HI Guys,
I recently got a EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC+ and I stumbled across this page. 
My bios is 84.00.36.00.90 has anyone got a modded bios for this version?
 

cdc-951 is running the exact same card. Try loading version 1 listed on the first page of this thread.

Thank you, worked perfectly. Did a firestrike after new bios. 17160 

ok so I'm looking to get a little more out of my 980ti sc+. currently my stable oc is at 1460mhz. i tried updating my bios with nvflash tool and have no clue if it worked and need some help on that. 
 
But after that i tried bumping up my oc to 1500mhz while monitoring the voltage and it went from 1.21 down to 1.02 (used GPU-Z) and crashed. I'm wondering why that is and im pretty sure thats why i cant oc anymore
 
also note my card is already on my custom water loop and with my 1460mhz oc never goes past 41c
 
any help would be great!! 

Here's a new problem :)
I modified the stock bios and flashed it.
All i did was increase the Base clock to 1392.5MHz and Voltage to 1275mV and it works just fine.
The first problem i noticed is that clock speed stays at max even when i'm doing nothing.
Second. Now GPU-Z, MSI AB and Unigine are showing me different clock speed. Think i did something wrong with the Bios. So if someone could help me out or just modiy the bios for me and send it back would be awesome :)

Looks like you're not running on one the vbioses listed on the first page of this thread as your max voltage was only 1.21v. If the vbios flash worked gpu-z will list the gpu clock, default clock & both boosts at 1418 with everything set to default inside msi afterburner/precision x. You will also see it using 1.274v if you flashed one of the vbioses in this thread.

Having power management mode set to prefer maximum performance inside the global settings tab inside the nvidia control panel can cause the clocks to run at max all the time. Try using the version 2 vbios listed on the first page of this thread.

I've tried that one and i still have the same problem. Clock speed and voltage aren't going down and are stuck at max.

Here are some more things to check...
 
#1 You're running multiple monitors. Fix: Enable mutil display power saver using nvidia inspector.
#2 Your machine has a virus. Fix: Scan computer using malwarebytes.
#3 One or more programs running in the background are using your GPU. Fix: Perform a clean boot of windows.
#4 Power management mode inside the nvidia control panel is set to prefer maximum performance. Fix: Set power management mode to adaptive then reboot your computer.
#5 Running a resolution of 2560x1440 @ 144Hz. Fix: Change refresh rate to 120Hz.
#6 K-Boost is enabled inside Precision X. Fix: Disable K-Boost.
#7 Shadowplay is enabled inside geforce experience. Fix: Disable shadowplay inside geforce experience OR completely uninstall geforce experience from your machine (highly recommended)

Thanks Sajin for the info, but i solved it by making my own bios :) It took some time to understand the Voltage table, but finally it works, and it work great.
Dynamic clock speed and voltage works and i'm at 1501MHz/4001MHz @ 1.274V and temps stays at 37c. Think i can go higher but i don't see the point of that right now.
Thanks for all the help guys.

I am in need of some assistance. I did move up to the 980Ti Classified. My AISC score was 76%. I tried to overclock to 1420 and had issues so I thought I would update the Bios. The update ran successfully but now I get a black screen when booting and it goes into recovery mode. What do I need to do to recover the bios?
 
I am trying loading off of a different card and fix the bios.

The classified has two vbioses, all you need to do is load the LN2 vbios by flipping the vbios switch on the card then simply reboot the system to get the card up and running again. The vbios switch is located by the evbot plug. Once you're up and running on the LN2 vbios and inside windows simply flip the switch back to the normal position and reflash the normal vbios back to the stock vbios.

Thank you. That worked much easier! So any insight on the why? I have the newer bios and used the file on the First post for my bios. I am only able to OC to about 1417- power target at 113% GPU clock offset is 125 and Mem clock offset is at 400. No voltage off set yet. I have tried it with a gpu clock offset at 130 and the voltage off set to 50. I am using the Furmark Test in the precision tool.
 
Also is there any issue running the bios on the LN2 position? I like the red led better than the green. :)
