MSI HD7950(twin frozr) 100% fan speed .. anymore solutions

Hi guys
i purchased a msi HD7950 twin frozr from ebay however it runs at 100% all of the time and no software can tame it ... ive also followed the guide and removed the faulty D201 diode which also never worked as the card still runs at 100% ( speedfan reports 4000rpm )
so apart from the faulty diode and using software is there anything else i can do .... ?
i was considering strapping 2 x 120mm fans to the card powered directly from the psu and a 3rd party gpu cooler ( such as the arctic cooling range ) also came to mind allthough these tend to be expensive
i also considered a fan limiter i got with a previous 3rd party gpu cooler .... if i reduced the fan speed power from 12v to 7v would this make any difference ?
many thanks

Well at what temp does the gpu/ram/vrms run at? Check with Afterburner: >>How to use MSI Afterburner<<

MSI GTX Twin Frozr 780 Fan not spinning

Hello ,
Ive had the GTX twin frozr 780 for 5 months now and every 10 to 20 cold start ups of the PC (sometimes more sometimes less) ,the left hand fan will fail to spin causing the other fan to spin at full speed. Rebooting the PC does not correct it, i have to take the side off the PC and gently tap the fan to get it spinning again, then put the side panel back on, i have put up with this for 5 months now and now had enough of it as it seems to be happening more often.
Please help as this little problem is now becoming very annoying.
When i purchased the msi 780 i got 2 off them to run in sli and the other 780 is fine and has no problems.
Ive been a good customer and have bought 4 top end msi graphics cards in the last few years and this is the only one that i've had a problem with.
When i try and rise a RMA with the place of purchase (DABS.COM) it say on there website that i have to return it back to the manufacturer , but when i try to use the msi website returns service its say that i have to return to the place of purchase ..... please could someone help as this is getting very frustrating now
many thanks Jason

Just got off the phone with dabs.com and there sending a courier in the morning to pick it up for R.M.A .
Thanks for your help.
PS just out of interest have you heard of anyone other people with the same issue, as it is very intermittent and was a bit worried that they may not replace it if they can't replicate the fault.

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]

Does MSI 5850/70 have 100% fan speed for 2-3 secs when turning computer on?

Hi,
I currently have radeon 4870 and would like to upgrade to dx11 hardware. I seems that there are a lot of 4870/5850/5870 cards with stock coolers having this feature: they spin fan at 100% for couple seconds when I turn conputer on. And I don´t really like it. Question is, does MSI 3-in-1 High Efficiency Fan behave similarly on 5850/5870 series? If it does, can it be turn off using Afterburner or BIOS modding?

Yup, all new(er) cards do it, from any brand/manufacturer, so its not just an MSI thing.
And no there is no way to turn it off, unless you can write bioscode, or perhaps mount a different aftermarket cooler.
But why do you want to turn it off, like mentioned, they do this for a reason and its only a few seconds.
Ive said it before and I say it once, the sound is too short and too high pitched to wake people up, unless they sleep next to the computer.
Also, if you mod bios, or mount an aftermarket cooler and some goes wrong, bye bye warranty.

HD7950 Twin Frozr - glitching out - new build

Hello, I just put together a new build less than a week ago. i5 3570K, MSI HD7950 Twin Frozr, Asus P8Z77-v LK, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, OCZ ModXstream Pro 600W, etc. running Windows 8. I've played around a bit with overclocking but even on stock speeds I'm having some weird glitches in games. I've reinstalled the drivers twice, using Driver Sweeper in safe mode, also tried the new beta drivers and it doesn't seem to help. The highest temps the GPU went during the stress tests was 70°C, so it doesn't seem to be a heat issue.
I've noticed it in Skyrim with some weird black boxes and stuff, Sleeping Dogs had big blotches of color popping out at some places, etc. I've ran FurMark, 3dMark 11, even Prime 95 but haven't seen anything abnormal in those. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks a lot for your help.

I don't unfortunately :( Today I'm getting the same weird squares in Sleeping Dogs, I can't get into that or Skyrim more than 10 minutes before they start.
I have no idea what's going on here... could it be shadows?

Noisy Fan on MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II

Hi Everyone, I am a new user to this forum so I am sorry if this is the wrong section to post this question. I didn't see a section devoted to hardware issues.
The fan closest to the vent on my MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II is now making a low hum. There is no obstruction so I think it is just the fan wearing itself out. The card is about 1.5 year old. I think the warranty is 2 years. But I am not familiar with the process. Is this covered under warranty? or is this considered normal wear and tear?
Thanks for any help.

depend, if there is a physical damage, the warranty will be void.
can be performed paid repair instead

Random freeze on boot with MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe graphics card. Sometimes, on boot (before getting to BIOS, I guess during GFX BIOS, if that's a thing anymore in the computing world) the GPU fans will spin at a considerable speed (noisy, I'd say 70-100%) and the system will refuse to boot. I could reproduce this around 5 to 6 times, and always during cold boots. After this happens, rebooting or powering off and on will not work, I'll need to cut off all power (PSU switch) and cold-boot again.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

can you list full system specifications? read >>Posting Guide<<

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE strange heat issue!

Hi guys,yesterday i've decided to upgrade my PC with brand new Sandy Bridge configuration,but after the first boot i've had a very unpleasant surprize with my VGA card .Right after power on my PC everything went good,display was on and showing the Bios Setup screen,but after 30-40 seconds my the VGA fans started to spin at full speed and restarted the system but after that my 40" lcd display was only showing "no signal detected" .From this point i've tried everything to get my system going,i've disabled the onboard VGA,swapped RAM modules,toggle every PCI and PCI-E add-on cards,bios reset but the issue was still there.
A couple of times i've managed to get into Windows OS but after 10 second the PC restarted again.I'm not really sure what's the issue here but i do noticed that after 10 second from boot the VGA card is getting very hot (can touch it only for 1 second) but only in the area near the power connectors,next to the capacitors...
Here's my configuration:
- CPU: Intel i5 2500K
- MoBo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
- RAM: Corsaire Vengence 8GB (2x4GB) DDR 1866
- PSU: Enermax Liberty 620 W
- VGA: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE
- Case: Cooler Master HAF-X
BTW,my old MSI Radeon HD4870 is working with the above configuration and i also tested the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE on 3 different PCs same had same issue,so if you guys have any idea about this issue please post here.

Yeah,i've already compiled the RMA form with the retailer but it doesn't have this VGA in stock anymore.I really hope it won't need months for the RMA procedure.

MSI - R6870 - Twin Frozr II - Is this too hot?

I think there is something wrong with this card of mine. I noticed that the idle temps were high. Way too high. I opened the case, latest ati 11.11 drivers, outdoor temperature of 20 degrees C, this card is idling around 62 degrees C. As demonstrated here:
If I force the fan to 80% it will drop down to about 55 degrees.
Is this card faulty? Seems unusually hot for something that's meant to be extra cool.

I use MSI AfterBurner program. You can preset the Fan. I place mine on AUTO , other option is set to 50 percent fan speed which will also keep it within a good Temp. or User Control and Scale your temp settings.
. At 100 percent Load running for 30 minutes to 1 hour have yet seen my HD 6870 Twin Frozr II (OC) version hit 70c. Usually at 60 -65c. But if you ever get near 90c or above ... then problems are arising.
My pc system with the MSI cards don't like the AMD Catalyst Drivers or even those from MSI. I have to play around finding which DRIVER from which Catalyst 10.XX or 11.XX performs the Best.
All I know is that AMD/ATI has left the HD68xx series in the dust as Has Been graphic cards and leave the customer the worries of finding a Driver that works.
I have CrossFire configuration but the DirectX 11 says my cards don't support DirectX 11. Using one of the earlier Drivers, I will be able to use DirectX 11 but then I don't have CrossFire.
So go figure .... 1 Driver will work for one thing but not the other. Beware that some will cause Artifacts or Green Screen or Screen Freezes (Locks Up) or even cause your Computer to Crash (get a error) and Dump.
AMD don't care about supporting the HD 68xx series. Get a chance go with HD6950's or 6970's. I'm tired of the ATI/AMD games. In May 2008 went with ATI HD 3870's and worked well until one fried in December 2010 for unknown reasons.
So I replaced them with HD6870's hoping for great Drivers. So disappointed now that it's been a year. My next PC rig going back to nVidia.!!!! Sure nVidia cards get hotter (power hogs) but they're more reliable and lasted longer than the AMD/ATI cards. No wonder nVidia is #1 --- 99 percent of the time. Well we do need AMD competition to keep nVidia prices down.
my rig:
Thermaltake Armor Plus full tower, Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 mobo, Intel e-8500 3.16GHz CPU, OCZ PC3-2000 (1600) 2x2GB memory, Zalman ZM850 850watt power supply, Zalman CPS-9500 CPU cooler,and MSI HD6870 Twin Frozr II (OC) in Crossfire ... replaced the old Sapphire Toxic HD3870's. Use Dual Boot OS's Vista Ultimate 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.

MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC memory clock?

I have had an MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC for about 6 months now and have used MSI Afterburner to monitor temps etc. Today I used it to lower my overclocking as others had said Ghost Recon Future Soldier doesn't crash if you take it off.
If you look at the MSI product page for the card (the forum won't let me post a link to it!?) you can see the Memory Clock Speed(MHz) says 4000 yet in Afterburner mine said 2000Mhz and the slider was in the middle. I am pretty sure there is no multiplier at work here so mine wasn't being overclocked?
Any ideas? I have reduced it down to 1800Mhz and GRFS doesn't crash anymore but can I take it up to 4000Mhz safely in future? I do not want to overload the card.

you have multiply the memory value x2 to get the effective speed

MSI N260GTX Twin Frozr Info

Hello...
I just bought an MSI N260GTX Twin Frozr, but i am not an expert in video cards, so i would like someone to tell me if it is a good purchase.
i have notice a brief loud (fan) noise everytime i turn on my pc, and i dont know if it is normal.
is it necessary to atach the 2 pci-e power connectors?
i have noticed MSI has several 260 GTX models, wich one is the best?

When PC is 1st switched on all of the fans start up at full speed so nothing to worry about. I have a 260 OCSP Twin Frozr and it is a good card, I don't use it now because of the 465 Twin Frozr ll now in use. Yes you must have both 6 pin plugs connected. If your PSU has only one PCIe 6 pin then use the 2x4 pin MOLEX to PCIe 6 pin adapter that came with VGA for the other one. You should be happy with the one you bought.
Edit: Forgot this part, most people use the latest NVIDIA website drivers.

6950 Twin FROZR III Fan blade BROKE!!!!Help!

when i was playing a game, i turned the fan to 80% fan speed and this happened :( the card is 1 week old and newegg can't help me...What can i do... if i leave the fan like this it will die because its unbalanced

Quote from: Svet on 20-April-11, 16:21:29
My advice is best RMA it as is, msi/reseller normally will not accept modified stuffs.
Also the FAN is a new special design introduced with Twin Frozr III Thermal Design called Propeller Blade fan. [images attached]
* MSI Propeller Blade technology generates 20% more airflow than traditional
design, and the airflow covers wider area for the better heat dissipation. Twin Frozr
III thermal design provides 11°C cooler & 13.9dB quieter than reference cooler .
20% More Airflow with Exclusive Propeller Blade Technology
The MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition is equipped with the latest Twin Frozr III dual fan thermal solution. The MSI-exclusive Propeller Blade technology features air channels on the edge of the blades to expand total airflow by up to 20%! The twin 8cm PWM fans, heat pipe technology, large surface-area nickel-plated copper base and high fin density all serve to rapidly draw excess heat away from the graphics card. Under a full load, the R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition GPU runs 11˚C cooler than the reference design, and noise emission is reduced by 13.9 dB— validating the superior cooling performance and silent running advantages of the Twin Frozr III.
Since active users may use their graphics cards for a variety of applications, MSI developed the exclusive P/S Switch function for controlling the speed of the fans. The Performance Mode is used to achieve an optimal cooling performance, helping to keep the GPU cool even under high loads. For applications or settings where noiselessness is preferred, the Silent Mode can be utilized as the appropriate mode for gaming or movies, ensuring that fan noise is kept to a minimum while still receiving outstanding cooling performance.
if i RMA it they said i probably wont get a TF3 back, i want a TF3 I paid for a tf3. or atleast the fan....they wont even sell me a fan..and to rma it i need to pay 45$+shipping..think im gonna file a bbb on newegg..
msi wont even let me buy a replacement fan -_-

Request: Latest UEFI / GOP vBIOS for MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC

Hello there!
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and would like to upgrade to the latest UEFI / GOP vBIOS for my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC please.
I ran GPU-Z and have posted my current vBIOS here:
stoguild.info/pitcairn.zip
Thank you in advance!

No, that's not the S/N. If there's no other sticker that's bad. According to your provided vbios this gop one should be right:
>>TV274MH.100<<
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0). Then unpack the previously provided archive and put the included file (TV274MH.100) on that stick. Rename TV274MH.100 to TV274MH.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also on the USB stick. Now boot from the stick. Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 TV274MH.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Random Crashes

Hello,
I have had an MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II video card for the past year, and it has been operating without problems for most of that time. I have been slowly upgrading my computer over past 5 years, but keeping the same motherboard and CPU. A few months ago I started having issues with it:
While playing video games or browsing the internet the video drivers crash and recover after a few seconds at random times, approximately once every half an hour. 30% of the time, the card crashes and doesn't recover at all, with a black screen, prompting a restart of the system.
Last month I have rebuilt my PC: kept the same the video card, 750W power supply (both 1 year old) and all my hard drives. I reinstalled the same version of Windows 7. I made sure to take precautions against static in the process. However the problem persists.
Because I have my power button set to a restart, I am able to have the computer perform a soft reboot every time when the screen goes black, rather than forcing a hard reset, so to me this means the new CPU, Motherboard and RAM are working OK. Also on occasion switching my monitor cable between the two DVI outputs brings the image back.
Here are some of the other things I have tried so far unsuccessfully:
Updating the motherboard and bios drivers to the latest version
Using a tool to delete and reinstall latest ATI drivers (12.9)
Using ATI beta drivers (12.11b)
Using both windows and 3rd party memory check tools (both came back OK)
Changing RAM settings from 1600 to 1333.
Underclocking the video card (although it runs pretty cold and I have a dedicated fan installed right underneath it).
I will welcome any other suggestions.
Thank you in advance,

Here is an update on my situation:
I went out a bought a new PSU, Antec HCG-620M, but the problem didn't go away. I'm still trying to keep up with the latest drivers. However most games that require high performance (i.e. Witcher 2 out of the older, more stable games) remain unplayable due to fairly regular random video card crashes. Older games with lower specs play fine though. I have also been running SpeedFan in the background and have seen an occasional spikes in the video card's operating temperatures (as high as 81C) but crashes occur at any temperature.
Help would still be appreciated.
Thanks,
