how does the P870DM-G BIOS compare to Prema's BIOS mod? Because it's blocked off on a hardware level.

The primary GPU heatsink is fine. This mod is for those that want to use both fans to cool and do a bit of overclocking of the GPU. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Last I heard they're taking a break from TI!

Just an update I decided to by the chip programmer to see if I can flash a self-modded vbios with a higher TDP. Things are gonna get interesting.

@J95 382.53 is now available. waiting for modded INFs.

Anyone watching American Gods? My work is doing the Australian DVD / BD release so we get the episodes in and I get to watch at the office

dude, that text colour is terrible...can barely read it.

Black screen because nvidia changed something in the drivers a few years ago. Sent from my SM-T560NU using Tapatalk

It's great that these modded INFs support the MSI 1070 I have

Man, I totally forgot about this thread LOL I guess I answered my own question then that's eurocom's ebay store.

New driver is available. 381.89 it is. Just waiting on @J95 to weave their magic. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

it doesn't fix the blank screen issue...at all.

yes, you can skip the vbios flashing.

Hopefully this will make my experience better. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Nice work!

Driver 378.78 is available. Need the modded infs to install. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

if only i had the game.

http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4405 well that didn't take long!

awesome stuff @J95 will be downloading and install it tonight.

to allow upgrade cards to work. a 1070 doesn't work with the stock driver because it does an ID check before installing in a P870DM-G, but use a modded driver and it works.

the thermal adhesive seems to be working well at holding down the heatsinks. the thermal tape just didn't have enough stickiness to stay on and a heatsink would get loose when i would reopen the laptop to see just how effective the adhesion was and, as said, it wasn't great. So I used Arctic Silver Alumina thermal adhesive to attach the heatsinks to the exposed chips. I figured I may as well since I am not gonna resell the part later on so sticking it on was a good choice. None of the adhesive went onto other components on the board and it looks pretty clean. That being said the temps were pretty much the same as the 3 pipe 980M heatsink. On cool days the idle temp was 29 C but on hot days it can go up to at least 34-35 with fans at 100%. the load temps were also higher due to higher ambient temps so BF1 would hit about 68 C which is about 3-4 C higher than on a cool day. the temps haven't gone completely nuts post modification but have pretty much stayed the same as the 980M heatsink.

Ended up using thermal adhesive to attach the mini heatsinks to the gpu. Bye bye resale value! Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

I am using thermal tape but it's very thin and it doesn't seem to stick to the chips all that well. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Here's what the heatsink looks like installed. The mini-heatsinks don't seem to stay on and while I am tempted to glue the heatsinks in place though the resale value will go down. Oh well. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk

Running the usual tests and being that today is a warm day here in Sydney, Australia, the temps were about the same and stayed below 70 celsius.
