MSI GTX 970 4GD5T OC

Hi. I just bought another msi gtx 970 4gd5t oc and have been using them in sli. I noticed that the max core clock for both cards is now 1291 mhz in games. when it was just one it was 1329. Also i checked the bios in msi live update on the new one and it is nv316mh.191 but when i scan for updates it doesnt show up for any new ones. the old msi gtx 970 4gd5t oc bios is nv316mh.192 .  i remember there was a bios update for it when i first got it in live update.
can i update the bios manually to nv316mh.192 somehow? and would it void my warranty?

do not update the other with the VBIOS of your other card as you will run the risk of bricking it as tiny number differences usually signify that the 2 cards have different VRAM chips that required a different profile on each! if you flashed the higher number one onto the other you have a 50/50 chance of its going to be either going to have Erratic behaviour or it will be dead or damaged voiding the warranty as you put a VBIOS not meant for that card on it that caused the issue and you would have to pay MSI to fix it!
if you want a updated VBIOS if available  svet or one of the others can check that for you but you need to supply 2 pieces of information!
1: Serial Number of the card (EG: 000-0000-000000000000000) <-- you can leave off the last 3 digits so it has no identifying information...
2: a copy of the current VBIOS on the card

  • [REQUEST] UEFI / GOP VBIOS for MSI GTX-970-4GD5T-OC

    Hello.
    I have updated the vbios to V316MH.191(84.04.2F.00.50), AFAIK it removes the throttling,  but i would like to rollback because my card now runs hotter. I forgot to backup the old one V316MH.114(84.04.1F.00.5F).
    I would like to know if any of you guys keep that bios and can share it with me.
    Thanks.

  • B2 Error with new MSI GTX 970 :(

    Hi there team!
    Just registered to try and get help. I spent around 6 hours researching + trying all the suggestions throughout many different forums, but the B2 error still persists. I am currently running the following spec:
    Mobo - MSI Z68A-G43 (G3), with version 4.30 ( I flashed bios last night and still no help)
    CPU - Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor, 3.5GHz etc.etc.
    RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb at 1333MHz
    GPU - MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB GDDR5
    PSU - Cooler Master Silent Pro 700W
    I have tried:
    -Taking out the card and using the on-board graphics to flash the bios to later version, No help. (during this process, the B2 error does NOT show up)
    -Upgraded the card to latest nVidia drivers, even uninstalled and re-installed them. No help.
    -Upgraded all the drivers from MSI, i.e. chipset etc. through Live Update 6. No help.
    When the card is in, I cannot even access bios, it just gets stuck at B2 screen for like a minute, and then carries on with the boot process. I am able to play games etc. after the booting, but this error for sure should not be there when the PC boots up. I didn't have any issues with my old GTX 560 TI. I've read different forums saying that it might have something to do with the mobo thinking that something has to be connected to the on-board graphics; or that flashing BIOS helped a lot of users, but not me :(.
    I don't have a second PC to test the card on.
    Literally, I would try anything, please someone just help :(( This card is a beast and I wanna be able to properly use it and not having to worry about this error.
    Thank you very much guys, hope someone can help!

    Man thank you so much! It is finally working!!! Thank you!!!! ))) It is showing correct version in BIOS, does not show B2 error whatsoever, all done! )
    Thanks for your time! You can close thread, but it's very useful for anyone that has this issue!
    Wich version of BIOS do you have installed? Can you OC your processor with new BIOS?

  • MSI GTX 970 not being detected on first PCI-E 3.0 slot of MSI Gaming 5 motherboa

    Hi guys.
    So I recently got myself a new build and some of the components include a MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G GPU and a MSI Gaming 5 mobo. When installing the GPU to the motherboard I found that for some reason nothing was being displayed on the screen. The screen wouldn't display a no signal message but it would stay black when I booted the PC up. However, when I plugged the GPU into the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot it would work and display on the screen. I read on a Tom's Hardware thread of someone with a similar problem and it was recommended to him to check his CPU for bent pins and he later confirmed that was the problem. I have tried the same, but as far as I can tell all of the pins were in their natural state and couldn't find any bent ones.
    But I also discovered something else which really started to confuse me... When I plug in my old GPU (a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti) into the first PCI-E 3.0 slot, it would work normally?! Why would it work fine with my GTX 560 but not my GTX 970?? I have tried everything. Even stripping the pc down to the most basic parts on a wooden surface and tested everything but it's still the same problem. I have also made sure that the display setting in the BIOS is set to PEG, but it would still not display anything when the GTX 970 is in the first slot, but if I plug the HDMI cable directly into my motherboard, even with the GTX 970 installed on the first slot, it would display normally. Also, in my BIOS it doesn't even detect anything being in the first PCI-E 3.0 slot in the Board Explorer menu. But when I installed it in the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot the Board Explorer menu would recognize it, but would say it's running at x8 and not x16. Should I be worried about this?
    My full setup:
    MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard
    Intel i7 4790K
    MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
    Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz 8Gb (2x4Gb)
    Corsair RM 750 PSU
    Corsair H80i CPU cooler
    Any advice from you guys on what to do or what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated!

    remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    also reseat the card into PCI-E slot 1 and make sure its fill very well into the slot

    Hi
    Check graphics card itself, should have a sticker with S/N. Else it might be hard (or impossible) to provide correct vBIOS.

  • REQUEST: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G original bios

    My S/N is 602-V316-03SB1409075224 I would like to request the original vBIOS that my card came with.
    My card had problems with the fans randomly spinning and so I updated to the appropriate bios which was NV316MH.182 and that fixed the problem. However I have noticed since updating that the noise from the card has increased when playing games and today whenever starting any game I get an instant crash and my whole system resets, this happens now even when I'm not playing a game and my computer has been randomly restarting and I know it's a problem with the GPU.
    I am worried that it is most likely that the GPU is failing but I would like to try flashing the card to its original stock vBIOS and seeing if that fixes anything. Even if you don't believe the vBIOS is the problem, I would still very much like to have the stock vBIOS for my card. Thanks!
    I'm on windows 8.1 64 bit.

  • MOVED: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G + MSI Z87-G45 incompatible? Noise on speakers

    This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184068.0

    Used hardware
    MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (+ RMA'ed new one)
    Gigabyte 670 GTX Windforce
    MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard (with Intel i7-4770K, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB, and Crucial M500 - 480GB SSD)
    Asus P5N32-E with Q6600 and 8GB DDR2 (Going to test this)
    SoundBlaster-Z Audio card
    Roccat Kave 5.1 Gaming Headphones (4x 3.5 mm jacks: Front, Rear, Center&bass, Microphone + USB amp/volume control)
    Corsair B600 (600W) PSU (secondary)
    Corsair RM750 (750W) PSU (Primary)
    To summarize
    Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + Gigabyte GTX 670 + Roccat Kave = really faint noise only when scrolling in browser, in game not heard
    Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave = in game loud and heavy noise + screech when scrolling in browser
    Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game moderate to heavy noise
    Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game weak to moderate noise
    Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave with Mic disconnected = Almost no noise, ifg you listen for it, really faint background noise in game. But well within my acceptable limits.
    Tomorrow I'll try:
    Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave without mic
    Corsair RM750 + Asus P5N32-E (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave with mic
    I failed to mention, that the first thing I did was to remove my HD Audio Front panel connector off its header.
    So I did some more searches. The noise has something to do with the capacitors on (presumably) the video card. The higher the pitch usually coincides with higher FPS. So the interference must be coming from the video card, as this is the last thing added and probably the main cause.
    Both the motherboard & the SoundBlaster-Z pick up the EMI/RF interference. (I am disappointed by the SoundBlaster about this).
    I'll test with the older motherboard and see how I proceed from there.

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

     bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
    Hello,
    ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
    Tech specs:
    MB: z87-pro
    CPU: i7-4770K
    GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
    OS: Win7 x64 SP1
    latest OS updates
    latest nVidia drivers
    I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
    I've attached my GPU Bios.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
    Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
    Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
    Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
    What did the BSOD say? Error code?
    Heya, thanks for the reply.
    That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
    OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

  • MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G + RAIJINTEK Morpheus

    Greetings everyone.
    So as I'm aware off, there are no "default" PCB for the 970. Manufacturers were told to create their own PCB or base it off some older PCBs.
    With that said, how would you know if an aftermarket GPU cooler would fit on lets say MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G, since there should be no such things as "reference mounting holes"?
    I have the RAIJINTEK Morpheus GPU cooler laying around alright. But is there no way at all, to know if it'll fit the mention videocard?

    Okay..
    This is my suggestion:
    https://www.overclockers.co.uk/webnote.php
    Presales Enquiry:
    Tell them that you want to buy SPECIFIC graphics card (e.g. MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming Edition 4096MB ) and you also want to buy Rajintek Morpheus for it. And ask if it will fit. You don't have to buy it from them though (don't worry if you live outside the UK, they just provide damn good support on presales questions)
