Hi everyone, I noticed that the BIOS for my RTX 4080 PNY EPIC-X [Non-OC] wasn't available, so I believe I have uploaded it correctly. You can find it here:
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/261909/261909


Since I’m building a custom liquid cooling system, I’d like to overclock my GPU. However, since I can’t modify the power limit on my card, I was thinking of flashing the BIOS from the PNY EPIC-X OC version. I noticed that the one available on the site is from 2022. Can I still flash it? Are there any updates? Where can I find them? I'll be using NVIDIA NVFlash to do it.


Thanks in advance!

Here is one from 2023 although it looks like to me that it is also 320W max? ..........

VGA Bios Collection: PNY RTX 4080 16 GB | TechPowerUp
I found this BIOS: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/252610/252610

Upon carefully reading the BIOS settings, I noticed the term SKU.
To possibly achieve more stability and security of operation, it might be better to stick as closely as possible to the original values of my card.

This way, I believe I’ll avoid potential problems both with the BIOS change and in the future. Do you agree?

I own the exact card you have. I also know PNY is a relatively large NVidia chip purchaser, and as is usually the case, those are the Nvidia partners that get the better binned chips, to which the OC model cards have first priority. So yes, I would not bother even trying to get the same result as an OC model, and definitely not anything higher than that, as the non OC card chips may have a higher leakage rate. It WOULD help some to have water cooling, but I would still think the lower binned chip would not be as stable at frequencies higher than it was tested at.
