flashing GPU V-bios help

[Alireza]

hi 

i have a Zotac GTX 970 AMP Extreme Core Edition with these setting

base cloak 1227 mhz

boost cloak 1388 mhz

memory is at 3600 mhz

i overclocked it to 

boost 1507 mhz

memory 3746 mhz

power limit 106% with afterburner

but i noticed that my card doesn't have a 0% fan stop mode

if i flash the bios to a Asus Strix 970 oc that happen to have the same memory company and slightly different power limit

is it possible that the fan stop mode work and then I can overclock the gpu again to the setting that i applied now?

i have an iGPU too and i already have a back up of the bios that right now is running on the card

if anything went wrong or card didnt work with the bios

can i use the igpu to flash it back to the previous one?

As long as your card has the same PCIe power connector config as the bios donor card does, you can do this. 

 

and btw, instead of telling us the base and boost, better mention clock speeds it runs at. With GPU boost 2.0 the actual clock speed rarely lines up with base and boost.

better not. It will work but your power reading will be wrong, which is a bad thing.

how bad?

i can safely overclock and test every single mhz without heading to any problem and my main question is...

is it gonna work and do i have a way to get a back?

because worst come to worse

i would want to be able to flash it back if it doesn't work

From my experience, that causes the card to suddenly drop to base clock under full load for no reason and it doesnt always do it either.

Since you have iGPU, you can. As long as the flash isnt interrupted (like a sudden system shutdown) you can always recover from it.
