R7870-2GD5T/OC fan issue, help

Sorry it there is a similar topic, just bought the card the other day and noticed that when the temp rises above 55C the fan speed goes to 100% no mater what I define in Afterburner or CCC. I took it to the store where I bought it, and after couple of days they replaced it and as far as I can see it is the same situation, I cannot control fans no matter what I try. The guy in the store said that this is normal, just to get rid of me off course. Is there any way to control the fans, maybe a new bios which I cannot find anywhere. Someone please help

ask msi about it >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • R7870-2GD5T/OC fan constant stop and start in idle

    Hello,
    I have an R7870-2GD5T/OC and I have the following problem with it:
    When the Windows7 turn off the screen after x minutes idle time, the VGA card cool off, and turn off the fans completely. However, 0,5 seconds after the turning off he realize the card is too hot, and turning back the fans. However, after 2 seconds he realize the card is cool off and turn off the fans completely. So on.
    This continues until the computer goin' to sleep, or the screen turn back.
    The problem is the noise. The spinning fans are ok, the stopped fans are ok too, but this constant stopping-starting make a noise like boyracers at the red sign, very annoying.
    I installed the MSI softwares, first checked the firmware update, but there is no update for the firmware. I tried to set the fan speed with the Afterburner software, and set to manually to keep the fans in working even at minimum temperature, but is didn't help. When the screen turn off, the VGA card goin to mad.
    There is any solution for this? (behind the workaround to never turn off the screen)
    This is an Intel i5 config, with 64 bit windows7.
    Thank you.

    As GPUs can operate at quite high temps, have you tried setting your min fan speed, i.e. where the fans stop spinning to be maintained up to 60C and only then start increasing the fan speed from there?
    What kind of other ventilation have you got in your machine? Have you got a fan on the side panel that can blow onto the GPU?
    Does your GPU not have a switch to toggle between normal and LN2 settings?
    If all fails, ask MSI technical if they have a different VBIOS for your card that prevents the fans from stopping at all.

  • R7870-2GD5T/OC Fan problem

    Hi,
    i have problem when under load, the fans spin up to 4000+ rpm, even though the temperature sits around 50. Is there any newer BIOS for my card?
    s/n: 602-V274-090B1211080166
    BIOS version: 015.021.000.000.000838 (113-C4010200-X02)

  • MSI R7870 2GD5T/OC Uncontrollable/Loud Fan

    Hi,
    Yesterday I purchased an R7870 2GD5T/OC from a local retailer. I installed it and everything seemed fine, until I started gaming. Under load, the fans spin up to 4000+ rpm, even though the temperature sits around 50-55 degrees. It's incredibly loud and I'm afraid of wearing the fans down quickly.
    I tried using Afterburner and CCC to manually adjust the fan speed. This works when the card is idling; however under load the card ignores all settings and hits 4000+ rpm. And while the tachometer in Afterburner shows the card spinning at 4000+ rpm, the Fan speed still indicates it at 40% speed (or anything I change it to).
    I have so far re-installed drivers (with drivesweeper), rolled back drivers, re-installed Afterburner, and tested the card in another system. The problem persists, and there seems to be nothing I can do. I also tried running an old 6850 on my system, which runs fine, so I'm sure the software is not an issue.
    As suggested in another thread, the problem might be caused by something in the BIOS. I have already flashed the BIOS once, however the problem still exists.
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

    And yes, I did try the card in another system, and the same problem occurred - The fan would speed up to full, and become uncontrollable under load.

    This is what Afterburner shows when the card is under load.

  • MSI R7870 2GD5T/OC i cant control fan

    hi i buy radeon MSI R7870 2GD5T/OC,when i play games gpu fan speed is 35% and 3500 RPM+ 57 celsia max, trixx CCC and afterburner dont work,only in idle mode. any idea to fix ? or card is damaged? srry for my english,i am from czech republic.  same  problem  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165740.0

    Sugggestion on other thread was rma. If you configured everything right for manual fan control with Afterburner (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) and that won't work the controller is properly indeed faulty.

  • More Heat/Fan Issues with Tiger--Help

    I have followed the heat & fan issues for sometime. However, I finally decided it was time to move from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3.
    I upgraded yesterday, first using the upgrade option to move from 10.3.9 to 10.4.0 and then installed the 10.4.3 combo upgrade. I've repaired permissions and rebuilt the disk directory using Disk Warrior. There were no directory errors and only a couple of trivial permissions changes.
    However, my Powerbook's fans are running constantly and my CPU heat is always pegged at about 135 degrees F, which is as hot as it ever gets. This happens within about 40 minutes of starting the Powerbook up cold and it stays that way for as long as I'm using it, regardless if there are any apps being used.
    Activity Monitor indicates that the launchd process is using from 18% to 20% of my CPU, even with nothing else running. I've disabled all Spotlight indexing and I've turned Dashboard off. It appears that it's the lanchd process that is accounting for the extra heat and fan use. It simply won't drop below the 18% to 20% of CPU. There is no other process that is using any significant amount of my CPU when nothing else is running.
    My processor is set at Automatic, the same as when I was using 10.3.9.
    I was using Silk, Application Switching Menu (ASM) and Macaroni, but I've uninstalled them. No change.
    I've reset the Power Manager (including deleting the com.Apple.PowerManagement.xml file) and reset NVRAM. Again, no change.
    Finally, when I boot back into 10.3.9 (on my backup hard drive), the fan activity and heat return to what I consider normal--much lower than with 10.4.3. Specifically, the heat and fan activity is directly related to CPU use. If I'm not doing anything, the heat drops and all the fans go off.
    There is one other curious effect of 10.4.3 vs. 10.3.9. When I'm running Firefox (latest version), all Firefox user-interface stuff (menu selections, opening many tabs in succession, etc.) are MUCH more sluggish than when using 10.3.9. Frankly, I was expecting the opposite.
    I would really like some help with this. I've read all the troubleshooing info on MacFixit and Macintouch related to heat and fan issues associated with Tiger.
    12 1.5Ghz Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I'm the originator of this thread and I appear to have an answer.
    I tried an "Archive and Install" of Tiger, on top of my existing 10.4.3 install that was giving me the trouble I described above. I had the time today and figured "what the heck[ll]".
    I then installed each additional piece (10.4.3 combo update, airport updates, quicktime updates, java updates, etc), stopping after each one to check CPU temperatures and CPU use in Activity Monitor.
    I'm now back to a full 10.4.3 install, with all current recommended Apple software and I don't have the heat/CPU use problems I previously had. There is no significant use of the CPU by the launchd process.
    I also re-enabled Spotlight indexing and that doesn't cause a problem either.
    Also, my entire system is *MUCH* quicker and responsive. I wish I knew what piece in my previous system install was causing the problem, but hopefully my experience can help someone else. When in doubt, do an "Achive and Install" rather than an update to the previous system installation.
    By the way, with heavy Spotlight indexing going on and mild web browsing, my CPU temp is just 112 to 115 degrees F. Previously, with no Spotlight indexing and with NO apps running, my CPU temp was maxed at 135 degrees with fans on full. And if you're reading this thread, you know what max fans sound like on a 12" PB.

  • G5 Unusual Fan Issue - Need Help

    While I have read much about the G5 fan issues, I haven't found anything that matches mine.
    This is a 1.8Ghz DP running OS 10.4.9 and it is really noisy due to the 2 drive bay fans running at top speed.
    All other fans run properly and respond to the air deflector removal (also checked using iStat Pro)
    Apple hardware diagnostics check out fine with everything passing and ambient temperature of the drive area is fine (90 or so degrees)as well.
    I understand that the drive temperature sensor controls the speed, but typically the issue has been the other way around. Would unplugging the sensor for testing hurt the logic board? Could the fan be bad? How about the FCU? the other fans seem to work as advertised.
    From the sounds of it, the Thermal calibration wouldn't be needed.
    Does have anybody any idea of how to correct this or can the FCU be reset? I did reset the PMU several times.
    Thanks

    Strangely enough, the answer to the problem was that the rpm controls in both the fan and the blower of the media bay were damaged. Power spike?
    While they are difficult to come by (they can't be purchased separately as they are part of the enclosure assembly) they are certainly cheaper than a logic board.
    Btw, if anyone else has a similar issue, the media blower is the only truly unique part. The media fan is the same as the fan in the speaker/fan assembly which can be easily found.

  • MBPr Fan issue

    Hello,
    I bought a macBook Pro Retina and have been experiencing some issues with the fan.I saw a lots of thread talking about fan issues but not sure if a solution has been found.
    Problem : I can be just browsing the web or checking emails or playing music through iTunes, and the fans will spin up to full speed for a minute or so, and then return to normal. (low CPU usage et low temperature < 40°c)
    Configuration : MBPr mid 2012 - i7 2.3ghz / 8GO Ram / 256GO SSD Samsung.
    I have run all updates available for my machine.I ve tried the smc & pram reset.
    Is there any solution ? Should I go to an apple store ?
    Thanks

    Can only help.
    You can also run an Apple Hardware test to see if ant problems are discovered.  Do not assume that a no-error result is definitive.

  • Fan issues galore

    So (i'm not sure of the name of the fan) the fan that is on the face of the tower with the internal speaker attached to it...went nuts and I could not get it to stop. I was told to change out the PRAM battery. I did that. Still an issue. I was told to do a clean install of leopard. Did it. Still didn't solve the problem. Out of frustration, I unplugged that fan from the motherboard and now my hard drive fan is going nuts. All of my temps are normal, nothing above 50 degrees F. Do I just need a new fan or is there something i'm missing?

    I was having fan speed issues and reinstalling the drivers for my graphics card (ATI x1900 and ATI Display utility) and restarting has apparently fixed it. I had noticed my OpenGL graphics weren't running properly and the 'Flurry' screen saver was choppy, as well as issues with DVD playback (error -70017). I was trying to fix those problems and it ended up solving them and the fan issue as well.
    So maybe try reinstalling your graphics drivers and rebooting. Might be worth a try. Hope this helps.

  • For anyone with newer imac fan issues.

    I posted about a week ago asking for advice on my fan issue.
    I was getting istat readings of 2500 - 3000 - 3500 (max has been 3850) rpms from nothing more than being on the internet. The computer is 2 months old and prior to having the computer worked on for an unrelated issue I had never once heard the fans kick on.
    But now my computer sounds like an airplane trying to take off - all the time.
    So, with another visit to the apple store, support-line calls and a visit to an outside apple authorized service provider - I am here to tell anyone in the same boat, that having your fans blow LOUDLY, and ALL the time is perfectly "within spec."
    I'm using it right now. Only safari is open and it sounds like monsoon season with a nice consistent rpm of 2700.
    I am certainly frustrated but did want to share this follow up with anyone that's discouraged with their fans since I know when I first ran into the issue I scoured the forums for info.
    Are they loud - you betcha!
    Are they annoying - **** right!
    Do they interfere with music and video - oh boy do they!
    Does it sound like they computer is deathly ill - absolutely!
    Is it all 'within spec' - yes, sadly it is.
    I don't see anything else I can do at this point.

    @den.thed
    I actually have that app. already. Its where Ive been getting all my crazy fan readings from.
    The temp sensors I havent paid attention to though - which are the temp. sensors and what is abnormal?
    Last time I took the computer into the mac genius(the 3rd time) - they just told me everything was fine and didnt even look at it! Then I was told by Apple Support to go to an outside service provider who also said there wasnt a problem. I had 50 screenshots of the fan at 3000+ speeds and they didnt seem concerned.
    Overall I guess what im getting at is - even if it appears that there's a problem I dont even know what I can say to these people anymore!!! No matter what I say, Im told that the computer is fine. Its by far the most frustrating product/purchase problem Ive ever dealt with.
    thanks for help so far though.
    Anyone know how much I can recoup by parting the thing out?

  • GT70 2PC Dominator Fan issue

    Well, I purchased a GT70 2PC-1631NL laptop 2 weeks ago and I'm having an fan issue. It appearently is constantly cycling on and off every 10 seconds or so, while Dragon Gaming Center reports that the Fan RPM is 0. I also noticed the Temperature of the cpu in Dragon Gaming Center to fluctuate randomly and very inconsistent between 30 and 45 Degrees Celcius.
    THis Fan spinning issue happens several seconds after starting up the laptop and even happens in the BIOS menu and it is very annoying. Updated all the drivers, reinstalled Dragon Gaming Center and ECM but nothing seemed to help.
    Anyone else experienced anything like this before?

    Didn't try that, but considering it happens when the laptop is in BIOS mode, I doubt it is software related. So I already got it packed and sending it of on an RMA to Poland tomorrow. (I'm lazy when it comes to fixing my own stuff, when it is this new :p)
    Just wondered if anyone had experienced anything like it.

  • GTX 970 Gaming 4G 100% Fan Issue

    I just purchased a new GTX 970 Gaming 4G and I am having the 100% fan issue that I have been reading about. Is there an easy fix for this or do I need to flash the bios on this card. I am a newbie and any help to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    or just flash directly to the latest vbios version .186:

  • [Solved] GE60 OND GPU fan issue

    Please, for the love of anything holy, someone help me get this fixed, it's making me lose my mind.
    Like dozens upon dozens of other people, I have the fan issue where it stops and speeds up every 10 seconds or so. The only time it doesn't do this is if I hit the fan button for 100% fan or if I start up a game that requires the fan to be used. If that's not happening, it's silence followed by a speed-up followed by silence, repeat. It's making me go insane.
    I flashed my bios to the latest version.
    I can NOT flash the EC firmware and the instructions on MSI support tell me to do something that doesn't exist. The zip I download has 3 files, none of which do anything. The win flash file doesn't exist. I contacted MSI support and just get automated crap responses.
    I tried downloading MSI afterburner but naturally, the bios doesn't allow for fan adjustment. Thanks MSI!
    If anyone has any idea on how to make this stop, please, please, please help me out. I've seen the youtube video with 16,000 views of the guy having the same problem so I'm not alone. I just use Windows 8 so the fixes don't seem to apply. Thanks ahead of time. I'm currently in Afghanistan so I'm probably 12 hours ahead of most people here but I'll keep checking this thread looking for answers. I appreciate it.

    Followed the instructions with the DOS flash for EC firmware. The computer has now been running for 10 minutes without WRRRRRRRR........WRRRRRRRRRR.........WR RRRRRRRRRR.
    It's amazing so far, I hope it lasts. It's peace on my ears and sanity and, hopefully, I won't have to shut down the computer every time I leave the room in fear the fan will rattle out of control again and break something. On another note, have you guys talked to MSI about putting those instructions right on their EC firmware support page instead of the WRONG instructions they have listed right now?
    Also, the fan controls that Syre had still won't download. (hopefully not needed anymore) Maybe it's an issue with the internet here but it always cuts off about 2/3 of the way into it.
    Thanks for the help everyone. I'll be back bitching/moaning if the problem starts up again but hopefully that won't happen.

  • Fan Issue? Can't tell if it is working?

    I have a fan issue. While playing WoW I realized I started to get issues with my game and I would get a brief 1 to 2 second long lag every 5 seconds. Then I realized my computer was relatively hot, but I couldn't be sure as I've had this issue with WoW before and overheating was the problem as my fan turned out to be broken, so I may have just been being paranoid. However, I cannot tell if my fan is even running at the moment to know if it is working. Any help?

    2000 RPM is the default speed for unibody MBP fans, which run all the time. When the fan(s) is/are working properly at that speed it's inaudible, except in a dead-silent room with one's head close to the machine. Even then, a slightly noisier than average hard drive will drown out the extremely soft whir of the fan(s).
    13" MBPs have one fan; 15" and 17" machines have two, which normally operate at the same speeds.
    Your fan or fans should speed up by the time the CPU temperature reaches about 180-185°F, if not a little before then. If the CPU temp reaches 190°F and stays there instead of cooling back down to below 180°F, you should suspect a cooling system problem. Before the CPU temp reaches 221°F, which should never happen, the machine will shut down or sleep for its own protection.
    Expect fan speeds to hold at about 2000RPM at least until the CPU temp reaches 170°F. That's perfectly normal and no cause for concern.

  • R7870-2GD5T/OC BIOS request

    Hi
    I've purchased a R7870-2GD5T/OC video card with serial number 602-V274-090B1303059708.
    I've been having problems using the card on a gigabyte B75M-D3H. motherboard. All other cards I've tried (5450, 6870, 7970) worked fine on the board, but the 7870 produces no video output. I cannot even go into the MB BIOS. I've updated the MB bios, but it hasn't helped.
    I've tried using the MSI live update tool to update the graphics card's bios, but the tool doesn't display properly. I've since downloaded a bios from another user with the same card and used the ATI flash utiliy to change the BIOS. With this BIOS I at least get video, but my PC crashes before windows completely boots. I'm guessing I loaded an incompatible BIOS, and in hindsight I realise this wasn't a very smart thing to do...
    Where can I find a compatible BIOS for this card? I  no longer have the original BIOS.
    Thanks in advance
