MSI NX6800GT: Crap overclockability, or just bad luck?

Okay, I finally got my MSI GF 6800GT in today, and I must say that I'm rather disappointed. First off, it's reference design, and not the copper thingy I expected. Second, the card won't overclock good at all. When I get close to 390 core, 3dmark 03 starts to take pauses at about 3-5 secs all the time, then it carries on. What is this? Some kinda auto-limiting overclock barrier? There are NO artifacts or any other visual corrption on the screen when this happens. I've been overclocking video cards for many many years, and I'm used to artifacts as the natural sign of a max clock, not weird pauses like this. Is this usual on the new series from Nvidia? I've had ATi for over a year now, so all this stuff is new to me.
So anyway, any suggestions?

No, the core artifacts, but in another way. Usally, memory artifacts looks like black squares popping up around the screen, while core artifacts are more like white dots or squares. When I got rid of the pausing, and pushed it further, the white artifacting from the core appeared - so it's all well!

Killed two 890fxa-gd70s, my fault or bad luck?

Not sure where to start but I had an MSI 890fxa-gd70 (amd) board for 6 months in which it was overclocked since nearly day one, all good till recently. This past friday the board failed. Durring prime the system shut down, fans and all, and a burning smell came from the northbridge area. Once out of the case it seemed like the choke below the 8pin power connector, or at least VERY close to that area was the source of the smell, NO visual signs at all on either side of the board of anything at all. The top of the choke had maybe 2-3 dots from heat im guessing. Overclock wasnt even "extreme". Just a new setting I wanted to try.
Well I got my rma number monday and picked up the replacement board tuesday and it failed durring prime the SAME way as the last one. This time absolutly no signs, the chokes had no dots. Originally started the computer, basic function tested, rebooted and applied mild OC settings and prime tested, died in less than an hour of total use and I was only maybe 10mins into prime. Im not sure the replacement was even remanufactured but maybe a "couldnt duplicate issue" and thrown into a white box to be given out. There was a capacitor right above the 1st pcie16 slot than was scratched with a slight dent and a scatch near the bottom of the north bridge heat since from someone removing their video card i guess.
So what the heck, is this bad luck or am I causing the issue? I am suspicious that I have too many fans on the mobo. My fan arrangement changed recently about the same time all this started. I have 4 120mm fans for radiators(2 kuhler 120 and 2 corsair 120), kuhler 920 pump, and the corsair mem twin fans driven off the mobo. Previously when I was overclocking I only had 2 120mm fans, pump, and mem fans on for a while but recently off, and back on when I added the other 2 fans for the radiator. Could this be partly to blame? Regardless Im planning on removing all fans from the board next time except the 2 kuhler ones being controlled by the pump.
I know overclocking is running outside rated settings but no one buys a board like this to run at stock settings, thats why they advertise all the OC features and even have a clear cmos button on the i/o pannel.
Keep in mind i have done gaming at 4255mhz cpu and 2900ish nb, but wasnt prime stable very long, while the board failed settings where as followed:
overclock that both failed on was 4140mhz (230x18)
nb was aprox 2900mhz 1st failure and 2760mhz (aprox) 2nd time
1.40v cpu vdd
1.25v cpu-nb on 1st failure and 1.21ish on 2nd failure
1st failure had a few other voltage settings up a bit, 2nd failure all others where auto except memory at 1.655v memory spec
power supply is a corsair gs800 watt:

1 corsair f120ssd and 1 7200rpm seagate 1TB drive
corsair GS800 psu
8 120mm fans and twin corsair memory fan that comes with dominator gt memory
So am I causing the issue or a case of bad luck and not to worry? Im really wondering if its the fans, thus why the asus crossfire has so many extra power connections on the board. I just figured the board had all those fan connections it must have been able to handle it, all but one was being used, maybe they didnt plan on 120mm fans being used in most of them.
I do wanna say Im glad msi has been friendly and am so glad they allow me to drop off and pick up since I live/work nearby. Today I dropped off the bad rma unit and they said they would give me a "new" one, probably a new refurb, but they told me to pick it up tomorrow because they are gonna burn test it overnight so I dont have any issues with the next one. Them stress testing it was nice. I would discuss my setup with them so we could both learn from it but the people I dealt with didnt seem to care how it went out.
Thanks for input guys, dont wanna waste my time or theirs smoking another board. Hope the next one does well or may need to look into a crossfire v. I have always liked MSI and also use their gtx560 ti.

manual settings. I wish I wrote my settings down other than just a saved profile, guess I should have also had my bios backed up too
I have played with a bunch of different settings but 4025mhz (230x17.5) was prime stable for one hour so i used that as my stable oc with only 1.40v on cpu vdd, think it even did an hour on 1.38v too if I remember but left it at 1.40 for good measure. Which if not mistaken is the max normal range the cpu is rated for and used durring normal operation when it ramps to 3.7ghz on stock settings.
I have done gaming (crysis2 w/dx11 patch and cod blackops) on 4255mhz with 1.43v. Would easily play till I got tired after an hour of gaming, but would fail prime within 7-8mins...Would shut down and have fans all running and needed to cycle psu. I have always wondered if that was a psu issue since both games use all 6 cores but same time prime IS A KILLER so figured was just the cpu
When the board failed settings where as followed:
overclock that both failed on was 4140mhz (230x18)
nb was aprox 2900mhz 1st failure and 2760mhz (aprox) 2nd time
1.40v cpu vdd on both times
1.25v cpu-nb on 1st failure and 1.21ish on 2nd failure
memory run in the 1840mhz range on 4 dimms
1st failure had a few other voltage settings up a bit (some where most 2 ticks above auto but sb 1.22v)
2nd failure all others where auto except memory at 1.655v memory spec and like mentioned cpuvdd 1.40, even nb was auto

MSI NX6800GT - Problems running 2 cards inSLi

Tagan 480W
Asus A8N-SLi-Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
2 GB Corsair PC3200
2 x MSI NX6800GT-T2D256E gfx cards
2 x 160GB Seagate Barracuda SATA
Sony 16X DVD RW
Sony CD RW
19" Sony TFT SDM-HS94P
Win 2k SP4
lo,
Well the above is my brand new setup - if it would just work :p
The basic problem is that I can run either of the cards perfectly fine on their own with the other one disabled/removed but when I try to run them together I never get passed the Win2k graphical boot screen....instead of the 'logon' screen appearing, I get a monitor message that the 'signal is out of range' and I get a bright white screen and nothing else :((
So far, I've tried:
- Differing drivers from the out of the box ones to the latest from msi and nvidias website
- Different monitor (CRT) which still exhibits the white screen phenenoma with 2 cards in Sli
- Checked the m/b BIOS and as far as I can see have all the correct SLi settings selected..
- Tried to use 'RefreshForce' utility to set the frequency at 60hz in the mistaken belief that might solve the 'signal out of range' problem.
- Made sure the m/b itself has the 'EZ selector card' (as they call it) correctly positioned for 'Dual Video Cards' and the Sli Connector properly attached to the 'goldfingers' on the cards...
Thought it was the new tft/lcd monitor at first but having tried with my old crt and using RefreshForce with the same results i'm beginning to doubt it...
The only thing that's odd that I can tell at the moment is that althought the 2 cards are 'identical', one of the cards has a little green led on permanently close to the power in - the other one doesnt have this light and I cant find any reference to it in documentation.....as i said earlier though, they both 'appear' to work fine individually, just when trying to get em going in Sli....
If anyones got any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them
tia

SAB,
I tried exactly what u said from a clean install with no luck :(
1) SLi card on m/b turned to 'single card'
2) DirectX 9.0(c) installed
3) Video Drivers from CD installed
4) Forceware 66.93 installed
All absolutely fine at this point, no conflicts, errors or uninstalled devices.
5) Switched off comp, turned SLi card to 'dual cards'
6) Installed second card and the SLi connector to the goldfingers
7) Checked BIOS settings for SLi
8) Plugged in "EZ-Plug" on m/b
9) restarted comp upon which win2k detects 2nd vid card and installs drivers for it.
At this point the 2nd card shows in device manager with a yellow exclamation and the comp wants to reboot to finish driver installation..
If i click 'restart later' and go into nview configs to set SLi mode, the SLi feature only says somehting like...."You have an SLi compatible card, to get the benfit of SLi please install another card"....there is no chance at this point to actually select SLi - presumably beacuse driver installation needs completing for the 2nd card??
So, now there's no choice but to restart...but when I do that, the display is fine through Boot sequence until it tries to switch from the 'graphica'l win2k loading screen (with the blue loading bar at the bottom) to the 'desktop / login' loading screen..
At that point, as always, the screen flickers and on TFT's u get a brief message saying "Signal out of Range - 96-105KHz" (i think!) before the screen just turns completely white and u cant see anything else....
After this i can only enter windows through safe or vga mode and when I do, the 2 vid cards appear to be installed perfectly.. In safe mode there's no nview or options to set SLi mode and restarting only gives the same 'signal out of range' message :(
At this stage the only way to get a visible non-white display back is to disable the 2nd gfx card in device manager whilst in safe mode and restart with just the primary card enabled :(
So, I'm still confused as to why the addition of the second card should alter the frequency(?) of the first card so as to screw the display when it works fine in single card mode..
I've tried this procedure using both cards as the 'primary' card still with the same results...frustrating!

MSI RS482M4 any overclocking utilities?

Hi im running an AMD 64 3200 vencie chip in this board and it tells me its running at 1.99ghz is there an overclocking utility that will let move it up to 2.1ghz or even just the 2.09ghz, im rather new to the overclocking busniess so something simple and easy to use thru windows would be ideal.

Hello !
First read the overclocking stickys they will help you.
I do not know exactly but CoreCenter should support your Board, its an MSI overclocking utility.
Good Luck

[GeForce 6] nx6800gt 256mb overclocking instability

Hi all,
I,ve noticed there are a few people with OC,ing there GT problems,i have the same problem but it used to oc to 400 1100 easily, temp 58c underload,i never used it 24/7 at those speeds and never went higher that 400 1100,its just weird that it will not run stable anymore,i use coolbits to oc and now will only go up to 370 1050 will crash and have graphic glitches, my fan is the copper version with fan speed select and i have a well ventilated case so temp is not an issue(right now its at 47c idle)have tried lots of different drivers but am using the new nvidia one right now,have tried rivatuner,D.O.T,coolbits2 but still the same result,fastwrites off/on does not help,have even tried a better psu than my thermaltake 420w,was looking at the guru3d forums and some people have modded there bios from 3d voltage 1.3 to 1.4 and have had success by doing this but i,m not keen to try this in case i mess it up,but i should,nt have to do this as it used work just fine at the normal voltage.
has any one solved there problem with oc,ing a stubborn 6800GT???

I can't answer your questions directly, but since the overclocking performance has degraded, there is a possibility that you pushed it into premature faliure or weakness.
Did you record the temps on the card when you installed it and compared them to what you have now? Same for system temps? It is getting warmer now so maybe ambient temps(room) may be having an effect. Perhaps even some dust buildup? A few degrees can be the difference between success and failure with overclocking.
Many variables to consider here

I have had bad luck with electronics lately my computer got lost to water and cant be fixed now my Ipod has been stolen I reported it to Apple but now I need to know when I get a new one how can I get back my music and games etc. if I can get it just with my account

What kind of iPod are you getting to replace it? If it is an iPod Touch, and you are in the US, after you set up the Touch you can use the iCloud beta and download your previous music, books and app purchases directly to your Touch.

Alternative to MSI drivers with overclock settings too! (UPDATED)

Hello all,
Well, this has been posted a lot and I just wanted it here plain as day so we don't have to keep posting with this same answer.
Many times, due to poor configuration. or any number of reasons the MSI drivers overclocking can be a bit on the buggy side, Coolbits is one of the best basic alternatives, and what you should be using anyway for overclocking and setting your card's options, however, in some cases the MSI drivers may be the only thing that works for your sytem, so this may not be for you, the only way to tell is to try it and see.
Of course there are other utilities like Riva Tuner and nVtweak, that can take settings to another level of tweakdom, but for simplicity purposes Coolbits is the basics.

QI have MSI drivers installed but the Tabs are still present in Display Properties, how do I remove them?
A MSI's clock tabs are controlled by msicpl.dll and will not removed, you will manually have to eradicate the file yourself. It should be in the windows directory but if you cannot find it just do a search.
Keep in mind that XP's System Restore can also complicate things, while I won't recommend disabling it, it's something to think about.
*Supplimental Information*
With the intoduction of MSI's DOT Overclocking DOT Explained utility, some of the guesswork is taken out of the art of overclocking your card, however, don't assume that it is safe. Overclocking in ANY case can damage hardware if not done properly. One must take proper measures in cooling, and become educated in the dynamics of overclocking in order to get the best results. Just remember that heat shortens the life of any component, overclocking simply accelerates it. Liken it to smoking, one will most likely have a shorter lifespan, or have health problems. Some may live a normal lifespan, but the former is usually the case.

Getting a replacement fan & heatsink module for my MSI NX6800GT (agp)

Hi all,
I got a bit of a problem, the fan on my MSI NX6800GT (agp) sounds like a dog, after removing the card and having a look, it appears that the spindle that holds the fan in place has worn out (the fan seems to drop down onto the plastic and thats what is making the noise) . Its buggered basically. Do any of you fine people know of where I can get a decent replacement fan and heatsink?
All help appreciated
John

OK, I ordered one of those nv silencers, I thought about contacting MSI like you guys said but after reading about this product I thought what the hell . . . £20 but worth it.
http://www.gladiatorcomputers.com/ProductDetail.aspx?StockCode=ACCARTREV4NVS53&Link=SearchResults
It came yesterday, so last night I installed it, fitted well, one small thing on the instructions, there is an "L" shaped metal bracket called a passive heatsink plate, now I know my **** from my elbow but could I work out where this was supposed to go? . . . NO.
Anyway it appears that I dont need this bit, why cant they just say "this bit is optional". Kinda scary fitting stuff like this when youre as green as me.
Anyway, all went well. Thank you all.
Regards
John

Bad luck...solution or not?

Hi,
well not my day today.
Wanted to go back to iphoto 8 so decided to to use TM to do so.
Supposed to be easy.
Well not luck or very bad luck you decide!
My HD crashed!!! heard strange clicks then nothing.
No more mounting, disk warriors cannot access it ( not existing) disk repair no accessing it at all.Try to mount it on another computer...no response.
It looks like it is dead. Cant believe it.
did a back up on another external drive I hade just in case.
Now what ? I have my iphoto library but is has been updated for iphoto 2011 and no more of my 2008 one.
Is there a way to go back to iphoto 2008 anyway?
help would be nice.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. In the Finder using the Go menu and selecting Go To Folder
In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder window will open at that Location. Find and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
3. Re-install 08

String of bad luck, caps lock is flashing once every few seconds

So lets start off with the beginning of the bad luck, first i was watching a youtube video and deicided to go make a snack b/c i was hungry, when i came back my compuuter had shut itself off, overheating wasnt uncommon so i checked the how hot the computer was over the processor and it was coo and not hot at all, so i turned it back on, and i didnt get a thermal shutdown message, so i was a little confused and started checking for the error, the first thing was the power, in which it said "9% availiable(plugged in, not charging)" so i first made sure it was plugged in and everything a bit confused, still did it, and then i googled it, and apparently i had to uninstall the apci from device manager, so i did the ~11 step solution that had helpe so many people, and then it still was like that, so then i used the HP assistant to check my battery, and i needed to replace it, but on the way i noticed i had "system updates" and such i was bummed i had to get a new battery(To put it simply, im poor) and decided to update my system at the very least, maybe the HP assistant was wrong and after the update the battery would register as good again, with little hopes on that(i knew that the chance was near 0%) i updated, and one of the updates were BIOS updates, so half way through downloading my sister decided to power-cycle our router, as our router is a pretty bad router and every now and then our internet would slow to the point of pretty much being non-existant, so then my computer resets i get a black screen and capslock starts blinking twice, i use my issters computer to google it, my BIOS is corrupt, so i use windows + b + the power button, to try and restore my BIOS, during it flushing my computer overheats, and now when i turn it on its a black screen with the capslock blinking once every few seconds, i havnt been able to find a fix, can anyone help me? also i should mention the tag on my HP is worn out pretty bad i can barely salvage any info off it which is pretty bad, all i know is that its an hp pavilion G4 with AMD radeon GPHX, and 8mb of memory

Msi nx6800gt agp atrifact problem pls HELP!!!

hello all,
well guys need a help, a real bit starnge problem im facing, i got a MSI NX6800GT 256MB DDR3 AGP graphic card, the system boots up well no issues in the 2d mode but when i ran cod2 i faced kind of shall i say pixel sized squares appearing during gameplay the same was noticed playing f.e.a.r also, i chcked the card with riva tuner it showed the card as a proper 6800gt with 16pipelines etc i dont knw whts the problem i tried the same card in my frnds system also, he is running a gainward 6800gt golden sample we noticed the same kind of square artifacts which run all round the screen sometimes very few but i think as the game goes on its more, the card was run at stock speed of 350/1000 and the temp maintains at 62 degrees...
the system tested on had specs amd 3400+ 754 on a asus k8ne dlx mobo, with 1 gb twinmoss ram, an 500w power supply, the 3dmark2005 scroce is 4736pts, an we noticed these spots even during the benchmark....
the driver version used was 71.77 series then we used the 66 series an even msi's default series or drivers but to no avail pls do guide me on this guys it wud be really really helpful...
regards,
vicky

hey richard,
i tired tht also, infact in the very begening the new forceware drivers were used then we tried the others, actually the artifacts are not like polygons or anthying they are square sized pixels tht appear on the screen, the monitor used was a viewsonic 17'' flat screen and the res was 1024 X 768.
we saw some serious square pixels in bf2, cod2 an even fear! 3dmark05 also displayed the same, do you think its a problem with the card or the cooling, the temp of the card remains between 56-62 deg.
we dont wanna underclock te card as i think it wud void the warranty!

Msi Nx6800gt?

Hi everybody! I ordered an MSI NX6800GT card today, what do you guys think about that card?
