    [workaround] Annoying design fault with expensive Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme cards

    Yes. At least for me was working well. Unfortunately I think I’m the only one who flashed this new vbios. I tested it during one week in standard and still using it. But if you want to keep your clocks higher you must use some OC tool (adjust fan profile) like afterburner to keep your card...

    [workaround] Annoying design fault with expensive Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme cards

    There are few chances that this is a non legit one as we do not have a pascal bios editor. But I can understand you. Regards.

    [workaround] Annoying design fault with expensive Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme cards

    I can confirm to you that this vbios is working. I flashed yesterday with nvflash and is working fine till now. Also have played some games and couldn´t identify the issues. Zotac never put their vbios in the website. Also this is a non verified file because it was uploaded 6 days ago in TPU. So...

    [workaround] Annoying design fault with expensive Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme cards

    It is not difficult to change a thermal compound. I do it since generation 7xx. I think if you search a little you will see how easy it is. But explain it here is not so easy as seeing images. This change in termal paste give me more stability in frequencies and less agressive fan profile. (Less...

    [workaround] Annoying design fault with expensive Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme cards

    I am using Afterburner and using mine fan profile. But for a card expensive like that we shouldn't have to do it don't you agree? Also I could get much better temps when changing the original thermal compound to GELID GC extreme. I think this is related to the vbios of the card. But without any...

    [workaround] Annoying design fault with expensive Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme cards

    I also have this card but mine is from 2016. I have in mine 1080 amp extreme bios 86.04.17.00.BA and face same problems. In your newer GTX 1080 from this year do you have any bios different from that? I saw many cards from many manufacturers have their bios updates (86.04.66.XX). Even normal...

    ASUS R9 290X OC2 Dead in 30 Minutes.

    It would be good to see if this has worked for him. Maybe more users of this ASUS R9 290X have the same problem. Or maybe cards from other manufacturers. I was trying to send my .rom file to VGA bios collection of TECHPOWERUP. But it tells already exist in their databases. As I can see there are...
