Please sir. Need some help. Would like a new modded bios for Asus Strix GTX 980 O.C.

Let us continue where left off. I highjacked a thread, sry bout that.

So, you need pictures of white stickers and a picture of memory from the card in which I need to remove the heat sink correct??

That has been the standard request to get things started, yes.

Also bios sometimes have all ram brands and tables included

Brime removing hsf is only needed if card is bricked
 
So please tell me exactly what you need then. I'm not entirely sure.

I haven't modded a bios since X1800 XT 256 mb.

This ok for now? Or do you still need/want the sticker picture?

The model number from the back of the card is much welcome, also the main screen of gpu-z is needed

@ShrimpBrime get me a main screenshot of gpu-z then some pics of the white stickers on back of card or on side of heatsink. By the way I cant send you private messages

WHY IS IT UPSIDE DOWN??? It looks fine on my desktop viewer... sigh.
 
What do you want the bios modded to? is it for an OC bios, have you tested the cards max stable software OC, do you need something more than software OC, is it unstable, has it been flashed previously? you dont specify what your reasoning is for modding the bios....

Yes good question.
Well, a modded bios can play a big role for overclocking.
Plan to drop this in my 8700K rig that happens to be on the bench right now and do some Benchmarking.
Probably don't need a bios for LN2, I'd like just a better stable card while overclocking air/liquid.

The card runs super cool on the stock cooler. Fans at 0 rpm until 60c. And that's a manufacturer config.
With an updated OC bios, the fan curve may be a bit different also.
 
Lets see 1 moment bro, we might be able to mod yours

Ah you ninja'ed post after my reply!
I cannot overclock my video card through it's bios.
Have tested the max stable OC already.

Something more than software OC would be hard modifications that would require soldering.
Generally, this type of mod would be great for running LN2, which I do not plan to do, BUT have the 22l dewar handy just in case ;)

The card has never been flashed.

Additional Comment:
No hurries on the bios mod btw. Take all the time you need.
 
This is a Maxwell card.

I have some experience with this. You'll want the Maxwell Bios Tweaker... and some aspirin.

Well, luckily, I don't have the need to modify this bios. Got a good friend taking care of it :D

Got plenty of other cards I may request this service for as well, which may already been modded and archived. We'll get down that road into next year for sure.
 
Still not sure what you want modded?

Bro can you hit the arrow next to the uefi checkbox and attempt to upload the bios to the tpu database, you should get a prompt stating the file is already in the database with a link, copy the link and post it here

Lets see if i can locate some others too

I want a modded Bios for the video card?
Please be more specific with your question.

I'd like a modded bios for better stability and possibly better overclocking and a better fan profile.

Will do Mr. Airman sir!

OK the bios is already part of the collection.

Numbered 172347.rom
Stated not varified in the Bios collection btw. You guys can verify it now.

Better stability? what are your tested clocks? what's your max software OC? do you need more voltage than SW OC? fan profile can be done in MSI AB, I don't understand what your requirement for a bios mod is, and if you dont know why I keep repeating myself then you're better playing with MSI AB and learning how to OC before you even attempt to mod a GPU bios. We can't give you a magic bios mod OC without knowing what your current limitations and requirements are, that's not how it works as all silicone is different.

Hey bro there is a newer bios than what you have from 2015 but I will post all possible ones that work on your card
 
OK my brother! I'll give the one you think best a shot first!

@MrPotatoHead
My tested clocks differ from one benchmark to another. Some of the older Legacy benchmarks like AquaMark3 for example are super light on a card and you can generally push clocks much higher. For something like 3DMark Vantage, uses more resources and tends to yield a lower OC.
That said, In general I can get Base/Boost clocks up 100mhz aroudn 1380 boosted tested up to but not limited to Gaming.

After Burner boots with windows (if set up this way) and yes I can set a fan profile. However I am benchmarking the card. I want as little as possible to post with windows during a heavy OC with the 8700K processor Running 5.3ghz or faster. So using AB isn't exactly the way I want to go for a better more serious score.

And the "learning to OC" comment is really not necessary. I have some 700+ submissions to HWBot. I think overclocking I can handle. ;)
 
This is your current bios

These are from 2015 factory OC



This one is 2015 with heavy OC

These are from 2014

I'm currently restoring my phone to stock rom and enduring some difficulties so I'll be on as soon as I can.

That wasn't an insult, I have asked you the same questions over and over to try and find out what you want to get from a bios mod and I'm still not 100% sure what that is.... also realise that many people come asking for bios mods who are new to overclockiing and modding so finding out why is a neccessity, sorry if that offended you, I have 0 HWBOT submissions and I'm fine with that, does that make me a noob, cause as far as I can tell I'm the one who was going to help you with a bios mod but I needed to know what you wanted to get out of it and what had led you to bios modding instead of using a software OC, but hey wtf do I know anyway. I'm out

Oh I see what you are saying.

BUT... I didnt ask anything from you, I went to the Airman himself. And hes known me for many years. Any questions like this from you, he already knows the answers to.

Now, view the bios files here he posted up for me. I see at least 3 that would accomidate a modded bios request without the need for any other information than Ive given him.
Also I might add do not show up in my searches.

And he also messaged me to help you out, I'm not just some random guy who decided to butt in on a conversation, read what I asked you... but whatever man, good luck with your endevours, I wont be adding anything further ;)
