MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC "No Signal"?

Hi guys!
I've just bought the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC, but my monitor dosent recieve any signal at all. Both power cables are plugged in, and my PSU should be big enough to manage it.
The slot works fine with my old card, a HD 5450, so is my card faulty?
Win 7 32 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M USB3 rev 2.0
Proccesor: Intel Core i5 2.80
PSU: OCZ600MXSP 600W
Memory: 4GB

The card has two power cables, which both are plugged in. If not, a red LED lights up in the card.
I've just removed the power cable form the mobo and removed the battery from the mobo to do a clear CMOS, but unfortunately with the same results. The fans are running, but my screens says "No Cable" and goes completely black

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.

Two displays for MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC graphics card ?

Is it possible to have two displays simultaneously connected to this graphics card:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6950-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Overview
The card has two DVI-outputs "DVI Output: 2 (Single-Link DVI-D x1, Dual-Link DVI-I x1)". I can use one display at a time and the second display only shows "No signal" error. I would like to use two displays when playing PC games, is it possible with this craphics card? Both my displays have VGA connector cables, and they are connected to the card with an VGA/DVI adapter.

what monitors you are using and what resolutions you're trying to use?
Both monitors are old models: 1) Panasonic PanaFlat PF90 2) acer AL 707.
I'm not sure what resolution I was using on acer when I tried to connect both monitors, but now I'm using PanaFLat with 1280 x 1024. Maybe I should try to set them both on 1024 x 768 and try again.

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition – Replacement Heat Sink?

Hello,
Does anyone know of a good 3rd party heat sink that will definitely fit this non reference card? We all know that manufactures such has Artic, Thermalright and Prolimatech make such heat sinks, but of course they are for reference cards. I'm sure you can understand that I don't want to make any expensive mistakes!
Thanks,
Krutish.

Thanks for the reply flobelix.
My main concern was the amount of decibels this card produced when pushed, not its thermal properties. Under high stress the card would peak at 80-85c with a fan speed of anywhere around 80-100%. Normal gaming temps would be around 65c-75c depending on game, or gaming environment, with matching fan speeds. That is why I was looking for a replacement, the temps were within the manufactures tolerances, even if a little high, but the db's were well outside of mine!
However, the situation as changed somewhat. While messing around inside the case trying to improve airflow I accidentally touched the heat-sink assembly, and upon doing so the fan instantly roared to 100% and the temps started to shoot up. I wiggled the assembly again and the fan and temps dropped back! So it seemed like the heat-sink was lose! I removed the card and tightened the screws a little, this solved the problem in regards to the temp/fan shooting up, but the temps were still high!
The next step was to completely remove the heat-sink, give it a good clean and replace the thermal compound in the hope that this would solve the noise/heat problem. It was at this point that I spotted the problem! The GPU was absolutely caked in thermal compound, so much so that all of the resistors around the GPU were also covered in thermal grease, (Don't these guys know less is better?) good job they hadn't used a metal based thermal compound, that could have wrecked the card!
Anyway, I removed the mess and used TIM-clean to dissolve what was left and finished the clean up with isopropanol. I applied a small amount of compound, replaced the heat-sink and Bobs your uncle! Max loads so far, GPU 64c – Fan speed 55%... That I can live with!
So there you have it, this card as been noisy and running hot from the day I brought it, but I didn’t know any better, I've never seen or heard a MSI R6950 in action before, now I have!
Made In China. (Sad Face)

Oh almost forgot... i heard off Artic, they recommend the Twin Turbo II, Xtreme II or the Xtreme III for this card!

R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC goes to full power when in idle

My R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC acts normally, when i use the PC. When it goes to idle, the card heats up and turns the speed to 100%. When i remove the drivers there's no problem. I've tried with the different drivers there and on the AMD page.

R6950 Twin Frozr III 2gb Problem

Hi guys, got a problem with one of my cards that is in Crossfire..
Setup - i7 920, 20gb Gskill DDR3 1600mhz, Asus P6T Deluxe, Corsair AX950w 80+, 2 x R6950 Twin Frozr III 2gb Catalyst 12.3
Problem - These card's have been fine for around 6 months working in crosfire. Last couple of days defects have started to appear and now one of the card fails to be reckognized. I have taken out the card and tried it in another system and the system wont even post. I have tried switching the fan profile to see if this helps but still no post. 1st card is working perfectly in my main system and other systems I have.
Even bigger Problem - The shop where I have purchased the cards "SELEXIUM" last year is now bankrupt. Here is the article http://www.societe.com/societe/sarl-nextware-504241654.html
So I really dont know what to do, I have logged a ticket with msi to see if they can help..
Does anybody have experiance with MSI and returning cards directly to them in Europe ? Will they accept a RMA from a End User ?

for europe, its only via reseller.
contact near MSI office and explain the situation.

R6950 twin frozr III comp crashes

Hello, I recently got my R6950 twin frozr III OC edition yesterday. Plugged it in, ran the install drivers, worked like a charm. About an hour later had a comp freeze, was just browsing the web with firefox 4.
Had to manually power down and restart. Rebooted, everything was fine. Started playing Rift, no troubles. About an or 2 in, same thing, game freeze. Happened 4 times in the course of about 30 mins. I decided to call it for the night.
Today, so far, 3 hangs, 2 were from Rift, 1 was from World of warcraft. All scenarios was i was sitting in the main city talking with guildmates. No stress or mad activity going on. Noticed my temp was hovering 47-49C.
Not sure what the problem is. Looking for some help/answers.
Note, that nothing was tinkered with and everything would be stock settings.

I was previously using the radeon 5770 from sapphire that i got last year and wanted something beefier. Unfortunately my case is the only one large enough to have room for this card.

It can PSU fault or driver issue, or VGA failure
Remove current VGA drivers with >>Driver Sweeper<< in Safe Mode
then install drivers from msi web for your card, then see how its goes

R6950 Twin FROZR III Fan Replacement

Simple question, Where can I buy a replacement fans for this card? One of the fans has 2 broken fins and the other is not spinning @ full speed so I get vibration from one and the other can't cool enough.

dunno if r6950 Twin FROZR III has reference PCB or not,
you can ask msi at: >>How to contact MSI.<<
About the aftermarket cooler, you should ask the aftermarket cooler company, they should have compatibility list

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 R7950 Twin Frozr III Temp Issues

I have been having issues with my video card (MSI R7950 Twin Frozr III) under load and previously even while idle with temperatures being way higher than they should be. Browsed many forums and it was suggested that I change the thermal paste, which fixed part of the issue (The video card under "normal" load went from 95C to 75-84C while at 90 to 100% load the temperatures rises back up to the 90s). Before changing the thermal paste, the idle temperatures were around 60, under regular load a little over 90 as stated previously.
The video card runs perfectly otherwise which has me thinking it's most likely a problem related to the heatsink and cooler itself.
I'd personally rather avoid RMA if possible so my question is, is it possible for a cooler/heatsink to cause such a high temperature issue and if so, would purchasing an aftermarket cooler fix the problem or could there be other issues leading to the high temperatures other than the cooler/heatsink itself?
Thank you for your time.
In case this is relevant in any way:
Intel i5 750 OC'd @ 3.74GHz
ASUS P7P55D-E Pro
Antec EarthWatts 750W +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@40A, +12V2@40A, +12V3@40A, +12V4@40A, -12V @ 0.5A, [email protected]
CORSAIR XMS3 2x4GB CMX8GX3M2B1600C9
WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
Catalyst 12.4

After flashing to this vbios, I seem to have gained performance, but the card also seems to be running a bit more hot which could be affected by me being in a different area in the game or slightly higher temperature in my room around the computer, etc.
I haven't tried changing drivers lately, had before when I first was faced with this temperature problem (Have been busy for a while and never bothered trying to figure the issue or try reapplying thermal paste to see if it would fix it until I got time for it recently). I tried both AMD's official drivers, the drivers I had at the time for my 4890 as well and the MSI auto-update software, none of which seemed to fix the heat problem.
If you believe I should try drivers now and see if it can fix the problem once again I don't mind trying.

R6950 Twin Frozr III Issue

Ok, brand new build P8P67 Pro (Rev 3) initially boots up fine and I install windows. The next day I get no output to monitor with my MSI 6950 Twin Frozr III, also motherboard is beeping to indicate no VGA detected. Put it in second PCI-E slot and bingo, it works but it's at 8x.
Presume mobo faulty, got an MSI Z68A GD65, I get the exact same problem, won't show anything in primary slot but will run fine in secondary at 8x.
I really don't understand what the problem could be if not the graphics card in this case.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Rest of the spec:
i5 2600k (stock speed)
Corsair TX 650,
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz.

reseat the card into the slot and ensure that's filled very well into the PCI-E slot
also ensure that all power cables are connected to the VGA.

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6950 not filling screen

hi, i have a custom computer with a MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6950. when using said card with my 23'' Samsung sync master SA550 there is about 3/4in of black outside of the screen that is not being filled. it is not the monitor as i have tried it on 2 others and had the same problem. I am using an HDMI connection. i feel like it might be a driver problem or something but I've tried everything I can think of with no luck...... any help you could give me would be great, thanks.

...then go into the AMD Vision Engine Control Centre along the left hand side, look for "My Digital Flat-Panels" click this and in the new options find "Scaling Options (Digital Flat-Panel)", move the slider right till it says 0% and this should fix the issue. Good luck!
