Dentnu Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks svl7 for the bios. I just tried to flash the bios but nvflash 1.28.0.1 dos version keeps telling me error I need to use a newer version of nvflash. I saw in the 3 page of this thread someone was able to use nvflash 5.134.0.1 windows version to flash the card. I have never used the windows version of nvflash and do not want to mess up my cards can someone please provide me with the commands I need to use to be able to flash both on my cards ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CattleCorn Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hey all, I'm new to the site and never flashed a GPU BIOS before. Just wanted to say that I just flashed all 3 of my 780's to the new BIOS successfully. Thanks for this. I'll be checking out the site more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStealth Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hi svl7How is fan control for ACX bios. Is it fixed speed control, someone who tried it on regular card, care to shere his maximum fan RPM with 100% fan. Because with older 36 version my reference card is speeding only up to 3.4k rpm, while with the modded one and reference 36 bios it goes to 4.5k max speed .

skyn3t Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 the features in the OC edition are in the EVGA 780 - SC ACX - 80.10.37.00.0B - 'OC edition v00' too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Would you advise against using this on a water cooled reference model SC 780? No, that won't be a problem at all. Thanks svl7 for the bios. I just tried to flash the bios but nvflash 1.28.0.1 dos version keeps telling me error I need to use a newer version of nvflash.

I have never used the windows version of nvflash and do not want to mess up my cards can someone please provide me with the commands I need to use to be able to flash both on my cards ? All you need is nvflash filename.rom If you want to flash a vbios from a different vendor use the -6 parameter.

Because with older 36 version my reference card is speeding only up to 3.4k rpm, while with the modded one and reference 36 bios it goes to 4.5k max speed . I didn't adjust the fans of the ACX as I don't have an ACX cooler and don't know whether it needs adjusting and what needs to be adjusted... Note that the SCX and non-SCX will have different fan behavior, even with the stock. With which mod did you get 4.5k? I guess with the ACX since that one has a higher fan speed in it. the features in the OC edition are in the EVGA 780 - SC ACX - 80.10.37.00.0B - 'OC edition v00' too? Yes, except for the fan (see above). Well it's all in the read me file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi svl7 I'm on a reference card. With both 36 and 37 SCX stock BIOSes flashed with max fan set to 100%, i'm not able to speed over 3.5k the fan. Didn't still tested your modded BIOS so that's why i'm asking about that, if someone tryed it on nonSCX card and how the fans are acting With 36 stock 780 bios and your modded Nvidia GTX 780 - 80.10.36.00.01 - 'OC edition v00' the fans are speeding with 100% set up to 4500rpms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyn3t Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The first OC bios is more stable than SC ACX (0B) bios, I know the first bios was not for SC ACX GPU it has low GPU clock at stock compared to the SC ACX GPU. This bios can even hit 1201MHz stable it does crash right after with the first bios I could hit 1241MHz stable voltage Memory OC 100MHz and up.

NRD Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Well I managed to get 1228/3649 out of this new ACX bios with it's extra 0.012v on my SC ACX, but I have not tried the stock oc bios so I cannot comment on that. Best I could manage before was 1215/3549 in valley 77.3fps. Edit: Forgot to say "thank you" to svl7 for this bios, where are my manners? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a winner there, how does ACX bios act in terms of fan control ? 1201 crashing, sound like driver problems with you. How does +100 mem translate in terms of real freq ? And last question, do you monitor your voltage, are you sure that you're applying what you set in Voltage section for real ? It seems that you get no benefits at all with overvoltage, compared to your stock bios, witch sounds strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cl2500 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Someone asked this a little earlier - is it possible to take the stock EVGA 780 ACX bios and modify it so that the fan runs at a minimum of 20%? I find that 40% is noticeable in a silent build. As a workaround, I was thinking about using flashing the reference Nvidia bios to the ACX card, since that should lower the fan speed to a more acceptable 26% (...the idle speed of reference GTX 780's). However, I would lose the factory ACX overclock. If any of the modders could provide the EVGA 780 ACX bios with only the fan change, that would be awesome.

cl2500 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks for the reply. The minimum rpm of the SC ACX 780 is actually 1300rpm (40%) which is audible (...at least for those who try to have quiet rigs). I think I'll give your modded OC ACX bios from the first post a try, and then use it to set up a manual fan curve with 20-30% minimum, that's a good idea (...and it should allow me to keep the factory overclock, right?). I like the boosted clocks of the SC ACX 780 card, but they really made the fan too loud at idle. It really doesn't need to be that high, since idle temperatures are already low even with reference cooling. I'll apply the modded ACX bios and let folks know how it goes.

One thing you have to consider is the price, you already known another think you don't know is all the benchs a did was with 3570k stock clocks with intel stock cooler. Right now I'm running a shoebox . So my rig is down for complete. So by this weekend I goibg to put my hole back "I wish I can finish it" but at least my acx going under water on hydro's it will be here friday and I'm waiting on my third rad to arrive too. Even if I don't finish my rig my 3570k and my 780's will be under water for some serius bench and by that svl7 will realese another beast bios and I will be right behind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStealth Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi all, Just to share my thoughts regarding the new EVGA 780 - SC ACX - 80.10.37.00.0B - 'OC edition v00' flashed on a reference card - Max fan RPM@100% 3300rpm GPU temp idle ~35*C Nvidia GTX 780 - 80.10.36.00.01 - 'OC edition v00' Max fan RPM@100% 4300rpm ; GPU temp idle sub 30*C Loaded temperatures are exceeding 10-15*C So higher fan limits, or modded normal .37 SC bios would be highly appreciated. No problems with stability/overclockability or whatsoever with both of them so far, great BIOSes to be exact with boost removed and idle state Volts/freq reduced also max Votls/limits increased compared to reference ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Soo... ACX and normal vbios both allow for 100% fan speed? (Well my modified normal 780 vbios should, but the ACX... up to 100% is possible?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
