MSI Twin Frozr 780 throttling at very low power target

Hello
I bought 2 twin frozr cards and have the problem that they are throttling at very low TDP percentage.
They start to undervolt and underclock at around 85% power TDP according to gpu-z.
I have power limit set to 103 in afterburner.
I I look at afterburner power target % it shows 102 when gpu-z and kombustor and evga oc scanner shows 85%.
1. Why different values in gpu-z and afterburner. Which one is correct?
2. Why are the cards throttling so early at low TDP?

My 2 cards show boost clockrate in afterburner and gpuz same 1032, 1019.
That's already way above N780 TF 3GD5/OC (1006MHz in oc mode) or N780 TF 3GD5 (941MHz in oc mode) specs so what should be the problem.

Running heaven bench my gpu load is 98-99 on both cards. My powe consumption is around 85 in afterburner and 70 in gpuz.
That's surely not an OSD ingame reading. 85% TDP at 99% load is about impossible. Did you use Afterburner OSD?
Again GPU Boost 2.0 is very complex and does not result in the same clockrate in any application.
Stop with this cheating stuff there is no cheating involved. Also I asked for your system specs.

MSI GTX Twin Frozr 780 Fan not spinning

Hello ,
Ive had the GTX twin frozr 780 for 5 months now and every 10 to 20 cold start ups of the PC (sometimes more sometimes less) ,the left hand fan will fail to spin causing the other fan to spin at full speed. Rebooting the PC does not correct it, i have to take the side off the PC and gently tap the fan to get it spinning again, then put the side panel back on, i have put up with this for 5 months now and now had enough of it as it seems to be happening more often.
Please help as this little problem is now becoming very annoying.
When i purchased the msi 780 i got 2 off them to run in sli and the other 780 is fine and has no problems.
Ive been a good customer and have bought 4 top end msi graphics cards in the last few years and this is the only one that i've had a problem with.
When i try and rise a RMA with the place of purchase (DABS.COM) it say on there website that i have to return it back to the manufacturer , but when i try to use the msi website returns service its say that i have to return to the place of purchase ..... please could someone help as this is getting very frustrating now
many thanks Jason

Just got off the phone with dabs.com and there sending a courier in the morning to pick it up for R.M.A .
Thanks for your help.
PS just out of interest have you heard of anyone other people with the same issue, as it is very intermittent and was a bit worried that they may not replace it if they can't replicate the fault.

MSI twin frozr II freeze and glitch problem.

Hi everyone,
I have a very annoying problem with my card. Whenever I play BF3 with a total random time I get some green glitches and the display freeze (see the attached screen).
Normally I get right back on windows with this little popup "display driver stopped answer and recovery successful". But now it just freeze and I have to do a hard reboot...
Here is my config:
-I7 2600k
-Asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1
-2x4Gb Ripjaws X
-OCZ 850w 80gold+
-MSI twin frozr II GTX 580 with latest drivers
-Win 7 64b
I've already look around google, I'm not alone but it seems there is no real solution. It's really sad to have this kind of prob with that expensive card... without any solution.
Some help would be very nice.
Thanks for any help.

I've never flash my vbios.
But after downloading and trying to flash it with the link you provide nvflash says that my current version is: 70.10.20.00.01 and the one I downloaded is 70.10.17.00.01.
So am I already in the lastest ?
Thanks
this number is not vBIOS ID, so in all cases it will remain the same.

MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670

Hello
Having a slight problem with my gpu, maybe it is not a problem though.
My MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670 is idling at a great temp of 28 Celsius.
When I play battlefield 3 or future soldier my card temps hit 80 degrees, I also hit 82 degrees in fur mark.
Is this high temps for this card
thanks

Well I guess your card is a GTX 670 Power Edition because that uses Twin Frozr 4. 80 or 82°C is by far no problem especially not in Furmark. Besides the Twin Frozr 4 has more potential and gets my (much overclocked) GTX 680 Lightning to stay at 60°C under load but I have a very decent ventilation in my bigtower case. So with better airflow you'd have better temps but none the less the current temps are still far from problematic.

MSI Twin frozr 4gb OC Gaming 770 Overclocking?

Is there a way to unlock the voltage on this card? MSI Twin frozr 4gb OC Gaming 770? I clicked unlock voltage in afterburner but it did nothing? Just trying to find if there is a way.

What do you mean by unlocking? For the GTX770 (except for Lightning) 1.2/1.212 V is the absolut limit (without hardware and eventually bios modding). Anthing else is not possible. If you can't apply any overvoltage use the latest bet aAfterburner: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161235.msg1257833#msg1257833

MSI Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6950 2GB w/Sony Bravia

I have been trying for 8 months to get my MSI video card to work. I am trying to connect to a 46" Sony Bravia LCD TV via hdmi to hdmi. It works fine from the BIOS all the way to the point right before logging into windows. What can I do!?
MSI Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6950 2GB - w/updated drivers
Gigabyte z68xp mb - fresh drivers and flashed bios
windows 7 - w/all updates
No other errors.
It works fine with windows standard drivers, it's not until I install the real drivers for it or windows update does it's thing that the card becomes worthless.
Please help!!!!!

MSI Twin Frozr 2 OC 580GTX High Load temps

Hi all,
I've recently purchased a MSI msi twin frozr ii oc gtx580 (1.5gig) card. When idle, my card temperature is just 38c, but when the GPU usage reaches max (e.g. when playing games like BF3) the temperature goes upwards of 95C. All of my settings are at the factory overclock and I've tried using several drivers including 263.09, 280.26 and 285.36. Has anyone else experienced similar temperatures?

I've got a coolermaster atcs 840 case with a total of 6 Fans:
-1x 240mm Fan in the front pulling air in
-2x 120mm fans at the front (after the HDD compartment) pushing air to the rest of the case
-2x 240mm fans at the top pushing air out
-1x 120mm fan at the rear pulling air in from the outside through a small 120mm rad.
I previously had an ati 5830 installed (stock) and it never went above 79C.
Leaving the side door open doesn't have any effect

Any Reason Why Should I go with MSI Twin Frozr II 6870?

Do you guys have any reasons why should I go with MSI Twin Frozr II 6870 than other reference card??

MSi is only one of two mfg w/utils to control voltage on their 6870's the other is ASUS. Price is a tad higher than some but the cooler is reference so its not like its a twin cooler or something like the 5xxx series or the 6850's custom design (not a twin cooler however). If you dont plan on OC and tweaking voltage its probably not an issue then foor spec the 6870. Id check out all, best price and warranty, some offer 3 yrs or lifetime. When a custom cooler becomes avail on 6870's (only 6850's have them now last i checked), then id have more to comment on and suggest.

MSI Twin Frozr II Second card failure

hi guys, got the above card RMA'd replaced 3 months ago and now I have the exact same issues with the screen scattering, lines, blocks etc, just like before.
Have stripped mobo down to bare minimums and still the same.
Have an OCZ600SXS psu with 18A on the +12v rail that supplies the card.
I have heard that some OCZ supplies have issues but, as it worked fine for 3 months, I cannot see it being the PSU
Is this looking like yet another RMA to MSI?
thanks, Gordie

test the card in another computer who has different and more powerfull PSU

MSI Twin Frozr 3GD5 V2/OC 7950

Hi guys,
Been searching everywhere but I can't find out what has changed on the MSI Twin Frozr 3GD5 V2/OC 7950 from the original (not V2). Anyone have any idea if it is just a bios revision or a slight hardware (cooler/fans) change?
Many thanks!

MSI Twin Frozr Gtx 770 4gb uefi bios

Hey guys.
First time posting here.
Does my graphics card come with a uefi bios? If not, how do I get one and how do I flash it? I'm experiencing black screen hangups on startup, on a new build and people say a bios flash may be the solution.
Thanks.
My current bios: ht tp://ww w.2sh ared.co m/file/qpo5L9 My/GK104.ht ml
please delete spaces (says I'm not allowed to post external links, sorry)

A few weeks ago, I built my own pc and installed Windows 8.1. I've installed just basic drivers from vendors websites and avast, malwarebytes, some benchmarking utilities and games. I'm getting really sluggish startup speeds, and my pc stops at a black screen after the windows logo but before the logo. The way I would describe the black screen is, it happens after the windows logo but before the welcome screen - a black screen from 8-15 seconds. I cannot move my cursor or see anything. Some research from the likes of eightforums etc suggests its my gpu drivers, so I decided to post here.
What I've tried:
Reinstalled video card drivers to see if it stops black screening
Full virus scan
Made startup programs and services minimal
Checked event viewer for anything peculiar - nothing came up, besides a driver related to my asus motherboard - AMDA00 Interface. I have since disabled it, as its not needed. Still no difference.
Reinstalled windows 8.1. Still the same.
When I boot in safe mode, I also get the "hanging" black screen, although it doesn't last as long.
My specs:
CPU: Intel i5 4670K (Stock Speeds)
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Ranger
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP - 2x4GB @ 1866Mhz
GPU: MSI Twin Frozr GTX 770 4GB - CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU Cooler
PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 750W
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Windowed (with Red AKASA Led Strips)
Display: Benq GL2460HM 24" Monitor
Keyboard/Mouse: Basic sumvision keyboard and tecknet mouse - both USB. No other peripherals connected.
Any help is appreciated and feel free to ask for any more info.
Thanks

MSI TWIN FROZR II 6950 high temps

Hello all,
I've recently purchased a twin frozr 2 6950 specifically for its cooling capabilities, but it hasn't lived up to its claim of superior cooling in comparison to other reference boards. My card idles @ 44 degree celcius and 79 celcius under full load while running msi kombustor. Isn't this a little high for this card?
Also, my auto idle fan speed always hovers around 44%. Even when I manually set the fan speed to 100%, the idle temp does not go below 44c. It seems to have no effect on idle temp. The fan does throttle up as the temp climbs, but nearing 80c seems a bit much for this card.
Did I get a bad card? I have good ventiliation in my case and I also tested with my side panel off with the same results.
Comments/suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you.

Hi Henry,
My room temp ranges from 23 c to around 25 c. My main concern is the full load temp atm. I was playing Metro 2033 last night and it soared to 78 c at 75% fan speed. I know these are safe temps, but the main reason I paid extra for this card was for its reported quietness and low temps.
My previous reference board 5850 was cooler than this card. Basically this card is in align with a reference board as far as temps go, at a premium price. As far as stability, the card is solid though.
I'm hesitant to RMA the card as I don't have a spare card lying around.
