Flash R9 280X

[gylmir]

hello guys and girls

 

a while ago i bought my Gigabyte R9 280x it already comes OC out of the box and thats all fine.

 

but is there a way to flash the bios with another bios from a different brand?

just to ge that voltage unlocked to tweak it a little more, and later on watercooling it to clock it higher.

 

If any of you have experience with it let me know.

Is this atleast possible to do or not ?

If no, are there other solutions to get what i need ?

Go into MSI Afterburner and in the options there should be a choice to edit the voltage.

Have you tried restarting MSI Afterburner?

@Bluejay0 yes it asked to restart the app and i did it but still nothing.

 

this is why i ask if its possible to flash it with other brand bios or other ways to unlock it.

I don't think so.

Make sure the BIOS switch on your card is set to 1. I had this problem with my MSI card too, only once it was set to position 1 could I modify the voltage.

@Meladath i put it on 1 and still nothing changed but thx for the tip.

 

if anybody have another solution feel free to share this.

Gigabytes card is usually hard voltage lock, you might need to mod your own BIOS to change the volt.
