What do you need one for? since there are fully unlocked BIOSes available on the internet and the stock BIOS is pretty good when it comes to over voltage options.

Wait so the PT3/PT1 BIOS doesn't work for you?

it might also be a matter of preference as far as I know the P3 bios does not have dynamic voltage control.

That's the point of the PT3. It's not supposed to have dynamic voltage control.

but maybe its not good for him because he wants dynamic voltage control is what i was getting at.

Yeah but then PT1 or the default BIOS should work fine. You can run +200mv on the stock BIOS on most cards. PT1 just lets you run +500mv

Ill be uploading a vapor x bios to the database myself

Ahhzz · Nov 19, 2014

)

eidairaman1 · Nov 19, 2014

W1zz mmanually approves all BIOS submissions so when he's busy there tends to be a build up of submitted unapproved BIOSs

What do a video bios r9 290x with different SSID from my SSID?

fullinfusion · Nov 20, 2014

Got the new paste installed and all Im going to say is WOW!

Room temperature is 2c higher then all other tests :peace:

Why I stress so much on using ArctiClean is because look at how it turns the paste.
It turns it into a wet bag of shit :roll:

To get perfect results use this stuff. It's $5 bucks at FrozenPC for the 2 part solution.
Isoprop Alcohol dont do near as good of a job of cleaning.

well not really a fullcover (unlike a EKWB) but still it covers all that is needed to be.

The reason no one responded to that is because no one understands what it means.

Your english is fine, a little broken but fine.

What card is that? Reference?

and how about going to your profile and filling out your system spec's

Theoretically it should work just fine given that the BIOS supports your VRAM. The good thing with R9 290X cards is that you have the BIOS switch so if you screw up you can recover pretty easily.

and 290, they have a bios switch normal/backup unlike the 290X who have quiet/uber

(but can act as a backup to reflash)

also don't forget to save your original bios before attempting the modification

Not true in all cases, XFX DD as in mine both are clocked the same 1050.
