The MSI Forums is quite good really, the info is there, you just need to modify what is explained, all depends of the latest bios on the MSI website is actually the latest one? dated 30th March 2011.

Click >> http://forum-en.msi.com/ and use the forum search function, that is how I found the info you require.

NVFlash 5.100.0.1

NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.100.0.1).

This DOS based software can be used to upgrade your NVIDIA video card BIOS flash ROM. You can also use it to create a backup of the BIOS on your video card.

This version adds BIOS flashing support for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.

Download latest Bios from MSI Website: Click >> http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-M2D15D5-OC.html#Download

Rename Bios file from NV801MS.KG4 to KG4.ROM

Create a USB key bootable
How to make USB key bootable: http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
Then get attached file, and extract & copy all files nvflash.exe, CWSDPMI.EXE and KG4.rom to the USB key.

Then reboot the computer and boot from the bootable USB key,
when you see A:\ or C:\ type:

nvflash.exe -b old.rom [ENTER]
Wait process to finish, this will backup/save your current VBIOS.

Then flash the new VBIOS with:
nvflash.exe -4 -5 -6 KG4.rom [ENTER]

Wait process to finish, then reboot the machine and you're done

I just downloaded the updated bios from MSI website for there OC 580 and it still has a to low 962mv voltage (It Crazy )

Was this one i looked at http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-M2D15D5-OC.html#Download
Forget what I posted previously then, what does MSI Live Update 5 say? latest bios installed?

0.962 is power saving clocks, check the actual clocks on the card, then use kombuster or some other intesive utility the voltage will jump to 1.025, different card and bios but this is what I see happening in MSI Afterburner.
