Noisy Fan on MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II

Hi Everyone, I am a new user to this forum so I am sorry if this is the wrong section to post this question. I didn't see a section devoted to hardware issues.
The fan closest to the vent on my MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II is now making a low hum. There is no obstruction so I think it is just the fan wearing itself out. The card is about 1.5 year old. I think the warranty is 2 years. But I am not familiar with the process. Is this covered under warranty? or is this considered normal wear and tear?
Thanks for any help.

depend, if there is a physical damage, the warranty will be void.
can be performed paid repair instead

MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II SLi Game Crashing

I bought 2 of these cards in my new system and installed the 266.58 drivers and I haven't had them work properly yet as they always seem to crash somewhere between a few seconds and 5 minutes into a game. Games include Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Just Cause 2, Metro 2033 (DX11), AVP (DX11) and Dirt 2 (DX11). I have been tearing my hair out trying to work out what the problem is. I am guessing voltage but am not sure. I have downloaded Afterburner 2.1 Beta 7 and it seems to set the cards to 822,1645, 2138 and 1.05v. I also uninstalled the newest drivers and did drier sweeper and installed 263.09 and have exactly the same problem. Svet do you have any idea on what I could try ? Many thanks in advance...

Ok so I played JC2 for about an hour and Crysis Warhead for about 30 mins and no crashes. I did experience some lag - noticable in parts of Warhead where the frames dropped considerably. Neither game was butter smooth. I am gaming at 2560x1600 with everything to the max. So do you suggest I test the other card now or is there something I can do to improve the performance of this one ? Thanks again for all your help Svet.
That one is working well then.

apply latest drivers from nvidia , apply latest games patches
this is not vga problem

I have also played through Metro 2033 for a while and no crashes there either. I will test the other card tomorrow by itself when I get some time.
yes, test the second one now [also alone], with the same tests

MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC BSOD crash under low load.

MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V LE LGA 1155
Windows 7 Professional 64
Basically my computer gets a BSOD whenever it's under low load. Like just using an internet browser or word processing program.
Even if I just turn my computer on and leave it on the desktop it will just BSOD.
It never crashes when I am playing a video game. In fact in order to keep my system running without a BSOD I run a game in the background so it won't crash when I browsing.
I took out the card and I have not had any issues. So I thinking perhaps this might be a weird issue with the LucidLogix Virtu (Universal Switchable Graphics) - Auto Switching between Integrated Graphics and the Card.
The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000041790, 0xfffffa8004637a90, 0x000000000000ffff, 0x0000000000000000).

Which Nvidia drivers and which browser are you using ? >>Posting Guide<<
If you look on the NVidia Forum, you will see that this is quite a common complaint from numerous users and not particular to any specific manufacturers card. For some, drivers solve the issue, others a slight increase in core voltage solves the issue.
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=215256&hl=browser crash&st=0
I can suggest that you use Afterburner and test the card at stock 772 MHz core to see if it does the same. Then test the card at its factory clock and increase the GPU core voltage by about 30 - 50 milli Amp. See if any of those solves your problem. What are your temps like ?

You have to..,
800MHz, 4096MHz are the right clocks for your card and not 822...4276

It will be still OC-ed, stock/reference clocks are 772MHz,4008MHz,
while you will have 800MHz, 4096MHz as OC version

N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC Stability Issues

Hello! I've recently purchased an MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC and I'm having the much talked about stability issues (CTD, black screens etc.). From what I've read it seems like the best solution is to tweak the voltage in Afterburner until you find a stable solution and then after thorough testing, request a custom BIOS flash.
Is this the best way to go? I'm presently at work so I can't actually get started right away but I'd like to have a game plan in hand for when I get home tonight. Currently my card clock settings should be what they were out of the box although I've also read that some cards didn't come over clocked so what it says on the box might not be exactly what it's running at. I can look up the various card details this evening if it's necessary.
Also I'm not super concerned if I had to down clock or if the card didn't come over clocked. I just want to get it running stably

MSI HD7950(twin frozr) 100% fan speed .. anymore solutions

Hi guys
i purchased a msi HD7950 twin frozr from ebay however it runs at 100% all of the time and no software can tame it ... ive also followed the guide and removed the faulty D201 diode which also never worked as the card still runs at 100% ( speedfan reports 4000rpm )
so apart from the faulty diode and using software is there anything else i can do .... ?
i was considering strapping 2 x 120mm fans to the card powered directly from the psu and a 3rd party gpu cooler ( such as the arctic cooling range ) also came to mind allthough these tend to be expensive
i also considered a fan limiter i got with a previous 3rd party gpu cooler .... if i reduced the fan speed power from 12v to 7v would this make any difference ?
many thanks

Well at what temp does the gpu/ram/vrms run at? Check with Afterburner: >>How to use MSI Afterburner<<

Random freeze on boot with MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with my MSI R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC PCIe graphics card. Sometimes, on boot (before getting to BIOS, I guess during GFX BIOS, if that's a thing anymore in the computing world) the GPU fans will spin at a considerable speed (noisy, I'd say 70-100%) and the system will refuse to boot. I could reproduce this around 5 to 6 times, and always during cold boots. After this happens, rebooting or powering off and on will not work, I'll need to cut off all power (PSU switch) and cold-boot again.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

can you list full system specifications? read >>Posting Guide<<

Fan noise: GTX 580 twin frozr

Hi!
I have the following graphics card: http://se.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Twin-Frozr-II.html
The fan at the bottom or farthest apart from the connectors makes a lot of noise especially from the center of that fan. The other fan keeps quite as I expect it to be.
Is this a known issue? how can I fix this problem?
It is not sitting loose so that is not the problem. Seems to be the fan itself that is not in prime shape. How can I get a new one? MSI's support doesn't seem to answer and now I cant even submit a new ticket.
best regards
Andreas

you have to rma the card to get repair

MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Random Crashes

Hello,
I have had an MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II video card for the past year, and it has been operating without problems for most of that time. I have been slowly upgrading my computer over past 5 years, but keeping the same motherboard and CPU. A few months ago I started having issues with it:
While playing video games or browsing the internet the video drivers crash and recover after a few seconds at random times, approximately once every half an hour. 30% of the time, the card crashes and doesn't recover at all, with a black screen, prompting a restart of the system.
Last month I have rebuilt my PC: kept the same the video card, 750W power supply (both 1 year old) and all my hard drives. I reinstalled the same version of Windows 7. I made sure to take precautions against static in the process. However the problem persists.
Because I have my power button set to a restart, I am able to have the computer perform a soft reboot every time when the screen goes black, rather than forcing a hard reset, so to me this means the new CPU, Motherboard and RAM are working OK. Also on occasion switching my monitor cable between the two DVI outputs brings the image back.
Here are some of the other things I have tried so far unsuccessfully:
Updating the motherboard and bios drivers to the latest version
Using a tool to delete and reinstall latest ATI drivers (12.9)
Using ATI beta drivers (12.11b)
Using both windows and 3rd party memory check tools (both came back OK)
Changing RAM settings from 1600 to 1333.
Underclocking the video card (although it runs pretty cold and I have a dedicated fan installed right underneath it).
I will welcome any other suggestions.
Thank you in advance,

Here is an update on my situation:
I went out a bought a new PSU, Antec HCG-620M, but the problem didn't go away. I'm still trying to keep up with the latest drivers. However most games that require high performance (i.e. Witcher 2 out of the older, more stable games) remain unplayable due to fairly regular random video card crashes. Older games with lower specs play fine though. I have also been running SpeedFan in the background and have seen an occasional spikes in the video card's operating temperatures (as high as 81C) but crashes occur at any temperature.
Help would still be appreciated.
Thanks,

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC "No Signal"?

Hi guys!
I've just bought the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC, but my monitor dosent recieve any signal at all. Both power cables are plugged in, and my PSU should be big enough to manage it.
The slot works fine with my old card, a HD 5450, so is my card faulty?
Win 7 32 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M USB3 rev 2.0
Proccesor: Intel Core i5 2.80
PSU: OCZ600MXSP 600W
Memory: 4GB

The card has two power cables, which both are plugged in. If not, a red LED lights up in the card.
I've just removed the power cable form the mobo and removed the battery from the mobo to do a clear CMOS, but unfortunately with the same results. The fans are running, but my screens says "No Cable" and goes completely black

SLI between N580 lightning and N580GTX TWIN FROZR III 15D5 POWER EDITION/OC

Hi,
I am gonna upgrade to a 30 inch monitor and run a resolution beyond FullHD and this will require some potent GPU calculation power!
I already have a MSI N580GTX Lightning edition for a long time now but this card is nowhere to found anymore these days, however the N580GTX TWIN FROZR III 15D5 POWER EDITION/OC is the follow up card of the lightning extreme edition.
Will this SLI setup work between these 2 cards?
The Power edition look like a re-branded variant of the lightning, even the specs are the same (its down clocked a few steps though)
Please only advise if you are certain, it would be a waste of my money if this SLI will not work!
With kind regards,
Rick

Quote from: stigma on 06-May-12, 01:06:19
no its the first (non extreme) edition
Btw i edited my earlier post with links and more comment...
Aha, it should be not a problem to work together then.
Quote
The only differences i can find is the P4 hardware (seperate fases) in the Lightning....so basicly they ARE the same but.....the Power edition would most likely overclock less then the lightning...?
Those are cards features, they are not related to SLI support

N580GTX Twin Frozr II Instability

Hi Svet. I recently purchased a N580GTX Twin Frozr II but it was crashing in 3dmark 11 and stress tests like other people here. I RMA'd it and the replacement I received can run 3dmark fine, but it still gives a few errors in occt gpu test. But when I increase voltage from 1000 to 1013 in afterburner (using stock hardware oc setting) I don't get any errors at all. So, can you please provide me a bios for my card with voltage at 1013? My SN is 602-V255-01SB1101009362. Thanks

Quote from: nachos on 22-February-11, 08:24:10
Hi Svet. I didn't actually apply the bios yet but I was having a look at it in Nibitor. My current bios (twin frozr) has 800mhz core speed and 4096 memory, but the one you sent me looks like 822/4276. Is this the right bios for me? It appears to have clock speeds from the other MSI GTX 580 OC (non twin frozr). Thanks.
Based on the SN yes its correct.
see here as well, same BOM numbers:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145780.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145747.0
Others with the same 602-V255-01S are using the same BIOS.
sent me yours to take a look, [check PM]
You may use outdated, or newest VBIOS
