BoutDrama Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Is there some software I can use to flash the bios for my GTX 680ftw's? I want to unlock the voltage controls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Yes. Just flash the BIOS to unlock it, but before doing that clarify whether it voids the warranty or not. Edited December 17, 2012 by d6bmg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wevsspot Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 BD - I know of two working and relatively "safe" tools for BIOS unlocking and flashing your card; NiBiTor http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,26/ KGB http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?284014-KGB-Kepler-BIOS-Editor-Unlocker/page6&s=5bc811e349676d920d1489e751b5a4ed Before doing ANYTHING with your BIOS make sure and create a backup copy of your current BIOS using GPUz. Read ALL instructions for each of the utilities I linked above before attempting to unlock, modify or flash a new BIOS to your video card. Use at your own risk. I assume no responsibility or make any guarantees (implied or otherwise) that these are completely safe tools or that you won't brick your card.

El_Capitan Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I don't think you can unlock the voltage controls with just a BIOS flash. It's the major complaint of many GTX 600 enthusiasts. Nvidia has a tight reign on keeping them locked. It's why an unlocked and overclocked HD 7970 kicks its butt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Can't you unlock the voltage upper limit percentages though? I could have swore I read somewhere that you might be able to change the upper limit to 135% or something like that? Please correct or educate me if I'm wrong. I want to make sure I'm providing solid information Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
