I would like to ask Jacob if we could get some more detailed Info on this?

Just like it was accomplished with the EVGA GTX 780Ti Classifieds and Kingpin Editions, Which Like EVGA has stated "is not directly supported by EVGA".

Interesting, the labels next to BIOS switch say: -Normal -OC -LN2 The cooling is so effective, unbelievable. And quieter than standard ACX 2.0, makes sense, I guess, with bigger fans. #12

Do those fan profiles keep the fans running even when the GPU temp is below 60 deg? As it stands now I have to keep PrecisionX running all the time to keep my fans spinning. I don't like them sitting idle. Not in 3-way SLI on air. I want them working keeping my cards as cool as possible. They really heat up in 3-way SLI. Well ... two of them do.

The "normal" bios fans are supposed to be turned off until they hit 60 degrees. By mistake I flashed my normal bios without making a back-up. (because my fans dont idle) could someone link me the default normal bios please. Thanks in advance. #20

Would it be possible to link all 3 bios's "normal, oc, LN2" I would be most grateful. I think i have to RMA due to a bit of rattle in a fan and I was worried it would not be accepted if a bios profile was wrong. Thanks again. post edited by Sayjimwoo - 2015/02/07 10:23:47 #22
