Twin Frozr II GTX 580 questions

Hi, this is the lead graphics card for the rig I'm building (its my first so sorry if questions are noobish!)
1. Does overclocking void the warranty?
2. I read on newegg about this card having crysis crash and some issues with the mouse symbol, are those fixed? I tried finding more info but couldn't.
3. Its dual slot pci-e correct?
Thank you very much!

Hello and welcome,
as with all overclocking, it can void warranty yes, but its so common nowadays thats its pretty standard and there are some good programs outthere to overclock with.
So as long as you do it through software and DONT flash your cards bios with higher clocks or hardmod it, there should be no problems.
Just dont fiddle with the hardware and you should be fine.
About the issues, with Crysis and the mousepointer, you gotta check the Nvidia forum, since its a drivers issue and not an MSI issue.
And yes it takes up two slots in your case.
Came up with another question (probably buying this card tonight by the way! Excited!)
If drivers aren't a MSI issue, why does MSI have drivers? Should I use nvidia's or MSI's?

Twin Frozr II GTX 580 Fan speed unlock

Hi all,
My GTX 580 appears to be over heating so i'd like to be able to flash the bios if possible, (any tips appreciated) with a modified file to unlock the 30-100% speed fan profile.
Any help appreciated.
Kind regards!

Thanks, already know my way around Afterburner though . Its limited to 80% max fan speed... thats the issue! I want to unlock the 100% fan speed.
I downloaded the newest GTX 580 BIOS from the MSI website, and modified it with NiBiTor. There are numerous articles on how to do, and flash the BIOS properly, with a google search.

MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670

Hello
Having a slight problem with my gpu, maybe it is not a problem though.
My MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670 is idling at a great temp of 28 Celsius.
When I play battlefield 3 or future soldier my card temps hit 80 degrees, I also hit 82 degrees in fur mark.
Is this high temps for this card
thanks

Well I guess your card is a GTX 670 Power Edition because that uses Twin Frozr 4. 80 or 82°C is by far no problem especially not in Furmark. Besides the Twin Frozr 4 has more potential and gets my (much overclocked) GTX 680 Lightning to stay at 60°C under load but I have a very decent ventilation in my bigtower case. So with better airflow you'd have better temps but none the less the current temps are still far from problematic.

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.
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.

MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670 fan problem

Hello
Just notice that only one fan on my GPU is spinning up.
I did notice my temps were getting a bit high under load, then I noticed the card was on running the one fan.
Does this sometimes happen or should both fans be on at the same time?
Thanks for any reply.

GTX 670

Hi
Latest update. I rma'd the card. It was sent back fault not found, both fans working.
I installed the card back into my system and only the one fan is working. I tried all four pci-e slots and still only one fan works.
I don't think it has anything to do with the motherboard as i installed my gtx 570 twin frozr 3 and both fans are working
I have all latest drivers for the card and chipset installed
I have no clue now, thanks for any advice

N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition Questions

Hi,
I just have two questions regarding my card.
Firstly, is this http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/427489/MSIN570BIOS-bin.html the most up to date vbios for my card, if not where can I get the latest one from?
Secondly and this is probably a stupid question, my card has a switch on it that switches the cards fan mode between Performance and Silence. Which is which on the card? I have tried the switch both way but I couldn't really notice a difference?! If I was looking down on it with the backplate to my left, which side of the switch would be on the left?

about second question, they are named [peformance & silence]
see it on image:
http://media.msi.com/main.php?g2_itemId=65220&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
when you switching between BIOSes, you need to reboot your computer,
then the new BIOS will be active.
if you switching them without reboot, they are not switched.
about 1st one
update is available, i've attached it below.

thanks for the answer. yes i know it's great that i recieved this version
Edit: It hast the standard clock speeds, so is it reference design, which a normal gtx 480 watercooler would fit?
you have to check compatibility with cooler makers.
also installing 3th party cooler will void your warranty

N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition Question

Hi,
I've had this graphics card for a year and a half and had no real issues with it but I am considering watercooling my system and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a waterblock for this card?
Although the perforance of the fan is great, my card does get quite hot (dual screens) which in turn makes my room noticably warmer so I think water cooling maybe a way around this.
Any suggestions?

Because of it being a custom design pcb a full cover block doesn't exist. a simple gpu block leaves the vrms without cooling which is a bad idea. Better go for a high end air cooler like Prolimatech MK26 or Alpenfoehn Peter

MSI Twin Frozr 275 GTX stays at very low clocks

I just recently received the above card 2 days ago and after installation I didn't really notice a positive difference from my 8800GT and sometimes worse performance. Then I installed MSI afterburner and setup monitoring on all of the clocks: Core, Shader, and Memory. This is how it reads 300 core idle 602 shader idle and 100 for the memory clock when it is idle. After playing Crysis for 5 mins I closed the game and saw that the max numbers for my card was 400 core 800 shader and 297 memory. How do I get my card to run full speed? All of my games are pretty much the same as my 8800gt (which is impressive for the low clocks) But the reason I upgraded was to have a completely faster card. Any ideas?

Hello and welcome, please list all specs of your computer including details from psu, like amps on +12V, etc.
This way we can help you better.
Thanks

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II overheating / not cooling

So I've had this Twin Frozr II GTX 580 card for well over a year now and recently it has started to fail alot.
It hits temperatures over 100 °C and ends with a black screen and a forced reboot.
I've blown out all the dust in my PC (monthly routine) and that didn't fix it. Neither did a driver update or BIOS update/flash.
While watching MSI Afterburner I noticed that the card isn't really cooling down during games but once I hit alt-tab and get into windows, the fans really do their job and cool down the card as it should be cooled.
Even while I set the fan speed to 85% manually with afterburner, it doesn't really go to it's full 4k RPM untill after I alt-tab. It usually hovers around 2300 RPM (or a lot less) while I'm playing the game.
Also, it's idle temperature is 43°C, which is kind off high I think.
Offcourse, having to alt tab for 5 minutes after each 10-15 minutes of gameplay is quite ridiculous, not to mention annoying in MMO's.
Anyone encountered the same issue and would know how to fix it? Not sure if I will re-do the thermal paste since that might void my warranty (if it still is under warranty, which I'm not sure off)...

I think what he is saying,
is that his fan speed doesnt ramp up during game play, maxing at or around 85% until he tabs out then it'll hit 100% to cool it off.
That's a bit odd, and I can only suggest manually setting the gpu via afterburner to 100% before gameing.
Unless I read that all wrong..

MSI twin frozr II freeze and glitch problem.

Hi everyone,
I have a very annoying problem with my card. Whenever I play BF3 with a total random time I get some green glitches and the display freeze (see the attached screen).
Normally I get right back on windows with this little popup "display driver stopped answer and recovery successful". But now it just freeze and I have to do a hard reboot...
Here is my config:
-I7 2600k
-Asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1
-2x4Gb Ripjaws X
-OCZ 850w 80gold+
-MSI twin frozr II GTX 580 with latest drivers
-Win 7 64b
I've already look around google, I'm not alone but it seems there is no real solution. It's really sad to have this kind of prob with that expensive card... without any solution.
Some help would be very nice.
Thanks for any help.

I've never flash my vbios.
But after downloading and trying to flash it with the link you provide nvflash says that my current version is: 70.10.20.00.01 and the one I downloaded is 70.10.17.00.01.
So am I already in the lastest ?
Thanks
this number is not vBIOS ID, so in all cases it will remain the same.

A Few Questions About The GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC in SLI

Hi everyone!
I have a few questions if you guys don't mind answering them, first thing though to make it clear this system is not built yet but the build will start soon.
My first question is whether or not this PSU is capable of running two GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC in SLI:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139015&Tpk=AX850
+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@70A, [email protected], +5VSB@3A
My second question is whether or not the GTX 580 Twin Frozr/OC will come with a SLI bridge connector long enough to accomplish a connection over this distance:
If not where can I buy a bridge capable of accomplishing this?, the reason for this distance is to keep the bottom card from pushing air onto the top one.
The above is a normal ATX form factor motherboard or to be more specific a ASRock P67 EXTREME6.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157231

Quote
EDIT-
I'm looking at the picture right now and it looks like the bridge that comes with the motherboard is not long enough, any suggestions on where to buy one?
nope no idea, ask your reseller
Quote
I didn't mean the Watts I mean the Amps, from other threads in this board it seems that some PSU's aren't up to the task of supplying the card with enough Amps, I was wondering if that PSU could supply enough for both.
Well you can figure from the graph
With one VGA it drains total 447W, where single 580GTX need 40A-42A,
adding second the same VGA to the system drains total 719W
So 719-447=272W, 272W/12=23A, 42A+23A=65A
or simple 719/12=60A

BTW, I would also like to say I'm currently using a MSI board in my current build and I love it!
