MSi GF4 Ti4800 temp and NTH bridge fan

Hi there
As you can see in my sig, I have an MSI GF4 Ti4800 in a Neo875P PCB2 mobo. At the weekend I encountered a bit of a problem. After about 6 hours of use, with the CPU running at 100% most of the time (at 46 - 49 degrees) I started to get strange patterns scrolling vertically down the screen.  I was unable to make out anything on the screen so I had to hit the reset button. When the machine had rebooted, I ran sppeedfan (v4.13) which reported the GF4 was reaching a temp of around 60 degrees ! When the temp got above 65 degrees I got the wierd patterns again.
This is the first time I've really had a long session since I installed this mobo. Everything else is quite cool - CPU, HD's and case.
Is the fact that the North fan is right above the H/S on the GF card causing the card to over heat ? I've removed the fan that came with the card (I've have the card about 14 months or so) and replaced it with a Thermaltake cooper H/S and fan. This HAS made a difference, the temp has not risen above 60 degrees - but this is still really hot.
Is there anything else I can do ? Does the North bridge fan blow or suck ?
Is there much improvement (performace wise) to be had in upgrading to a FX5900 128mb card (MSI or Gainward Gold Sample) ? The MSI FX5900 XT-VTD128 has a fan at the back and front of the card, so I'm wondering if this will foul on the north bridge fan ? Anyone using one of these ?
Thanks as always
Fred

Hi m8 i have a similar set up to yourself and found that my graphics card was bloody well hot!!!!
what i done was added a port blower to the left hand side of the graphics card (the fan side) and it fits like a glove without blocking the graphics card fan.
I was left with the problem of the rear heatsink hotting up!!!,,, the cure was to use a spare fan i had off a pentium 2 heatsink and i stuck it on with evostick and routed the 3 pin connector to the motherboard.
It is on solid and the card now runs cool,i did off set it so it blew directly onto the indentation of the heatsink where it contacts the gpu chip..... hope this helps m8...baz

    Hi there
    Posted this in the MOBO forum, but got no reply, maybe because this is mainly a Graphics card question ! DOH !

  • GF4 Ti4800 SE bad peformence

    I got a GF4 Ti4800 SE, and i cant get good peformance with it.
    I play most Unreal Tournament and UT 2003.
    My fps in Unreal Tournament is really lousy  :(
    A friend to me got a GF4 4600
    When we are at the same spot in UT he has fps like 120 average, and i got 60....sucks imo
    I have tried everything i think, Drivers, BIOS, fixing  adjustments in the card etc etc........
    When i did a 3Dmark2001SE test, i got poor 5178 result  8o
    I would be very happy if i could get some help    )
    /Mania

    You know, no matter what way you cut it, you 4800 (Which I have) has a 4200 engine.... there is no way that it can compare to the top of the line GF4 card, the 4600ti ... take a look for yourself.... power tweaks ect won't help.... a 8x AGP slot may help.... I get the same FPS in unreal that you do, about 60 +/- on any map... I run a ASUS MB with a AMD 2000 XP and 512 gig ram...  rember this... you bought the card cauze it was a deal... and that's what you got... the human eye can only see 23-30 FPS anyway, so as long as it doesn't drop too much, I would not worry about it, wait for the top of the line FX cards to drop, and then buy that....   btw, here's that link http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce4ti.html

  • Weired voltage cpu temp and fan speed readings

    Built this system last week when i install core center I get no 3.3 v readings. cpu temp plays between 18c to 60c and the fan speed from 800 t0 6000rpm. Check in the bios all voltage readings are fine but cpu temp and fan readins can be way off. Also installed lastest versions of mbm and get the same results. Flashed bios to latest version also. Cool and quiet is not activated.

Don't know what can be the problem. Please help not the first systeme I have built but first time I encounter this problem. Tried 3 different psu for testing and get the same result.

    Well sorry to say I solved the problem for good. Contacted MSI support. Only answer I got was Maybe the board was bad. Got it exchanged from the store and got an Asus av8 deluxe rev.2 instead. Everything runs fine. It was my first MSI board and sad to say it gave me a lot of headaches and configeration problems. The new setup ran great on the first try. Don't  think I will buy MSI again in the near future.

  • Help needed pls!!! GF4 Ti4800 SE 8X on MSI 845 Ultra?

    Hi folks,
    I just purchased a GF4 Ti4800 SE 128mb 8X.
    I own a MSI 845 Ultra ARU (6398), I understand this board only supports up to 4X AGP, but the GF4 card should be able to "downgrade" to work with a 4x motherboard, I hope.
    Booting up is ok, but graphics start to tear on the window start-up screen. At the desktop, once i click the mouse, the desktop will hang like for 1 sec, then the monitor switch to Black screen, and then back desktop, this repeats when i click the mouse. There are also some weird colors here and there.
    Can anyone pls advise?

  • Axis 700 - CPU Temp and Sys Fan Control Problems

    I have just received an Axis 700 barebones. I ordered a 700 Lite with the fanless processor but I received a system with C7-D 1.5GHz processor and a system fan !. The heatsink looks the same as the Titan 700.
    The BIOS and PC Alert report a CPU temp of 64C immediately on start-up rising to 70C at idle and 100C under heavy load. System temp is steady at aound 30C. I've measured the heatsink temp with thermometer and it's about half the value reported by PC Alert.
    The system fan in the heatsink is running at full speed but BIOS and PC Alert reports 0 rpm. If I slow the fan almost to a stop with a piece of paper, I do get a fan speed of 1000-2000 rpm.
    It feels like a BIOS problem but the MSI website only has a single version, v1.00. My board has version v1.1B4.
    Does anybody have a similar experience?

    It could be something wrong with the CPU FAN, else if you think that its BIOS issue you can ask MSI here: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/

  • 640x480 and above, capture with MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP

    could anyone successfully perform this operation ?
    The weird thing is that if I set a capture of something like 5 fps in VirtualDub and 640x480 (I tried with several codecs and thought that decreasing the fps would improve the bandwidth usage), it still doesn't want to capture anything -> 0 frames. The maximum I can get (15% frames lost) is 320x200 at 30 fps.  I tried to capture directly to memory as it's supposed to be very fast, no luck.
    Maybe my system is not monster enough, don't know....   ?(   Or could that be the card which is limited for this ?
    MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP - 1 gig RAM (DDR 333), Athlon XP 2100, IBM ICL35 120 GB - OS : W2K.
    WDM 1.16 from MSI-CD. I tried with WDM 1.08 too.

    your system is fine for this kind of job....
    i have no problem in capturing full pal (768x...) in 30 fps (using included wincoder and mpeg1 or mpeg2 codecs) 60% cpu load on duron @1380
    virtual bud will need somethong better then 1,3gh duron but i got no problems with 640x480 divx pro 5.02 25fps on my current sysetm (but the cpu load is high 75-90%) (0% frame lost)
    some motion codecs (mjpg) will need both fast cpu and fast hdd....
    uncompresed will produce so much data that even very fast hdd's will by to slow
    but it is in fact weird 15% frame lost on 320x200 is much to high.. what board are u using?? are the latest 4in1 drivers instaled (very important for w2k) by shure that agpx4 and bus mastering are on... are u using any other extensin cards (tv tuner, off board sound, ide, lan??) if yes try removing them

  • Activate fan Connector on MSI GF4 Ti4400

    My Gf4 Ti 4400 has a extra fan connector thar I would like to use to connect a 80mm fan that is on my case, I have no more connectors free on MB, The problem is that, the connector doesnt work, does anyone knows how to activate it??? hope for reply's
    thanks in advance

  • CPU Temp and Fan Speed

    Hi
    According to SMC Fan Control and iStat my CPU is running at 74C currently and often 90C under light load with associated fan speed of 6200 rpm. I have checked activity monitor and very little load on CPU jsut safari and Activity Monitor have any significant usage ( 10% ish). Is this a 'normal' CPU temp and if not are there any ways to check cooling or in crease cooling, ultimately to keep the fan low and noise down,battery life up??
    many thanks

    thanks for the response.
    'All processes' is selected - showing 50-70% CPU idle. MacBook has good ventilation, sitting on a hard table. I upgraded the HD a while ago, to a 7200 rpm 320GB unit, would this make a difference?

  • AMD Athlon 64 3000 Idle temp and Fan Speed needed.

    Does anybody out there know what the CPU idle temp and fan speed should be? My Core Center shows 28C and 3308 rpm. Not sure if this is correct.

    I'd be dancing on top of whatever if I got a 28C idle....

  • Satellite P750-10R idle temp and fan speed

    I have just received a P750-10R and I am wondering if the idle temp and fan speed is normal. I do not have it on eco mode and the processor is at around 50 on core 1 and 47on core 2. According to the Health Monitor the fan runs at 71% speed which is rather loud in my opinion.
    The ambient temp here is not very high, maybe 21-23 celcius.
    Does anyone have a similar model that behaves the same way?
    Regards,
    Danel

    Small update on the issue.
    Switching to eco mode will shut off the fan for a short time. Switching back from eco mode puts the fan immediately at approx. 67% speed, no matter what is running at the time. Fan doesn't seem to run at any speed under 67% but can go higher.
    Could it possibly be the recent bios update? I didn't run the computer for very long on the bios it shipped with, so I haven't got a comparison base between the two versions.
    Regards,
    Danel
