R6950 Twin Frozr III 2gb Problem

Hi guys, got a problem with one of my cards that is in Crossfire..
Setup - i7 920, 20gb Gskill DDR3 1600mhz, Asus P6T Deluxe, Corsair AX950w 80+, 2 x  R6950 Twin Frozr III 2gb Catalyst 12.3
Problem - These card's have been fine for around 6 months working in crosfire. Last couple of days defects have started to appear and now one of the card fails to be reckognized. I have taken out the card and tried it in another system and the system wont even post. I have tried switching the fan profile to see if this helps but still no post. 1st card is working perfectly in my main system and other systems I have.
Even bigger Problem - The shop where I have purchased the cards "SELEXIUM" last year is now bankrupt. Here is the article http://www.societe.com/societe/sarl-nextware-504241654.html
So I really dont know what to do, I have logged a ticket with msi to see if they can help..
Does anybody have experiance with MSI and returning cards directly to them in Europe ? Will they accept a RMA from a End User ?

for europe, its only via reseller.
contact near MSI office and explain the situation.

  • [Tech Help Needed] GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC Fan Stops Working

    Hello everyone.
    It's extremely rare for me to have computer issues, but this time it happened.
    MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC, and here's the issue:
    Whenever i turn on the computer the gpu fans spin for around 5seconds and after that they stop, for now they seem fine since i'm usually idling for the 1st 30minutes or so, but when i start playing games the gpu temperatures skyrocket to around 60-70 idling  in-game and the fans just won't start working, yes the the psu cables are connected to the gpu, bla bla ( duh ). i've had the gpu for around 2years and it worked fine but all of a "sudden" the fans just seem to not work and it starts getting very high temperatures, i've read someone complaining about the same issue and he was told to replace his gpu bios with some uefi bios and he said that the uefi update solved his fan issues which were the same as mine.
    Now my problem is, i've never done that "Bios Flashing" and things like that and i don't know if my Board is compatible. If it worked for that person then it should work for me since the symptoms are literally the same. I've tried uninstalling the gpu drivers completely and installed again, the issue still persists.
    If it's of any reference i own the following setup:
    MB : ROG Asus Crosshair IV Formula
    CPU : AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE
    GPU : MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB SC
    RAM : 2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaw X 1600Mhz
    PSU: Corsair GS 700 Gaming Series ( yes its more than enough and good enough )
    I've literally had no problems whatsoever with my system for a few years now, and just like that the fans don't want to work, i can play games and what not, but at around 70ºC with no fans running ..... i've tried using MSI Afterburner to boost the fan speed, the fan speed setting gets set but the rpm stays at 0. i also made it to run on windows start and its still at 0 RPM.
    Will the uefi bios solve my problem like it did to the other person with the exact same issue?
    Thank you for your time spent reading, hopefully it will be solved.

    Still no reply after 2 days, impressive support right there ... every other post that came after got replied ...
    Anyway, if its also relevant about my issue :
    - Fans briefly spin after i press the power button to turn on my computer and stop right after around 3-5s and never spin again until i shutdown and power on again for the same brief spin.
    - If i force the fans on Afterburner to 90% or above ( 100% ) they spin and make unsupportable noise.
    Also if its of any relevance :
    N660 TF 2GD5/OC
    S/N: 602 - V287 - 050B1302044857
    At least provide me with the most up-to-date uefi/gop vbios or whatever that is, to see if it fixes my problem, otherwise recommend me a substitute cooling system that i can use ( a good one, not 3rd rated ) to replace the stock cooling in this because i don't have the money to get another card, and if i get one it won't be from msi for sure.
    Very dissapointed.

  • R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC goes to full power when in idle

    My R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC acts normally, when i use the PC. When it goes to idle, the card heats up and turns the speed to 100%. When i remove the drivers there's no problem. I've tried with the different drivers there and on the AMD page.

    I was previously using the radeon 5770 from sapphire that i got last year and wanted something beefier. Unfortunately my case is the only one large enough to have room for this card.

    It can PSU fault or driver issue, or VGA failure
    Remove current VGA drivers with >>Driver Sweeper<< in Safe Mode
    then install drivers from msi web for your card, then see how its goes

  • 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 

  • Two displays for MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC graphics card ?

    Is it possible to have two displays simultaneously connected to this graphics card:
    http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6950-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Overview
    The card has two DVI-outputs "DVI Output: 2 (Single-Link DVI-D x1, Dual-Link DVI-I x1)".  I can use one display at a time and the second display only shows "No signal" error. I would like to use two displays when playing PC games, is it possible with this craphics card? Both my displays have VGA connector cables, and they are connected to the card with an VGA/DVI adapter.

    what monitors you are using and what resolutions you're trying to use?
    Both monitors are old models: 1) Panasonic PanaFlat PF90 2) acer AL 707.
    I'm not sure what resolution I was using on acer when I tried to connect both monitors, but now I'm using PanaFLat with 1280 x 1024. Maybe I should try to set them both on 1024 x 768 and try again.

  • MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE strange heat issue!

    Hi guys,yesterday i've decided to upgrade my PC with brand new Sandy Bridge configuration,but after the first boot i've had a very unpleasant surprize with my VGA card .Right after power on my PC everything went good,display was on and showing the Bios Setup screen,but after 30-40 seconds my the VGA fans started to spin at full speed and restarted the system but after that my 40" lcd display was only showing  "no signal detected" .From this point i've tried everything to get my system going,i've disabled the onboard VGA,swapped RAM modules,toggle every PCI and PCI-E add-on cards,bios reset but the issue was still there.
    A couple of times i've managed to get into Windows OS but after 10 second the PC restarted again.I'm not really sure what's the issue here but i do noticed that after 10 second from boot the VGA card is getting very hot (can touch it only for 1 second) but only in the area near the power connectors,next to the capacitors...
    Here's my configuration:
    - CPU: Intel i5 2500K
    - MoBo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
    - RAM: Corsaire Vengence 8GB (2x4GB) DDR 1866
    - PSU: Enermax Liberty 620 W
    - VGA: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE
    - Case: Cooler Master HAF-X
    BTW,my old MSI Radeon HD4870 is working with the above configuration and i also tested the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE on 3 different PCs same had same issue,so if you guys have any idea about this issue please post here.

    Yeah,i've already compiled the RMA form with the retailer but it doesn't have this VGA in stock anymore.I really hope it won't need months for the RMA procedure.

  • R6950 Twin FROZR III Fan Replacement

    Simple question, Where can I buy a replacement fans for this card?  One of the fans has 2 broken fins and the other is not spinning @ full speed so I get vibration from one and the other can't cool enough.

    dunno if r6950 Twin FROZR III has reference PCB or not,
    you can ask msi at: >>How to contact MSI.<<
    About the aftermarket cooler, you should ask the aftermarket cooler company, they should have compatibility list

  • 6950 Twin Frozr III PE problem

    Such a problem. The video card 6950 Twin Frozr III PE 2 GB when you change the settings in CCC artifacts appear and the system hangs after a few seconds. On the Russian forum one of the users have described this problem, but got no reply.
    Except for problems with the ССС, graphics card behaves quite adequately.
    To my letter to AMD told me that I did not reference card and I need to communicate with the manufacturer. Cards from Asus, Sapphire on this system works without problems. I changed the driver 11.6-11.9, reinstalled Windows, it does not help.
      Asus P8H67-M LX / Core i5-2400 / Samsung DDR3 1333 2x2 Gb / Chieftec CFT-650-14CS / Win 7 x64 max (original OEM). Graphics Card 6950 Twin Frozr III PE 2 Gb
    Sorry for the bad English.

    I turned off the automatic fan control, set it at 80% to estimate the maximum noise also changed the Ai settings. In both cases, once the artifacts, in 2-3 seconds, the system hung. Drivers - catalist 11.9. On the disk driver is too old.

  • R6950 Twin Frozr III Issue

    Ok, brand new build P8P67 Pro (Rev 3) initially boots up fine and I install windows. The next day I get no output to monitor with my MSI 6950 Twin Frozr III, also motherboard is beeping to indicate no VGA detected. Put it in second PCI-E slot and bingo, it works but it's at 8x.
    Presume mobo faulty, got an MSI Z68A GD65, I get the exact same problem, won't show anything in primary slot but will run fine in secondary at 8x.
    I really don't understand what the problem could be if not the graphics card in this case.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Rest of the spec:
    i5 2600k (stock speed)
    Corsair TX 650,
    Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz.

    reseat the card into the slot and ensure that's filled very well into the PCI-E slot
    also ensure that all power cables are connected to the VGA.

  • 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB multiple VGA monitors?

    Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to attach more than one VGA monitor to this graphics card.
    In my previous card (570 MSI Twin Frozr) I could plug both in via DVI adapters but the second DVI port does not work on this card (I believe because it is DVI-D not DVI-I) and I cannot find a suitable adapter to make the VGA work with this port or any of the other ports on this card (display port, hdmi).
    Does anyone here have any suggestions how I can plug in a second VGA monitor in to this card's ports? If not I may have to go back to my 570 which I would rather not.
    Thanks

    Thanks guys, for some reason I thought it was impossible for the other ports to display non-digital signal! I'll look for a displayport to vga adapter on amazon now.
    Thanks again.

    Greetings,
    The stock specs for this card are;
    Core: 850 Mhz
    Memory: 1300 Mhz
    I did manage to unlock the card to 6970 and unlocked shaders.
    Can I put the core to 880 Mhz and 1375 Mhz for memory (these are stock specs for standard 6970).
    Regards,
