MSI GTX 980 + Afterburner Fan Controll

Hio
i only have one simple question, will afterburner support fancontrol of both fans of the msi gtx 980 in the future??
thats the only thing preventing me to buy a msi gtx 980 because i dont want 2 seperate programms to have control of both fans... and i can only set custom fan curves for 1 fan with afterburner...
And as i heard with the msi fan control tool i can only set fixed speeds not fan curves.
the msi gtx 980 is already out now for over 6 month and still afterburner didnt support both fans... so i think it will not happend?
best regards
Knight

on several other forums that is discussed, afterburner only controls the gpu fan the other one can be controlled with msi fan control tool.
and yea 960 and 970 didnt have seperate fan controls, they bind together.
Exactly right. MSI decided to use two controllers on the 980. AB will not change in order to control both per the programmer of AB. Tell MSI not to do this kind of thing in the future if this concerns you.

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.

@Nichrome Off-topic
But can you please help me with the new bios for gtx 970.
I did as Svet asked and created a new topic with bios attached and S/N. But he is offline now and hopefully you can help me.
Continue with your own topic then.

MSI GTX 980 Gaming issue

Hi everyone,
Recently I upgraded the BIOS of my msi gtx 980 gaming and i discovered an issue which I don't know how to fix.
I did upgrade my bios with the official bios from msi live updater 6.
old bios was nv317mh.112
new bios is nv317mh.113
The problem:
My boost clocks were somehow changed and i don't understand why...
before the update my boost clocks were the normal 1291(gaming) and 1317(OC)
after the update my boost clocks changed to 1329(gaming) and 1357(OC)
I did reinstalled the 112 version again and see if it could fix but it didn't fix this issue
I don't have any profile or OC in my msi afterburner.
GPU-Z shows the normal clocks (1291/1317) and my afterburner shows the modified clocks(1329/1357).
They were syncronized before the update.
My card is v317-03S so the bios should be right.
Pls help i don't understand what's causing this issue...

Hmm I don't understand the issue. Are you trying to tell that current clocks are higher than advertised?
Yes. After the update my "default" clocks changed somehow.

VBIOS for my MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G request

Hi,
May I request VBIOS for my MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G S/N: 602-V317-03SB1409089224?
If possible please provide me with original NV317MH.111 that came with graphic card and the newest one.
PS. I upgraded NV317MH.111 to NV317MH.130 by means of MSI Live Update and now when using MSI Gaming APP to switch speed profiles, the GPU speed values shown in GPU-Z don't match the speeds for original Silent, Game and OC profiles for this card. What's wrong?

Connection MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G with 2560x1440 monitor

Hi.
I'm going to buy WQHD (2560x1440) monitor. How to connect MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G to use 2560x1440 resolution? The specification for card states:
DVI Connectors
1 (Dual-link DVI-I)
Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
HDMI Connectors
1 (version 1.4a/2.0)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @24 Hz (1.4a), 3840x2160 @60 Hz (2.0)
DisplayPort
3 (version 1.2)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @60 Hz
I prefer connection over DVI but according to above spec I'm affraid if will be impossible...
I've heard the picture quality over HDMI/DisplayPort is worse then over DVI - is it right?

Quote from: CSIG1001 on 23-October-14, 07:34:58
This cannot be possible Dual Link DVI is capable up to 2560x1600
I just purchased 2x 980s gaming and all the current cards only support DVI up to 1 (Dual-link DVI-I) Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
This is incorrect unless MSI HQ R&D did not test 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 res or they put crappy components inside this card to not allow it. I went back and fourth with owners on newegg with this card one owner did verify that it does work . For me I own a Monitor that only uses DVI dual link at 2560x1440. This will be a deal breaker for me if the cards do not work with my monitor or the video cards do not function correctly.
This does not make any sense what so ever for a manufacture to implement this standard as the majority of the population isnt even on 2560x1440 or 4k. So i am pretty upset about how tech support fails to acknowledge the reasoning behind this new DVI standard . Go look at the 760-780 series all say max res 2560x1600.
So my question to everyone out there who owns this card am i screwed or should i just use my dual link cable to run 2560x1440 even though it states 2048x1536 max res. Someone that i know online says it works so whats the deal?
FYI this video card does support a max res of 2560x1600 over DVI
Tech support for MSI and Sales department were not trained correctly to let the customer understand that Max Resolution on the website for DVI 2048x1536 is for using the analog VGA adapter
Hope everyone now understands! Because this took me 4 hours of my time to figure out on my own with the help of Newegg tech support and verified owners!

MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G latest BIOS?

Hello, I have the MSI GTX 980 GAMING 4G and I was wondering which BIOS is the latest.
MSI Live Update 6 reports I have NV317MH.143 installed but offers to install NV317MH.113, which one is newer?
Also I would like to be able to use the Windows 8/8.1 feature in my bios but there is no GOP driver/firmware installed.
S/N: 602-V317-11SB1411003928
I have also another problem I noticed after installing this card. Windows 8.1 Pro wont sleep the monitor or activates the screensaver. Any idea if it's related to the graphics card? Someone suggested it was due to the low mhz the card was running on?

The one suggested by LIve Update is later (new universal vbios that covers more batches than your current one)
All GTX980 vbios versions are UEFI/GOP ones. If you can't enable Fastboot problem is with your board.

MSI gtx 560TI TFII fans

Hi everyone, before all, i'm sorry for my bad english.
I've got some troubles with my msi gtx 560 ti TFII. one of the fan is broken (two "fins", i don't know how you call that, are broken). it gets quite warm (i have to play in 1440x900 to get it under 60°C during games like assassin's creed brotherhood or batman arkham city, with medium setting.
I can't go any higher because over 60°C, the fans are getting very noisy, sounds like a plane in my case.
So, I'd like to know if I can replace my fans myself, where to buy it? And if I can put an aftermarket cooler on it. I've been told by arctic cooling that the accelero twin turbo II would fit, but it is out of stock everywhere here in belgium/france... Any other idea for a very quiet cooler?
Thanks.

No! Nvidia controlpanel was set to max perfomans and windows power options to high perfomance.
I changed nvidia to adaptive (windows stayed high perf) and now the clocks to come down again.
Thanks Svet!
There is still a OC problem when i set core clock over 1000MHz.
I just ran 3dmark11 at following overclock core 1040MHz
shader 2080MHz
memory 2100
core voltage 1.075+0.013
In results window the 3dmark11 says core clock 1040.
Afterburner 2.3.1 monitoring window says max core clock 1000
shader 2000
memory 2099
Although i´m not seeing shader adjusting bar in 2.3.1, there are only core clock adjusting bar.
But adjusting a core clock will adjust shader x2. Am i right?

MSI GTX 980 GAMING Coil whine!

Just got my GTX 980 Gaming yesterday...... AND it has terrible coil whine!
No point in having silent fans, if the coils whines like pigs!
Just writing this to warn others, mine is going back to the dealer tomorrow.
Tried all MSI profiles (Silent, Gaming and OC) and the noise frequency varies, but it's always there under load in most games. Easiest way to test might be running folding@home on the GPU, which for me causes very solid whine - all the time.
And yes I'm sure it's the GPU, not the PSU (which is a solid Seasonic in case anyone would like to know).

I returned a MSI 970 due to coil whine so loud I could hear it down stairs in the kitchen! I could just hear it outside the room at idle, and when high fps etc it could heard down one set of stairs!
I've had numerous issues with 970's from all companies.
I had two PNY's originally, one the fan never came on unless I pushed it and the other made weird noises from the fan and a low ticking noise from somewhere.
Then went on to two Zotac Omegas, which ran hot even with the fugly 3 slot cooler, and didn't overclock worth beans (the PNY's beat it slightly!) The OC+ and Firestorm are useless and buggy.
Next was one MSI 970 as they only had one in stock (beautiful cards, to bad no backplate) :( It was the one with coil whine bad.
Now trying a MSI 980 that seems good so far (apart from having no backplate :(). A tiny bit of coil whine at very high fps instances, nothing to gripe about.
Even tried two PSU's (an Antec Signature 850W and this EVGA 850W Supernova G2, the whine and issues happened with both, didn't make a difference.)
I expected driver issues to boot, but not this many hardware issues across so many brands. Staying with reference boards and using high quality components seems to work better for these companies than letting them do as they please it seems...
I now have a some banding/flashing issues with this 980 in one game so far, and am hoping its the drivers, but will see as I install more games again...

MSI Z97-G45 Smart fan control Bios v2.0 vs Bios v2.3

Hello
I have an MSI Z97-G45 Gaming motherboard in my new setup with 4ghz i7 4790k and 16gb of ram and so on that i bought a few weeks ago. At first the motherboard had v2.0 Bios and everything worked just fine but as i like maximum compatability and other fixes i upgraded the bios to the latest one v2.3.
In my setup i use the bios smart fan control for both system and CPU fan, i set it at a curve where the fans instantly will rise the fan speed when doing tests like Prime95 and Aida64. When doing the tests the fan rised from idle 800rpm to neded fanspeed for the correct cooling for my CPU and reached maximum 1500rpm in a matter of seconds to keep the CPU cool. This worked perfectly with Bios v2.0 but after i upgraded the bios to v2.3 the smart fan control changed fanspeed extremely slowly, it took almost 50sec for the fan to speed up from 800rpm to 1500rpm when stressing the CPU at 100%. When i stoped the stress test the fans slowed down to idle 800rpm very fast with bios v2.0 but with bios 2.3 i took a looong time to slow down to idle speed again from 1500rpm.
Because of the slow changing fanspeed in bios v2.3 i downgraded to v2.0 again and then my fans works just as i want them to do.
What is the reason for this problem/change in bios v2.3 and will this be fixed in future versions? Is this a known problem with newest bios?
When people will buy this MB and it has v2.3 from factory the smart fan control will not work properly and buyers will not know how good it can acctually be. I think the Smart fan control in v2.0 is super great

Hello,

MSI GTX 980

1) Will 3 Way MSI OC GTX 980 bottle neck i7 4790k?
2) Will the Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler or Swiftech H240-X 90.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler be enough for cooling the above setup?
(3 GTX 980s)

Hi,
>>Posting Guide<<
1) Best is 2 way SLI as it gives best performance and scaling. Also in many games even 2 way SLI might not work properly, so 3rd card will be useless. Depending also on the game. Don't care about 4K mentioned in the video, scaling is pretty much the same just different resolution
2) You want to take GPU coolers and attach a single H100i or...?

MSI P67A-G43 b3 Fan Control ?

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-G43--B3-.html#/?div=Detail
my board has - CPU x 1 / System x 4 FAN connectors
I have a CPU fan and 3 system fans connected. CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan I/O
the 3 system, fans are plugged into #1, #2 and #3 fan ports.
so here is my dilemma. For some reason only my CPU fan and fan 1 and fan 2 or recognized. I can adjust their fan speed as i need to with no problems.
But anything i plug into port #3 or #4 is not recognized for fan control. I have swapped out which fans are plugged into all 4 system fan ports but they dont show up as even being installed when i plug them into #3 or #4. any fan i plug into the 1 or 2 spot is seen and can have speed adjusted.
Anyone know what may be causing this?

There is no monitoring or control for those fan headers, its just a power header. Most MBs only allow control for CPU and Sys #1 and # 2 at most.
If you wish to control more fans, you will need an aftermarket fan controller.

Afterburner - Fan Control of Lightning editions in SLI/Crossfire

Hi guys,
Any chance that MSI will address the issue of not being able to control the middle yellow fan (fan2) anytime? It's been more than a year, they keep selling Lightning editions but not supporting the fan control when used in SLI/Crossfire. It's not like there is only one card out that has this issue or that they will be stopping the Lightning-line.
If anyone has a tool/workaround for this, please let me know.
Thanks!

I am not talking about the CPU fan. As I wrote above, the CPU fan control works.
Its about the case fans. They run @ 100% all the time, the board doesnt seem to control the speed here.

Question about the fans spinning in the MSI GTX 980 gaming

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums and also new to MSI. I just bought one of their 980 gtx gaming cards.
So far it seems pretty awesome. Was a little shocked when I realized that the fans on it don't even start spinning unless the card reaches at least 60 degrees. That's a really neat feature.
However, I opened the side of the case and played some games for a bit to give it a test, and I noticed that even when the fans did start, they didn't both always start. At first it was just the right one, but then the left started as well after a while.
Then a bit later, I noticed the right one was off and the left one was stopping.
Is it normal for these MSI cards to be independent of each other?
thanks.

Frankly I didn't even bother finding out my stable clocks on stock voltage this time around and went directly to +87mV. I have a case with so-so airflow, and yet OC'ed, max load I never see temps above 72C (with 100% fan profile at 65C which is the max temp before Maxwells throttle).
