Flash another brand vbios into GTX 1060 Strix

[takanome]

Hello, just like the title says, i'd like to know if I can flash a different brand vbios into my Asus GTX 1060 6GB ROG Strix OC edition, I am having some throttling problems with my GPU, I backed up the vbios it came with, and flashed the one that is in techpowerup collection, sadly it didn't help me with the problem I am facing, so, I'd like to know if it's possible to flash a different vbios into the GPU from the techpowerup collection, maybe a different brand GTX1060 6GB or the Asus ROG Strix version without factory OC, it should be almost the same vbios but with different clock speeds.

By the way, if anyone may know about really high TDP readings in GPU-Z or other monitoring software (GPU is not overheating, nor causing crashes or BSODs), I would really appreciate it if anyone has faced that problem before and has found a way to fix it, there is a thread with a possible fix, sadly, it doesn't apply for Pascal GPUs, maybe somebody has faced a similar issue, I would appreciate any advice.

Throttling is due to heat.

You cant flash a different bios to those cards.

Then I am pretty done for, the GPU has really low temperatures, but it's reading power consuption really rare, tested it on another PC and it's the same result, anyways, thank you very much for answering my question, I will keep the bios and try to look for a solution of that power consuption and TDP readings which are just ridiculous.

Flashing another VBIOS would do nothing than brick your card, for some reason the TDP is reading at 381.1W's, check with HWinfo and see if that also rings true, if so your 1060 really is broken

Yes, I am pretty much done for, GPU is most likely broken, I already requested a refund for it, good thing seller the seller described it as it follows: "Never been used for mining. Just light gaming for a few months. Card is pretty much new." and he is right, it looks like new, but it works meh, waiting for a refund already, tried to look for a way to fix it before requesting refund, anyway thank you guys, I will give up on this GPU.
