New R9 280X BIOS revision - undervolting required

Hey guys I'll try keep this as short an concise as possible whilst still being thorough
I have bought 3 R9 280X's two have arrived with a different PCB/revision
S/N 602-V277-28SB - 1 older rev. boards - BIOS
Bios version 0.15.040.000.000.003435 (113-C3865000-G77)
S/N 602-V277-44SB - 2 newer rev. board - BIOS
Bios version 0.15.042.000.003.000000 (113-C865000-X77)
I have dumped the 28SB BIOS and undervolted to 1.050 volts using ATIflash & VBE7 to modify the voltages which has worked well. However the same method for the 44SB cards results in an non functioning card when 3d acceleration is required so I am forced to use the original BIOS which has no Vcore functionality
please see attached dump of original 44SB BIOS
mediafire(dotcom)/?fwvaaz3c3za9zd6
I need to lower the Vcore of these GPU's, currently the cards are sitting at ~90C under 100% load, this will not make for a long life span, I will be improving the airflow however lowering the Vcore is an easy way to knock 200-300 watts of TDP away, look for a max temp of 60-70C
Edit; I have tried the usual software AB & Trixx to no avail

Thanks for this post, applied those AB configuration, however my cfg file was named MSIAfterburner.cfg
Almost exactly the same situation as hypnoticspector, I have the same carbide air 540s.
Both cards with the 44SB and 042 Bios.
First card is hitting 97C and the second card is at 80C and fans at 100%.
Using these cards for mining so these temperatures are rather unacceptable.
you shop at cyberpowerpc.com too? love this case and the setup, just wish the temps would stay at 72ºc like so many review sites have shown. they're gonna get a lot of rmas...
i tried cleaning and reapplying 10.2w/mk thermal paste, top 5 stuff according to several sites, and it did not help. manually undervolting through bios and underclocking through afterburner slightly helps but only on one card, and it hits 80-82º which is still not acceptable. apologies for broaching any forum taboos, not sure how to edit my posts.

What's new in the BIOS Update v2.00 for Satellite L505-144

What's new in the BIOS Update v2.00 for Satellite l505-144
Thanks

Hi mate
As far as I know Toshiba European driver page does not provide any details what has been changed in the BIOS.
But I found some details on Toshiba US page.
It seems that Fn+N+1/2/3/4 debug function has been removed in BIOS 2.0 to avoid keyboard abnormal behavior.

Purchasing new HP Photosmart printer which will require new OS X Mountain Lion driver software. Which steps do I take to install new printer, old printer HP still on iMac.

Purchasing new HP Photosmart printer which will require new OS X Mountain Lion driver, which installation steps do I take. Old printer still on iMac.

Hi Carol 22,
Thanks for the post. Depending upon the printer model, print drivers may be available from ASU. If not, then go to hp.com and download Mt. Lion drivers to your iMac. After you complete the hardware setup of the printer, if connecting wireless, then connect the printer to your network and then complete the installation and add the printer. Then you can go back and remove your old printer. I hope this helps...Good Luck!
I work for HP but my posts and replies are my own....Thank you!

A newer version of AirPort Utility is required

Hi everyone,
My Airport Utility keeps telling me that "A newer version of AirPort Utility is required."
My airport extreme is a (new) dual band unit (running v7.5) and the AirPort utility (v5.4.2) seems to be the latest and greatest.
What am I doing wrong?

You need to install the new software from the disk that came with the Airport Extreme.
This is only available on the disk at this time as Apple has not released the new version for download.
The new version of Airport Utility is 5.5 which is on the disk that came with the new Airport Extreme.

My start up disk Macintosh HD is full on my McAir OSX 10.9.4 memory 4GB. I need to clear the disk so that I can update it with the new software IOS 10.9.5 requiring 2.05GB. Need guidance on how to clear space.

My start up disk Macintosh HD is full on my McAir OSX 10.9.4 memory 4GB. I need to clear the disk so that I can update it with the new software IOS 10.9.5 requiring 2.05GB. Need guidance on how to clear space.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

5.4.2 of utility: "A newer version of AirPort Utility is required."

The Airport Utility for osx 5.4.2 pops up this warning when I try to configure the base station.
"A newer version of AirPort Utility is required.
This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this Apple wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Use the version of AirPort Utility that came on the CD with your Apple wireless device. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility."
Maybe I'm tripping but I believe 5.4.2 is the latest version?

+So what do we do when someone has the newest Time Capsule (late 2009) but cannot find the install disc?+
You would need to call Apple customer support. Apple has not posted AirPort Utility 5.5 for download because...according to a "genius" at the Apple store....Version 5.5 is not fully compatible with earlier versions of the AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule and AirPort Express.

P67A-GD55 (B3) new 1.15 BIOS ERROR

Hi
I am owner of MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) motherboard. My system configuration is:
Intel Core i5-2500K (not overclocked, turbo mode is off) (water cooled)
Gigabyte GV-R695OC-1GD 1.0 graphics card
4 x 4 GB Corsair Memory (Part Number: CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9)
Corsair 90GB SDD Force III HDD + 1TB Samsung HDD
Sound blaster X-Fi gamer
I was using latest 1.14 (1.E0) BIOS version. I have Microsoft Sidewinder mouse and sometimes I had problems with my mouse. Yesterday I saw that you released new version of BIOS 1.15 which improves compatibility with gaming mouse. Without wasting time – I’ve download new 1.15 BIOS version – copy it to my booted Pen Drive. After restart system, I’ve booted form USB drive and uploaded new version of BIOS. Everything was fine till restart. System turned on for about 1,5 second, after that computer turned off. It happened every time. I’ve tried to clear CMOS by clicking on the „clear CMOS Button” on Back Panel. But it didn’t help. My computer turned on for 1,4 s and turned off. I’ve tried to “Clear CMOS Jumper” with JBAT1 jumper. But it also didn’t help. I was really pissed off. I have been uploaded BIOS for long time and I never had problems like this. I thought that I would have to return motherboard to my store. But I tried something else. I’ve put out one of my memory module (form DIMM4), suddenly my computer turned off. So I’ve enter into BIOS and set everything to default. Everything was fine. I’ve restart system, booted up. After that I’ve turned off and put in my memory module and …………. my system turned on for 1,5 s after that turned off. I was really pissed. I’ve tried with others memory slots. DIMM1, 2, 3 – and it worked OK – but with DIMM4 for was error. So I’ve download 1.E (1.14) BIOS version and upload it. Now everything is working fine (with 4 memory modules loaded) but I have still problems with my mouse. There is some problem with this 1.15 BIOS version with 4 modules loaded – or just with Corsair memory. Does anybody had the same problem?
P.S. Sorry for my English

Exactly same problem here but with GSkill memory.

New iPad (3 gen) Home button requires pressure

The Home button on my new Ipad (3 gen) requires more pressure to activate than my old iPad (1 gen). Is anyone else experiencing this with the new iPad?

I have not. My new IPad (3rd Gen) home button requires very little pressure. Sounds defective. If you are in the return window, return it. If not, sounds like you need to setup service as you are covered under warranty.

Does the 790GX-G65 Support the new UEFI / Click-Bios

Hey Everyone! Does anyone know if the MSI 790GX-G65 supports the new UEFI / Click BIOS? I presume that if it does, I could use the forum's bios flashing tool to update it

No.
The board uses old-style AMIBIOS8 coded BIOS releases. There will be no UEFI (AMI Aptio coded) releases for this board.
Still, for BIOS Updates, >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<.

Cross posted from Bios - MSI 7800GTX SLI BIOS REVISIONS

> I've pasted my post from bios to here, as no one took any interest.
Howdie peoples, after checking out the bios revisions on my SLI cards I have found they have different bios revisions. Would this play any part in bad performance?.
Card one :
05/18/05
05.70.02.11.10
(Purchased this one Sept 05)
Card two:
05/12/05
05.70.02.11.01
(This was purchased Jan 06! and later bought from eBay).
Any input would be great. biggthumbsup
Thanks
ps Anyone know where I can get the MSI 7800GTX 512 rear venting fan/heatsink assemblies? (they take up two card slots)

I thought the part number is already on the sticker of the GPU. Gd luck.

MOVED: MSI 280X Gaming OC 1050 / 1500 New EFI GOP BIOS

This topic has been moved to BETA & MOD BIOS Section.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254187.0

Well, I crossflashed my 7970 TFIII OC to the 280X Gaming OC.
The card is cooler and runs faster, except for the "idle" bug, there is no other issue.
Maybe this BIOS would fix the idle bug, so I don't have to use the Gaming App.
Only problem with that BIOS is that it is old, from 2013., and does not support the GOP.

280x BIOS

Hi, I'm new here.
I just purchased 2x MSI 280x and based upon some reviews I read that I need to update to the latest bios.
I'm a bit confused as to what updating to newer bios does? what program should I be using?
also, separate question.
Will 750 watt PSU be enough for 280x crossfire?

750W means nothing. Important are the amps on +12v. A system with one R9-280X requires 30A and a 550W psu minimum. If wanting to crossfire two the psu should at least offer 50A minimum. 60A would be safer in maximum load situations (NOT considering oc). A quality 750W psu like Corsair TX750 offers 60A on +12v. To have some headroom more is better. I'd go for Corsair GS800 (65A) or similar/better psu.
