MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk SLI Temperature too high

Hi,
Two days ago I bought a second GTX560-Ti hawk (Twin Frozr III) to run in SLi with my other (the exact same card). I noticed that the VRAM temperature of one of the cards (I'm guessing the top one, but I'm not 100% sure) got really high. It got to something like 90 degrees celcius. Core temperature was ok for both cards, a little bit higher than when running a single card but I suppose that is to be expected.
Also when I stopped doing anything when it got to that temperature I noticed that the VRAM temperature wasn't going down very fast.
I've tried both cards separately and didn't observe those temperatures so I'm guessing the cards are ok. It's only in SLi modes that these have issues. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to fixing this problem, as right not I cannot play any games because I'm worried that the temperatures will become too high.
It's worth mentioning I have a MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) motherboard.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Actually I got a new case and put everything in and did as you said (switched the cards) and got no screen at all.
If I switch the cards to the original set up it works like I described before. I'm guessing the second card is faulty and I will RMA it.

MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk Load Temperatures

I just got my MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk within the last week. It's a nice 37 degrees on idle but runs at 75 degrees on load with fans running at 70-76% taken from GPU-Z. I tried running it with the case open with a large fan blowing into the case but the temperatures only dropped 3-4 degrees to 73-74 degrees. Before getting the Hawk I read reviews that it should run between the low 50s to at most high 60s if the fan speed switch set to "silent". But for mine, the switch is set to "performance" but I couldn't get similar temperatures. Any help for my situation? :/
Oh yeah here are my PC Specs:

The ambient temeperature is around 27 degrees on average at night here where I stay and was 27 degrees when I took the readings.
All hardware is runnign at stock voltages and speeds, no overclocking has be done at all on any component.

I have the same card, but temp really hot!!
I've played dirt 3 and temp gone to 85C, it maked crash the game to windows.
I've try using 3DMark Vantage, temp going to 87C.
Is this normal?
Should I RMA this card?
Thx before..
RMA it

Dear MSI Support & all guys
I bought a new gtx 960 but after i boot my pc sometimes it shows no display on monitor...sometimes it shows till windows loading but after that no display on monitor...i had worked out a temporary solution. When that happens...

MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk - can a pc case make a difference.

Can a PC case make the components sound worse?
I've got the Antec Def-Con 35 and the entire pc sounds very noisy - i mean i can hear the computer is switched on even from across the hallway.....I've got the MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk and according to many reviewers like http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4049/msi_geforce_gtx_560_ti_hawk_video_card_review/index17.html
the graphic card is a very quiet card with high performance.
Do you think another case can make a difference? My friends i7 with GTX460 in a NZXT Hades case has a very nice soft whoosh playing BC2 at full graphics while mine is definitely much louder.

I've had a 260 GTX OC Twin Frozr, 465 GTX Twin Frozr ll, 460 Hawk Twin Frozr ll and now a 560 GTX Ti Twin Frozr ll and none of then made much noise till fan speed went over 70-75 % running Furmark on them. In normal daily use the front fan in my case makes more noise than anything else in it. I would bet that all of those case fans you have are probably making too much noise. I have 1 front & 1 rear case fan and they are all that's needed to keep noise down & provide enough airflow for cooling my rig in the Cooler Master Elite 330 case. If your 560 is running to hot and the fans at high speed then remove the HSF on it and replace the TIM on it There seems to have been quite a few MSI cards that needed this done. I guess I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have that problem.
Take a cardboard tube like what paper towels come on and isolate what fans are making the loudest noise.

GTX560 Ti HAWK Load Temperatures

Hello.
I bought my GTX560 Ti HAWK one month ago. It's load temperatures goes up to 75c degrees on various games (Crysis 2, Battlefield 3 etc.).
Fan speed is on Auto and it only speeds up to %55. My case is HAF932, should have one of the best coolings around (In fact I haven't seen a better one so far). It has 4 fans, 3x23cm (front, side, top) 1x14cm (rear). Front and side are intake, top and rear are exhaust fans. There are 15cm gaps outside of rear and side fans. There is nothing heat producing near the case. The heater is at least 2 meters away from it. Room temperature is at 25c degrees.
The card quickly goes to 75 degrees even after 10 mins of playing so i believe this should verify it has nothing to do with case cooling.
My other hardwares are perfectly cooled. My overclocked to 3.2GHz Q9400 never goes above 50 degrees on load. Disks are between 30-35 degrees (Tough there are 4 of them, one is being an SSD, they may block airflow from front fan but i think the card gets enough cold airflow from side fan. I can feel the coldness when i hold my hand next to it). The PSU is on the bottom so this may cause extra heat for the card, but it doesn't really produce any extensive heat. (I can touch it at load without feeling almost no heat at all.)
Clocks are at it's defaults, and the default voltage is 1050mV. I've read some lower voltages by default, or lowered one's by users, like; 1020mV, 1000mV or 950mV. Some even say it's stable on 950mV so i thought of lowering it myself too but wanted to check with you and try other possible ways first.
Lastly, in the Aida64 (previously known Everest) there's a temp called GPU Ambient, I contacted to the developer and he said it equals to the memory temp on latest Afterburner (which the one comes out of the box doesn't show any temp other than GPU dioda.) And this one, memory temp, goes to 99c degrees on load.
My previous card HD4870 got burned after use of 2 years so I'm really worried about this and I don't want it to happen again.

Really? It may be fine for now but can you guarantee that it won't burn after it's 2-years warranty expired? Quoting from Guru3D's review: "The temperature under heavy game stress for the card load stabilized at roughly 65 Degrees C." There's no mention about fan speed, but it's said that the noise level is 42dba, so It should be close to mine. Now I don't know what (if any) was used as the case for cooling but I highly doubt it's anything better than HAF932's, which clearly seems not the issue here since the heat almost immediately goes there after a short time spent on load. I'd at least understand it if it didn't go above 70c, but 75 is a bit unknown for longer use. There's also memory temp, 99c is risky aswell. I know memory temps can be higher than others and memories can operate at higher temps, but I think it's still risky for a 3 or 4 years use.

MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC BE too high stock voltage

Hi, this is my first post so please be gentle with me
I just bought a MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC BE video card which is 960mhz stock speed, but I found out that this card has a too high stock voltage which displays 1.18v in GPUZ and 1.25v in afterburner. I don't think the card can last long with such a high voltage so I want to lower it.
I try to adjust the voltage in afterburner, it seems it changes in the software (the slide did change). But GPUZ still displays the same voltage.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

Quote from: tails on 07-April-13, 22:29:57
Thanks for the reply.
I've found the solution for that. I downloaded the version 3.00beta9 of afterburner and now it can change the vcore.
I changed the vcore from 1.25 to 1.05v. Now the card is running at 1050mhz, 57degree with 60% fan speed, cool and quiet. Before was 75 degree and 80% fan speed.
I'm satisfied now.
Ive got Afterburner 2.31, its allows undervolting as well. But problem is that in boost mode new values are ignored and back to default. So in that case cant see any sense in doing that. Is that changed in ver 3?

U430p Touch temperature too high

Good morning everyone,
I have the Lenovo U430p Touch (Grey 59427963):
i7-4510U
NVIDIA Geforce GT 730M
8GB Ram
500GB + 8GB 5400 rpm
Since very young, I was always into gaming, being the clevo P370EM my previous "laptop". I've decided to go for a lighter smaller laptop and I chose the Lenovo U430.
I have this Lenovo laptop now, for the past 9 months. apart from the normal tasks (browsing, video chating, music videos, excel documents, image editing....) I play a few games as well (League of Legends, Path of Exile and Grid 2).
I haven't modified the laptop in any way. Everything is up to date - OS and drivers.
i like the games to run smooth so Im not even on high graphics, I reduced them to have more fps.
since the beggining the laptop allways worked fine, temperatures where never too high...
but for the past 1.... 2 months, I started noticing that it gets too hot in when playing, and even when im bworsing on youtube for example...
I was wondering that I should/could open the laptop to clean the dust (i've used the Dust Removal tool from lenovo Power management but it barely helps....) and also to renew the thermal paste.
However, I was not able to find much info on this.
The image below is from Notebookcheck, could you guys let me know wich one is the GPU and wich one is the CPU, and also:
does both the GPU and CPU use thermal paste? or is it only the GPU?
Would it be a good idea to renew the thermal paste? (I would take the laptop to any store capable of doing this)

Thank you

First, I would recommend that you download HWMonitor which is a free utility that will report your system's temperatures. That way you will know if "hot" is really too hot. The download comes in two versions. The first will install on your computer. The second version is a Zip file that can be copied onto a flash drive and used as a portable application. You can download HWMonitor here....
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
Secondly, I would recommend that you blow out the cooling vents on your computer if you have never done so. Given the time in use, the environment in which you use you laptop, the heatsink and fan maybe covered in dust. Dust on the cooling fins will decrease the cooling efficiency and dust caked on the fan's blades with decrease performance. Can of compressed air are available at any computer or electronics stores. They maybe also found in the electronics section of big chain stores. Just use short bursts of compressed air in the exhaust and intake vents. Do this several times until you no longer notice dust being blown out. Avoid long blasts of air as that may damage the fan.
Thirdly, if you decide take the computer in to have the thermal paste renewed I would recommend finding an Lenovo Authorized Service Center since the laptop is still under warranty. The repair center will renew all the thermal paste under the CPU or GPU. You can find an authorize center by using the link below. Select your country, enter in your city and check the back box for Warranty Service Provider. Here is that link......

MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk SLI not available

I have 2 MSI GTX 560Ti Hawk and when I go into Nvidia control panel SLI is not available as an option.
Both cards are visible and working properly in both the Device manager and the Nvidia control panel and the bridge is installed between the cards.
I am using Nvidia driver 285.62 which I have completely removed and reinstalled to try and solve the problem.
The only strange thing I noticed when installing the cards is that there is a small switch next to the SLI bridge that is marked Performance and Silent. When I opened the boxes one card had the switch was set to performance and the other was set to silent. Looking on the net I found that this was how aggressive the fan control was so I set them both to silent. After running into the problem of no SLI I also tried shutting down the machine and moving both switches to Performance but this didn't fix the issue.
Motherboard is a MSI Z68A-GD65 and Live update 5 says its up to date.
Any pointer on where to look would be appreciated.

K problem sort of solved. I installed an old nvidia driver 270.61 and it works perfectly. Guess I'll just use the old drive until a game is giving me major issues and then see if a new drive is safe.

Is 95C CPU temperature too high?

I have Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. When I use QuickTime or any other video converting software to convert video for my iPhone CPU temperature hits 95C mark. Is it too high? Should I do something about it. If yes what should I do? It is the only situation when CPU temp is so high usually it is not higher then 70C when loaded.

Hi,
thats normal that the CPU of an mobile system gets hotter, I mean your much more near the CPU then by an desktop. Thats normal that you could think the CPU gets too hot.
I have an Satellite X200 (Gamer machine) and the thing gets really hot, but thats normal since a powerful CPU is in there.
If I were you I wouldnt make any doubt about it and if youre unsure just ask some of your friends which owns a notebook. Usually they would say "yes, mine gets hot, too.."
The 100 degree means that the CPU can become such hot till it reaches 100 degree and then the machine shuts down to prevent to some damage on the CPU.
So in this case the 70 degree are okay. You (can by the way) prevent overheating when you clean your machine regurarely simply by blasting some compressed air gently through the ventilation holes of the CPU cooling system. If not then the cooling modules will be clogged from dust and start to overheat...

MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk - i like it now....

For the first in 2 weeks after getting the pc i'm liking my system now. Initially i had a noise issue with the MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk - it was running very noisely - like a vacuum cleaner after 10-15 min of BC2. what is my solution?- I've used Afterburner to undervolt by 100% and also decreased the clock speed to something 700+.... and it's running at approx. 62-63 celcius with just a constant low frequency fan noise. No more higher pitch helicopter taking off sound.....so the secret is undervolting and underclocking the card to get the quietness. Am i missing anything if i do that? How come no none has suggested it before - i've bought TIM (Arctic AS5) but think i'll hold back from using it first since i like what i'm getting now.
I've still got to play a bit more to see if the temp will climb together with the fan noise.......

Quote from: Newbie121 on 30-October-11, 06:39:48
What did you mean MSI cheated??? Based on the Guru3D reviews the MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk is the champion - that's why i bought the card in the first place - according to the reviews and numbers/performance the card WAS the best choice......but i'm still reading a lot of users complain about the fan noise & temps. Is this one of the most mis-represented Graphic card or are these normal responses from graphic card users.....do all graphic cards users report/complain about their fan noise/temps.
Nope. My old palit 460 oc was audible under load but its performance was within 5% of reviews.
So I was happy with that.
My card is so far off reviewed specs. I guess i'll RMA on Monday and hope against hope the next card can run at stock speeds at full load at less than 60% fan (that's all I want)

Are my temperatures too high? GTX580 TFII

I just got a MSI 580 Twin Frozr II OC and it works fine. It's just that I feel like it's getting a bit too hot compared to what I've read in reviews and posts online.
if my computer is idle, the temperatures are around 40deg C at 40% fan speed. If I play Battlefield 3, it gets to around 87-89Deg C at around 70% fan speed (I've never seen it go above 89deg).
Are these dangerous temperatures? I'm not getting artifacts or anything, I'm just worried it's bad for the card over time..
I have one 120mm fan at the rear and one 120mm on the side sucking air out, and one in the front blowing air in. They are all silent type fans with relativly low RPM.

are you using dual screen?
the card stay in 3d mode when you are using 2 screen, you can force 2d mode with nvidia Inspector (sorry I only have french link : http://www.overclocking-pc.fr/forums/showthread.php?t=23670)
my temp were at 41°C IDLE before I know that, now 28°C ....

MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk - underclocking and lowering temp/fan noise

So the most common feedback about the MSI GTX 560 is that it runs hot and it's noisy.
What happens if i underclock via Afterburner? Surely i don't need it to run the card OC right there's plenty of frames available..... when i underclock i can't seem to notice any difference when i'm playing BC2. My frame rates are still approx 80-over 100+, that's high right?
Is frame rates the key factor in a smooth game play - what reduced frame rate should be be avoiding? Anything else to watch out for?
What else can i adjust in Afterburner to get the card to run cooler and quieter? - i read that i shouldn't reduce the memory speed though.......since that can slow down the processing.......

I'm no expert but I am having temp and noise issues with an MSI 560 card so I'm sharing what i know.
Overclocking is often a kudos thing.
The actual framerate increases are marginal unless you are hovering around the 24fps avg mark then juicing the card a bit can get you above 30fps mark ( a gamers minimum)
I to don't like to hear a hair-dryer in my PC when I game so to get the fans to go slower you need to make the card produce less heat.
Undervolting does not effect framerate , reducing voltage reduces heat but, if pushed to far, will cause games to crash out or artefact meaning you need to add a bit more back in.
Technically you can run the card at 99 degrees and you could could maintain that temperature at a lower fan speed than trying to run the card at 70 degrees.
You could try to find a stable undervolt (a good few hours of gaming with no artefacts of crashed) with every other setting at stock.
To find an acceptable fan profile you can run a game windowed (so you can keep an eye on temps) put lots of AA onthe game just to make sure the gpu is at 100%. See how high the temp goes, you can then find your optimum balance between heat and fan noise.
I personally want my card at about 70 degrees under load (allowing it to touch 80 on a hot day when playing games for hours)

Msi 560 ti hawk memory temperature issues

Hello,
I have the same problem seen on this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160911.0. It was old so i opened a new one.
I'm searching for the bios mentionned in this topic because all links are dead.
The french support doesn't help me.
Could anyone share me the bios file please ?
thanks

Can't switch to performance one: my MB, which is Asrock Z68 Extreme4 doesn't won't let me switch.
Performance mode = error code 62, which is= Installation of the South Bridge Runtime Services.
I upgraded BIOS on my board and now I don't have error code but only a black screen.
Still, it shouldn't matter weather it is performance on or not, my memory temperatures are like:
- after boot: around 32
- while playing for example Guild Wars 2 it goes up to 70 and around that magic number there is a sudden spike to 90 and it reaches 95ish
- after turning the game off, temperature stays at 71
In order to go back to idle temperature 31 I need to turn my PC off and turn in on. If I choose reboot it stays at 71.
Contacted MSI official support, but I think it will take them a while to find a solution.
boot with silent, then within windows, switch to performance one and save the vbios,
and upload it.
Quote from: XFM on 04-December-12, 06:56:51
I just noticed today that memory temp on mine running f@h is 104-105C, I guess if that's to be expected with current BIOS I won't worry about it and leave VBIOS as is for now.
S/N ..? current vbios?

Imac temperatures ¿too high?

Hi,
I've owned my Imac G5 for about 6 months now, and the other day I had my hand placed on the top of the screen and I noticed it was quite hot for the normal. I live in Spain and its about 36º in the afternoon (96F), maybe its just the Imac facing the summer, I don't now. Anyway, I'll leave the stats of the temperatures from a widget I've got so you can know a little bit more, thanks
[img=http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/3830/tempsan4.png]

The information Chris CA gave you was absolutely accurate - if your computer gets too hot, the power supply unit will automatically shut it down when it exceeds the recommended temperature, so until that happens, you don't need to worry about it. And you are posting in the wrong place, this is for PPC iMacs, which have not been produced for several years. You have an intel and he gave you the correct forum to post in.
His information was not only correct, but useful as well, if you trouble to read and understand it instead of being snarky!
