MSI GTX 460 1 Gb OC & NiBiTor, fan speed mod

A dew days ago, i purchased an MSI GTX 460 1 GB OC graphics card.
This one:
http://hr.msi.com/product/vga/N460GTX-M2D1GD5-OC.html
Problem is, fan is too loud at idle. I've tried using MSI Afterburner but it won't let me
go lower than 40%, which is too much. As Svet is no longer able to mod BIOS (which i perfectly
understand when we look at number of requests he received daily  ) i tried to do it myself.
I saved BIOS with GPU-Z and opened it with NiBiTor. I found an option to change minimum fan speed
from 40 to 30. But, problem is that NiBitoR puts red dot at the "integrity" check, immediately when
I open it. Does this means that NibiTor was unable to properly read BIOS information? Does this mean that I can't safely save a BIOS and will damage my card if I try to flash a card with modded BIOS?
NibiTor is version 6.02. My card is MSI N460GTX M2DIGD5
S/N 602-V232-150B1101136247

My e-mail?  There is nothing there.
I think that GPU-Z has some problems saving my BIOS. When i use nvflash
saving option (from DOS), Nibitor shines a green dot whan i opened BIOS with it! 
I've sent an e-mail with BIOS to Svet, but with the version extracted with GPU-Z. I think
that BIOS was corrupt...

  • MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack beeps when is not on load.

    Hello!
    Yesterday I bought MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack together with FSP Group EVEREST 85PLUS 600W PSU.
    I put it all in my old PC, powered on, but then after a while (when started to install latest MSI drivers for HAWK) my VGA started beeping periodically. These are short beeps in not fixed time interval.
    The most interesting thing is that when I put my card on load, the beeping stops - it beeps only when I am in windows surfing internet etc.
    I have searched through forums and didn't find a clear solution to this problem, but most likely it is a PSU issue.
    MSI states, that card requires 24A on 12V for whole system (Core i7 ...).
    My PSU is capable of the following:
    Output Current:   
     30.0A @ +3.3V DC
        30.0A @ +5V DC
        18.0A @ +12V1 DC
        18.0A @ +12V2 DC
        18.0A @ +12V3 DC
        18.0A @ +12V4 DC
        .8A @ -12V DC
        3.0A @ +5Vsb DC Standby
    Complete configuration of my system is:
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ (Will change soon)
    MB: Asus M2N-E (Will change soon)
    RAM: 2 x 2 GB DDR2 800 (Will change soon)
    HDD: 2 SATA drives
    DVD: 1 PATA drive
    VGA: MSI GTX 460 HAWK Talon Attack
    PSU: FSP Everest 85PLUS 600
    Is there a problem with PSU or something else could be wrong?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi all !
    I also have the annoying beep problem.
    A couple of weeks ago I purchased a GTX460 Talon Attack and as soon as I entered a game I got beeps coming from the card. Tried a 3DMark and Kombustor, same issue. The PC is build by me, had a JeanTech 700W PSU and a GTX260 which gave me no problems, ever. As soon as I replaced it with the 460, the beeping started.
    I returned it to the supplier and i got it back two days ago with the following message:
    "Graphics card passes all Tests with no issues, Tests Run: Crysis WarHead, Furmark, 3Dmark Vantage, AVP, Lost Planet 2, Stone Benchmark MSI Kombuster, Resident Evil Benchmark, ATI Mecha, ATI Ladybug, "
    (Graphics card passes all Tests with no issues, Tests Run: Crysis WarHead, Furmark, 3Dmark Vantage, AVP, Lost Planet 2, Stone Benchmark MSI Kombuster, Resident Evil Benchmark, ATI Mecha, ATI Ladybug, Streetfighter Benchmark and heaven benchmark tool, these were all tested at 1920 x 1200 resolution running maximum settings, tested on DX9, DX10 and DX11 where applicable, there was no issues apparent. There was no bleeping coming from the card)
    Regards,
    Overclockers UK - Support"
    So I bought a brand new Antec TruePower 650W as I thought maybe the PSU does not regulate the voltages properly. No luck, I am still getting beeps but it's very weird. In idle (browsing internet, watching a movie or listening to music) the card is completely silent and sits in 25-29 degrees. As soon as I enter World of Warcraft (for example) and the temperature rises, at 35-36 degrees, I get 4-5 beeps then it stays quiet and I can play normally. (1920x1200 highest settings)
    When I get out of the game and the temp drops, again around 36-35 degrees I get 1-2 beeps and then it remains silent again. No artefacts, errors or freezes. (so far)
    I have seen the round sticker "Warranty void if removed" on the back of the card but I haven't touched it.
    I really don't know what to do with it at this point and it's a very annoying problem, I cannot play anything like this.
    I don't want to RMA it again since it already cost me £30 (transport & testing) plus a brand new PSU. And I love the card, the construction, the looks and the fact that it runs so cold. I just want a "fix".
    Any ideas please ?

    Sorry for the wall of text and thanks in advance. I really hope someone has a solution or it's going to be an annoying Christmas. (I'm a technical PC engineer with a fixation for everything to go smooth)

  • MSI GTX 460 Hawk hangs, need help

    Hello!
    Need help with my MSI GTX 460 Hawk.
    Sometimes it hangs and I need to restart my computer and sometimes screen goes black and then windows says that video driver wasn't responding and was recovered.
    Computer hangs more often in the 3D game, but in not 3D programms computer hangs too, but no so often.
    The temperature is ok, maximum is 70 deg. in 3D game. I even tried to set videocard cooller to 100% and it didn't help.
    I did no overclocking or anything like this.
    I use the latest videodriver from nvidia's website and the latest directx.
    Windows 7 64bit.
    Can you help me to solve this problem?

    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    The problem: Videocard began to hang:
    Sometimes it hangs and I need to restart my computer, sometimes I get BSOD and sometimes screen goes black and then windows says that video driver wasn't responding and was recovered.
    Computer hangs more often in the 3D game, but in not 3D programms computer hangs too, but no so often.
    What I've allready tried:
    1. Installed latest drivers from nvidia.com and latest directx.
    2. Checked temperature: maximum is 70 deg. in 3D game at 100% load. I even tried to set videocard cooller allways to 100% and it didn't help.
    3. Installed MSI Kombustor to burnin test videocard, but I can't catch any hangups with it.
    4. Checked windows system log. The last warning after driver recovery message is:
    Video driver nvlddmkm wasn't responding and was recovered.
    5. Two latest BSODs were caused by dxgkrnl.sys and nvlddmkm.sys drivers.
    6. Finally installed MSI LiveUpdate, it shows that no videodriver is installed and wants to download an old videodriver ver.  258.96.
    Need help to solve this problem.

    RMA the VGA as Henry said
    Small Update:
    two things: 
    First:
    I noticed that the gpuz, report it when VGA is under load ( furmark )  the voltage  VDDC value the higher value is 0.96, is a low voltage ? 460gtx under load  must be near 1.02 ?
    Second:
    My reseller told me that behind the card must have an sticker "void warranty if removed " over OCP protection but the card does not comes with that sticker is that possible ?
    Thanks in advance

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming - monitoring both fans

    Is there a way to monitor the RPM of both fans on then GTX 970 Gaming card.
    MSI Afterburner monitors only one fan
    ... this would also help to determine when the 2nd fan is spinning while the 1st fan
    has stopped and Aferburner is reporting 0 RPM.

    Neither HWinfo nor Speedfan show GPU fan speed at all ...OpenHardwareMonitor at lease shows the fan speed %
    but only for one fan, Afterburner provides both the fan RPM and the % speed, but only for one fan.
    Too bad both fans could not be monitored ...would be pretty useful.

  • GTX 560 Twin Frozr oc Fan Speed

    Just got my new GTX 560 Twin Frozr OC today. I like it alot. But I do not like the fan speed while gaming. I downloaded and installed afterburner, but it only lets me set fan speed to 40%. Is their a way to lower it to like 20% like on reference cards? At idle its quiet but on load it gets loud. It seems louder then stock at load. Is their a bios update or something that will allow this?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the very quick reply and solution. It is the OC version? then good news for me cause i didnt know that
    will try out the instructions. Also if i happen to do a clean install on Windows 7 will i have to follow the same procedure, or does this stick even on a clean install?

    Yes it will stick, and even you if place the VGA into another machine.
    The changes will be done to the VGA itself[not depending of anything else]

  • MSI Z87-G43 can't control fan speed

    Hi, i just bought an MSI Z87-G43 and i'm using a i5-4670 on it (yeah, 4670 without the K).
    I wanted the minimum noise as possible so i bought a Noctua NH-U12P SE2
    Like the pictures shows it has 2 fans.
    I connected the 2 fans on cpu1 and cpu2 fan and both BIOS and Commander Center can see them correctly, but both of them can't change the rotation speed.
    Those fans have a 3 pins connector.
    How can i do it? Now my CPU is cool and i like it, but a little more hot for a little less noise is a good deal (and my goal!)
    thank you

    As alternative you can get a fan controller like Sunbeamtech Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller, it should allow to use 4pin PWM singnal and convert it into voltage control,
    Quote
    Product Details:
    Smart Way Controlling all Fans & Airflow. The Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller is designed to make any existing 3-pin fan automatically regularized by the PWM signal from the Motherboard! With its ability to connect two fans to a single PWM connector at a maximum of 20W/channel, a wide selection of fans can be supported. When a normal fan is connected to the Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller, they become auto adjusting through the PWM signal.
    The Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller operates in two different modes; when connected to a PWM-enabled motherboard you can allow the system to auto-adjust fan speed through he motherboard's temperature sensor. When switched onto manual mode by the pushing of the lever-switch to the right, you turn the connected fan onto manual control mode.

  • Does MSI recommend manual adjusting of GPU fan speed using Riva Tuner?

    My temp goes to 90c whe laying CoD4. Is it safe to adjust the fan speed with Riva Tuner? Bec. i think this is pretty hot. Or is it?

    Yes its safe
    "Bec. i think this is pretty hot. Or is it?"
    No GPU usually is running hot, its normal. If you don't have troubles ignore the temp.

  • MSI GTX 460 1Gb questions

    what's the recommended or lowest settings for this cards fan speed at idle? and would it affect the auto control when the card's temperature rises.
    also I've read an article on how to overclock it but it only mentions roughly how high the core clock can go(825MHz). if i were to increase the shader and memory, how would i approach this or should i?
    haven't tampered with a graphic card before so any additional help/info would be appreciate.

    There's a minimum fan speed in place already if you check in Afterburner. I'd suggest you just leave it to adjust the speed accordingly.
    Overclocking varies on each card. You need to test it youself to find the limit, though be careful you don't push it too far or you may break something. Afterburner is a good tool to use for overclocking the graphics card.

  • MSI GTX 460 Hawk

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased and installed this gfx card. Updated all my drivers and cross referenced with MSI Live 4 to make sure my system is as updated as it can be. My comp specs are in my sig
    I have had a look at the Afterburner software which triggered my concerns. My stock "out of the box" core clock speed is 675mhz (which is a regular gtx460) as opposed to the suggested 780mhz.
    I have done abit of googling and everyone seems to have out of the box 780mhz.
    I was wondering if this is supposed to be the case, where the card under factory settings is 675 and the OC'd edition still requires me to overclock it manually via Afterburner? If theres something wrong, is there anything I can do before taking it back to the store for return/exchange?
    I am pretty sure that the card I purchased is indeed a hawk as there are labels on the card and did not get ripped off. Also I live in Australia (if that matters).
    I would really appreciate any feedback or opinions in regards to this topic.

    Quote from: ggCakes on 14-January-11, 12:11:41
    hmm, they seem to claim that in certain areas the 460gtx hawk is defaulted at 675mhz and should live with it.
    I am quite upset at this "solution", as I did not pay extra money for a hawk only to run it at a normal 460's clock speed
    anyone got the vbios updates etc?
    It's vary either 780 or 810 ==> http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodvgaspec&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=2152
    You have 675 [e.g. yours vary too much..]
    Can you tell the VGA SN?

    Apply new desired clock freq. with Afterburner 2.1.0 Beta 6:

  • MSI GT683 Black Screen and full fan speed at startup

    Hello!
    SO this morning i woke up and was about to start my lovely laptop.
    I pressed the on button and the screen remained black and the fan sped up slowly and slowly, after 10 sec it was at full throttle!
    Yesterday i got tired and put my laptop to "sleep mode" because I meant to use it later, but I fell asleep can something have happened by that?
    I have had this laptop for 3 months, never had a single problem. But now this :(
    And a really need my laptop for school now!
    When i bought it one 2GB ram module was changed to a 4BG so the total would be 8GB, and a 60GB SSD was installed on the second HDD slot.(Boots on 22 sec )
    I have played a few hours of COD MW3 but i have a coolermaster laptop cooling pad with 2 fans, so the laptop did not get so hot when i played.
    So please anyone help?
    (I´ve tried booting with only one ram installed and tried my ssd in my other laptop, both are fine.)

    I know this is an old topic but I just had the same issue and wanted to post my results in case anyone else was having this issue and stumbles on this thread. I was playing a game on my laptop, temperatures were well within the normal range, and suddenly the computer made a sort of "zap" noise and the screen went black. The computer also fell deathly silent but the power light (the shield) was still on. No indicator lights on the mouse pad and the orange lights around the screen had gone out. I had no choice but to do a hard shutdown. When I turned it back on, the screen remained black, the power light remained lit, but no other lights on the computer. The fan was on ultra speed in a way that I have never heard my fan run. I smelled the exhaust to see if I smelled burning but there wasn't any sign of that. Anyway, I let the computer rest, tried again the next day with the same result. I contacted my warranty company, started a claim, and waited for them to send me the box so I could ship my laptop to them. In the meantime, determined as I am  , I tried the laptop several more times in the next few days just to see if I would have any luck. Sometimes the fan would come on and sometimes the laptop would be ghostly quiet but otherwise everything else was the same. Same blackness, same nothingness. I immediately assumed this was a major malfunction, most likely the motherboard. When the warranty company took the information for the claim, they agreed that it sounded like the motherboard or possibly the hard drive.
    Three weeks later, my laptop is on its way back to me. I received word from the warranty company that the issue was the graphics card. This completely blew my mind as I wouldn't expect the graphics card to prevent the indicator lights from flashing, the  soft touch keys at the top of the keyboard, the lights on the sides of the screen, etc. They are the experts however, right? They said the video card malfunctioned. They replaced the video card and now the laptop is in working order. They are sending it back to me now and I should hopefully receive it in the next couple of days.
    Sorry for the looooooong response but I wanted to give as much info as possible because I couldn't really find anything when I was searching for this same issue. Hope it helps someone!
