BIOS Trouble

[virtualTune]

Hi guys and gals,
I flashed my BIOS for the first time today on my gtx 670 following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR8656az8sU

Now I can't up the TDP above 100% or else the card crashes as soon as boost kicks in, topping out at 1294MHz and 1.23V

I don't seem to be able to control the maximum voltage anymore. When TDP is set to 145% it actually spikes at 207% before crashing ^^

Any ideas?

Thx in advance!

What 670 do you have, is it a reference model?

its a Windforce 3x OC

You won't be able to flash the BIOS on a Windforce 3x, all non reference cards use their own BIOS made by Gigabyte, Asus etc etc. Even if it is a reference PCB, if it has a non reference cooler on it, it will still use a custom BIOS.

You can only flash reference model cards that have a reference cooler with another BIOS unfortunately.

No probs
Sadly one of the very few downsides to having a non reference card is not being able to flash the BIOS.

I wonder if you couldn't edit the custom BIOS though...

You could try, there are BIOS editing tools out there but I have no experience of using them.
Be careful though, you could brick your card if you do something wrong.

Hell no I won't try that I thought someone experienced in CS might have done it before xD
