MSI R7870-2GD5T/OC G fan reaches 100% at 56 degrees

Hello!
I have problem with MSI HD7870 OC, it reaches 100% of fan speed very soon, having speed at 2500-3000 rpm  until 55 degrees celsius  and then starts ramping up and reach 100% (4400 rpm)
OSD numbers e.g.  :57deg.  63% 56% 4500
Using MSI Afterburner 3.0.0. beta 10.
Afterburner setup:
Thanks for any help!

  • MSI R7870 2GD5T/OC Uncontrollable/Loud Fan

    Hi,
    Yesterday I purchased an R7870 2GD5T/OC from a local retailer. I installed it and everything seemed fine, until I started gaming. Under load, the fans spin up to 4000+ rpm, even though the temperature sits around 50-55 degrees. It's incredibly loud and I'm afraid of wearing the fans down quickly.
    I tried using Afterburner and CCC to manually adjust the fan speed. This works when the card is idling; however under load the card ignores all settings and hits 4000+ rpm. And while the tachometer in Afterburner shows the card spinning at 4000+ rpm, the Fan speed still indicates it at 40% speed (or anything I change it to).
    I have so far re-installed drivers (with drivesweeper), rolled back drivers, re-installed Afterburner, and tested the card in another system. The problem persists, and there seems to be nothing I can do. I also tried running an old 6850 on my system, which runs fine, so I'm sure the software is not an issue.
    As suggested in another thread, the problem might be caused by something in the BIOS. I have already flashed the BIOS once, however the problem still exists.
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

    And yes, I did try the card in another system, and the same problem occurred - The fan would speed up to full, and become uncontrollable under load.
    I also tried a HD6850 in my current system, and it ran completely fine.
    This is what Afterburner shows when the card is under load.

  • MSI R7870 2GD5T/OC i cant control fan

    hi i buy radeon MSI R7870 2GD5T/OC,when i play games gpu fan speed is 35% and 3500 RPM+ 57 celsia max, trixx CCC and afterburner dont work,only in idle mode. any idea to fix ? or card is damaged? srry for my english,i am from czech republic.  same  problem  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165740.0

    Sugggestion on other thread was rma. If you configured everything right for manual fan control with Afterburner (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) and that won't work the controller is properly indeed faulty.

  • MSI R7870-2GD5T/OC problems with fans

    Greetings.
    I just bought this card and got some problems with fans: when temperature of GPU rises above 52-55 degrees fans start spining at maximum speed.
    Tried fix that using MSI afterburner/Catalyst control center - no effect, fan speed showed as I set up, but the tachometer shows 4400 rev / min, which is confirmed by the characteristic sound.
    I hope that there is a fix for this beacause i cant RMA my videocard, I accidentaly lost the box, and since I paid 190€ i would like to have some support from MSI.
    Thanks.
    Edit: Noticed now that here nobody work for MSI, well an help would be great anyway

    the Original box doesn't matter if its gone as MSI don't like them in original box as they won't return the card in it.
    as long as you have the original receipt from your purchase and the Graphics card your all good....
    as for the problem your having it will be a leak current on a faulty safety catch diode (201) as they got a bad batch a while back that when it gets hot it opens the fan circuit to maximum as it thinks the card is overheating. (either remove it carefully (as long as you do not damage the card your warranty is still intact as the removal of that component is what MSI suggested when the issue first showed up) or RMA the card)

  • R7870-2GD5T/OC fan constant stop and start in idle

    Hello,
    I have an R7870-2GD5T/OC and I have the following problem with it:
    When the Windows7 turn off the screen after x minutes idle time, the VGA card cool off, and turn off the fans completely. However, 0,5 seconds after the turning off he realize the card is too hot, and turning back the fans. However, after 2 seconds he realize the card is cool off and turn off the fans completely. So on.
    This continues until the computer goin' to sleep, or the screen turn back.
    The problem is the noise. The spinning fans are ok, the stopped fans are ok too, but this constant stopping-starting make a noise like boyracers at the red sign, very annoying.
    I installed the MSI softwares, first checked the firmware update, but there is no update for the firmware. I tried to set the fan speed with the Afterburner software, and set to manually to keep the fans in working even at minimum temperature, but is didn't help. When the screen turn off, the VGA card goin to mad.
    There is any solution for this? (behind the workaround to never turn off the screen)
    This is an Intel i5 config, with 64 bit windows7.
    Thank you.

    As GPUs can operate at quite high temps, have you tried setting your min fan speed, i.e. where the fans stop spinning to be maintained up to 60C and only then start increasing the fan speed from there?
    What kind of other ventilation have you got in your machine? Have you got a fan on the side panel that can blow onto the GPU?
    Does your GPU not have a switch to toggle between normal and LN2 settings?
    If all fails, ask MSI technical if they have a different VBIOS for your card that prevents the fans from stopping at all.

  • MSI GTX570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition: Unstable at stock unless fan is 100%

    Hello Everyone,
    I got my GTX 570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition yesterday and I like it a lot.  I've been testing it and running it through various benchmarks and games to find the best stable overclocks with Afterburner.  By doing this I noticed a few things that lead me to question if there is a problem.
    Before I started trying to overclock, I ran the card at the stock settings 770core/1540shader/2000memory @ 0.962v and tried various benchmarks and stress tests.  Immediately I noticed there were errors and artifacts.  I tried to increase voltage and I noticed that the artifacts and errors were going away, so I thought maybe my VID was too low...  at 1.012v it seems to be error free at stock settings.
    I tried another thing as well, I left the card at stock VID (0.962v) and put the fan speed to 100% and I noticed all errors and artifacts completely gone.  So I lowered fan speed to 70% because 100% is too loud for me and 70% is still pretty loud but it's better...  I found that at 70% I still got some errors but not a lot.  Let me just say that my GPU Core temperatures are amazing. never over 62c.
    So now I don't know if there is a problem with my card or the factory just gave it too low of stock VID.  I think it's kind of weird that at stock settings that the card would produce artifacts and errors unless the fan speed is at 100%.  I'm guessing MSI factory tested stock overclocks with 100% fan speed?
    I love this card, but if I ever resell in the future and someone installs this card they will think its broken.
    Let me just state that finally, the card is an overclocking monster.  I am now at 950core/1900shader/2300memory @ 1.082v without any errors...  The only problem I have is that when I run unigine heaven I see some of these graphical anomalies.  Here's an example I found online which is exactly what I see.  http://fotohost.lv/images/n6azp80ru74so1ecp009.jpg
    So far I'm not sure what the cause is for that... but I think that when I put the fan at 100% I didn't see it.  I could be wrong, but I will test again when I wake up tomorrow.
    Thanks MSI.

    Thanks for the reply Henry, but the problem here is that it wasn't stable from the factory at their settings.
    Do you understand how this can be problematic for me if I ever decided to sell the card?  It is no problem for me to raise the voltage at all.  I think this card is phenomenal, but if I ever sold this card to someone else who doesn't want to or know how to overclock or adjust voltages, it would be classified as a broken or faulty video card.
    Also scratch the stability at 100% fan speed.  I still get some errors, although not many.  The card seems to be stable around 1.018 volts at default overclocked settings.
    I just didn't expect MSI to make a mistake on the stock VID.  If there were a way for them to fix it through a bios update it would be great. 
    Edit: Just for the record, the card is a great overclocker and is very stable.  The only gripe I have is that it isn't stable at default frequencies unless I bump voltage to 1.018.  This is no problem for me, but if I ever were to sell this card, I would have to have a disclaimer that it is unstable unless you put voltage higher?
    I'm just trying to figure out if this could be some oversight on MSI's part and if it isn't, could my card not have been quality inspected?

  • 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!

  • X200 CPU reaches 100 celsius degrees. is this normal?

    I'm using LenovoThinkVantage Toolbox to do a CPU stress test and and the same time I'm running TPFanControl to monitor the speed of the fan and the temperature of the CPU.
    When I run the CPU stress test the temperature of the CPU reaches 100 degrees celcius with the fan going at 7000rpms which all of it sounds excessive and not right to me. Is this normal? or there is something wrong with my system.
    Thanks in advance

    100C is around the maximum the CPU can deal with before sustaining damage.  Even then, running at that temperature for extended periods of time is most certainly going to be problematic.
    I can't imagine it was designed to be run that way, so I'm guessing there's a problem.  Maybe a heatsink is not seated properly, or something is obstructing airflow.  Either way, I'd say that if you're under warranty it's worth having the depot take a look.
