NVflash Update

[SevenSeas]

Hello world! Stumbled upon a "nvflash error: pci subsystem id mismatch" while trying to flash my acer nitro 5 with 120-130w vBios from different notebook model. Mismatch goes for a single letter (25c/24e) in a board name. Maybe it keeps me from bricking my machine but curiosity persists...
The thing is, that for instance - TUF notebooks only rated at around 80watts of power from factory - easily reach 140w mark after flashing, so it is clear that possibility of drawing more power and having a better perfomance is not limited to hardware at most cases.

Old version of nvflash with disabled checks (for founders 2080s and such) is unable to see Ampere family cards at all so here are my humble questions:

Is there a reliable bios editing software such as nibitor for current gen?

How to contact Developer of a modded nvflash (I am really willing to pay this guy in a hard cash if he updates)

Is there a way to disable hardware checks in a current version of nvflash? (args -4 -5 -6 and -j are no go anyways)

As far as I am aware the answer to all your questions atm is "no," unfortunately.

This is the tool to use, but playing with fire gets people burned.

NVIDIA NVFlash with Board Id Mismatch Disabled v5.590.0 Download

This is a patched version of NVIDIA's NVFlash. On Turing cards, NVFlash no longer allows overriding of the "board ID mismatch" message through comm

Fyi cooling is paramount along side ambient temperature in mobile computers...

That error is to stop you from bricking your card

Ty for reply, but... This version says "no nvidia adapter" as it has no support for AMPERE (rtx 30xx) family(last updated jan 2020). Only if someone could contact dev who made this mod to tweak the latest version...

P.S. Already flashed asus books(using latest 2021 nvflash with board checker in place) with 140w bios (3060,3070) - works very well but requires additional cooling stand (not an issue at all). My problem is 3070 family in acer laptops having slightly different numbers and failing due to Board ID checks...

Use this.

nvflash.exe

drive.google.com

I believe this is 5.692 or 5.670 (whatever was from december 2020) with checks bypassed. Was taken from another 3080 notebook thread posted here a few months ago. fc /b in command prompt shows two byte sequences changed. This was tested as working on 3070/80/90 (do not use -6).

Note: one person with a desktop 3090 (Strix) who tried flashing a FE bios on it got a black screen with a bios post code VGA error and had to reflash the backup and switch the bios switch back after booting to reflash so I would not suggest trying to flash a fe 3080 or 3090 bios with an AIB Bios with this, as no one has been brave enough to try that (e.g. Kingpin 520W or 1kw XOC Bios on a 3090 FE).

(do not use -6)

Still refuses to flash the 3070 025e board with board ID mismatch and subsystem mismatch, sadly... But which exact command to use if not -6" ?"

 

[eidairaman1]

nvflash -? Or /? to know what commands are available you have to unlock the bios first

Use this.

Thanks! Flashed nitro 5 with 140w FW - now it pulls like a freaking tank! Stock nitro is unable to pass 6699 memory celling. Good for me that we have mother nature's AC unit in place and temperatures during winter time won't really gonna bother. Different problem lies within tiny 170w powerbrick that won't let it run at constant load falling back to P5, will write more after buying beefier unit.

How did you flash it? You just said it didn't work....

I did. Just because nobody really cared to tell if NVFLASH had any command input other than -6 (4, 5, -J etc really are non-functional). Yet it does fire up with -A but sometimes blocks .rom files with no apparent reason as they have similar numbers with working ones.

Which input worked? 4 or 5? How are thermals?

is there any tutorial for this ?
