Guys I have a question.

 

I have the Asus 970 mini card. Is there any way to lower the fan speed? I mean the minimum is like 26% atm and the fan speed is 1350rpm.

I would like to have it around 20% and 1000rpm.

 

This is what Maxwell Bios Tweaker shows me:

Try changing "Value01" to 0 and RPM01 & RPM11 to 0, just to see if changing fan speeds will even work.

 

If it works then try changing value01 to 20, and RPm01 to 1000 & RPM11 to 0.

 

Keep in mind this won't really change MSI afterburner's settings on the main page where you can edit clock speed etc.

 

You will have to make a custom fan curve to get it to work most likely.

Hello, I did as you said, flashed the card, restarted and turned on the GPU via Device Manager. But I guess it didnt work.

The fan was still running with the same speed. 

 

Guess the 970mini cant be altered, too bad  :(

 

Cheers anyway

It's possible it may be such a niche thing that it doesn't have support for being changed, maybe keep checking the newest updates of MBT & nvidia flash, and see if there's any updates to them that allow you to change it.

Does anyone know of a way to achieve this on AMD cards? I used to have the ability to make a fan curve with 0% RPM with my old hd7850. Now my new r9 280x is too loud for my liking and I would like to have the 0% unlocked again :) when I make a fan curve that includes anything under 20% the fans will just stay at their 20% speed since this seems to be the minimum in the bios

Unfortunately, it turns out this doesn't work on a Zotac 970 AMP Omega edition. For some reason, it won't let me flash the bios. Or is this just normal and I did something wrong after flashing the bios. Anyways, here : http://imgur.com/GtSi9DM

Have you tried ATITool on the newer cards? I really cant be bothered testing it on my AMD system but you used to be able to do it without any BIOS tweaks, just using the utility.

I would say check and see if you can find a newer version of nvflash & maxwell bios tweaker, it may of been updated to fix these types of things since I made the guide quite awhile ago.

NVFlash is 5.206.0.1 (pretty sure it's the newest one, at least it says so on TPU) and MBT version is v1.36, and I'm also pretty sure that's the newest version.

Hmm, when @Gofspar gets up soon, he may know what to do about the error you're getting. He messes around with a lot of BIOS flashing for overclocking, and may know how to fix it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried it. It does not seem to be working with the r9 series cards (at least not with mine)

You will need to use a modified version of NVFlash which bypasses the certificate check

This was just what I needed. I was struggling with the decision between two cards I own: an MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G and a reference-cooled ASUS GTX 980. Pretty much the only reason I already didn't sell my 970 was due to it having a built-in 0 RPM mode.

 

Many thanks!  :wub:

There's some good news and bad news I guess. Good news : The nvflash version @Jarsky linked worked. Flashed the new bios successfully. Bad news : I think my card is a $375 paperweight now. Monitor is blank and it won't display anything. I have no idea what happened. I made sure to do the device manger disable thing, and I don't really know what else could go wrong. Here's the things that I did step by step with pics. 

 

 

1. Here's the tools and the default rom made with GPU-Z. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581276345839169536/photo/1

2. Here's all the tools and the default rom inside the nvflash folder. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581276734365917184/photo/1

3. Here's the default rom opened with MBT. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581277184397946880/photo/1

4. Here's the edited rom titled "Custom.rom" (I know it says GM204.rom, changed that later) https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581277184397946880/photo/1

5. The "Custom.rom" with all the tools inside the nvflash folder. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581277835496566784/photo/1

6. This is the default rom that I saved yesterday. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581278094075416576/photo/1

7. Then I disabled the graphics card in Device Manager. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581278408040026112/photo/1

8. cmd. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581278731169222656/photo/1

9. Into nvflash. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581278933372432384/photo/1

10. nvflash -6 "Custom.rom" https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581279131502911488/photo/1

11. Pressed "y" 2 times. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581279300118179840/photo/1

12. Just rebooted, didn't touch anything. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581279503357341696/photo/1

13. Enabled the graphics card again in Device Manager. https://twitter.com/FTWHashtag/status/581279657858732032/photo/1

And now... it's just blank with nothing. I didn't reboot yet. The blue led that indicates that the monitor is glowing, so the monitor is on, it's just displaying nothing. Should I try to reboot?

yep, just rebooted. Can confirm. It's fuqqed. It boots into the bios / uefi just fine, but it goes into that blank screen state again when going into windows. This is really nice. CPU doesn't even have iGPU built in, so it looks like I'll be using a Pentium B950 all-in-one system for a few months. Nice.

It sounds like its outputting through a different interface when Windows loads, do you have 2 different cables plugged in? Tried toggling the source on  your monitor once booted? 

It shouldn't be stuffed if it flashed succesfully and you can load the UEFI
