If you own an eVGA Nvidia GTX 780, 780 SC, or 780 SC w/ACX and you want to learn how to use NvFlash to flash-mod your graphics card with the clock speeds of the eVGA GTX Hydro Copper edition, then you've come to the right place! This tutorial will show you how to unlock the full overclocking potential of your GTX 780 and enable you to achieve the highest possible frames rate in-game. The below steps are all covered in the "How to Video". Please note that you must have sufficient air or water cooling to run your card at higher clocks speeds and voltages, otherwise GPU or Memory burn-out may occur. I recommend replacing your GPU thermal compound with [Link removed] (nano-diamond thermal compound, to ensure 100% efficiency in heat transfer from your GPU to the heat-sync.)

Step 1: [Link removed] & Download these files from [Link removed]
◦ Download the eVGA GTX 780 Hydro Copper ROM file v80.10.36.00.82
◦ Download GPUz by TechPowerUp
◦ Download NvFlash
•
Step 2:Extract NvFlash Utility ◦Create a folder on your C drive called "nvflash"
◦ Extract NVFlash contents to C:/nvflash
◦ Extract eVGA GTX 780 Hydro Copper ROM (GK110.rom) into C:/nvflash
•
Step 3: Use GPUz to save a copy of your stock ROM image
•
Step 4: Open the Admin Command Prompt ◦Type: chdir C:/nvflash
◦ Type: nvflash --gk110.rom --overridesub -6
◦ Press "Y" to begin the flash process. It can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Upon completion you will hear an audible beep. If you have more than one graphics card, it will ask you to Press "Y" again to flash the next card and so on, until all cards have been flashed.
◦ Extract eVGA GTX 780 Hydro Copper ROM (GK110.rom) into C:/nvflash
•
Step 5: Restart your Computer, the system will need to reinstall your Nvidia Geforce Drivers because it appears to the system as if you have installed new graphics card(s).
•
Step 6: You can use [Link removed] with [Link removed] installed to further overclock your new Hydro Copper Edition! Ensure you have adequate cooling.
