MSI GE 60 Fan Issues

Hi all
My laptop MSI GE60 has been working fine for about a month and a half.
I let my brother play it yesterday and when i went on it 3 hours after he finished with it. i noticed the fan kept spinning up every 4 seconds it spins to 100% and then down and repeats.
I am wondering if this a feature he accidentally turned on as he didn't say it was doing it when he was playing it.
Or is using the fan boost killed the sensors or killed the fan itself.
or maybe its a driver update / windows update which installed once he turned it off so that when i turned it on it caused this after he finished with it.

i turned off and removed the battery for 5 minutes it still doing it most of the time.
should i be flashing the bios then turning off and removing the battery ?
i only turned off and removed the battery for 5 minutes .

  • [Request] Bios Update for MSI 290x Lightning (Fan Issue)

    Hey there,
    i'm forced to use 14.4 Catalyst now and having Fan Issues since then.
    So here is my S/N:
    S/N: 602 - V307 - 04SB1402053468
    A short instruction on how to Flash correctly would be awesome

    Use the attached UEFI vbios versions to fix the fan issue.
    TV307MH.101 is normal vbios, TV307MH.111 is LN2
    Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
    Then unpack the previously provided archive (307_04s.rar) and put the included file (TV307MH.101 or TV307MH.111) on that stick.
    Rename TV307MH.101 / TV307MH.111 to 101.rom / 111.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
    Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 101.rom (or 111.rom) [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

  • MSI GE60 0ND - Fan Issue - Cooler Boost Button

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my MSI GE60 0ND. The fan / cooler boost button above the keyboard is always glowing and sometimes very light flickering. The fan spins at a normal and quiet level.
    When I press the button the fan starts spinning up and stays at the high level. The ligt of the button keeps glowing, but the flickering stops completly. When I press it again the fan goes back to a normal level, but the light keeps glowing.
    I recently updates the EC-Version, because I had an issue with my fan which was really annoying. Before the EC update my fan kept spinning up and down every 10-20 seconds.
    The temperatures ware always at a normal level. I own my MSI GE60 about one year. The spinning fan issue started just one month ago, but was fixed trough the update.
    Some detailed information about my notebook:
    MSI GE60 0ND
    Bios: E16GAIMS.10F (Release version)
    EC-Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
    I'm using Windows 7 x64 and tried also Windows 8.1 x64. Both have the same fan button issue.
    Installing / Uninstalling MSI SCM utility didnt make any difference.
    Regards
    Thomas

    fan is constantly spinning with the same, average speed. It goes faster when on stress but continue to spin when system is idle
    Bios Version: E16GAIMS.10F
    EC Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
    Sorry to spoil that, but the fan was indeed always spinning before, too. But very quietly at a low rate! You could observe rotational speed in RWeverything and it did NEVER stop with that notebook (GE60) and the EC-version 14.04
    If you want to go back, check out my post here. There are the old firmware files included as well. But read the readme.txt thoroughly first!

  • MSI 8800 Ultra fan issue

    Hello!
    I have a weird issue with my 8800 ultra graphics card.When the GPU is running on idle the temps are around 48C-50C.I tried to play battlefield 3 and the temps are going up to 73C and my pc is crashing.The problem is that the graphics card fan is not running on 100% and when the rpm drops down it lets the temp go above 70C.When the fan goes on 100% the temerature immediately drops down under 60C.I have tried to download MSI Afterburner,Riva tuner,Nvidia ntune but all is the same.If I munually alter the fan speed on 100% is still not running on 100% druing Battlefield 3.I can hear when the fan slows down and when speeds up the system is crashed...nothing helps just the restart..

    Well I cant tell you that because I have got only that game installed on my pc. But that before I have played COD Modern Warefare 3 without any problems.Even this as well the game is running smoothly than the fan rpm drops down and a minute later the whole system is crashed....
    Is there any other way the keep the fan speed on max?Because with the softwares what I have used they keep the fan running on 100% but when I start the BF3 it seems like the card is completly ignoring my settings...

  • MSI GE60 OND Fan Issue

    Hi, I've just purchased this laptop second hand from a friend and everything is working fine except the fan, I've seen other users on here with the same problem but I couldn't find a solution that made sense to me!!! The fan powers on ok but then starts to go up to full power then back down to almost silent, I've managed somehow, following a step by step guide, to update the bios but I cannot seem to update the EC which sounds like it might fix the problem, every time I download the file from the msi support page it says that its not compatible with 64bit versions of Windows 8?? Has anyone else managed to overcome this problem and have a step by step guide on what they did? Thanks in advance for any help as this is now becoming very annoying.

    Which version are you trying to update and how you do the update?
    Try to update the EC under DOS mode and don't forget to do the EC reset afterwards.

  • MSI GE60-2OE Fan Issue

    Hello
    So I've had mine MSI GE60 for little over a year now and recently the fan has been making 'rattling' and 'grinding' noises. I went onto the forums and search for similar topics and people said there are a  few possibilities.
    1) Fan is not balanced
    2) Dust build-up
    3) Fan bearing being used up
    Many people said to contact MSI and ask for a replacement fan if the laptop is on warranty (Mine still is, Until Feb 2016)
    However here is the problem. When I purchased the laptop I registered it straight away. Now when I go onto the MSI Register Product page it is not there. I am being asked for the serial number of the Laptop but I don't have the box. I have the proof of purchase and all the warranty documentation but dont know where to look for the Serial Number of the Laptop. It is not on the back Sticker. All it says is "GE60 2OE I77400MQ / 16GB / 1000GB / GTX765M FHD"
    Is there any other way to get the serial number of the laptop? Device Manager? BIOS? (I'm running Win 8.1)

    try removing the battery - my GE60 has a sticker, with the serial number on the battery slot which will reveal once you remove it. good luck on your RMA :D

  • MSI GT70 2PC-1044US - HDMI / GPU / FAN issues

    MSI GT70 2PC-1044US - HDMI / GPU / FAN issues
    I am having trouble with my HDMI port on a brand new MSI GT70 2PC-1044US . Whenever I plug my HDMI cable from my notebook to the TV, after a few minutes (5 - 20 minutes), my fan will start reving at around 5k RPMs and sounds like a jet engine. When this happens, according to MSI Dragon Gaming Center tool/monitor, the GPU temp reading hits 255 degrees Celsius, which is clearly a glitch. I used another monitor, msi afterburner, and when this HDMI problem happens, this tool reads a normal 40 degrees Celsius.
    Here are the things I have tried so far but the problem keeps reoccurring:
    1. Called MSI tech support, sent me the link to the newest BIOS and updated it
    2. Called MSI tech support again, claimed the HDMI is controlled by the intel graphic controller, and they recommended that i update intel drivers (every software tool on my notebook says it's the NVIDIA GPU that controls the HDMI port /shrug???), so i did this as well.
    3. Called MSI teck support again, they suggested I send the notebook back to MSI so they could take a look at the hardware. I did not do this because I did not trust the tech guy and did not want to wait a few weeks to get my notebook back
    4. Luckily, the store I bought my notebook at was nice enough to replace my notebook for a new one. I got home, tested it, and the same thing happened. So I think we eliminated faulty hardware.
    So now what? What else can I try?

    have you done EC reset? https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
    can you try to plug the HDMI into your dell screen[insteal of sharp TV] to check if the same issue will hapends?
    Install latest Intel GPU drivers from: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics
    then retest
    -Yes, I did the full EC reset. Once the EC flash was done, I removed the power cord from the back and the battery and let it sit for a few minutes before restarting.
    - My Dell monitor is old, and does not have an HDMI port, but I will try a different cable on a different TV.
    -I already have the most recent intel graphic controller drivers, this one of the things the MSI tech support guys asked me to do by phone

  • 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 GTX980 Gaming 4G Fan issue

    Hi all.
    I read the thread about the GTX970 fan issue. I have the same issue on a brand new GTX980. First fan does not spin, while second fan is running at 90%. I saw the post about the sticker causing the issue. There was a sticker on my GTX980 which was removed carefully.
    However, when I launch the MSI VGA Fan Control app it tells me they are at 0%/90% and they are set to auto. If I change this to 30%/30% the first fan immediately kicks on and they run together (although I can tell no audible difference).
    Any thoughts? I do not have to manually touch the fan and when I set the fan app back to auto the 2nd fan is right back at 90%. I do not mind some fan action while playing but 90% fan 24/7 is not an option.
    Best to RMA it or what? I have tried all sorts of things, it appears that the Afterburner app does not see the 2nd fan. When gaming the 1st fan kicks in like it should and runs at about 50%.
    Thanks.

  • MSI GE60 0ND infamous fan issue

    Hello,
    I have a GE60 0ND and I'm encountering the fan issue where the fan keeps starting and stopping even when the computer is idle. It is becoming infuriating and I want to make this stop.
    Reading about the issue I gathered that I had to update the firmware. So I did, using a bootable key set up with rufus.akeo.ie tool, and then after booting on it calling ecall.bat. I did the procedure not to mess up EC (removing battery and charger, waiting 10mn before booting). I then checked the FW version from the BIOS system info and it reads
    Bios Version: E16GAIMS.10E
    EC Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
    So yay, I guess? But the fan keeps spinning up and down as it did before. Should I update the BIOS to 10F as well? How should I proceed not to mess my notebook up?

    Okay so I suppose there is some kind of transition here... My computer doesn't do his fan weirdness while idle anymore a few minutes after startup (it kind of does some weird clipping (?) sound at time but I'll probably just have to clean the fan). Sorry for the inconvenience, the info on this forum in invaluable.
    Yes, that's my point to wait it for 15 minutes
    Because from my personal experience it makes the same thing several times in the past
    and it fixed by his own few minutes later and then was fine
    so i suspect its some kind of checking/or cleaning FAN mechanism like you said sometimes after startup
    but what triggers this behavior is not known
    from my experience its rare but can hapend sometimes

    its not because of dust, it does this at new machine and year later i've checked the FAN multiple times and it's in perfect conditions
    but haven't notice this issues from 7-8 months
    but of course open the NB to check your FAN to check it!
    this is always helpfull

  • GTX 970 gaming TF fan issue

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue like here:
    Suddenly first fan stops and the second has full speed.
    Could you recommend me what can i do? I bought this one a couple days ago.
    Thank you.

    However if the BIOS does not fix the fan issue, then you have to RMA the card, and would be best to do it with MSI as they would send you 100% working one back.

  • Msi N460GTX HAWK Fan Failure

    I have two N460GTX HAWK's.  They're in SLi.  One of them has had one of the two fans fail.  The fan is seized up.  For the last couple weeks I've been hearing what sounded like rattling case metal inside my computer.  Since the computer is 5 years old I thought nothing of it.  Besides I've had case rattle before and just wedged some cardboard spacers in to stop it.  Another thing I noticed was my primary graphics card seems to have been getting hotter than normal.  A few times the loud beep these cards make when their temp is approaching the limit has occurred.  I now see that one of the fans must have been failing.  To compensate for the temperature, I would just manually crank up my system fan and that seemed to work.
    I seem to remember on September 16, 2010 when I bought this card that they came with a 3 year warranty.  Would this fan issue be covered under that warranty?
    Also, I don't see the N460GTX HAWK as being sold by msi (or maybe anyone) anymore.  Should this become a RMA issue, would it be possible to get an exact replacement?
    Today when I started my computer up, I had no video to my monitor.  I switched my monitor cable to my other cards DVI output and the video worked again.  My question is, if one of the fans fail on the N460GTX HAWK will the card stop working (to protect itself)?  The card with the bad fan couldn't have been hot yet since I had just turned the computer on.  Also the video was working just an hour or so before this.

    I had not thought about the vrm temperature.  I have a Logitech G19 keyboard and I monitor the GPU's temps while I'm playing games so I think it's unlikely that the GPU has been damaged on my card.  Considering the vrm has no heat sink some of it may have gotten too hot.  I got an RMA number and sent the card to msi.  The card is due to arrive at msi on June 4th 2013.  Hopefully it's just a quick fan exchange and they send the same one back.
    I feel compelled to add that, up to this point, these msi GTX460's have been excellent video cards.  The build quality is very high.  The heat sinks capability is excellent.  My computer is 6 years old and the airflow in my case is typically poor.  I often have to run my system fan at 80% to push heat out of the case.  These cards however have operated in this environment as though it was native to them.  I've estimated close to 2500 hours of continuous use on these cards now.  I consider one of the fans dyeing after this long and this much use to be a small incident and in no way detracts from the stellar performance of these msi cards.

    mislav.ruzman this is surely not your topic. As you can see it's the topic of someone else seeking for help. Don't hijack that thread with your own issue but open an own (>>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<). Unlike your vga's fans those of topic starter are physically defect.
    @Gamtu:
    Of course the faulty fan is covered by warranty and is subject of rma. The defective cooling could have caused other defects (e.g. dying vrms because of overheating). Just contact your reseller or MSI and issue rma. MSI has always also older products for replacing defective items in stock even if those aren't sold anymore. If none is in stock you'd get a comparable current product. Usually it's a bit better one.

  • Msi GTX680 Lightning - Fans *not* spinning backwards at startup.

    Hi guys, just got this card. It looks great + the board design seems very good indeed.
    Problem I'm having is that the fans aren't spinning backwards when the computer starts. One of the reasons why I went for this card was that I thought this sounded like a great feature for stopping dust buildup - Which I hate.
    My rig is pretty old, and the motherboard is an nVidia 680iSE (PCIe 1.1 I *think*):
    QX6700 Extreme @ 2.6GHz (cooled with Zalman 9700)
    680iSLI motherboard
    4GB Corsair Dominator RAM
    AX860 860W Corsair Platinum PSU
    Silverstone TJ07 case
    5 HDDs
    30 inch Apple Cinema Display
    PSU is brand new, the rest, bar some HDDs is from 2006... Planning on upgrading to the following in the not too distant future, which should hopefully be a better match for this GPU:
    CPU: i73930K
    CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 *2011* Dual Radiator CPU Cooler
    Motherboard: Asus P9X79 Pro
    RAM: 32GB Corsair, 8GB DIMMs, quad channel.
    If any one can help with this fan issue I'd really appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Robert
    (also, should I be seeing a large improvement over my previous GTX 480, or will the improvement be minor due to the other parts of the system being old?)

    Hi guys, thanks for replying.
    I've barely had the chance to test the card yet, but so far it seems very good indeed - There is nothing 'wrong' with it at all that would require a vid to demonstrate (it starts up just like a 'normal' video card).
    The only thing I'm talking about is the automatic 'msi dust removal tech' as mentioned in reviews and on the box, also here (albeit for the GTX580): http://event.msi.com/vga/msifantechnology/page3.html - As I said I really liked the sound of this feature as I tend to hold onto my components for a long time and thus longevity is important to me. Seems like some people would rather have a quiet start and thus msi patched it out with a vbios update, however personally I'd rather have 30 seconds of noise and a better performing/longer lasting unit.
    So yes, what flobelix is talking about is what I was asking: an older vbios would re-enable the 'msi Dust Removal Tech,' but unfortunately it sounds like I'd lose other updates. I was hoping the only update was the removal of this feature in which case I could just use the previous vbios. Would you agree that it's best to just stick with the latest vbois? What other updates would I be missing out on and what is GOP support?
    Thanks a lot for the info/help, much appreciated.
