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)

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,

MOBO: Gigabyte P55A-UD4P P55 1156pin USB3 DDR3 Motherboard
Bios: Version F9

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.

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

MSI CD53, i5 750 - Problem with CPU Fan Speed

Hello
I have problem with this counfiguration: i5 750, MSI CD53 Motherboard.
I Have processor overheating poblem. I noticed that processor easly can go up to 90C.
I check phisycal installation, and all its ok.
After that i check RPM of CPU FAN and i noticed that it cant go over 1000 RPM, so propably this is problem.
In MSI Control Center maximum i can set 1000 RPM.
I read that CPU FAN can go up to 3000 RPM.
Maybe i have something wrong set up in bios? What can i do with this?

CD53
Which board exactly do you have?
What is your current BIOS Version?
What kind of CPU-Fan are you using (3-Pin or 4-pin PWM (four wires) and which connector is it attached to?
What are your current fan speed/control settings in BIOS Setup?
Quote
I check phisycal installation, and all its ok.
Physical installation is one thing, but what about thermal paste (have you used a PROPER amount (too much thermal paste has the opposite effect))?
What about your case ventilation?

I noticed that processor easly can go up to 90C.
Please check the CPU's core temperatures with CORE TEMP, REAL TEMP or HW-MONITOR!

MSI 651 Combo / MS6769 Problem with Temperature

Hi. I´m having some troubles with my mb, since 2 weeks ago. Suddenly, it starts to appear that cpu temperature go 70 º C (158 º F), and i hadn´t do anything. I changed the cooler, and put some new grease, and nothing happen. Then i searched in this forum, and i found a message simmilar, that said something about upgrade bios, and thas what i recently do (WS6769 v1.0 originally, then V1.3, then V1.2). But nothing...
What should i do? buy another mb? I don´t want to.
Thanks.
Claudio

Well, i´m pretty sure that it is the mother board, because, i already changed all what´s possible to change: processor, RAM, hd, power supply, processor.
Din: I don´t know what´s "corecenter". I already upgraded BIOS (to v1.2 that supuestly fix my problem), and put thermal paste (grease? in spanish "pasta disipadora") between CPU cooler and CPU. And i do change the processor (i put a p4 1,8GHz), with other FAN processor (CPU cooler), and the same temperature.
Danny:Those details you ask me:
In a label on the power supply (lVoltage MAXAmpere): +5V 30A, +3.3V 20A, +12V 15A, -12V 0.8A, -5V 0.5A, +5Vsb 2.5A.
It is a Maxpower 300 Watts ATX, model PX300.
On BIOS PC Health: Sys Temp: 18ºC/66ºF, CPU Temp 66ºC/150ºF (up to 70ºC), CPU Fan speed 2909 RPM, Vcore 1.68V, 3.3V 3.26V, +5V 5.10V, +12V 12.03V, -12V -12.19V, VBAT(V) 3.26V, 5Vsb(V) 5.14V.
I have a Celeron 1,8 GHz, socket 478, a MSI 651 Combo MS6769 Motheboard, with nothing else. Hd Maxtor 30Gb, Rewriter MSI 52x24x52.
The problem: From one day to another, it wasn´t load XP. It resets itself after a few seconds (about 5 secs). On the BIOS PC Health section, i actived the CPU Temperature beep on "too much degrees" (i don´t remember the exact name, but that´s the idea). And that´s how i realize that the temperature is the problem. I think it is how the motherboard inform the temperature, and it is a nominal temperature, not real. If it´s real, i already had a burnt processor.
Anything else that can help to find a solution for me?
Very thanks.

One more time - problems with fans

I realize this is but one of hundreds or possibly thousands of cases of Mac users being plagued by fan noise problems, but to me it has been a long and extremely frustrating saga. I have been a Mac user since the very beginning, through different versions of Macs and iMacs, and this is the first time I ever refer to a Macintosh as a "piece of junk."
I bought my iMac G5 in August 2005, a 20-inch ALS with 250 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. It worked perfectly until January this year, when all of sudden it shut down by itself. Freaked me out completely. Turned out to be power supply problem (EMC 2056) which Apple never informed me about.
I brought it to a repair shop that fixed the intermittent shut-down problem. I also added 1GB memory. But then the fans started to go berserk. Before the power supply problem, I only heard the fans whenever I used a large program like Photoshop. For the most part, it was a very quiet machine. After the power supply was replaced, within minutes of turning the iMac on, I could hear the fans spinning faster and faster, stabilizing at around 4400 rpm and did not stop spinning until I put the iMac to sleep or turned it off, regardless of CPU usage or software being used.
I checked the discussions at this forum (over 500 posts, no real answer) and did every "voodoo trick" suggested: I reset the SMU dozens of time, cleaned the inside of the iMac and around the fan area, did apple hardware test (everything was fine), monitored temperature and activity with XRG (average CPU at 160F, hard drive at 113F), cleaned out caches, tested for corrupt preferences, re-installed the original OS 10.4 (which only made the fans louder), upgraded it back to OS 10.4.9. I also removed the additional 1 GB memory, thinking it might be a bad piece. It didn't help.
Finally, I requested fan replacement from Apple and got them. I installed them last Sunday and now the problem is even worse! Within SECONDS of turning it on, the CPU T- Dio soars to around 170F, even while the machine is still stone cold to the touch. The hard drive temperature now averages at 117F, CPU fan is never below 4000 rpm (4400 rpm 98% of the time), even at 5-8% CPU usage.
The fans themselves are much quieter because they're brand new. But you can still hear the hums and whirs and it drives me nuts. More seriously, my iMac is now narcoleptic. If I use it too long (a few hours on a stretch) it will put itself to sleep, apparently because it thinks it is overheated. And when I use Photoshop or Illustrator, the awake time is even shorter. Depending on the outside temperature, at the most I can only use them for about an hour at a time. Two days ago we had heat wave, and even with the air conditioner running full blast in my study, the iMac kept falling asleep within minutes of using Illustrator.
Right now I am using TextEdit and no other program is running. Uptime is 59 minutes, average CPU 9.6%. CPU T-Dio is at 168.8F, hard drive 117.5F, CPU fan at 4400 rpm. I am out of ideas and before I do something drastic to this machine, if anyone knows what's going on with my iMac (I know every case is different), please help!

iMacG5 ECM 2056 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 20"/2.0GHz Power PC/1.5GB DDR SDRAM/250GB

I do not have the solution... but the same problem with a nice iMac G5 purchased in July 2005.
My Mac operated very silently untill 6 month ago;problem MAY ( I am not sure) have started when I upgraded to 10.4.10 ; even with few applications and low CPU usage (80% or more inactive), it seems that I have the following regrettable chain of events;
==> the CPU temperature is quite high ( 60°c to 72°c most of the time, ie 140-160 °F)
==> resulting in fan turning at high speed ( 2.000 for CPU and system, 2500 for HD), and changing speed all the time
==> resulting in a noisy computer
I am SURE this was not the case 6 month ago, and I suspect it is linked to my upgrade to 10.4.10.
I did all sorts of reinstall, authorization repair, SMU reset, fan clean-up with no sucess.

Problem with fan speed on FM2-A75-P33

I have a problem with setting a lower cpu fan speed on my motherboard (Win7 64).
It always runs on high speed, and I can not decrease it. When I set values for min speed in ClickBios II (or manually in Bios before booting) to 0%, and desired temperature on some higher amount (60C), nothing happens. It always run on same high rpm, regardless any change of values. What can I do? Same thing with sys fan.
Live Bios says that I have latest version of BIOS and drivers.
thanks

That is odd. Only thing I can think of is maybe a conflict in settings between Click Bios and actual BIOS. One of the reasons I never use those programs. I'm not sure what to tell you, except that the fan speed settings on my board have all worked properly using standard BIOS settings.
If I was having issues I'd uninstall click BIOS and see if the issue continues. At least then you would know it's something else.

MSI VOX TV@nywhere -- Problems with blinking in down side of the window

I write to you because i saw your site and posts on forum.
First sorry for my bad english,but i need help...
I bought MSI USB TV@nywhere card yesterday, and i install
the drivers etc, but i have problems with connection on
COMPOSITE and S-VIDEO. When i set device to any of that two
connections and play video form DVD component player, i got a
picture and sound but i have some blinking (blinkering) efekt in place
of subtitles (down bar on the MSI PVS window).
First i have black bar on the screen,and behind is playing video, and if
I change types to PAL-B or any other, then it starts to blink and gets me
picture same like upper side of the window with blinking effect (name of the
connection is blinking on that "bar" in the application window).
on TV i have no problems, it works good.
i download new driver but i have the same efect...
did anybody have same problem, or you know how to make it works normaly?
thanks for all....

HP Probook 6540b problem with fan speed and sound card

Hi.
Sorry for my English.
I have installed Arch 32bit on probook 6540b (it has core i5 processor). Cpufrequtils works well - with governor set on ondemand frequency is adjusting correctly but fun is running max speed all the time. I have tried to configure lm_sensors but it doesn`t detect any sensors. Also fun folder in acpi is empty. It would be great if You could help me.
Thanks for any advice.
...ergh
Fan sometimes works slow so maybe its overheating problem.
But
I have another problem with sound on this laptop. I have IDT 92HD75B3X5 sound chip and snd-hda-intel module loaded for it but it doesn`t make any sound. In Amarok it looks like something is playing because progress bar is moving. I have tried everything from arch wiki and other sources but nothing works. Maybe You can help?
Thanks

Hi. Yes. I also tried all tricks with model etc. and nothing. Now I have installed oss and have some progress. I have sound on pcm2 when I run osstest, no sound on pcm1 (but it looks in test like it plays something) and input/output errors from pcm3 to pcm7. I have oss output in multimedia in kde and when I run test I can see moving strips or something (I dont know the word for it ) in ossxmix but I hear nothing. I I tried all configurations in ossxmix and nothing.

MSI FX 5700 Ultra problem with linux

Hi,
I know that linux are not officially suported by MSI VGA cards, but NVIDIA based VGA cards use to work under linux. I've got a problem with a recent purchase and until now I didn't found any answer.
Here is my problem, if anyone here have an idea :
I recently upgraded my video card Geforce 2 MX to a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra from MSI (FX 5700 Ultra TD128).
I've an Athlon XP 2000,
motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VAXP, 512 Mb,
distrib Mandrake 9.2
latest nvidia driver 5328
At startup after installation, Mandrake detected a new hardware, but it was not the right card name. The video test failed and X (graphic mode) didn't start.
Back to console mode, I discovered that even the console mode doesn't work properly : I have no cursor and the screen lines don't scroll up when the screen gets full (very hard to type commands or edit files).
I checked the XF86Config-4 : for me it seems ok. Actually, it didn't change from the previous card.
I've no errors in the XFree log (no lines with (EE)).
I went to the MSI site to look for a newer bios version, but there is'nt.
I tried both DVI and VGA connection with my LCD monitor, same thing.
I also tried running Knoppix (liveCD distrib), same prob.
I pasted below the message i've got on screen when I try to start X manually (this doesn't help much either) :
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
It seems to me that this graphic card simply doesn't work under linux.
Thanks a lot for any help.

To get X to work with your LCD during the installation process append nofb as one of the installation options.
I have a 17" LCD so you might like to compare the relevant sections in your XF86Config with these:
Section "Module"
   Load "dbe"
   Load "extmod"
   Load "fbdevhw"
   Load "glx"
Load "dri"
   Load "record"
   Load "freetype"
   Load "type1"
EndSection
(The Load "dri" gets removed prior to installing nvidia's Forceware drivers.)
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "Monitor0"
   VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
   ModelName "CML174SX"
   DisplaySize 340   270
   HorizSync 24.0 - 80.0
   VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
   Option    "dpms"
EndSection
