You are awesome! Thanks a lot - Seems that this one worked So I guess it was really just a signing-issue. Can I stay in this mode or is it better to disable the testsigning again?

So you think the "-4 -5" could have caused the issue? Then I'll try it again... A few minutes ago (before i read your post) I tried it again with a USB bootdisk and even modded several driver revisions with the proper hardware ids on my own - But when the installation started, it aborts 1-2 minutes later :/ I mean the flashing process goes without any problems.. I can't figure out the possible problem. - - - Updated - - - So you think the "-4 -5" could have caused the issue? Then I'll try it again...

I can't figure out the possible problem.

So... a few hours ago I tried to flash the modded vBios for my 800m - I had to use "nvflash -4 -5 -6 *.rom", because there was a mismatch in device IDs. Afterwards I rebooted and Windows didn't recognize my card Was just listed as some sort of general video card and I also couldn't install drivers or read it out properly in GPU-Z (clock rates were at 0 Mhz). Then I had to reflash the stock vbios - I tried the process two times, but there was the same issue.... Do you have any suggestions for me? Below you'll find a GPU-Z screen of my GPU at the stock vbios.

Yeah, I'm also impressed with the results. But the factory thermal pads were total rubbish - Once I removed the heatsink and saw how they were pasted (needed around 20 minutes to get this "chewing gum" off) I was sure that there must be a significant improvement. Did you already try to OC core & mem of the 880m with this vBios? What were your results? Might try that instead of undervolting, while watching the temps and trying to keep the voltage @stock

Just wanted to let you know that I successfully renewed the thermal paste on my GT60 (CPU & GPU) - The results are almost unbelievable! Below you will find my results of 30min Furmark runs. In both runs the vBios was the same and I didn't touch voltages or the clocks - "Cooler Boost" was activated so the fan was running at max. speed both times. FURMARK BEFORE: Hitting 91-93C and the 880m started throttling after ~5 minutes - I guess without throttling (keeping the boost clock of 992MHZ) it could have reached at least 95 degrees. With throttling the core clock went down to under 500Mhz sometimes. AFTER: No throttling at all! The GPU kept the Boost clocks the whole run without any issues. The temperature was 81-82C - This ist truly amazing in my opinion. For the repasting i used the Gelid GC-Extreme after reading a few comparisons. Maybe theres also a bit room left for OC?! We will see ;-)

Okay that doesn't sound promising :/ Unfortunately I'm running extremly high temps in my MSI GT60 (up to 93 degree under heavy load), so it throttles a lot at the moment. But we will see - Maybe I'm lucky with my sample. I will also do a repaste today with Gelid GC Extreme and hope that I can lower the temps by at least 5C.

Thanks for your work! I'm also going to flash your 880m VBios and will try to get a little undervolt to manage the temps.... Will post my results if everything goes well.
