MSI R9 280X dimensions question

Hi,
I am having a serious problem with my Micro ATX case (Lian-Li PC-V355) trying to "squeeze" a high end card inside it.
So far I have tried Asus DC2 Top 7970 and MSI Lightning GTX680 without success. Both of these cards were two thick (or too tall for me) with dimensions 129,54 and 129mm respectively.
I really want to buy the MSI R9 280X but I fear its width will too high for my case...
Can anyone explain to me how they calculate the width? From which part of the card do MSI start counting?
Thank you in advance
Yannis

Is it possible for someone from MSI to tell me the actual width from the PCB to the end of the cooler?
I am asking this because In my case there is about 20mm free space from PCB and upwards.
Thank you in advance
Yannis

None of that is a bios version. We need a link to a copy of your vbios saved to file and uploaded to a file hoster to check if there is a newer version. If not allowed to link yet add a break to the link so it is masked being a link.

Others reported that too when using the same card. If unlocking won't work (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) contact MSi about it as there seems to be an issue: >>How to contact MSI.<<

UEFI is aGOP compliant vbios that allows to use secureboot/fastboot (Windows 8/8.1). If not using UEFI booting it doesn't matter which you use. Older mainboards with UEFI but not being GOP compliant on the other hand won't work with a GOP vbios and only the legacy vbios allows to use the card.

MSI R9 280x temperatures

Hi, I have a MSI r9 280x so I have been playing quite a few games, I used msi afterburner to see the temps in game, and here's what I got, at idle on windows screen the temps were 41degrees to 44degrees, in game it was upto 98 degrees, (the games were project cars and dmc5) my main question is should I be worried about this? Cuz obviously 98 degrees cant be good for your card, any suggestions? Thankyou

you can try to reseat the heatsink and to apply a new thermal paste
[assume if that will not void your warranty, you can ask your reseller or near MSI office if you can do this: >>How to contact MSI.<<]
else RMA the card..

MSI R9 280X voltage locked!!!

Hi, I have crossfire MSI R9 280X's which I received recently. I am very disappointed that they are voltage locked, I am using the latest MSI Afterburner 3.0 beta 18. The slider for voltage is locked even though I have ticked "Unlock Voltage Control" and restarted my PC. I even tried "Force Constant Voltage" to no avail. This is very disappointing since I am using a high-end MSI card and it is voltage locked yet my old XFX HD 7850 had voltage control in MSI Afterburner......
Thank you for reading and I hope there is a solution.

I have made ticket to MSI support (shortly : no voltage change supported, but iam running -84mV )

MSI R9 280x problems

Hello i have just gotten a new MSI R9 280x with building a new pc, when i installed all the drivers part from the GPU ones everything was fine, but when i installed the GPU drivers it started to crash such as "Display has crashed and restored" and sometimes it would just come up with a blue screen saying 0x00000116 error.
Now i was thinking its my GPU drivers so i try to install the newest ones and that does not work, still have the same problem
I also tried installing new motherboard drivers and bio's drivers and still nothing. So i would want to know is my GPU broken or my motherboard because everything for my motherboard has been working fine and as soon as i install GPU drivers i start having problems. I have tried to use the integrated graphics and that was working fine (This was when i took the GPU out my pc) with all the drivers for that working fine
PLease help me because i really dont know what to do
I have a MSI R9 280x
Z97-GD65 GAMING motherboard

Pleas help Robert

MSI R9 280X BF4 3GB SWITCH DVI TO HDMI???

Hi All
It has been quite a while since I have been in this forum, My old profile seems to have vanished maybe due to lack of login so I have re-registered
I am still running my trusty old 990FXA-GD80 mobo (see sig) & today I just received an MSI R9 280X BF4 3GB graphics card, I installed it & did not get any signal via the HDMI output so I found a VGA cable & DVI adaptor & connected it to the TV (Sanyo 42" LCDd) via the VGA input & it booted up fine & I was able to install the drivers & AMD catalyst etc software
I typically run MSI Geforce graphics cards so the AMD Radeon in depth options & menus etc is fairly new to me, Normally I would connect a GTX card & it would simply recognise the HDMI connected monitor or TV & all would be good but for some reason I am unable to get the HDMI output going at all?
I have both cables - DVI to VGA & HDMI to HDMI connected between the TV & graphics card
I might just have to buy a DVI to HDMI cable in the morning & see how that goes?
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Nichrome
Yes it is currently connected to a 42" LCD TV, It may not be easy to get hold of a monitor with HDMI input on loan to test either
I will be able to connect my brand new LG 60" LED LCD 3D (60LB6500) TV tomorrow & see if the HDMI will work that way? (The new LG only has HDMI inputs as far as I can find but I will know for sure tomorrow?) It may just be the older 42" LCD TV not playing the game, If the new LG 60" does not work via the HDMI output then its onto the other options........>
The previous Geforce drivers & software was completely removed before the Radeon install but I do agree it may be an issue & a clean install via driver fusion might be needed?
The current or latest drivers I could find is> 14.501.1003
I originally installed the latest drivers from the MSI site & could not find the option to connect via HDMI so I went to the AMD site hoping to fix the issue with new AMD drivers
The audio runs direct to a receiver via SPDIF so for me there is no real need for HDMI output unless it is going to be a better quality option?
From what I have read the quality or performance should not really be any different between the DVI & HDMI output so it should not be any major trouble to buy a DVI to HDMI cable? Any opinions

A few simple (?) dimension questions...

Hi, I have a few really simple dimension questions that I just can't figure out in OWB (which I'm just now starting to play with):
1) I'm trying to create a dimension that has no levels or any hierarchy. In the BI tool, I just want this dimension to act as a "pick list" for one of 8 values (DW data snapshot dates for the last 8 weeks...) Users won't summarize by this dimension, or ever have more than 1 week selected at a time. How can I set this type of dimension up?
2) Somewhat related to #1 - just to get something working, I set up a "time in weeks" dimension not as a time dimension, just as a normal user dimension. I then added a single "weeks" level with a surrogate key (using "key" instead of "id"), short desc (as the business key), and long description. Set up a mapping from my source table, everything worked fine. The strange thing I've notcied is that the relational table produced has both a "week_key" column and a "dimension_key" column. How can I get rid of the "dimension_key" column - its just an exact duplicate of the lowest level key column? Note - we will have a dimension table with over 1.3 BILLION rows in our warehouse - so duplicating this column does add a significant amount of overhead - this isn't just an academic problem.
3) related to building this "test" dimension - my source table has 8 records in it. Whenever I run the ETL to populate the dimension table, the surrogate keys end up being key values 9 - 16 instead of 1 - 8. Note this is even if I reset the sequence number to 1 before I start, etc. My understanding is that Oracle uses a variable width number field when storing data - so having this dimension with values 1-8 instead of 9-16 saves approx a byte for every fact table record (which we're predicting will be in the range of 20 - 50 BILLION rows). How can I force the dimension to start numbering at 1?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Hi
Reg #2, I do not think we can get rid of the "dimension key". It looks like OWB is creating this column as a default Primary Key and hence is not possible to remove this. May be if we build the base Table for dimension as a normal relational table, which will allow us to define our own keys, and then build the "Dimension" using AWM on this relation table may resolve the issue of having duplicate primary keys. Its only a thougt, have not tested though.

How to undervolt MSI R9 280x for Linux? VBE has no effect on cards

Hi!
Does someone know, how to lower the core voltage for a MSI R9 280x under Linux? I have 2 cards. The old one is a s/n 602- V277 -28SB (great!) and the second one is a s/n 602- V277 -38SB (bad!).
I tried with VBE on my Windows-machine and set the voltage in the "State 1 - Performance" tab to 1062 for #6 and #0. After flashing the modded bios Vgpu is still at 1200 mV when measured directly on the card with a multi meter. Power consumption at the wall is 270 Watts. However, GPUz shows 1062 mV. Afterwards I set the voltage to -100 in Afterburner. The card now reads 1097 mV and the power consumption dropped to 235 Watt.
I have no idea why the card ignores the VBE settings. Any advice would be appreciated.

You are lucky, on my 28SB I can't boot after any change from 1200mV, even with 1193mV

MSI R9 280X Twin Frozr Editon Problem can anyone shed light on it please?

Hi everyone i hope i am posting this in the right thread as i currently am in a bind.
My card has given me a white screen again, this makes it 2 times now this week and i am wondering what my options are here as i have no second card to use and cant be without my PC and be without gaming.
it happened when i closed down a game and once while alt tabbing a screen.
After a reset it is back to normal no white screen.
From what i can see it is not overheating the fans are turning it has been seated well and i have not over clocked it at all with the MSI gaming program and the driver are up to date.
What would you guys think is going on? do you think it is an RMA for me.
Thanks in advance for the help everyone.

Vertical shifting screen after installing MSI R9 280x

Hello,
Just bought and installed a (new) MSI R9 280x 3G card, downloaded all drivers etc from website and it runs fine. It runs fine except my screen now and then shifts verticaly.
Don't know how or why.
Tried my old card (MSI HD 6580 Cyclone) wich still works fine. Tried different cable, but still the same problem (with new card offcourse). Tried changing hz on my Philips 273EQH, but without succes.
My system:
i5 2500k
AS Rock Z68 Pro
Cooler Master Silent Pro 600w
Scyte Mugen 3
2x4 Ram
Windows 7
Please help with some advice.
Thank you.

If you do not know how to even check the answer is most likely no. It is an asrock board so check the asrock site for the latest version and see what your bios lists as current version when entering. Otherwise contact asrock
