Re: Just bought the MSI GTX 970 4G

Thank you very much.

Quote from: Nichrome on Yesterday at 21:32:01I dont know why it doesnt work fine, but according to the spec, you can use PCI_E5 @x16 if PCI_E3 is empty.
I have tried that, that doesn't work.

  • Will I recieve Witcher 3 and Batman: AK if i buy the MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4g

    Ill be buying the card here in Croatia so Im wondering if Im gonna get the free games, because Nvidia said everyone who buys an Nvidia GTX 970 will recieve those 2 games.

    Usually its the shops/retailers that supply the game bungle not the manufacturer of a product so call the place you are planing to buy one from and ask them!
    from the Promotion "And from now until June 1st, you can get The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Batman: Arkham Knight for free when purchasing one of these graphics cards from participating e-tailers and retailers."

  • Just bought a msi gtx 750 ti OC edition.when installed wont boot,ends in black screen and curser

    As stated in the title,i bought a gtx 750 ti.
    N750Ti-2GD5/OC
    The machine had a gt 620 in it,and runs great with it in.When i install the gtx 750 ti though,the system boot hangs on a black screen with underscore/curser,and a single beep.
    The system is an h8 1203,with a 460 power supply.
    I also have a gts 250,which also installs and works fine.Ive read a bit,and there is some problem with this card and the hp system ?something about bios type ? I couldnt quite follow what was being said.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    If you upgrade to Windows 8 (install in UEFI mode) and apply the posted BIOS update then you should be able to get to video card to work.
    Be sure to create a set of the external HP recovery media before installing a new operating system.

  • MSI GTX 970 4GD5T OC

    Hi. I just bought another msi gtx 970 4gd5t oc and have been using them in sli. I noticed that the max core clock for both cards is now 1291 mhz in games. when it was just one it was 1329. Also i checked the bios in msi live update on the new one and it is nv316mh.191 but when i scan for updates it doesnt show up for any new ones. the old msi gtx 970 4gd5t oc bios is nv316mh.192 .  i remember there was a bios update for it when i first got it in live update.
    can i update the bios manually to nv316mh.192 somehow? and would it void my warranty?

    do not update the other with the VBIOS of your other card as you will run the risk of bricking it as tiny number differences usually signify that the 2 cards have different VRAM chips that required a different profile on each! if you flashed the higher number one onto the other you have a 50/50 chance of its going to be either going to have Erratic behaviour or it will be dead or damaged voiding the warranty as you put a VBIOS not meant for that card on it that caused the issue and you would have to pay MSI to fix it!
    if you want a updated VBIOS if available  svet or one of the others can check that for you but you need to supply 2 pieces of information!
    1: Serial Number of the card (EG: 000-0000-000000000000000) <-- you can leave off the last 3 digits so it has no identifying information...
    2: a copy of the current VBIOS on the card

  • Just bought the MSIGE70-2PE had some questions/concerns

    I just bought the MSI GE70-2PE and i am curious  about a few things it seems to run very hot and i didn't know if this may or may not be a defective model... i mean its hitting when i play WoW  95+ C which i know is extremely hot and i have tried turning off turbo boost and lowering the battery to eco/power save and it still hits that. Also the wifi will randomly drop and i will have to turn it off and reboot to get it back.
    I was wondering if fellow owners have had this issue or know of any fixes to keep it lower temp.
    I understand its a gaming laptop but these temps seem too hot to where it could degrade the components over time also i am using a cooling pad and the laptop is not even a week old.
    Thanks so much

    *thanks for the quick response.
    my router is LINKSYS e900
    and i have contacted MSI(USA) as well to see what they think of the issue.
    I was just wondering if fellow owners may have run into this issue and on the cooling pad i do have one
    Re-pasting cpu/gpu voids your warranty apperently but MSI do have premission in EU for owners of laptop to open it and do RAM upgrade or replace of broken RAM with new ones and so on but when it comes to repasting cpu/gpu would need you to send laptop to msi service so they can do it since that can apperently void the warranty if you do it yourself.

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

     bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
    Hello,
    ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
    Tech specs:
    MB: z87-pro
    CPU: i7-4770K
    GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
    OS: Win7 x64 SP1
    latest OS updates
    latest nVidia drivers
    I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
    I've attached my GPU Bios.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
    Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
    Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
    Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
    What did the BSOD say? Error code?
    Heya, thanks for the reply.
    That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
    OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

  • MSI gtx 970 gaming 4G

    Hi....I've just bought this msi graphic card...is it possible to order a backplate for this card? maybe something like the backplate of the new msi 970 gaming 4G golden edition...
    thanks

    This is a prototype....I've co-operated with ColdZero, that makes these backplates and other stuffs.
    And this is the final work for my MSI GTX 970 gaming 4G

  • Can't OC my MSI GTX 970 GAMING

    I had MSI GTX 970 GAMING which OC-ed very well (1540 Mhz boost) but had to return it because of loud coil whine. I bought second MSI card which is silent but can't OC it even by +50 Mhz in Afterburner because it drops gpu clock to default value in Valley benchmark after couple of minutes of testing. Do you know what is the reason of that?

    Quote from: flobelix on 17-October-14, 15:48:18
    Everything has been said above. As the reboot issue is no issue if using working clockrates there is still no problem.
    You really don't see the issue with contributing to a thread about overclocking with the answer "Don't overclock and there isn't a problem"?
    Flobelix, I'm not asking for a refund here.
    I don't want a new card via RMA, and I'm not saying my card is bad in any way.
    If it works at the shipped clocks just fine, then it's clearly fine. That's all that's promised anyway.
    But I didn't come to a forum and post in this topic about overclocking to be shut down for talking about overclocking.
    I'm looking for discussion.
    I already said if someone felt my issue was sufficiently different than the OP I'd happily make a new thread.
    If that's not the case, then I think I'm well within the bounds of exactly what this thread is about.

  • B2 Error with new MSI GTX 970 :(

    Hi there team!
    Just registered to try and get help. I spent around 6 hours researching + trying all the suggestions throughout many different forums, but the B2 error still persists. I am currently running the following spec:
    Mobo - MSI Z68A-G43 (G3), with version 4.30 ( I flashed bios last night and still no help)
    CPU - Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor, 3.5GHz etc.etc.
    RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb at 1333MHz
    GPU - MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB GDDR5
    PSU - Cooler Master Silent Pro 700W
    I have tried:
    -Taking out the card and using the on-board graphics to flash the bios to later version, No help. (during this process, the B2 error does NOT show up)
    -Upgraded the card to latest nVidia drivers, even uninstalled and re-installed them. No help.
    -Upgraded all the drivers from MSI, i.e. chipset etc. through Live Update 6. No help.
    When the card is in, I cannot even access bios, it just gets stuck at B2 screen for like a minute, and then carries on with the boot process. I am able to play games etc. after the booting, but this error for sure should not be there when the PC boots up. I didn't have any issues with my old GTX 560 TI. I've read different forums saying that it might have something to do with the mobo thinking that something has to be connected to the on-board graphics; or that flashing BIOS helped a lot of users, but not me :(.
    I don't have a second PC to test the card on.
    Literally, I would try anything, please someone just help :(( This card is a beast and I wanna be able to properly use it and not having to worry about this error.
    Thank you very much guys, hope someone can help!

    Quote from: gabe_dimitrov on 08-February-15, 20:40:51
    Man thank you so much! It is finally working!!! Thank you!!!! ))) It is showing correct version in BIOS, does not show B2 error whatsoever, all done! )
    Thanks for your time! You can close thread, but it's very useful for anyone that has this issue!
    Wich version of BIOS do you have installed? Can you OC your processor with new BIOS?

  • MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G + RAIJINTEK Morpheus

    Greetings everyone.
    So as I'm aware off, there are no "default" PCB for the 970. Manufacturers were told to create their own PCB or base it off some older PCBs.
    With that said, how would you know if an aftermarket GPU cooler would fit on lets say MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G, since there should be no such things as "reference mounting holes"?
    I have the RAIJINTEK Morpheus GPU cooler laying around alright. But is there no way at all, to know if it'll fit the mention videocard?

    Okay..
    This is my suggestion:
    https://www.overclockers.co.uk/webnote.php
    Presales Enquiry:
    Tell them that you want to buy SPECIFIC graphics card (e.g. MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming Edition 4096MB ) and you also want to buy Rajintek Morpheus for it. And ask if it will fit. You don't have to buy it from them though (don't worry if you live outside the UK, they just provide damn good support on presales questions)

  • MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4GB - TERRIBLE coil-whine!

    Hi All,
    I am very disappointed with my brand new MSI 970, well "brand new" I had to return it to Novatech as it was unbearably loud and waiting for feedback from them, I have uploaded a video on Youtube.
    I have had a MSI GTX 760 for over a year and I was very excited to buy another MSI product, however I have to say that you have really screwed it up this time.
    A quick Google search and you can see that the problem is not isolated (there is also some other users who posted videos on YouTube).

    Yes I did return it to my vendor here in UK and the card should be with them tomorrow for testing but as I still within the 7 days I just ask for the money back and I will get something else instead.
    Shame really as I am a huge MSI fan however here I see that they have saved money on component compare with its direct competitor, just Google MSI GTX 970 COIL WHINE or even check comments under my video on YouTube and you see that it is not an isolate case.
    I agree with you, my MSI card (current MSI card GTX 760) has SOMETIME and NOT SO LOUD coil-whine if you really stick your head inside the case, which I really don't do often  however trust me this card sounded like R2-D2 from Star Wars! 
    I am writing an article right now about this and the fan issue on our website, we review videogame and not hardware but in this case...

  • Msi gtx 970 Fans Randomly Turning On When Idling???

    So basically I have had my msi gtx 970 for a couple weeks and the fans seem to behave as normal? Now once when I was idling I noticed the fans spin up and immediately spin down straight away. So basically now every 30 seconds the fans will spin up and spin straight back down which is weird. The temps are fine and I have checked this using MSi Afterburner. The fans I'm pretty sure are meant to stay off under 65 which it is so why are the fans spinning up. I don't seem to notice it noise wise but I don't know what it is happening. When I check the Fan % in Msi After Burner it doesn't log the fan ramping up but the 'fan tachometer, RPM' section shows it going up and back down, I will link a picture of this. I will link you the youtube video which I highly reccomend watching for a better idea of what's happening. I show you it spin up once and back down then a waiting period and then it doing it again.

    I may have found a problem with MSI's fan settings on these cards.
    Is this the problem? I don't know. But it does not seem to be set correctly IMO.
    As you can see below the fans with the OEM bios are never actually set to 0 rpm. When they are off they are actually being told to spin at 1% power at 23 rpm.
    I have changed mine.
    The fans no longer randomly spin with the new drivers. And I have not had any more problems with one fan not spinning up ( although its too early to declare victory on that problem ).
    My fans now start up at 50c and even when overclocked to 1503MHZ I have not gone over 65c at 68% fan speed.
    Went ahead and copied your settings and everything seems to be working as it should  now. Thanks
    **EDIT**
    Just tested it by getting gpu up to 50c and it seems to work. After it drops below 50 it takes a bit for the red fan to spin back down (stayed around 44% for a good 3-5 mins). After the red fan dropped to 0% the black fan slowly dropped down to 29% and that's where it is sitting right now. I think this is per design though since I remember my gpu doing this even on .16. The cooldown process or something I guess.
    And at the end of this post black fan is back down to 0%. Good call on the problem looks like it's fixed .

  • MSI GTX 970 voltage

    What is max (stock) voltage for MSI GTX 970 card?
    Mine is at min: 0.85 and at max at 1.225v
    ASIC value is 66.9% ... maybe the max voltage is dependant on the ASIC value

    I saw someone's MSI GTX 970 max voltage can manual adjust to 1.25v at other website discussion.
    but my friend's 970 the ASIC is 67.8%, and his min: 0.85v, max: 1.218v (default), manual set the voltage to +87 at Afterburner the max is 1.243v.
    Is there any other way to check the max voltage?
    We just ran 3D test to see the max voltage...not sure if it is the max value...

  • MSI GTX 970 not being detected on first PCI-E 3.0 slot of MSI Gaming 5 motherboa

    Hi guys.
    So I recently got myself a new build and some of the components include a MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G GPU and a MSI Gaming 5 mobo. When installing the GPU to the motherboard I found that for some reason nothing was being displayed on the screen. The screen wouldn't display a no signal message but it would stay black when I booted the PC up. However, when I plugged the GPU into the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot it would work and display on the screen. I read on a Tom's Hardware thread of someone with a similar problem and it was recommended to him to check his CPU for bent pins and he later confirmed that was the problem. I have tried the same, but as far as I can tell all of the pins were in their natural state and couldn't find any bent ones.
    But I also discovered something else which really started to confuse me... When I plug in my old GPU (a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti) into the first PCI-E 3.0 slot, it would work normally?! Why would it work fine with my GTX 560 but not my GTX 970?? I have tried everything. Even stripping the pc down to the most basic parts on a wooden surface and tested everything but it's still the same problem. I have also made sure that the display setting in the BIOS is set to PEG, but it would still not display anything when the GTX 970 is in the first slot, but if I plug the HDMI cable directly into my motherboard, even with the GTX 970 installed on the first slot, it would display normally. Also, in my BIOS it doesn't even detect anything being in the first PCI-E 3.0 slot in the Board Explorer menu. But when I installed it in the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot the Board Explorer menu would recognize it, but would say it's running at x8 and not x16. Should I be worried about this?
    My full setup:
    MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard
    Intel i7 4790K
    MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
    Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz 8Gb (2x4Gb)
    Corsair RM 750 PSU
    Corsair H80i CPU cooler
    Any advice from you guys on what to do or what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated!

    remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    also reseat the card into PCI-E slot 1 and make sure its fill very well into the slot
