Hi guys. I've been trying to work with what I've been given. I found the lowest memory clock 1475Mhz (down from 1600Mhz 1.6v) was giving artifacts. I lowered the memory clock using Sapphire Trixx since neither Msi afterburner or GPUtweak wanted to play (I note MSI afterburner did correctly adjust the GPU voltage). The lowest the memory would go was 1475Mhz as reported by HwInfo and msi afterburner trixx could not make it go lower. So I used VBE7.0.0.7b.exe to edit the memory lower and adjust the fan curve and put a cheeky TDP adjustment.
I've flashed that and have the memory adjusted to approximately 1300Mhz @1.6v. I'd like to try 1.5v. So having read about it previously. Some users have edited bios' in hex to effect a voltage change. All I know is that they found (their specific number they wanted to change) 1600 = 0640 hex and replaced that with 1500 = 05DC hex (hexidecimal is a base 16 number system decimal is base 10: 0..9 a..f).
So that's exactly what I did. I've taken the bios I loaded now and have used a hex editor to find/replace the 3 instances of 0640 with 05DC. I then saved it again with VBE7.0.0.7b.exe to correct the checksum. I have not tried to flash it yet. I will test my new memory settings before I take the next step. The Asus 280x DC2T 3GB only has the one bios so I must be extra careful. There are a ton of people out there though with problems with this card. It would be nice if I found the solution and could give a little back. However I'll upload the bios here first untested and gather opinions on wether its a good idea to flash my hexed bios.
