MSI Afterburner - 2.2.0 Beta 3 Core Voltage 0+ (Question)

Sup guys,
I installed the MSI Afterburner - 2.2.0 Beta 3, i read the manual and some sites etc. one thing i do not understand and that is how this version's Core Voltage works. As i've seen on youtube and various forums that the Core Voltage is displayed as the volts are set to exp: 0.0950V, but mine is displayed as a "+0". It never displays the Volts at which you are currently at, like the Core Clock or Memory clock etc. Any ideas?

I was wondering what that switch was for
So i switched to "Performance Mode" and kind of almost freaked out when i booted back up, because my pc took a while to start up "longer than normal", when it entered Windows it changed to 800x600 Res and said my Hardware was not supported, but a min or 2 after that it said "New Device Installed and ready for use" and asked to restart, so i restarted and....... kapish
Seems we have a winner:
It does run a bit hotter than when on silent mode, but will sort that out.
Thanks for the effort.
Ps. I Assume that is my actual "Volt" measurement

MSI GTX 760 HAWK low overclocking/core voltage lock

Hello, I bought the gtx 760 hawk and i tried to overclock it, but it's overclocking potential is very low. Furthermore if I change core voltage +12mV in afterburner nothing changes. Voltage is still stuck at 1.200. There's absolutely no difference. I use ver. 3.0.0 beta 14 of afterburner. Please help.

GTX 760 NVidia specs
Base Clock 980
Boost Clock 1033
MSI N760 Hawk
Base Clock 1111
Boost Clock 1176
That is what the card is guaranteed to prvide you with.
Additionally, MSI provides voltage and clock adjustments to allow users to potentially OC it even more (no guarantee). Each individual sample will yield different results. We have users that had to RMA cards because they were unstable even at the guaranteed OC'ed speeds.

I see in some reviews that they reach the power limit at the level of 185%
Review sites receive cherry picked samples that have been pre-tested and the results are indicative of what the best of the range may do. All the manufacturers try and have their best samples reviewed for obvious reasons.
The MSI Afterburner releases will be updated when Unwinder and the rest of the development team get around to it. Read the dedicated threads in guru3d

MSI afterburner 3.0.0 beta 19

hello iv just updated to afterburner 3.0.0 beta 19. but on my msi R9-290 gaming its gone from +13 vcore up to +25 vcore. just want to know if this is the same for anyone els that has this card? even if i click reset in AB it still gos to +25 at stock. (977/1250) i was using +21 for (1130/1450) why the big jump in (Mv)?

MSI Afterburner - why does my beta copy reports it's expiring?

Afterburner V2.2 beta - why does my beta copy reports it's expiring?
Do we have another software alternative other than AFterburner for the GTX 560 Ti Hawk?

This is not entirely correct. Only if you reset the system date you extend the expiration date, otherwise you'll get an error message like this.
and the program does not start.
Every beta has a limited time period to work.The expiration date of the 2.2beta8 is 27/11/2011.
But until then it'll be a new version released. So stay cool, or use the non-expiring version 2.1, or go back to the future with your system time.

MSI afterburner not recording

Hi there.
I'm having this issue with MSI afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 14. Whenever I record using AVI format everything works 100% but when I use MKV The vidoe and audio is not in sync. Also when I use the new quick sync method I can do the benchmark and everything looks fine but when I try to record my gameplay I only get audio. I did everything posted on Guru3d.com but it still doesn't work. I also tried to playback on another pc. I have i5-2500k with z77-g45 so it's not my physical pc.
Thanks

MSI Afterburner Core Voltage = huh?

So I just installed my GTX 580 Lightning and LOVE IT. Afterburner is also very nice.
What I can't figure out is the core voltage is measured like +1, +10, +100 etc but that really doesn't help me seeing what is safe for my card and where I should even start increasing it. I am used to 0.9 or 1.2v measurements.
Help!

Quote from: Henry on 27-September-11, 06:34:22
The only reasons you would need to increase the voltage would be: 1 - if you are going to OC more than what it came with and it would need higher voltage for it to run stable. 2 - if you are experiencing problems that would require a higher voltage for it to run stable. If all is OK as is then leave it alone.
Hey Henry,
Sorry I didn't specify. I came from overclocking ASUS GTX 570 and increasing the voltage quite a bit. But I was using ASUS SmartDoctor that showed the actual voltage.
Since MSI Afterburner only has a +1 through plus +200 on the core voltage modifier, I didn't quite understand what that was.
I was just wondering what the average GTX 580 Lightning overclocker was using for their voltage settings on a high OC. I wanted to see how far I could push mine
I got my GTX 570 to 930 core and 4500 memory which was insane....

Msi 670 pe/oc and afterburner core voltage questions..

So recently I've been attempting to push my card further. From what I'm hearing these cards are locked with voltage. Max are anywhere from 1.175 - 1.215. I don't remember flashing my bios. So I tried pushing my card to 1202 which is the max I can get without adjusting msi voltage. Also I use heaven to test stability. I limit my frames to 63 since that is what I play bf3 at and it's my most demanding game. With 1202 clock even up to 1228 I can complete one run without crashing and stock voltage.
So I said what the hell I'll increase powerlimit to 114% and increase core voltage to +30( I don't even know how much this adds because there isn't a way to monitor... If anyone has an idea I'm all ears). What do you know to my surprise I was able to complete one benchmark run in heaven at 1254 without crashing. I tried 1254 without adjusting voltage and it crashed and I had to restart. Added +30 and it didn't crash. Also aux voltage was +30 maxed and still crashed without adding core voltage. So are these voltages really locked like Nvidia wanted? Or is there a problem with heaven benchmark.
Also my setting are 4xaa( I use 2x in bf3 with low post processing) !680x1050( native) resolution, tessellation is normal, af x 16. I've also heard about flashing with unlocked bios but as of now I don't want to try that.
My current gpu bios is 80.04.31.00.46(P2004-0005). Anyone know the values for this bios or where I can look it up? I'm also on the beta 310.71 drivers since the whql 310.71 drivers for some reason limited my oc.
Thanks for anyone who can help answer these questions.

A locked card will always max out at 1.175v no matter what is set. Using Afterbuner 2.2.4 possibly also later (2.2.5 and 2.3.0 are said to be not locked but I doubt that) will also max out at 1.175v no matter the vbios. Since the 670PE does not allow to monitor voltage with software it is hard to tell if overvoltage past 1.175v works or not. Could be progress is caused due to increasing aux voltage while gpu stays at 1.175v max. An unlocked card would do 1.2125v max.
It would require an unlocked mod bios for the unlocked overvoltage. There is a thread on overclock.net about unlocked GTX6xx vbios versions. There you could get an unlocked bios for GTX670 PE: http://www.overclock.net/t/1289489/gtx-680-670-unlocked-voltage-bios/510#post_17888629
So far nobody in the forum has tested that and using would be at your very own risk (as always when using mod bios).

MSI Afterburner Beta, GTX 660Ti PE OC - serious problem

Hi
Till yesterday I was using MSI Afterburner 3.0.0 (9) Beta to control my voltages on my 660Ti Power Edition OC and it worked like a charm. With +50Mv voltage bump I could do very high OC, although my power target% does not work due to broken BIOS on Power Editions, I was still able to maintain some nice clocks.
But than I did a stupid thing - decided to switch back to 2.2.3 in order to check if I can set power target % there (I didn't know until yesterday that it wasn't cause by software but by messed up bios).
What happened now is that I've lost voltage control on my GPU.
1. Uninstalled MSI AB Beta to go to 2.2.3 version
2. Noticed that voltage increments changed - Before I could raise the voltage in increments of +10Mv (10, 20, 30 ... so on) - now it is +10 +23 +37 (etc.)
3. Noticed that voltage control doesn't work and doesn't help me maintain clocks which I maintained before on +50Mv, even if I set it to +100Mv
4. Uninstalled MSI AB 2.2.3
5. Installed MSI AB Beta again - no luck. Voltage control is still messed up.
Now what I've found on another forum is some info about MSI AB uninstall utility problems - it doesn't remove all entries in registry and may cause a mess up like this.
So my question is - is there any way to fix registry and fix my voltage control, other than system reinstallation?

Thank You for Your answer - I've already managed to fixed it.
What I needed to do - uninstall MSI AB, go into registry, search for "Afterburner", delete every entry related to AB, restart the computer, install 3.0.0(9) beta again - the tresholds (+10mv, +20mv... and so on) are back now.
I'm still not sure if voltage regulation works, but I suppose it does - 1296 MHz on core with just +30Mv, 1385 MHz on core with +90Mv Pretty cool

MSI KT3V low maximum core voltage

Hey guys
I'm very angry,because my kt3v have max. core voltage at 1,7V.Where i can find unofficial or beta bios for higer voltages? 1,7V is too low for good overclocking. I use at xp 1700+ (t-bred) and i have stable only 171 x 11.5.I heard that this cpu can run at higer speeds than 1974 mhz.
Where i can find any solution for this voltage?

I had the same problem. Not enough voltage to get my 1700+ past 1907 without stability issues. I used a defogger kit and closed all the L11 bridges on the processor which basically set the default voltage for the CPU at 1.85. Now when I go in to BIOS, the voltage is already set to 1.85, which I think is the max on most newer MSI boards. I never found a beta BIOS anywhere that got around that +/- .1 volt thing. There are also some guides out there about modifying the processor socket with small wires to jumper different pins together to alter the Vcore, but I didn't want to risk putting the wires in the wrong holes...heh. I only had to close 2 L11 bridges on my processor to get the default Vcore to 1.85 and they weren't that close together so it only took about 5 minutes to do it and it works like a champ. Good luck!

Afterburner, no set core voltage second card on crossfire.

Hello,
I do not have a setting available on the " core voltage " on my second graphics card in afterburner .
I just added a 280X R9 besides my HD7970 .
ON the first card everything is available but not on the second .
Do you have an idea of setting ?
Sorry i have a print screen but i can't post external link.....

MSI Afterburner - MSI 7850 Voltage Control

When will afterburner support voltage control for this card? We're able to unlock voltage control in options but still not able to change the voltage control in afterburner. Other mis 7970 cards can use it fine, not this msi 7850 though.

Hi again
I have been doing some further testing today, using the AMD Catalyst drivers v12.8 and MSI Afterburner v2.2.3.
THE MSI R7850 Power Edition 2GD5 card appears to have two GPU core VDDC voltage states as standard, 0.82v for 2D clocks and 1.21v for 3D clocks.
I have confirmed this using GPU-Z v0.6.4 (managed to get it to display current VDDC correctly at last) and AIDA64. For some reason , Afterburner lets it appear that you are changing the VDDC voltage (once the unlock voltage options are ticked in settings). Afterburner shows a core default VDDC of 1075mv when first installed which doesn't tally with what is actually the current 3D clock VDDC voltage of 1.21v. Even sliding this to 1.1v or 1.3v (the maximum) has no effect on the VDDC or 1.21v. The Afterburner OSD will always display what the voltage is set to on its own slider, even if sensor output still shows the actual 1.21v.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. I installed the Sapphire Trixx application which as you probably know, is similar to Afterburner. Right at the start, it was displaying the adjustable core VDDC voltage as 1.21v although the slider would only let me decrease the voltage. I believe that this is due to Trixx having a VDDC limit of 1.18v. To test Trixx, I reduced the core VDDC to 1.1v. This core voltage adjustment was successfully reflected in MSI Kombustor, AIDA 64, GPU-Z when running 3D..
Strangely, this means that the Trixx application will let me adjust the volatge on MSI Power Edition GPU core, albeit only to down volt from 1.21v where as the MSI Afterburner app does not adjust the core voltage at all, despite the fact that on the surface, it appears to work, letting you select core voltage 0.82v all the way to 1.3v. The 7850 states that it is triple overvoltage enchanced but Afterburner will not bypass the hard coded MSI BIOS voltages.

MSI Afterburner 2.2.4 - Voltage oc nerf for GTX 670 PE / GTX 680 Lightning

Looks like Nvidia has given MSI a bashing for allowing voltage adjustments with these cards.
Disappointing as the actual box states:
Quote from: mikeo, OcUK Forums
Yet another new version just released:
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm#
MSI Afterburner Version 2.2.4 (2012/9/18)
- Added new graphics cards support
- Change the NVIDIA Kepler series voltage control mode
And it's the 2nd item that is maybe of interest to those of us with Kepler based GPU's! Basically the GPU core voltage has been now locked for all cards (including the 680 Lightening and the 670 PE) to 1.175v. This by all accounts was by the direction of Nvidia/MSI themselves.
Suggested reading is the last few posts on this thread at Guru3D (post #67 onwards):
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=364858
One quote from Unwinder:
it will be standard 1175mV, similar to all other 680 on the market. Advanced core voltage control of Lightning will be totally disabled, so it won't be different comparing to any other 680.
Though there are still two ways round this.
1) Continue to use version 2.2.3
2) Use 2.2.4 (or later when it becomes available) but use the work around that Unwinder gives in a later post.
Looks like Nvidia is continuing to put the pressure on to prevent any sort of meaningful voltage adjustment.

Sadly Nvidia really dictated this cut down. MSI had to follow. I keep on using 2.2.3 which keeps everything as it should. Poor 660ti users have no choice as only 2.2.4 supports this model. Right now there is no workaround for that gpu.
It's a shame really, I already have a GTX 670 that does 1340/7406, but on Thursday I decided to buy the MSI GTX 670 OC PE, having read this:
Quote from: HardwareCanucks - MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC Review
MSI’s cards have continually impressed us with their willingness to overclock to impressive levels. With a bit of coaxing via MSI’s AfterBurner software to maximize the Power Limit and add 100mV to the core and memory voltage (PLL was also increased by 50mV) the GPU hit an impressive 1388MHz while the memory petered out at 6524MHz. Both of those clock speeds are personal bests but we have a feeling like there’s more in the tank should MSI decide to release a GTX 670 Lightning.
For those of you wondering, at these speeds, the actual Boost clock we typically observed in games was between 1450MHz and 1465MHz.

I got my MSI GTX 670 OC PE on Friday, will see what it can do tomorrow, even at factory clocks it should be on par with a reference GTX 680, I only game at 1920x1200 anyway, so it will be great.

Msi Afterburner Keeps putting voltage back to 1.164

Hi, this is my first post so please tell me if I am doing anything wrong.
I am using MSI afterburner 1.6.1 to overclock my MSI R5830.
I have managed to get the card stable using these settings: Voltage@ 1.220v, Clock
at 950mhz, memory at 1205.
When I am using any 3d application, like a game, the voltage will randomly go back down to 1.164v causing the computer to crash.
I cannot figure out why this is happening, please help me out on this cuz I'm a noob =(
Thanks,
