1. What is the SC bios?
2. Can you not resize the picture as no one can read the values

opps i'll try and get it reised and its the superclocked bios that am running

 

[chriscubed]

OT I know, but it looks like the window is resting on Stonehenge there

 

[scooby555t]

there sorted just to let any other evga 680 owners know they can flash the superclocked bios with out any issues had a few rounds of bf3 and rock stable and temps where good as well

 

[elrasho]

where did you get the BIOS and is there a guide for doing this?

 

[scooby555t]

http://www.mvktech.net/component/op...iew/id,62829/catid,10/limit,10/limitstart,50/ and the bios can be downloaded from techpowerup or of the site

 

[elrasho]

so you just use nvflash? That link you posted isn't very clear:

'Can anyone either post how they are flashing the bios (what strings used in nvflash, etc) or a link to a how to?

Thanks!'

Response:

'nvflash -4 -5 -6 biosname.rom'

 

[scooby555t]

yeah this is what i did
backed up my original bios with "nvflash -backup"
downloaded nvflash for windows
put the bios into the folder where nvflash is
run a cmd window
remamed the bios to something shorter than the privous name
cmd line used was "nvflash -4-5-6 and the name of the bios,

cool might give it a try if I feel my EVGA 680 isn't pushing hard enough (doubt that will be anytime soon)

 

[fantasticCG]

can you put the actual link to the dl. That link was just to forum writing

 

[scooby555t]

here ya go http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/118404/EVGA.GTX680.2048.120329.html

Thanks for the link. Does it alter volts at all, as in let me go above 1.175? I doubt it but here is hoping.

 

[scooby555t]

nope i dont think so but still superclocked card without the extra ££

Very true.

 

[ntemples1]

does this void your warranty though?

 

[straxusii]

does this void your warranty though?

Yes

Of course you can flash it back, assuming the card isn't completely dead, question is if it is dead will they know?


Does this bios result in increased stable overclocks for any of you guys?

 

[scooby555t]

as long as you back up the original bios and if anything does go wrong you flash back

 

[scooby555t]

this bios is only adjust the clocks upto the superclocked version of the 680 as i say ive done 4hrs today on bf3 and no issues and slightly increased FPS
