Hi just got my GTX 560ti OC back from RMA.
No corruption at boot anymore but gets into windows andhas graphic glitches and driver recovered error all the time before it freezes altogether
the report says reason for fault C03 component bad , 10ff 1-24800b-01R fuse 1206sfs800f/24 raychem my question is do they test the cards after repair as it seems that they cured one problem and left the rest.
-
I would have thought so but maybe they only look for the fixed problem. It certainly sounds like they repaired the original issue and then only made sure that it was working.
-
Back to original problem now glitches on boot then BSOD any suggestions to what i do now
-
increase voltage in bios , then reflash it
-
Hi dont have a clue how to and i get BSOD before i get to windows now
-
You flash card with bootable CD or bootable usb stick. In that case, you dont start windows, just start small system that is capable of doing job ( flashing card) But since you dont have clue, it is hard to explain in few words
-
Yes I would have to agree with pepi there. It is hard to walk somebody through every step of the way. Maybe it woulkd be best if you took your card along to a local computer store and see if they can do it for a small fee.
-
surely if its faulty i should get a prper repair or replacement not have to mess about myself
-
If yuou are sure it is faulty you can ask for a RMA or contact GGTS for help.

Also have a KFA2 560ti clocked at 950mhz in my other rig that has been working 6months with no problem swapped them over and the gigabyte acts up in there too
-
Well it does sound faulty then. As I said earlier contact the address I gave you or try returning it to your retailer for an RMA.
-
Hi could it be these oc cards are not getting enough power ampage wise as the kfa2 has a 6pin pcie and a 8 pin pcie input rather than 2 6 pin pcie inputs and is rock steady even overclocked to 1000mhz just a thought
-
From the other cards that I have seen on the forum here that have failed it is normally down to the voltage setting and once sorted an even bigger overclock can be made in a lot of cases. Once again it really boils down to the fact that no two cards/chips will behave the same and so trying to do a "standard" overclock across a whole batch of cards is bound to have problems.
-
Hi just heard from Gigabyte that my card is being replaced they are just waiting for a delivery either today or next tuesday so looks like a good result many thanks for all your help and advice.
-
That at least sounds like a good outcome and please come back and let us know how it goes. ;)

Hi just received a brand spanking new GTX 560 TI and touch wood it is working grt played a few games, not willing to stress test it happy it does what i want lol checked on msi afterburner for curiosity and the voltage is set to 1.000mv bios ver is f12 needless to say i am very happy with the outcome thanks to all who helped on this forum and a big thumbs up to Gigabyte
-
Glad to hear that it has all turned out alright in the end. Sometimes an RMA is the only way to go. ;)

I thought thats why gigabyte do the GPU gaultlet?
Surely thats the whole point of it, they are not just picking any old GPU and dropping it into the OC'd versions. If I get a card, I expect it to work at advertised settings with no need to mess with the volts or speeds, if you need to - its faulty.
-
Well littlepuppi I really don't know exactly how much "cherry picking" goes on when deciding which chips to use to make the Gauntlet cards but I would assume that it is probably done by just checking that the chip reaches some test level. If that is the case then there are still going to be cards that fail at some other point and I would agree in practice that makes them faulty.

yop
for information i found this here :-]

Yes I would tend to agree with the link that you posted there. I have seen quite a few people who have either downclocked or upped the voltage and succeeded in getting a stable card.

CAN YOU PLEASEEE make backup of your BIOS F12 because I have the old one F11 and I have artifacts and sometimes crashes. PLEASE MAKE BACKUP and send it on the forum.
WHY gigabyte hasn't posted the new F12 BIOS FOR DOWNLOAD?
-
Hi i have just made a backup of the F12 bios that is on my new card if anybody would like to try it let me know I cant guarantee it will work for you so its a try at your own risk type of fix.
-
If you would prefer to send it to me I will pass it on to anyone who asks. If you want to do it that way just PM me. ;)
npottle has kindly emailed the F12 BIOS to me so if anyone wants to use it please just PM your email address to me and I will send it.
