I installed the BIOS successfully, set a fancurve, but noticed if I close the PrecisionX software, the fanspeed drops to 0 (monitored in GPUZ) and stays like that, never increasing fanspeed, letting the GPU get to 70+ C. Any ideas how to fix?

There is currently a bug with AMD (motherboards) that may not allow the flash to complete properly. We are looking into it.




Thanks for looking into this! This is why I keep coming back to EVGA. Keep up the awesome work.

Having the same issues as xilex above.  Any solution?

Any progress on the AMD motherboard bug?

"There is currently a bug with AMD (motherboards) that may not allow the flash to complete properly. We are looking into it."
 
The problem appears to be that with AMD motherboards it cannot properly read the SubVendor ID needed to identify the card as one of yours.  The same problem with getting all the features of the Precision X OC software (which I've been discussing in another thread).  I say that because when I try to do the update from an elevated command prompt I can see the error message that others are missing by running it from within Windows.  Namely, it is reporting that it is not the right card so the BIOS cannot be applied.
 
Can't you make versions for registered users that forgoes any make/model checks?  I know you don't want non-EVGA people using the full version of Precision X OC, and you'd probably prefer people don't flash your BIOS on non-EVGA cards, but It's kind of a shame to make all your AMD-owning customers make do with a semi-functional product.

Thanks, I am receiving my 1060 SC Saturday from NewEgg, I'll report my experience flashing this bios with my fx8150 4.4 OC

You may get lucky and have the new BIOS already - I think they're shipping new cards with it anyway.
 
That being said, try Precision X OC, and I think you'll find that several key features will be disabled (such as an automatic overclock) because the software won't be able to recognize your card as an EVGA card.
 
While the card seems fine, I'm quite baffled that EVGA would not give AMD customers access to advertised features of its product.  Granted, the problem may be AMD's at the root, but I really hope EVGA will at least offer a workaround soon...

P.S.  While EVGA is saying this is an AMD problem, it is clearly an NVidia or EVGA problem (I don't know if it effects all makers' NVidia 10 series cards, but I suspect it does - I had a Zotac 10 series card that seemed to display a similar problem).  I mean, the issue with identifying the cards on AMD boards.

"Searching for display adapters to update...
Adapter: Graphics Device Device Path: S:00,B:01,D:00,F:00
Board is incompatible with firmware version 86.06.0E.00.60.
No display adapters were found that are compatible with this update."
My board is the GA-990FXA-ud3 (rev 1.0)
CPU-Z is reporting my graphics board manufacturer as "0x0000 (0x0000)"
 
I tried updating the bios from F10a to F10e with no change. I hope EVGA comes out with a fix for this. Because the chances of every motherboard manufacturer coming out with a fix for this one card is approximately 0%.
