Msi n460gtx hawk voltages???

hello! i need some help with my msi n460gtx hawk. i overclocked this vga and for unknown reasons my voltages to the core/memory/aux stays the same as before at the default clocks(780/1560/1800). now i'm running at 900/1800/2100 mhz,everything stable(msi kombustor burn-in and a lot of games) and those voltage values: +70mv core/+50mv memory/+20mv auxiliar. idle voltage is 0,875v and load is 1,012v same at default clocks and the overclocking. i guess it must show me some increase in voltage,since i pushed forward those values in afterburner,but...everything looks unchanged! i saw others users having some increase in core voltage,when they overclock and tweaking voltages,but is not my case! i don't know what is happening. really,at the voltages i applied it should stay at 0,890-0.900v idle and 1,050v or above in loading... but my hawk looks like i never touched the voltage sliders! i checked those values with gpu-z and aida 64 extreme edition and both show me the same results. i don't have stability issues for the moment,but i guess it will comes some day if my vga don't work with some extra power applied at those frequencys... i have msi afterburner 2.1 installed. i just tried with afterburner 2.0 and the results are the same... i tried 1.6 and i cannot unlock voltage with it... i use an amd phenom II X4 955 clocked at 3,6ghz,mobo gigabyte 890fxa-ud5 and 4 gb ram ddr3 1333mhz dual ch. please someone tell me if is something wrong with my card or i missed something when i overclocked it? thank you very much for your advices!

That's supposed to be that way, you WILL NOT be able to monitor voltage changes with any software tool reading voltages via NVIDIA driver.
Hawk uses additional voltage controller chip which is adding programmable voltage offset to output voltage of reference NVIDIA voltage control circuit.
None of tools you've mentioned support that additional chip and just show you expected target voltage (which doesn't match real value in case of adding an offset via that additional chip).
Furthermore, that additional chip itself also doesn't support voltage readings, it doesn't even know which voltage is on its' input, it is rather simple IC which just trying to modify the input value by specified offset.
That is why there is no (and there will not be in future, I've seen rumors that I'm working on getting voltage monitoring working on Hawks and I say that's not true) voltage monitoring for Hawks when alternate voltage controller circuit is in use.
The best thing that can be done to see some form of expected voltage is approximating the output by displaying summ of NVIDIA reference voltage with additional offset, but that's by far not the best solution because both components (reference circuit and additional offset circuit) add its own inaccuracy.

    My new N460GTX Hawk Talon Attack card is arriving in a few days and I plan to use my N650SLI-DS4 motherboard with an overclocked SLI setup. I'm curious to see how well SLI performance scales with an "ancient" motherboard.

  • Msi N460GTX HAWK Fan Failure

    I have two N460GTX HAWK's.  They're in SLi.  One of them has had one of the two fans fail.  The fan is seized up.  For the last couple weeks I've been hearing what sounded like rattling case metal inside my computer.  Since the computer is 5 years old I thought nothing of it.  Besides I've had case rattle before and just wedged some cardboard spacers in to stop it.  Another thing I noticed was my primary graphics card seems to have been getting hotter than normal.  A few times the loud beep these cards make when their temp is approaching the limit has occurred.  I now see that one of the fans must have been failing.  To compensate for the temperature, I would just manually crank up my system fan and that seemed to work.
    I seem to remember on September 16, 2010 when I bought this card that they came with a 3 year warranty.  Would this fan issue be covered under that warranty?
    Also, I don't see the N460GTX HAWK as being sold by msi (or maybe anyone) anymore.  Should this become a RMA issue, would it be possible to get an exact replacement?
    Today when I started my computer up, I had no video to my monitor.  I switched my monitor cable to my other cards DVI output and the video worked again.  My question is, if one of the fans fail on the N460GTX HAWK will the card stop working (to protect itself)?  The card with the bad fan couldn't have been hot yet since I had just turned the computer on.  Also the video was working just an hour or so before this.

    I had not thought about the vrm temperature.  I have a Logitech G19 keyboard and I monitor the GPU's temps while I'm playing games so I think it's unlikely that the GPU has been damaged on my card.  Considering the vrm has no heat sink some of it may have gotten too hot.  I got an RMA number and sent the card to msi.  The card is due to arrive at msi on June 4th 2013.  Hopefully it's just a quick fan exchange and they send the same one back.
    I feel compelled to add that, up to this point, these msi GTX460's have been excellent video cards.  The build quality is very high.  The heat sinks capability is excellent.  My computer is 6 years old and the airflow in my case is typically poor.  I often have to run my system fan at 80% to push heat out of the case.  These cards however have operated in this environment as though it was native to them.  I've estimated close to 2500 hours of continuous use on these cards now.  I consider one of the fans dyeing after this long and this much use to be a small incident and in no way detracts from the stellar performance of these msi cards.

    mislav.ruzman this is surely not your topic. As you can see it's the topic of someone else seeking for help. Don't hijack that thread with your own issue but open an own (>>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<). Unlike your vga's fans those of topic starter are physically defect.
    @Gamtu:
    Of course the faulty fan is covered by warranty and is subject of rma. The defective cooling could have caused other defects (e.g. dying vrms because of overheating). Just contact your reseller or MSI and issue rma. MSI has always also older products for replacing defective items in stock even if those aren't sold anymore. If none is in stock you'd get a comparable current product. Usually it's a bit better one.

  • MSI 7870 HAWK voltage problems

    my gpu voltage doesnt seem to be setting properly
    afterburner says one thing everything else says diffrent does anybody know whats going on ?
    system spec:

    Thanks.

    GPU-Z and such just read target voltages but not accurat voltages. Since the Hawk is a MSI own design the voltage readings of Afterburner should be the most accurate of these tools. None the less the safest way to readout a current overvoltage is using a multimeter.

  • MSI N460GTX Hawk Talon Attack - LEDs near power connectors

    Hello
    I've searched this forum and the web, but i didn't found the answer.
    I just recently bought this VGA. It works all right, but there's 6 led on the back of the card and two of them are glowing red when power connectors are plugged in.
    I just want to know if this is just an indicator that the card is receiving power thru power connectors (when i put them out, they turn off) or if it's indicator that somethings not right (you know, the red color ).
    This is my pc:
    MB: Asus Sabertooth i55
    CPU: Intel i5 760
    RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB
    power supply: Silent Pro Gold 700W
    etc
    Power usage shouldn't be the problem, got 2 HDD and 1 SSD and 4 fans (i used couple of web power, all of them showed value around 520W).
    I've tried connect the card like 3 or 4 times (plugged with 2 separated cables from supply, connected only by "hard installed cable", conect it via one modular cable etc.), the card's 2 LEDs are always on (it's LED1 and LED2).
    Thx in advance for any info.

  • N460GTX Hawk

    Hey, all.  I want to preface this by saying that I'm very new to overclocking.  I just replaced my old system (a P4 with 2gb PC3200 and an HD3850 AGP lol) with an i7 950, 6gb DDR2000, and an MSI n460GTX Hawk.
    I chose the Hawk because the reviews all pointed to a great performing card with TONS of headroom for overclocking, providing a lot of bang for my buck.  Figured it would be great to have one and get a second in a few months.  For now I planned to experiment with tweaking it.
    Well, everywhere I look people are saying they got to 950mhz+ on the core, but I understand that that was before MSI limited the VCore to +100mV.  A shame they put that limit there, I say.  I was hoping to get the most out of this card.
    Even then, with the limit, I can't seem to get the card stable!  I have tried to go as low as 900mhz with +100mV, well below what the card can handle on the mV (since it can handle all +200mV, really), and well below what it SEEMS the appropriate core frequency should be... but after 5 minutes in Furmark (extreme burn enabled) it's sitting at 71 degrees and the driver resets (screen goes white, furmark stops responding for a while, has to be reset, all the clock speeds, etc, reset...)
    I can get it to run in Furmark like that at 225mhz core with +100mV but it will only run for about 2.5-3min before the driver stops responding.  Anything above that causes the driver to stop responding exponentially faster.
    I have tried this with the VRAM at 1800mhz stock and no added voltage, VRAM at 2000mhz and no added voltage, VRAM at 2000 and +50mV (no benefit so I dropped that back to 0,) and I tried messing with the AUX voltage a bit to no effect what-so-ever as well.
    I just can't help but shake the suspicion that I should be able to get more out of this card, that maybe I'm doing something wrong.  The temps are usually going anywhere near what I read as the maximum for these cards... I don't know.  Just seems that being unstable at 900mhz with +100mV on the core is indicative of user error or sub-par hardware.  Not sure which.  Figured I would as you all and see if maybe there was some stupid setting somewhere I didn't enable or disable, etc.
    Again my last PC was a P4 and nothing special, so I'm new to a lot of this new tech.
    Thanks for any help and responses in advance.

    Hai Miskat my hawk460 can stable with default volts at 875/2100 and for 900/2200 i have to raise vcore +40mv and vmem +50mv.... but my friend also have hawk460 but he cannot get 900mhz even vcore added to +100mv i guess not every card performs same in overclocking.
    This is stressing to check artifact with ATItool for 20minutes  at stock volts :
    Uploaded with ImageShack.us
    I can do furmark for 20minutes at 900/2200 with vcore  +20mv/+50mv but in gaming always crash and clock back to default because lack of vcore, so i raise until stable in gaming which is +40mv.
    But with ATItool 900/2200 with +20mv/+50mv will get error after 2minutes then i must add +40mv just for vcore to make it stable like my SS up there.

  • N460GTX HAWK - Afterburner only shows +100 even bios is uncapped to 1.212v

    i got BetA13 from Guru3D.com's forum to uncap the voltage for my MSI N460GTX Hawk card to 1.212v but MSI Afterburner 2.1.0 Beta 6 can still only show +100 in Core Voltage but Orbmu2k's Nvidia Inspector shows op to 1.212v in the Overclocking fan, so is this bad uncap or Afterburner fail?
    i show on Guru3D where i got Beta 6 that the HAWK card used goes over +100 it's at +126 so how do i do this? ^^;

    Click on the small arrow on the right side of the where to adjust voltage, it should show a dropdown menu.
    that doesn't help increasing the core voltage

    Its a very clear beeping
    The system doesn't crash just beeps about 30 seconds into games or benchtests but stops after a couple of seconds. Only happens in graphic intensive games like metro 2033 and mafia
    I have recorded and uploaded the beeping for you http://www.zshare.net/download/80702890b1e0ff16/
    I dont thinks its the PSU. i used Asus PSU calculator and im 200W over for what i need for my system
    the hotest the VGA's get is 65-70c and the 2nd VGA is in the last PCI-E slot with a gap of 45mm between the 2.

    No idea what those beeps means.
    [Which you told that they only occur in SLI mode, when GPU's are underload and its for few seconds then they are gone]
    But they are probably not a error indication,[based on what i can hear] sound like they are some kind of informative purpose.
    Contact Assus support and MSI support also here: http://support.msi.com/
    to have a ask about them.

  • N460GTX HAWK Airflow

    I have just bought 2 x MSI N460GTX Hawk cards to fit in an Rampage II MB in an SLI configuration to drive a 3 monitor display, however the the cards are so fat the the second card butts upto the the first card, leaving only a few mm space between them, can I safely run these cards like this.
    I was so taken with the reviews for these cards, I failed to appreciate just how much room they took up.

    you can stress them with furmark:

    AMD Power Play states are glitchy, and not all videos detect and run with DirectX Video Acceleration.  So max power during playback can end up on the highest power state which is not shown above.
    MSI R5770 Hawk minimum power
    The uP6204 power controller used on the MSI R5770 Hawk design nominally supports 0.5625 to 1.3500V in 0.0125V steps.
    With a stock video BIOS, MSI Afterburner 1.50/1.51 allows the MSI R5770 Hawk to be soft-modded from 1.000 to 1.350V in the roughly 0.0125V steps.
    The video BIOS can be set as low as 0.950V but with no steps between 0.950 and 1.000V.
    MSI Afterburner 1.60 beta 4 or earlier adds the AllowCaptureVoltageDefaults profile setting.  Acquiring, then changing the default GPU voltage allows "resetting" the Hawk to 0.950V in Afterburner for the highest frequency state.  This allows maintaining Power Play transitions and running the max frequency at 0.950V, where Afterburner by itself is limited to 1.000V.
    The max frequency state of the Hawk is 875 MHz 1200 MHz 1.200V.  To have the most flexibilty on control the Hawk, lowest power in the Desktop/HTPC/light gaming, and the ability to manually overvolt/overclock for specific games:  run the Hawk at 0.950V in the max frequency state.
    How-to work around Afterburner and the Hawk design to run 1.000V in the max frequency state. *
     1) in the video BIOS, leave the voltage as 1.200V in the BIOS--which is required for Afterburner to change the Hawk voltages in Windows
     2) in the video BIOS, change the GPU frequency of that state to something less than or equal to the maximum stable frequency at 1.000V
     3) in Afterburner, Reset to default settings **
     4) in Afterburner, change "Core Voltage" to 1.000V
     5) in Afterburner, Apply
     6) in Afterburner, Save to Profile 1
     7) in Afterburner, \Settings\Profiles\2D Profile\ & "3D Profile" choose "Profile 1" ***
     8) on each Windows startup, run Afterburner

     2) in the video BIOS, change the GPU frequency of that state to something less than or equal to the maximum stable frequency at 0.950V
     3) in Afterburner, confirm the voltage default setting for 0.950V--capture voltage defaults as needed using AllowCaptureVoltageDefaults mentioned above
     4) in notepad as an Administrator (Win 6.x), change the Hawk's profile configuration file to 0.950V
    example:
     [Settings]
     uP6204_Defaults=D7 20
     5) in Afterburner, Reset to default settings **
     6) in Afterburner, change "Core Voltage" to 1.000V--changing the profile setting to 0950/950 is not useful as of 1.60 beta 4.

  • MSI GTX560ti Hawk low 3dmark11 score

    I recently purchased MSI GTX560ti Hawk. I ran 3dmark11 on it and on performance mode, I only got P1650 score. The graphics score is very low and the FPS averaged around 6-7.
    Here is my specs:
    Asus P5Q motherboard
    Gigabyte Odin GT 550w PSU
    Intel Q9550 oc@ 3.67GHz
    Kingston DDR2 2x2GB @ 800MHz
    Intel X25-M 160GB SSD
    MSI GTX560ti Hawk
    I know the package box suggested using a minimum 600W PSU but I managed to boot into windows and play games with my 550W. I can run Assassin Creed Brotherhood and Shogun 2 on very high graphic setting.
    Could the very low 3dmark11 graphics score due to the low PSU power supply? Please help  
    Thanks!

    I just bumped the core voltage up block by block from +0 to +150 on Afterburner 2.2.0 beta 3.
    I tested Heaven DX11 benchmark on all of those voltages and there were artifacts in all of them (running VGA default clocks). But there were less artifacts as the core voltage went up.
    Is my PSU not supplying enough power?

    could be , but basically should be more than enough if the stats can be trusted.
    Test the VGA in another machine[who has a better PSU, with strong single rail] then see how its goes there

    try next voltage step and retest

  • Questions about my MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 and my Dell Studio 7100

    Ok, I have had this card installed for about a year now. From the beginning Catalyst Control Center had given me error messages, "Catalyst Control Centre: Host application has stopped working. Windows is checking for solutions" every time I start the machine or every time I try to use the Catalyst Control Center. This has not been a problem because I have been using a 2 monitor system using the DVI port from on and the HDMI to Display Port adapter to the second larger monitor (if I went straight HDMI I can't change the settings and I end up with a 1 inch black border around the desktop and the outer edge of the 23" monitor,) so I just worked around with the HDMI to DVI. Well now I am trying to hook up three monitors. One to the Display port through a Displayport to DVI, one to the HDMI through the HDMI to DVI and one to the Display port. No matter what I try to do through the Windows display control panel, I can not get the displayport monitor (which ever is hook to that port) to display. Windows 7 does detect all three monitors, but it will not allow me to "extend the desktop" to the third monitor and I still can't get the Catalyst Control Center to work.
    I have uninstalled all files from ATI or AMD that involve the video and reinstalled the latest drivers and software, but the Catalyst Control center still is not running.
    If you could help me with this it would be great. I am a graphics designer and web designer/developer and not a hardware or software tech and I have been googling and trying different possible answers since yesterday morning.
    My graphics card is
    MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770
    My computer is
    Dell Studio XPS 7100, AMD Athlon IIX4 630 Processor 2.80 GHz
    8 gb
    64-bit operating system
    I am attempting to hook up a LG W2361 to the HDMI through HDMI to DVI adapter (presently working) at 1920 x 1080
    an LG W1952 (at 1440 x 900) through the DVI port to DVI (presently working) and
    an old Samsung SyncMaster 170t  to the Displayport through a the adapter (not working) monitor is detected but it will not allow the extend desktop to be applied.
    Hope someone can help, thanks in advance for just reading all of this. 

    Just incase anyone runs into a similar problem. I figured it out.
    Somehow in one of either the ATI driver updates or in a Microsoft update, my drivers and software was contaminated. I deleted all software and drivers for the card, which I had already tried several times. But this time I went into safe mode used CCcleaner in safe mode and cleared the register of all entries. I then reloaded and the Catalyst Control center and it works fine now.
    The problem with the three monitors seems to be that the one hooked to the displayport, if you are using more than 2 monitors, must be hooked to an active displayport adapter. I was using a passive adapter. So either I need to buy a very expensive adapter or.....maybe a new monitor that uses displayport. 
    Hopefully this will help someone else having this issue.

  • Installed MSI R5770 Hawk but PC says: HD 3200

    Hello to all. I just purchased and installed A MSI R5770 HAWK video card. I installed all the software and everything looks good, but after I finnished the install through the ATI Catalyst manager, I clicked on "View log" and it said: Hardware info=   ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
    Did I do something wrong? I believe that the HD3200 is the on-board graphics(maybe). What should I do to get the most out of this GPU?? I do have monitor hooked up threw the HDMI on the card and I have good pic., I just thought that the Hardware should say: "ATI HD5770 " shouldn't it?
    By the way I did search the forms before I posted, just in case you notice that this is my first post. Many Thanks, >>>>RiZ<<<<<

    Yes, the HD3200 is integrated and not related to MSI R5770 HAWK
    So the 5770 is not detected by the system or?
    Have you checked in device manager? Is it listed there?
    Check with also with AIDA64 At Display, GPU page:

  • Getting audio through HDMI on MSi 5770 Hawk

    Hey all,
    I just built a new system using the ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard and I have two MSi r5770 Hawk graphics cards CrossFire'd.  I've got my monitor plugged into the DVI port and also an HDMI cable from the HDMI port to my surround sound system (and to TV).  I'm not getting any audio out of the HDMI (not surprising).  I'm reasonably sure I need a SPDIF cable from the graphics card to the motherboard. 
    So I think the graphics card came with two of these weird looking SPDIF cables that just have the connector to the graphics card and these two weird socket cables.  There are two problems with this:  For the two weird socket things, I don't see anyplace on the motherboard for it to go.  Second, the cables are literally like two inches long, so there's no way it is going to reach the motherboard even if it were the right cable.
    So I guess what I'm wondering is if anyone can tell me what cable I need to go from the SPDIF connector on the P6X58D Premium mobo to the MSI r5770 Hawk graphics card.  Or do I have the wrong idea?
    Thanks!

     Are you describing the MOLEX to 6 pin power adapters and not S/PDIF cable? S/PDIF cable is about 130mm (12 in.) long 2 wire cable and are only supplied from MSI with NVIDIA VGA cards. ATI should have internal S/PDIF and I don't think they need the cable.
