Where can I get a 980 ti xtreme ln2 mode bios?

[User !]

I've been trying to oc my 980 ti g1 to 1.6g ,but I cant reach it at 1.243v.Considering I can hit 1.56g at 1.243v , I think if I can unlock the voltage to 1.273v ,1.6g would be a possible oced result.Now I am using a 980 ti xtreme gaming mode bios downloaded from TPU but its max voltage is still 1.243v. I hared that NVIDIA's current drives have limited the max voltage.So I want to flash a ln2 mode bios and see if it can break the limit.

From my experience, the 980Ti is more limited by temperature than voltage

I think you should be looking for something like a k1ngp1n card bios

That's really really right.The temp limit is so unfriendly to OC. Once the temp is around 58℃ or even lower ,the card will decrease its frequency and voltage.I cant see any reason why NVIDIA set such a strict limit. Well, AMD's high-end cards can run at high temperature, high clocks with high voltage.But their oc potential (like Hawaii, Fiji)are much lower than Maxwell......OK,stick to the point, I have changed my card's so-called "WINDFORCE 600w cooling system" to Arctic Extreme III, which looks very cheaper than its original cooler covered with matal material.Though the AC III are lighter, uglier , it do cool the GPU anyway.My card's temperature was under 58℃ when running Fire Strike Extreme(the room temp was about 30℃)with stable voltage and frequency.So I guess I really need an enhanced bios which can provide higher voltage.

Nice suggestion.But I worry EVGA bios wont fit to GIGABYTE card.I will try it tomorrow. No matter how I have other graphics card at hand, so I can still boot up and reflash its bios if the EVGA bios is a wrong option.

I should have realized yours was a gigabyte card with the g1 moniker . My 980 is an EVGA , but a refference card. I'm curious to know if the kingpin bios will work on a gigabyte card, I have my doubts though , good luck.

Edit, I also have a pair of 290x's and your right about how insane it is how hot those cards are designed to run at and still be in the safe zone

Now My card is down and I cant boot up when I am using a r7 360 for output device.I must move My 980 ti off if I want to boot up. REALLY need some help...
Plus,I can boot up in safe mode,but nvflash displayed “Unable to start service.”

What you really need is a lower gpu temperature. 99% of the time when you reduce the temperature of the gpu core it will allow it to operate at higher frequencies using the same voltage, it has nothing to do with the temp limit or anything it's just how the materials used react to temperatures (this applies to most other components as well). Essentially if you had your gpu watercooled it could probably do 1600MHz+ using the same voltage you are using for 1560MHz.

I don't have any experience with nvflash, I've only swapped bios on amd cards... Did you save you original bios?

I just saw another post , and his guy was saying the current version of nvflash is bugged? https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/nvflash-not-flashing-a-msi-1080ti-sea-hawk-ek-x.248763/

You make a few copies of the original bios, you use one of them to modify with a bios editor to alter the Settings you're looking to change, then u load the modified bios. That way you're not screwing around with flashing bios' from different cards onto yours .

That's my knowledge of it from my limited experience. A Very good rule of thumb ,that I have picked up with life in general ,over the years, is if you have to ask questions, you should read more before you do anything. Otherwise you end up frantically creating "help me" threads, looking for help with something you should'nt done in the first place without more study

Good point , didn't think about a bios editor,
random note too, one of my 290xs is an unlocked 290, both are the xfx DD, and none of the bios I got from tpu seemed to work unlocking my card...it was only when I got a legit 290x and flashed that bios to the 290 did I get the card to work unlocked properly
