Not really, still using non-IMPI 4901 bios version

Hello fellows, Recently I've possessed Asus B85M-E mobo paired with i5-4670k and would like to squeeze some additional performance out of it. As far as I remember, initially ASUS, ASRock and few others supported some overclocking capabilities on lower-end chipsets and according to Techpowerup article B85M-E was one of the supported ones. Also I remember Intel was REALLY unhappy about it and pushed vendors to disable the feature. Currently the link on the BIOS is dead and recent BIOS versions doesn't have even traces of overclockability, even BCLK change is blocked. Not sure if it's possible to return it by downgrading to an older BIOS, I would surely try, yet I wasn't able to find the correct BIOS version. Seven years past the event Google isn't particularly helpful, most of the offered links are long gone. I would appreciate any tips on this matter, thank you in advance

FYI chip was labelled as tu106-400a-a1 so it is a genuine RTX 2070. Yet it came DOA and seller isn't answering, this is probably the reason why it was cheaper than a market :)

Hello folks! I have Asus P9X79 WS/IPMI on my hands and it seems like this board doesn't get much love from Asus for some reason - there is no page on Asus site for it, only for P9X79 WS, yet boards look quite different. The only BIOS update I could find for IMPI version is 1208 curtesy of https://www.win-raid.com/ and it came from a seller with non-IMPI 4901. With any luck, are there any users of this board, are there any benefits of going stock BIOS? Thanks!

Thanks! I have a plan to watercool it anyway, so quality of a cooler doesn't mean much, yet good to know. With any lick, do you know who manufacture them for Dell? Current Dell's partner seem to be PNY yet their 2070 blower looks different.

Hello guys! I've noticed this graphics card in a local second-hand parts forum with a very compelling price, yet I couldn't find any solid proof this is a genuine part. According to seller's story gpu seem to originate of some Dell PC, yet I couldn't find any mentions of such piece currently being sold on a Dell's site or Google. On photos it seem to have a reference PCB for 2070, but not the cooler and there are no visible stickers of any sort and I'm not a hell of an expert in the cause. With any luck, may be some of you have delt with Dell computers and could prove they are actually putting inside custom parts like this? What would help a lot, thanks in advance!
