Hello so I seem to have bricked my 3070 gaming oc rev 1 by trying to update the vbios for rebar support as i was told the version i originally had it wasnt possible i downloaded the newest firmware from gigabytes website for my card and installed it nothing happened my screen went black for mulitple hours and my pc sounded like a jet engine and eventually it shut off and i tried rebooting it and had no display

I unplugged my gpu and turned on IGPU then plugged it back in and got it to post but ive tried reflashing using nvflash and i keep getting No Nvidia Adapters Found errors ive tried the modded version in another post and a few other older versions as some people suggested it in other posts but none have had any effect Also to note i cannot get my pc to boot if i turn off IGD in the msi bios at all even with the multi display thingy. thats all for now any advice would help thankssss

one more thing to note my gpu does have a bios switch but neither the oc or silent mode seem to change anything regarding the issue

Ok so can you not boot up at all on the gpu?
 
If i unplug the gpu completely then go into bios and enable IGD i can then turn it off and plug it back in but thats the only time
Ok get a picture of the white part number and model number sticker on the back of the card please.

I think its the green pcb 1 @VuurVOS might be able to confirm as 1 of them allows too much voltage to be applied.

mhm. you can mod the black or just get the green. If you want to do it yourself with explanations of different programmers the links, and the difference between the CH341's themselves are here
