Strange Noise from MSI GTX 770 Gaming

I recently bought a MSI GTX 770 Gaming and it makes a strange noise. It doesn't sound like coil whine to me, more of a clicking. I also don't think its the fans as it makes the exact same noise regardless of fan speeds. However, it does seem directly related to load, the higher the clock speed the louder it gets.
See the below video for the noise, if you listen carefully you can hear towards the end where it transitions from high load -> low load -> high light again.
Should I be concerned?

Board: Asus P6T Deluxe v2
VGA: MSI GTX 770 Gaming
PSU: Corsair HX750 +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@62A, [email protected], +5VSB@3A
Processor: Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0
MEM: Corsair Dominator 1600 3x2gb
HDD: Samsung Pro 256gb SSD
COOLER: Corsair H80i
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
It is definitely not the fans. The noise is irrelevant to fan speed. Also, did you copy the youtube link? I've heard coil whine and this does not sound the same. It's strange and seems to be coming from the PCB.

I bought MSI 770GTX Gaming 2GB few months ago. Now i`m playing Crysis 3 and occasionally my GPU usage drops to 45%-50%. It happends on same places, like in first scene when climbing up the stairs. I go up, GPU Usage drops to 45% for 1-2 scs and stuff like that. Now I wonder is anyone else experiencing same symptoms, and what can I do to solve this problem? I`m using latest drivers, 331.82. I registered my card, and updated BIOS from your support site. Temperatures are <70c, nowhere near power limit so that can`t be causing low gpu drops. I did fresh Windows install but it didn`t help. Didn`t try older drivers yet.

I have the same card and had a lot of similar issues to this especially in crisis 3.
I seemed to resolve the issues by removing the Nvidia audio drivers and the MSI gaming app, then I reinstalled the NVidia drivers as a clean install without the audio driver. I didn't reinstall the gaming app as when I did the issue comes back

Msi gtx 970 gaming low asic quality

My gtx 970 gaming card own an nvidia chip with asic value of only 64.4%
I purchased this model because i think they used a high quality nvidia chip like my msi gtx 770 gaming /oc (80.2%) end msi gtx 670 pe /oc (86.6%).
This chip is for reference card not for high end card...I'm a little disappointed

asic value is irrelevant. If gpu works fine there is nothing to complain. MSI doesn't cherry pick gpus. As long as they are meeting the specs card is sold with you got what you paid for.

MOVED: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G + MSI Z87-G45 incompatible? Noise on speakers

This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184068.0

Used hardware
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (+ RMA'ed new one)
Gigabyte 670 GTX Windforce
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard (with Intel i7-4770K, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB, and Crucial M500 - 480GB SSD)
Asus P5N32-E with Q6600 and 8GB DDR2 (Going to test this)
SoundBlaster-Z Audio card
Roccat Kave 5.1 Gaming Headphones (4x 3.5 mm jacks: Front, Rear, Center&bass, Microphone + USB amp/volume control)
Corsair B600 (600W) PSU (secondary)
Corsair RM750 (750W) PSU (Primary)
To summarize
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + Gigabyte GTX 670 + Roccat Kave = really faint noise only when scrolling in browser, in game not heard
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave = in game loud and heavy noise + screech when scrolling in browser
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game moderate to heavy noise
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game weak to moderate noise
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave with Mic disconnected = Almost no noise, ifg you listen for it, really faint background noise in game. But well within my acceptable limits.
Tomorrow I'll try:
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave without mic
Corsair RM750 + Asus P5N32-E (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave with mic
I failed to mention, that the first thing I did was to remove my HD Audio Front panel connector off its header.
So I did some more searches. The noise has something to do with the capacitors on (presumably) the video card. The higher the pitch usually coincides with higher FPS. So the interference must be coming from the video card, as this is the last thing added and probably the main cause.
Both the motherboard & the SoundBlaster-Z pick up the EMI/RF interference. (I am disappointed by the SoundBlaster about this).
I'll test with the older motherboard and see how I proceed from there.

MSI GTX 770 Lightning LE Edition --- Original/LN2 strange overclock results

Ok guys this is very strange OVERCLOCK results!! On my gtx 770 Lightning LE card i have 2 bios which need to be physically move(switch) by my hand on Graphis Card!
In ORGINAL Bios my OC results is higher and better then on LN2 Bios
MSI Settings on ORGINAL bios:

Core Voltage: +100
Power Limired +109%
Core Clock: +150 Mhz GPU-Z-> GPU CLOCK: 1222; Boost: 1274 ; GPU 2.0 Boost: 1306 Mhz
Mmemory Clock: +500

Memory Clock: + 500Mhz
Picture of LN2 BIOS: http://www.mediafire.com/view/myfiles/#oq818435y296uj3
With LN2 BIOS we need to have more OVERCLOCK potential or not? For me ORGINAL bios give me more OVERCLOCK potential than LN2 BIOS. Why is it so?

Quote from: flobelix on 26-March-14, 04:10:14
Obviously you don't understand. LN2 allows to set higher voltages not increase oc potential with the same settings. When setting less extra voltage in LN2 than in normal vbios results can't be better.
Then why is voltage on "LN2 BIOS" only +12 and on ORIGINAL BIOS much better +100?
Look this: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/09/22/msi_geforce_gtx_780_lightning_video_card_review/3#.UzHuZPldWio
He have more OC potencial with LN2 BIOS! I really don't understand! And in Afterburner writes: MSI gtx 780 Lightning (LN2)
And when is my card on ORIGINAL bios in Afterburner writes " Graphics Card: MSI GTX 770 Lightning LE"
When is card on LN2 bios in Afterburner writes "Graphics Card: GeForce gtx 770"
Look my 2 pictures

MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ?

MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ? What will be the problem? When I disabled it there is no sound. BUt when I enabled it there is a strange noise while moving my mouse cursor or when there is some CPU activity, sounds like a squeeking or scratching, a bit like hdd activity, but barely noticeable. It looks like it's coming from the area around the cpu socket, must be something on the motherboard. is there a solution other than just disabling it? I want to be able to make C1E enable but cant bare this noise so I have to turn it of....

Sound like some electrical sound produced by current going through that area.
Try contacting MSI support for more help.

i try Flashing Bios with 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4
My Logitech Gamepad F710 on this mobo is not working as it should.
I play fifa 14, and my gamepad, the response was very poor. as analog becomes very hard, and passing the ball in play fifa 14 is very difficult. I compare my gamepad used in asus P8Z68 deluxe.
I use windows 8.1 pro

That is most certainly a hardware clash.
Is there any Logitech firmware update or software?
If it remains sluggish or unresponsive then I would contact both Logitech and MSI technical to attend to it to see if there is either a firmware update or BIOS update that can be done to resolve the matter.

REQUEST: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G original bios

My S/N is 602-V316-03SB1409075224 I would like to request the original vBIOS that my card came with.
My card had problems with the fans randomly spinning and so I updated to the appropriate bios which was NV316MH.182 and that fixed the problem. However I have noticed since updating that the noise from the card has increased when playing games and today whenever starting any game I get an instant crash and my whole system resets, this happens now even when I'm not playing a game and my computer has been randomly restarting and I know it's a problem with the GPU.
I am worried that it is most likely that the GPU is failing but I would like to try flashing the card to its original stock vBIOS and seeing if that fixes anything. Even if you don't believe the vBIOS is the problem, I would still very much like to have the stock vBIOS for my card. Thanks!
I'm on windows 8.1 64 bit.

I don't know what the name of the vBIOS I updated from was, but it was the stock version that came with the card so most likely the vBIOS before the one I'm currently using which was downloaded to fix the fans randomly spinning.

MSI GTX 770 4Gb/DDR5 OC GPU usage is 0%

Hi Guys,
I've noticed that when I'm using the "MSI Game App" for OC my GTX770 to game mode or OC mode,
when benchmarking the card with "MSI Kombustor" I see that the GPU load stays at 0% all the time (using the MSI Afterburner SW).
Only when I'm switching the "MSI game App" to Normal mode, or shutting it down it completely and performing Benchmark tests again, the GPU load is rising up to 97%-99% usage.
Using the MSI Afterburner for monitoring the sensors, shows the same results in all scenarios - I can see the core temperature is climbing, but the GPU load stays at 0% all the time .
I'm using:
The latest NVIDIA GTX 770 drivers (331.82 & tried also 331.93),
The latest MSI game app (v1.0.0.13),
The latest MSI Afterburner Version 2.3.1 & Kombustor.
Mother Board: GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R (rev 2)
Video Card: MSI GTX 770 4Gb/DDR5 OC
Power supply: Corsair RM750.
Any clue how to solve this problem will be much appreciated
Moreover - Can someone please tell me what benchmark score is considered as a good score for this HW setup (using the MSI Kombustor)?
Thanks in advance and a Happy new year to everyone,
SunShy

Quote from: flobelix on 01-January-14, 22:00:00
The issue is no issue. The Gaming APP blocks usage reading to prevent boost 2.0 to throttle at low usage to have a relatively stable oc clockrate (to have best benchmark results). Don't use the Gaming APP and use Afterburner for overclocking and usage monitoring will work fine.
Thank you flobelix!

MSI GTX 780 (Gaming) coil whine?

I've had this MSI GTX 780 (Gaming) for about a month and it has been making quite a lot of noise while gaming.
I've recorded a sample of starting up and playing Borderlands 2:
Sample (Not sure how to provide the link considering I'm not allowed to post external links)
0-10s is Windows Idle
10-36s is Loading & Menu
36s+ is actual gaming and where the noise really kicks in
Sleeping Dogs and Splinter Cell Blacklist also result in the same amount of noise (more or less)
Unigine Valley also leads to the same noise (if not louder) regardless whether I take Extreme HD preset or a combination of Custom settings (DX9, DX11, OpenGL, Fullscreen, Windowed, 0x-8x AA)
Is there anything I can do about it?
Is it definitely the GPU or should I be looking at maybe the PSU?
Is this grounds for a RMA?
I unfortunately don't have access to another 780 or a suitable PSU for testing...
PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer Quad 750W (Mk1)
Mobo: Asus Z87-A

i like overkill PSU's that are 2-3x more then i will ever need like my one in my AMD rig listed below in my signature (Thermaltake Tough Power 1500W that is a great PSU) i too am sceptical of there below 600W ones as they tend to be made cheaply but the higher end ones (700W+) tend to be made by better PSU OEM's that build them very well (my 1500W one was £200 UK when i got it 3-4 years ago and it has no problems at all) tried alot of GPU's with it and 0 whine from any including a AMD HD 7970 and Nvidia GTX780 from the most recent cards out there!
but I agree the lower end ones AVOID them as its a 50/50 chance it will be a bad buy. (i have 2 seasonic still in use and 2 Corsair ones and both makes are great)

Best regards
By the way I can't register this card (Error: 00140002)
Looks like a return because no blister !

Use the attached.
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash

3.) If we need to check if thier is a more recent version. We can check your Vbios in one of two ways.
A.) Upload a copy of your current vbios somewhere and give us a link. You can save a copy of your vbios using >>GPU-Z<<.
B.) You can also just use NVFLASH >>Download NVFLASH for windows<<
Syntax:
nvflash /v >rep.txt [ENTER]
This will copy all of the information we need into a txt file you will fine in the folder in which you placed nvflash.
4.) Be aware that gpu-z screenshots or what gpu-z reads out as bios version are NOT of any use for identifying the required vbios version. While it doesn't hurt to add those when S/N and an actual copy of the vbios are also supplied simply just adding screenshots or version readouts will not get you any further and us having to ask for the required informations.

MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr 2GB OC Bios question

I got the MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr OC 2gb version and would like to know how to verify if I have the newest bios for the gpu.
This is the newest version listed on the website : http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N770_TF_2GD5OC.html#download
And thats an ss from GPU-Z, cant find the exact bios version in that downloadable zip from msi website and i cant seem to find the date created for the bios I have on my card now.
Having some problems with gpu load drops and microstuttering, so wondering if a bios update might sort out my problems.

The vbios on MSI site is a different vbios series (NV282MS.331) and older than your current vbios. Your vbios (NV282MS.352) is dated 06/18/13 while the one from MSI site is dated 06/11/13. Both are legacy vbios versions (no GOP support). You can try the latest hybrid vbios (GOP support) which is NV282MH.351. It is attached.
