New 290X Gaming Really high temps.

Hi,
I just purchased a new MSI Gaming R9 290X. The card runs super hot. I am not doing benchmarks. It runs hot just playing games. I have to stop gaming because the card is reaching 90C. It doesn't seem like the fans are kicking up like they should. I also have tried to manually control the fan speed using the CCC and MSI AB. None of those will let me touch the fan settings. Please help
CPU: i7 3970X
MOBO: Rampage IV Extreme
RAM: Viper 3 2133
GPU: MSI Gaming R9 290X
SSD: Samsung 840 250GB
HDD: WD Cavier Black 1tb X4 raid0
PSU: Thermal Take 1300W

**Update**
Last night I was monitoring the GPU usage and it is hovering at 100% load and then dropping back down to normal which should be around 30-50% for this card. I had a 280x that never reached 100% playing the same game. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. Although I used the new version of driver sweeper... I forget what its actually called. That is the reason for the temps. My fan speeds up to about 3k RPM and stays there but the load is pretty much stuck at 100%. Is there anything I can do to bring it down or does it seem like a bad card?
Thanks for the responses
@Denis01: It takes maybe 7-10 mins on average. Not long at all. Idles at 40C
@Nichrome: will try to reapply thermal paste once I get home.

My iPad (new 16gb) is often high temp and makes many times restarts. Is this problem? What should I do?

My iPad (new 16gb) is often high temp and makes many times restarts. Is this problem? What should I do?

Take it back. Dont try to trouble shoot. I just upgraded to the new ipad last week. Mine doesnt do that. It doesnt even get that "hot" like people say. A little warmer, yes. It should no way keep restarting due to temperature. If someone here says its normal, they are full of crap. Dont screw around with it, just take it back asap and explain it to apple. You will get another one.

R9 290X GAMING 4G - high temperatures?

Hi!
On IDLE its about 38*C (100.4*F) to 42*C (107.6*F), but while gaming it raises from about 86*C to 90*C (186.8 to 194 *F). My PC is very well vented using 8 fans (7x120mm and 1x140mm except CPU) temp. in room is about 28*C (82*F).
Those temperatures are normal for R9 290X GAMING 4G with Twin Frozr?

Yesterday, I decided take to pieces heat sink and first what I saw that backplate was not tighten (!). In result thermopads on power section had dust on it (so in my opinion they had no cooling). Now GPU core, where I was shocked too. Cooling paste was everywhere, not only on GPU core, also on resistors that surrounding GPU core, also there was a little stripe on black plate that surrounds GPU. Cooling paste was not properly applied!
I should get extended warranty because of that not-cooled power section and Chinese worker who assembled my GPU should be fired!
After tightening screws on backplate and heatsink, and replaced cooling paste temperatures are normal now (about 86*C), not 91*C.
I was very disapointed, adding that this is the first product from MSI.

GT60 0NE new EC getting very high temps

Hi , i have a GT60 0ne with gtx680m. I just update the firmware n bios but the new EC which i download (16F3EMS1.413.zip) from the msi site is making my gpu pretty hot. Temps used to be 79-80 on full load and
now my highs are like getting onto 90s and it seems the fan doesnt scale very well with the temps. It is much more quiet in fact after the new EC update but its making my gpu running like an oven.
Any advice or help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi flobelix and thanks for the clarification. I just flashed back the old EC from msi china as most msi sites have been updated with the new EC. Yup its loud but i think i have more peace of mind.
Thank you.
which old version is this?

290x Gaming 4G - NO FAN CONTROL AFTERBURNER

I am not the only person, why on earth does MSI PAY for Afterburner and not have proper control of their cards through it?
The stock fan control profiles SUCK and I'd be happy to have just plain ole, SIMPLE fan control. Afterburner doesnt work, MSI Gaming APP doesnt do (horrible program BTW devs) and CCC doesnt work either... YAY!
Someone tell me I am moron for not finding some hidden checkbox, otherwise I am pretty disappointed with my two new 290x Gaming 4G's.

Use the attached for both.
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (TV308MH_161.rar) and put the included file (TV308MH.161) on that stick.
Rename TV308MH.161 to 161.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios if flashing both cards one after another with one card removed. If you want to flash both in one system the syntax listed before will just flash one card. You'd need to type then atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom [ENTER] and atiflash -p -f -noaper 1 161.rom [ENTER].

MSI GTX770 gaming high temp, is this normal ?

GTX770 gaming 2GB
PSU NZXT 650 i just got this one so i think it's not a problem
When i'm gaming usually is Battlefield 4 temp is always 80-84c.
but highest temp show on afterburner is 87c sometimes it's could up to 89c , i cant check it's realtime because rivastatic server do not support battlefield 4 x64.
what wrong with it, it's sound temp too high i'm not OC and not use gaming app.
I never get crash or poor performance or something else but high temp.
Indeed i wanna try to replace silicone but i can't because they have warrantry void on the screw of the card.

Quote from: flobelix on 13-December-13, 06:01:43
MSI allows to change thermal paste or even change cooler as long as not damaging anything doing so. The sticker is there to warn unexperienced users about possible risk of voiding warranty. So no worries warranty will be fine. If you want to hear from MSI contact the local branch: >>How to contact MSI.<<
Here's afterburner SS look at max temp said 88c max.
I'm read many review from any website not even see high temperature like this on msi GTX770 or other brand , that why I came here I just want to know is my tempreature normal
If yes i will not do anything.
Here's the viod on the screw , Are you sure I can remove it
I bought it's from distributor call ascenti resources in Bangkok Thailand.

intel 3770k cpu
16gb ram 1866 Corsair
2x ssd 256 gb OCZ
MSI 290x gaming
win7 64bit ultimate.
When i came home with my card i removed my old 7970 and replaced it with my new card.
Put some programs up like gpu-z cpu-z realtemp ext.
Then run Unigine-valley Benchmark with OC tool MSI at 1040 option.
My cpu at 4.2ghz OC
Score Unigine valley v1.0: 61.1 fps-score2558-min fps 30.3/max fps 112.8
Custom settings at 1920-1080 and ultra 8x aa windowed.
Seems ok result.
Now to problem i have.
So next i did (dumb me hehe) i try OC my CPU with All-suit II from ASUS to OC cpu extreme mode which stress test untill stable clock is found.
Got a crash bluescreen and then after few attemps stable 4.3.
Then did new benchmark and my score was alot lower and nomatter what i try my 290x did not pass 60fps any more and score dropped to 2100?
3dmark firestrike gave first time score of 9655 and after my disaster with cpu failed attemp 9200.
My card is stuck at 60fps max it won't get any higher?
The GPU-Z also show PCI-E 3.0 X16@ X1 1.1and when i activate render i see it only change to x16 1.1 i never see gen 3.0.
CPU-Z info motherboard also only pci-express link with x1 and x16
My questions is how can o solve this problem it seems my motherbaord don't reconize my videocard anymore?
Also posible that something with the OC attemp CPU broke something?
I also try change from AUTO to GEN3 in bios but then i get a blackscreen when i boot up it stays backscreen, have to change it switch videocards so i can see my boot again and go into BIOS.
Im at a lost here, hope one of you know a solution or whats my problem?
Hope ive supply enough info im bit of a newbie at this sorry for that.
Thanks in advance.

I really need this issue resolved it is driving me insane!!! How can the images appear perfectly fine on my laptop then when transferring over to a USB stick they just corrupt!?

Check out this site:

290x Gaming 8GB BIOS

R9 290X Gaming VBIOS Request

I just bought a brand new MSI 290X Gaming 4G and I have no control over fans, the msi GamingApp seems to have no control either.
SN:602-V308-06SB1403000948

Hi,
Is anyone able to clarify some or all of the BIOS issues/info?
My 290X Gaming is exhibiting some stuttering issues. I have read through several forums over the last week and determined that a BIOS update has resolved this issue with brands. So, after more reading, I've ended up here. This is certainly disconcerting. When one spends over $600 on a video card for the 'Best' you'd hope it's not a 1/2 functional kludge.
I tried the 160 BIOS and lost fan control with the card set to Legacy Mode Switch Position #1. GPU-Z showed a different version than with the card set to UEFI Mode Switch Position #2. Position #2 shows the old BIOS version and the in this mode the fans are controllable. As well, in position 1 which seemed to be the new BIOS with the loss of fan control, the whole computer seemed funky and ultimately the screen would go black and I'd have to shutdown and reboot.
So are there typically 2 separate flashes? One legacy and one UEFI? Does one have to flash the card in both switch positions? I was of the understanding that position 2 is locked and position 1 is for flashing.
Would someone kindly elaborate on all this? I couldn't seem to find the info here.
Also, there seem to be 4 BIOS here;
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?manufacturer=MSI&model=R9+290X
Obviously 2 are 1030MHz and 2 are 1040Mhz.
For each speed, it shows versions
VER015.042.000.003.000000 f1040.h02
VER015.042.000.003.000000 u1040.h02
So, what is the difference? Is one supposed to be Legacy and one UEFI?
Again, some insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

[REQUEST] Latest VBIOS R9 290X GAMING 8G

Hey there...
just want to know if I'm using the lastest VBIOS for my R9 290X GAMING 8G Card, cause since latest LiveUpdate - Update it tells me my Card isn't supported.
S/N: 602 - V308 - 24SB1412086611.
My VBIOS is attached.
Thanks in advance.

My system isn't a typical Gaming PC, its a Dell Precision T7810 high performance workstation. (I use a second card (AMD FirePro W7100) for professional use and the R9 290X for gaming purposes)
So it's also a Dell Mainboard (there is no real model-no. for it)
Nevertheless see this link for more information about the mainboard:
https://qrl.dell.com/Files/en-us/Html/Manuals/T7810/Avalon5OMSystemBoardComponents=GUID-54ECAABE-423B-496A-B3B7-1923E632590E=1=en-us=.html

Suddenly gets really high distorted sound that really scared me!

Hi
I have had a really horrifying problem lately. When I edit in FCP with clips that have audio, suddenly the sound just distorts and gets really high. I paniced and threw off my headphones scared that I had lost my hearing :S
I carefully tried to play in FCP again and everything was normal. This just happened over a second. This was with earphones.
I was confused but thought it only was a one time thing but now I have gotten it more often and even iTunes kept being ****** up after quitting FCP. No sound from songs came out but when I raised and lowered the volume on the computer it sounded awful and high at the same db even though I lowered the volume :S This time it happened with the computers speakers.
Please does someone know how to fix this before I loose my hearing or my speakers!?
Thanks a lot!

I have a brand new L15W-B130, Part: PSKVQU-002002, Serial: XXXXXXXXX.
Everything is up to date as far as I know. When audio is playing and there is activity on the WiFi connection, the audio distorts terribly. For example, if iTunes is playing an already-downloaded audio file, and then you download a second audio file, during the very brief duration of that download, the audio that is currectly playing gets trashed. The same thing happens when viewing online videos. If the video is changing rapidly, the audio portion of the video will get distorted horribly, This makes it impossible to watch anything online. This happens with the built-in-speakers, external speakers, and headphones, so it is something in the PC. This does not happen with any other devices on the WiFi network, so it;s not that. My next test will be to hardwire an ethernet cable to the L15W and see if turning off WiFi fixes it. Even if it does, a laptop without properly functioning WiFi would be useless, so I will have to return it unless a permanent fix can be found. Thank you.

Very high temp, but no problems at all!!!

Ok I got this k7n2-l last month. When I installed it with my 1800 xp, the temps would hover about 60 to 75 c. So I went and bought a new cpu cooler( therm vol 7) adn applied some artic silver 2. no change in temps. this cpu ran like 30 to 40c in my old k7s5a board with retail cpu fan. So I went and bought a xp 2200. and had them install it pro installed with retail cpu fan and thermal pad. now my temp hover between 70 and 100 c. the funny thing is I have never had a crash or any system problems what so ever. And I play counter-strike everyday. I ordered a ther volc 9 with some artic silver 3. But doesnt this seem weird. that I get these high temps and my system is very stable. I even oc'd the 2200 to a 2400 and get the same temp readings. I think the temp is wrong. Oh and I'm reading it from the bios and pc alert 4. what do you guys think?

With a Duron 800 and a Thermalright SK-5 and a 60 MM fan blowing about 12 CFM i was sitting around 120 F. I installed a Valcano 9 and the temp whent up to 131 F. I thougth i installed it wrong so i took it off, cleaned it and re aplied some Arctic Alumnia and the temp was stilla round 130 F. I took it off, put the SK-5 back on and it dropped to around 124 F. I took the 80 MM fan off the Valcano 9 and placed it on the SK-5. The temp whent down to around 118 F. Needless to say the Valcano 9 heatsink is a peice of . Or my first generation old ass SK-5 is badder asser. But i dought that seeing the I was getting the same temps with a $8 CoolerMaster.
Now with my Athlon 1700+ @ 195x10 I hover around 127 - 131 F with the Thermaltake fan from the Valcano 9 at its lowest setting, compleatly silent, spinning about 2500 RPM's.
I attached the sensor from the Valcano 9 to the bottem of the Proc whith some thermal tape. With a little re-wiring i ran it into my Vantec NXP 201. What ever it reports is usally around 3 - 5 C lower then the Bios. Usually around 48 C. I thought the Bios temps where way off. But now lookign at it i'm not so sure they are. If the temp in the Bios is being taken fromthe core of the Proc and the temp on the Vantec Nesus is being taken from the bottom of the proc, and theres only a free degrees difrence, i'm not sure the Bios is wrong.
This is on an ILSR BTW..

Really high latency in games

I have the verizon fios 75/35 plan and over the last few days I've noticed really high pings of up to 300 ms in games I play. I honestly don't know what the problem is but I've included a tracert and pathping report to the server I play WoW on. Hopefully someone can help me figure this out. I really appreciate it.

AT&T's hops are often set to have ICMP on lower priority. Doesn't mean the routes are congested but they could be running them close to capacity. It's hard to say if that's the case unless there are AT&T U-Verse and ADSL2+ users seeing congestion issues constantly on their backbone. Word has it that normally their backbone is pretty solid, just like Verizon's and transfer rates between Verizon and AT&T are often pretty solid as well.
As Blizzard doesn't allow ICMP into their own datacenters it's hard to say where the breakdown could be. While at work earlier today, despite hitting latency of 60ms from New York to the BattleNet servers in Los Angeles I was seeing some lost packets between the hops starting at the hop of 12-122-254-238.attens.net [12.122.254.238] . It may have been problematic as the router beyond that, mdf001c7613r0004-gig-10-1.lax1.attens.net [12.129.193.250] was also giving me drops but as the traceroute cannot continue further than that I have no idea if it carries the rest of the way.
BattleNet lag isn't uncommon, and I feel that half of the reason is because they exclusively use AT&T's network. I normally lag on anything that has to go through AT&T, whether it is TF2, Minecraft, or a Blizzard game. For some ISPs peering with AT&T isn't too good. For others, it's often a speedy route but you have a single point of failure rendering your games (Starcraft II, World of Warcraft, etc) out of service should AT&T's network break in a bad way. Having two or more bandwidth providers around often helps.

I bought a  HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j063cl Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) last November and have been experiencing high temps and loud fans at very little CPU usage or strain. When I am streaming video often times I will hear the fan speed up every once and awhile and the TZ00 will be at about 60 degrees Celsius. I recently tested the system by playing Arma 3 on minimum graphics with shadows disabled and within a minute of playtime the fan was blaring and the TZ00 was at just under 80 degrees Celsius. I did this test with the laptop elevated on a metal stand leaving the main exhaust completely clear and the majority of the bottom also clear. During the test the CPU usage was at about 20% maxing at 30% and I was getting about 35 FPS.
(While I was typing this TZ00 was above 50 degrees celsuis)-10minutes after closing arma
What's the problem guys?

I might sound weird but sometimes CPU runs hot in a loop. If you check in Task manager, it peaks at 3.2 GHz and won't come down. This situation is because of bios problems and HP won't confirm this problems as it is their way. I solved by reducing the processor maximum power to 80% in power options. From then, CPU wont peak itself as there is a limit and won't stay in the loop. Hot air coming from left vent is solved.
But if the chasi is becoming hot while air from vents is less hot than metal chasi, then I think its CPU fan problem. I prefer you to clean the vents by disassembling the laptop though nearest HP service or local service guy. Just clean the CPU fan and coolant pipes running around the CPU and GPU. Im not an HP expert but I found these are the issues for over-heating. Remember 60 degree is considered normal temp for i7-4700 processor. But, if you feel its hotter then check it once. Don't hesitate.

New 290X Gaming Really high temps.
