Bios Flash Voltmod

[S][R_KILL@LOT]

So i wana flash my bios with a higher core volt..

i got this gigabytes utility for flashing bioses ... dont know what its called right now.... it comes bundled with every gigabyte card..

 

anyway i heard somewhere that i dont have to create a boot disk and do the flashing from dos, but i can do it from windows with that utility...

 

so is that true and, is tht proces as harmless as it seems?

 

also what program should i use to check my current core volt?

 

and how much should i increase the core colt ( 0.1V maybe? ) ?

[markiemrboo]

NiBiTor (edit BIOS)

WinFox (Leadtek Windows flash thing)

 

That's what I used...

Winfox should work for gigabyte cards too... or should i use what i got from gigabyte.. i thinks its called " @VGA "...

 

and the proces is relativly harmles... right? :-)... its nwe i dont wana mess it up just yet ;-)

Should do.

 

I flashed mine about 20 times successfully. If you've got half a brain I am sure you'll be alright

doesnt hurt to ask

Stock should be 1.2v and I ran... 1.3v

allright thanks again...

 

should be bac soon with results... ;-)

 

EDIT:

downloaded NiBiTor and under the voltage section i can onlychange from 1.1v, 1.2v( current),1.4V

..and when i use the "extend voltage table" check box i get the 1.5V option..

 

how`d you get it @ 1.3V?

 

and would it work fine @ 1.4V... or is it overkill?
