecture is also dramatically more power efficient than Kepler—the 980 can deliver 30 gigaflops per watt, versus just 15 gigaflops per watt for the 680 and 780. That's allowed Nvidia to bring the card's thermal design point down to 195 watts, and to once again run off two 6-pin connectors.

MSI R9 280 Gaming 3G won't boost - stuck at 827mhz

Hi all, I used DDU to remove my Nvidia driver in safe mode, I then fitted the 280 and booted into windows and installed the latest AMD 14.9 WHQL driver.
I tested the card in Unigine Heaven as I do with all new cards, using MSI Afterburner for monitoring.
The card boosted initially, ran at normal temps and didn't experience issues, I played Bioshock infinite for a while and then went back to the desktop.
Next app I launch, the card clock is stuck at 827mhz and won't budge, adjusting clocks in MSI afterburner does nothing, the fan control works but that's it.
I have re installed the drivers multiple times with complete removal each time to no avail, occasionally the card will boost after booting up, but within a few minutes it will revert to 827mhz and refuse to budge.
My specs below
Intel 3570K
ASUS P8Z77-V Pro
8GB Vengeance 1600mhz
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
MSI R9 280 Gaming 3G
Windows 7 x64
Corsair AX750 PSU
Any help appreciated, trying to work out if this is a software or hardware issue, I downloaded MSI Live Update and it reports that the card's BIOS is the latest version, as are all my other drivers.

In what games does the card not boost? Temps under load? GPU usage in %?

MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming Twin Frozr - GPU_Z Speeds not right

I've just purchased the MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming Twin Frozr which is supposedly spec'ed at 1020mhz GPU clock from factory.
however, running GPU_z reveals that the GPU clock is 980 mhz only. seems like 40mhz less than stated in the product details?
what I did do is messed with MSI GamingApp and when i chose the "OC" setting it went to 1020 mhz.
is this expected?
I was under the impression that it would be 1020 mhz as baseline without any sort of application tuning etc...
thanks in advance.

The card works as it should. Just refer to the product site:
Quote from: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-780Ti-GAMING-3G.html#overview
1020MHz Core (Boost Clock:1085MHz) (OC Mode)
980MHz Core (Boost Clock:1046MHz) (Gaming Mode)
876MHz Core (Boost Clock:928MHz) (Silent Mode)
3072 GDDR5 7000MHz Memory
The baseclock of 1020 Mhz is only enabled using oc mode of the Gaming APP while the Gaming Mode is the normal clockrate it would run at even if not using the Gaming APP. Of course you could still oc with Afterburner while at OC mode and up the clockrate even further or you are just using an oc tool like Afterburner to adjust the clockrate completely manually.
The APP doesn't change any voltage settings. The voltage is determined by the gpu using Boost 2.0 (up to the maximum Nvidia boost voltage).

MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G: Fan issue, too

I build a new system that also includes a brand new MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G that I received today and to my considerable regret the graphics card is exhibiting fan issues similar to the ones some of you described with 970 cards.
My MSI 980 is spinning one fan at constantly high speed from the moment the system gets turned on. It's the fan on the inner half of the card, not the one on the slot side. My card came with the notorious sticker, which I removed with utmost care. The fan on the sticker/slot side is working perfectly fine, spinning up after launch, then spinning down for as long as the card's temperature is below 60°C, then spinning up again when it's above. Regulation works flawlessly for THIS fan - it can also be controlled manually by AfterBurner, which displays the speed of this fan correctly.
On the other hand, the inner fan does not regulate at all. It goes full throttle from the moment the system starts and never slows down again.
_Its impossible to stop or change the speed of this second fan through AfterBurner or NVidia Inspector._
Trying to make the other fan spin by poking it by hand, as some have described for their 970 cards doesn't change anything, either, since the other fan does run if the temperature neccessitates it.
So it doesn't look like the behaviour of the second fan is caused by something being wrong with the hardware of the first fan.
Anyway - at my wits' end, for now.
My setup:
MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G (Bios 84.04.1f.00.f6)
NVidia Drivers 344.60
Monitor connected to DVI Port (through VGA adapter, for now)
ASUS Z97-A (Bios v2012)
Core i7-4790K
Samsung SSD 850 Pro
Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64

I tried with the MSI Fan Control tool (v2.0.0.1) that was on the included driver CD: It also has no influence over the second fan, only over the first (properly working) one.
I also checked my cabling and nothing seems bend or cricked. No heat-sink touching circuit boards. Guess I'll pull the plug on this one and move back to my 580 for the duration of the RMA process... I just hope the next one turns out alright.

MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming - Coil Whine

Hi all,
I've bought 2 MSI GTX 780 ti 3G Gaming and I have the same problem with both : Unbearable coil whine in all game and with 3DMark.
I'm not the only one who have this problem but I don't know if the card is responsible.
Sometimes V-Sync reduce the noise but not completly.
My config :
MB : Asus Z87-Deluxe
Corsair HX-850 and now Corsair RM-850
Intel I7-4770K
Corsair Dominator Platinium (2x8Go)
If the third card do the same noise, what can I do ? Take a 780 Ti somewhere else that to MSI ?
Thank you for your answer.
Mike

At the beginning, I had a Corsair HX-850, and I've changed it to a Corsair RM-850.
Next I have tried a lot of changes on 2 systems :
1st Computer :
- Thermaltake Overseer RX-I
- Asus Z87-Deluxe
- Intel I7-4770K
- Corsair Dominator Platinium (2x8Go at 2400)
=> With Corsair HX-850 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
=> With Corsair RM-850 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
=> With Corsair HX-850 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
=> With Corsair RM-850 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
2nd Computer :
- Thermaltake V9 BlackX Edition
- Asus P8P67-Deluxe
- Intel I7-2600K
- Corsair Vengeance (2x4Go at 1600)
=> With Corsair HX-750 + MSI 580 Lightning : No CW
=> With Corsair HX-750 + MSI 780 Ti : CW
It seems that the Coil Whine is folowing the MSI 780 Ti. Perhaps I have to buy another MB like a MSI Z87... and after another CPU, and change my PLEXTOR PX-256M5Pro... and what ??? I shall like having enough money to spend to be your MSI beta tester...
The MSI GTX 780 TI Gaming is the best card that I've seen for a long time, and I want to understand why I have some trouble with it.
If you want to send me another 780 Ti, I'll try it with pleasure !

Request bios: MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3G

I'm just wondering if I have the latest bios for my MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3G:
S/N 602-V298-11081404030983
GK110.rom link
sendspace com/file/4sk33v

It's the latest legacy vbios. If you want the latest UEFI use the attached.
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the vbios file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

Cpu fan stuck at 1000rpm (MSi X58 platinum)

Hi, i have msi x58 for 1,5 years but yesterday a problem occurred. The cpu fan stuck @ ~1000rpm no matter what the cpu temperature does. It happens from the moment i power my pc, so when i get in to BIOS in health center i see that cpu fan runs at 1000 rpm. I have disabled the smart cpu temperature feature.
My cpu + IOH are boiling hot, but the cpu fan just stays @1000rpm.
PS I also tried prime 95 to stress the cpu, the temperature reached 90 degrees C, and the problem persists.
What can i do?

No problem--you're quite welcome.
The fan was the simplest and quickest troubleshooting suggestion--and simple and quick are a nice way to fix problems.

MSI 780 TF Bios & SLI

I've recently bought a new MSI 780 TF card and added it to the existing one in SLI. Motherboard is MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX. I am not running the gaming app and not applying any OC.
I've noticed that the BIOS on the cards is different. The newer one has 80.80.45.00.18 and the older one 80.80.21.00.75. Do I need to have a similar BIOS revision on both cards? is there a way to update the BIOS?
As for the GPU core clock. The newer one is running at 1045 while the older one is at 1006. I can't figure out why there's a different between them and if it will affect the performance?
My last question is about temperatures. While I was still using a single GPU, max temp was reaching 68-70, while currently the top card is at 78-80 (fans at 60%) and the lower one is at 68-72 (fans at 45%). I have a thermaltake chaser mk1 case with front, side as intake and top (x2), rear as exhaust. There's also a H100i radiator installed on top with 2 exhaust fans below it. For comparison, I am running seti@home for the above temps. While gaming, I am getting a higher temp values with a delta of 3-5 degrees. The older card comes with a metal frame near the SLI bridge (check the picture attached), is it an older release or is it missing in the card?

Nice setup, similar to mine.
As for temperatures: you and I are in the same boat. After SLI my temps jumped about 10C but I've since fixed that by adding a new fan curve.
As for card bios: one of my cards is a GOP bios that I used for fast booting to Windows. The other card is not, and when I installed my second GPU my computer would not start because one of the cards did not have the GOP (I was worried it was a dead card - imagine my face). After disabling fast boot (had to remove the new GPU first so that I could actually get into the BIOS), the system booted fine despite the two cards having different bios.
As for clock speeds: occasionally my cards will differ in clock speeds. I have only noticed this while using the "Adaptive" power setting under nvidia control panel. Setting this to Maximum Performance matches the two GPU core/memory clocks. Perhaps this is the explanation for your two cards operating at different levels.
A note on the adaptive performance setting: while using this and playing BF4 (all ultra settings) the cards started off clocked at their maximum. After playing for a moment or two, the two cards found their own clocks and I continued on playing. This is the adaptive setting I was talking about I believe. Both cards were running below 60C (BF4 doesn't seem to stress my system) and the GPUs found clock speeds that could still deliver performance. You could notice using afterburner that one card was under more of a load than the other - which explains one card having a higher frequency than the other too. However, during heavier gun battles with a lot more going on, they did ramp back up and remained in sync.
For a comparison, while playing Far Cry 3 at ultra settings both my cards remain at their maximum clock speeds - never differing. I imagine this is because FC3 is demanding a lot more from them and they need to continue to operate at their higher clocks to maintain steady framerates.
Hope you're enjoying your setup!
