I am trying to fix my GPU which have stability problems (Showing artifacts) at low voltage, but I cant change or update the bios, I keep getting errors and GPUZ
If I read the bios using techpowerup GPUZ I get this bios https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/258315/258315 but I presume I should expect https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/231517/asus-rx6700xt-11264-210122

Does that mean my card have been flashed manually before (I bought it used)?

Why are you trying to flash the GPU, both the linked Vbios's are the same, flashing will not make a difference.

I have artifacts when my computer idles/simple games, but nothing when I play AAA games, so I want to raise the minimum vcore, so I would like to modify the bios, I tried using MorePowerTool to apply it, but could not get that to work either

The problem only started recently, if I could I would have.

Replace thermalpads and paste then.

You haven't flashed your card yet correct?

Already tried repasting, didn't change the thermal pads though! But I cant see how bad thermal pads would make this error though, why does it work when the card is hard pressed and warm, but not when cold, I would expect it to be opposite to be the case then :/

Find a pcb repair station like northridgefix then

Not worth it, here in Denmark such service would probably cost 600kr/hour (80-100$)

So I am only looking for stuff to try myself
Good luck then. Typically when your issue just started after having it for a bit either hardware is having a fault or something in you os is, which has nothing to do with the firmware.

No but shouldnt I be able to up the low limits of vcore with a modified bios? I dont care if it uses a bit more energy by raising minimum gpu voltage from 850-900 to a bit higher to test if that solves the issue.

But I cant test that when I cant upload the bios to the card, given the errors I showed in the screenshot
