Annoying bug in MSI afterburner.

[Alfie]

All of a sudden afterburner has swapped GPU1 and GPU2 temperature monitoring, showing GPU2 temperature as GPU1. I have tried uninstalling and reinstaling afterburner but there is no resolution. The temps are also swapped in MSI Kombustor.

I have checked it against CCC and CCC still reports them the correct way around.

Has anyone come across this problem before/know a fix?

Thanks.

Interestingly enabling voltage monitoring in the afterburner settings fixes the problem. Not sure why as I can't even monitor voltage with my card. strange.

edit - it has now reverted again after running kombustor. This is odd as it was fine for weeks and I can't think what's changed.

Don't run kombustor? Beyond running it once to find stable clocks is there any need to run it ever again, even then whats not stable in kombuster doesn't mean every game ever won't be fine at that speed, so I never use it.

I've never had an issue with temps on it though.

Also you probably do have voltage monitoring, you just need to go to settings, look though the tab on monitoring, you'll see voltage listed but it has no min/max in the boxes, click on voltage, imput a min/max and it should start listing the current voltage for you.

Thanks for your response. Regardless of kombustor the afterburner software will no longer report the correct temperature under GPU1/GPU2, it has them swapped. It is the correct way around for fans, useage and clocks though. This happened out of the blue and no ammount of uninstalling and reinstalling drivers/afterburner will fix it. All other monitoring programs are reporting correctly (GPU-Z/CCC).

I know it's probably not a problem, but things like this bother me if I can't find a reason or solution.

Any ideas anyone?

PS - no entry for voltage under monitoring tab

oh, and should I disable overdrive if i'm overclocking with afterburner?

Have you changed the "Master graphics processor selection" round under the settings general tab?

There may not be a fix for it without spending ages on the msi forum trying to get the programmers attention or getting down dirty in regedit. I gave up trying to get rid of the Afterburner on screen display tray icon after inadvertently turning it on.

I dont. Afterburner takes over when running.

cheers, I tried swapping the adapters but that's only relevant if not synchronizing settings. Seems it's a bug I can't shake now. As you mention, it's probably in the registry somewhere and it wont shift when uninstalling.

Now my clocks are jumping all over the place in afterburner, very odd. I hate poorly made 3rd party apps like this
