FOR erbuerger Re: BIOS update for select 770/760 Double BIOS SKU's 3 hours ago (permalink)

I just installed a 02G-P4-2774-KR (not a dual bios card) and the thing is insanely loud at idle as soon as Windows boots. Louder than my last card under heavy load. At least 5-10x louder than it was idle. Apparently there's no way to drop it from the 41% minimum it's currently running at, so should I return it before it's too late and not bother registering it?
 
From looking around here and elsewhere apparently it's a big issue and I was totally unaware of it. Also, does the EVGA Precision X program even work with this card? I tried manually adjusting the fan speed from 41% to 100% to compare and there's no change in sound whatsoever. Other programs like nvidia inspector confirm the adjusted 100% fan speed, but again no change. Is the card defective? Why is 41% so loud and as loud as 100%? Is it always running at 100% and being reported wrong at 41%? Because there is literally no difference in sound this thing is creating. Super loud all the time.
 
 
I recommend you see start aa bios update, if you have registered your card? http://www.evga.com/community/myProducts.asp
then reinstall PRECISION X.

Have you looked to see if one of the fans are stuck? Also, use your camera on your phone to record the fans. The camera only record at a certain fps, so should slow the fan down a little, like when recording a helicopter and seeing the blades barely moving.. See if you can see a difference after adjusting fan speed and then hitting apply.

In case someone is still looking to upgrade their 02G-P4-2765-KR have a look here:

Ready and waiting! Don't forget us!!!!
 
Paste from above ya they don't care about this version its like an unwanted.
I think best buy made it not evga with the hole zero help with it .
But I am happy with them except for the different memory Samsung and some other company with an E I forget. CPU-z showed me I just forgot what brand the other ddr5 was
 

ELPIDIA.

And why does this one need an update?

ELPIDIA. Ya that's it thank you. well Update so it can use memory in SLI surround. 314.22 327.32. drivers always work for SLI Surround. newer drivers are to demanding I think its because I got duped buy having Samsung ddr5 and  ELPIDIA ddr5 on cards that suppose to be the same. I not sure if its the cuase of none SLI support but its the only thing I found that can explain it .
 
I look at as like dual memory has to be the same so do the cards right? well the cards are the same but the hard wares different
same brand same version same store same self I think that is about perfect on my end lol but I cant see any other flaw.
 

I think that is NVidia not EVGA. you didn't get duped into buying different memory, it's just how it is required to be done as one manufacturer for memory can not make enough. For overclocking purposes, it may have made a difference, but it shouldn't have an effect on SLI capabilities.

I don't blame anyone really .But not being my first ride on the reasons why cards do or don't do what I want.
My first mixing and linking cards. My first date mixing cards was "2x voodoo 2 PCI 12mg accelerators" Cross linked and the feed source was a" VooDoo AGP 8MB" playing quack 2 and unreal . I have even linked then from separate computers . Day when you could be brutal .
 
Ya the only not perfect thing about my setup is the fact that the memory doesn't match .  The more I think About it the more I see a problem when using the different ddr5 mem . I bet they are very different . I will find out in a moment when I grab the data.
 
oh SLI surround yes when it demands perfection. but SLI max it runs great. I need SLI surround. 

Bringing this back up... I have a B-Stock version of the 02G-P4-2776-KR and don't see the download link.  I contacted support and was told there is no update for my card.
 
Can anyone tell me if the B-Stock cards are handled differently?  It's the same card, right, the BIOS should work on it?

Is there not a bios update for the 770 classified?
