Flashing BIOS question

[Animator_Alex]

I have an EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX and i'm looking to flash the BIOS to unlock voltage and power limits. My question is. How do I find the right BIOS to install? I've backed up my stock BIOS already. My BIOS number is 80.80.31.00.82. Thanks!

Do a lil bit more research into it to verify what I'm saying before you try it but I believe instead of finding the right BIOS, you should be able to edit it instead and place voltages you deem appropriate for the different levels of clock states of GPU boost. I believe there's a Kepler BIOS tweaker that you can find, just like how there's a Maxwell one. This would be much safer doing that than trying your luck at matching online the BIOS your card uses.

 

Word of warning though should this method be available to you. Don't trust that the card will run at the voltage you set it at in the BIOS. In light loads, usually it will run at that voltage or be negligibly off from it if checked with a multimeter, but under heavy load, for my card (EVGA GTX 960 SSC) the difference can be as high as 4% under 100% load (1.243v set in BIOS runs upwards of 1.292v in reality). If you want your card to last, keep that in mind when setting a maximum voltage in the BIOS editor that you'd want to feed to the GPU core. For my Maxwell card, anything over 1.3v degrades it, idk what that limit is for the 780.

 

And just as a reminder, flashing your BIOS is the easiest way to turn a graphics card into a worthless gadget you can play catch with should things go wrong. Whichever method you choose, do this at your own risk, we're all not responsible for any damages that should take place.
