Lol, there is still so many myths about flashing bios and people actually believe in them. People, this is 2018, not 1998, bios updates are easy and when file is provided by manufacturer themselves then they do RMA gpus, motherboards, mice and all other devices which failed during flashing.
I know they are easy, i have done them, BUT, them being easy doesnt mean there arent 10,000 new GPU owners who see a post , on some random forum abotu getting an extra possible 5% of Perf if they flash their Bios/ , then they try it, and end up with a bricked card. I dont need to defend my point, take a minute, and search "bricked Bios" or "bad Flash" in the TPU search thread bar, and You can see for yourself. I dont lose anything if people damage their cards, but i DO care about the TPU community, and if I can advocate people learning more , and bricking less, ill do it. only a fool would recommend not to study a process (especially one that can potentially ruin a very expensive component). I have too many times, tried to help members recover GPU's that they bricked , which for me would have been really a simple process, but the bad flash happened just the same. something being easy has nothing to do, with wether or not some people will screw the process up (sadly).
Also, i didnt bring up any myths about flashing, i simply recommended caution over carelessness. Ive been working with PC's for a very long time, and I have learned over the years , NEVER underestimate how badly , even the simplest things can go , when a person doesnt use common sense, and good judgement.
