**THE AMD DRIVERS THREAD**

[shankly1985]

why not amd Unistaller works pretty good for me

Works good because you have Intel system, you wouldn't be saying that if it was amd system

AAMD uninstaller removes everything amd. Chipset etc

 

[smogsy]

true dat, but thats why you stick away from AMD

These any good Matt? I might just stay on the beta if they're the same.

 

[humbug]

Why is 14.4 BETA still up there and why are they a different file size?

 

[Mtom]

Thats great WHQL driver, and still no fan % monitoring, and no manual fan speed setting........

Is it not there in CCC? How about use msi Afterburner? What GPU is it?

290X lightning.
The button is greyed out in AB where you can switch off the auto fan, to manually set fan speed. AB doesn't show fan % just rpm, and MSI"s own fan control software also shows the fans as 0%.
Just like every 14.X beta so far.

Have you tried using the software built for the card?

Very strange, latest bios? Does this happen on last Whql driver or just 14.x

 

[Mtom]

13.12 is fine 14.X is not

Think he has that bug shankly

Did you try the fix listed on that thread Mtom?

 

[Mtom]

Guys im aware of this, i told guys on this forum about the fan bug, and no MSI haven't done anything to fix it.
There is no new bios, and the fan controller software is not helping, it still shows 0%

So 14.X driver is (at least for Lightning owners) useless

If im setting manual fan in CC it just jumps back to where it was.

 

[Neil79]

MSI don't give a **** about most things to be honest To them, it's everyone else's fault!

 

[Neil79]

I'm sticking with RC1, if it works leave it alone at my end anyway

 

[Mtom]

Ok so the solution is for lightning users
Go to MSI forum, and make a thread asking for an UEFI/Vbios with your S/N, and old bios, and the new UEFI bios (as fai as i know) solves the problem. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167763.0

 

[Neil79]

Just played Arma 3 for ages and then Survarium not a single crash or freeze using RC1 drivers, of which I'm staying on

Someone tell frosty so he can start using 14.4 WHQL.

14.4 gave a blackscreen on install for me and a friend... both rocking MSI 290s. I sorted mine. His PC wouldn't come back on

Both used DDU
