Msi r9 290 gaming (twin frozr)

hi....i have a problem about this card, this card temp goes till 87 degree @65% fan at gaming, and 89 degree @100% fan at furmark, but when i saw my friends card temp (msi 290/290x), they only max at 72 degree in gaming, and my room temp even colder than them

You can freely change thermal paste as long as you don't cause physical damage. MSI's policy is to consider the warranty only void if the card gets damaged by working on it. If you want a confirmation of your loacal MSI branch contact them: >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • MSI RADEON R9 290X TWIN FROZR GAMING OC 4GB GDDR5

    Hey all
    Quick question. does this MSI RADEON R9 290X TWIN FROZR GAMING OC 4GB GDDR5 support the uefi bios?. also... if i have to update it, do i need to do it single or will it update both at same time as i have two of these?.
    thanks in advance sorry if it sounds like a stupid question but i really not so sure :P don't wanna screw things up:).

    Alrighty thank you that's good to hear  so it will auto choose the bios needed?, so i can switch my bios back to normal? and will boot fine?, because  i had sapphire 290x tri-vapour vt that had a switch to change to uefi mode. but i had to get them replaced as they died. and i was not sure if these msi ones where ready with uefi but yeah glad to hear that really , hopfully i get better luck with you guys i'm gona keep away from sapphire ^.^

  • MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming Twin Frozr - GPU_Z Speeds not right

    I've just purchased the MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming Twin Frozr which is supposedly spec'ed at 1020mhz GPU clock from factory.
    however, running GPU_z reveals that the GPU clock is 980 mhz only. seems like 40mhz less than stated in the product details?
    what I did do is messed with MSI GamingApp and when i chose the "OC" setting it went to 1020 mhz.
    is this expected?
    I was under the impression that it would be 1020 mhz as baseline without any sort of application tuning etc...
    thanks in advance.

    The card works as it should. Just refer to the product site:
    Quote from: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-780Ti-GAMING-3G.html#overview
    1020MHz Core (Boost Clock:1085MHz) (OC Mode)
    980MHz Core (Boost Clock:1046MHz) (Gaming Mode)
    876MHz Core (Boost Clock:928MHz) (Silent Mode)
     3072 GDDR5 7000MHz Memory
    The baseclock of 1020 Mhz is only enabled using oc mode of the Gaming APP while the Gaming Mode is the normal clockrate it would run at even if not using the Gaming APP. Of course you could still oc with Afterburner while at OC mode and up the clockrate even further or you are just using an oc tool like Afterburner to adjust the clockrate completely manually.
    The APP doesn't change any voltage settings. The voltage is determined by the gpu using Boost 2.0 (up to the maximum Nvidia boost voltage).

  • MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II" crash at 50 degrees Celsius

    I get artifacts (pink squares all over screen) in heaven benchmark, fluid benchmark and gta 4,  a few seconds  later I get a black screen and then an error message there windows tell me the driver has crash but praise msi it was successfully recovered. All this then the card is nearing 50 degrees Celsius.
    I have:
    MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II", (BIOS: 70.24.0a.00.00)
    Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H, Socket-AM3
    AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
    Corsair Powersupply 650W Black,ATX/EPS
    Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL9
    Windows 7 64bit (with sp1)
    DC OUTPUT    +3.3V +5V  +12V -12V  +5Vsb
    MAX LOAD    24A    30A  52A   0.8A   3A
    I tested driver on msi site and the latest nvidia driver, even tested some beta driver. All give the same result as stated above. I also tested to set the clocks at reference speed but no go. Also tested voltage at 1025.

    Got a new card today, same card but new.
    No problems now, seem the new card has newer bios and lower  core voltage. Maybe that is a way to fix it, just upgrade bios.

  • Msi r9 290 gaming edition throttling

    hello has anyone came accross the msi r9 290 gaming edition gpu throttling when doing benchmarks as when i enable oc mode the score is less than when i benchmarked in silent mode using heaven benchmark

    The card has major issues, or the drivers. MSI why does it throttle when temps are good?
    There is a fix, but MSI need to look at this urgently, see full details here

  • MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III loss of output

    Hi folks,
    I recently needed my monitor to test another rig and upon plugging it back in I discovered my MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III no longer has video output, I have tried different outputs, different cables, different displays and different motherboard slots to no avail. Had a search around and couldn't find any other instances of this. The card is 2 years old now but has always functioned perfectly (apart from the well publicised memory temperature problem). Any ideas what might be causing this issue?
    Regards,
    hotrats
    Specs:
    Windows 7 PRO SP1 64bit
    AMD FX-8350 8 Core Black Edition Processor 4.57gHz OC
    ASUS M5A99X EVO Motherboard R2
    MSI nVidia GTX 560ti Twin frozr III
    Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB DDR3
    Thermatake 750W Evo_blue 2.0
    I'm assuming drives and case aren't the issue so not listing them.

    The card is 2 years old, but how long wasn't it used for and did you ever had any problems with it?
    First of all, I would reset CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<< so all the OC is removed (write down settings of CPU OC if you want to use it later on).
    Then (I don't know Asus boards) would look through the BIOS if it recognises the card. Possible you should get rid of the possible dust in PCIe slot?
    Also: while card is plugged in, run computer and: try all the video ports, even those on motherboard (maybe board doesn't recognise the card and wants to run integrated gpu if there is any).
    Last but not least: ask a friend/colleague if you can test your card in their computer. Best if it would be different brand of motherboard, and power supply. Possibly power supply is screwed up somewhere (broken connection)and doesn't deliver enough power to give output.
    Does the card start up when you run the PC (fans of the card)?

    i would like to check if i assembled everything fine, and it works as it should do. How can i test this video card?
    I played Diablo 3 with a friend of mine and compering his fps with the same video settings my pc has lower fps then his pc. And my pc is much better.
    Probably Diablo 3 is not the best game for test everything, but maybe is just a signal that means that something is going wrong
    thanks for your answer and attention.

    You can inrease gpu clockrate in little steps with >>MSI Afterburner<<. If it gets unstable reduce clockrate by a step until it is stable again. GPU will have better performance as long as it is not bottlenecked by the cpu.
    i dont get it..with this u mean that i need to increase gpu or cpu clockrate? how should i set afterburner?

  • MSI Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frozr V2/OC BIOS update

    Have there been any BIOS updates compatible with my card? Perhaps adding Boost or (more importantly) Windows 8 UEFI features, or bug fixes? My BIOS is dated 2012-05-24, and I very much suspect there have been updates with Win8 features since that date. My card is the MSI Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frozr V2/OC, which I believe is the second revision of the MSI Twin Frozr HD 7950 line, before the Boost editions. It is, I believe, the only model in the line which used an HD 7970 pcb instead of an HD 7950 pcb. I would appreciate the latest BIOS, and if it wouldn't be too much trouble, a changelog?
    My BIOS, which I have captured using GPU-Z, can be found here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jeq0pt
    S/N: 602-V277-05SB1205142483
    Also, if I do choose to flash, which position should my dual BIOS switch be set to?
    Thanks very much.
    Edit: Wow, got my serial number completely wrong the first time.

    I have a UEFI GOP (Windows 8 Feature) vbios for you (attached):
    Decompress the attached .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
    Then unpack the previously provided archive (200.rar) and put the included file (TV277MH.200) on that stick.
    Rename TV277MH.200 to 200.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive provided on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
    Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 200.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

    How to:
    Create a USB key bootable
    How to make USB key bootable: http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
    Then get attached file, and extract & copy all files nvflash.exe, CWSDPMI.EXE and 103.rom
    to the USB key.
    Then reboot the computer and boot from the bootable USB key,
    when you see A:\ or C:\ type:
    nvflash.exe -b old.rom [ENTER]
    Wait process to finish, this will backup/save your current VBIOS.
    Then flash the new VBIOS with:
    nvflash.exe -4 -5 -6 103.rom [ENTER]
    Wait process to finish, then reboot the machine and you're done
