Hi there,
 
Since the FTW3 has dual-bios, i want to flash the master bios. Anyone has a good and stable bios for the FTW3?
I've been looking on the forums, but can't find it. I wanna squeeze more out this card, since i am going to put a waterblock on it.
Current OC
Core 2076
Memory 6003
Temp 55c max with aggressive curve
Voltage 1081mV 100% Powerslider
Powerlimit 127%
Templimit 91c
Power and temp limit are unlinked

Doubt you'll find any custom vbioses for the FTW3 as nvidia has pretty much locked down vbios editing for pascal. You would also want to flash the slave & not the master.

Anyways, nobody has a modded bios or tool?

Correct.

Darn it, hope it will appear soon :d

Its been over a year since the 10 series cards have been out and no one has cracked it yet. Don't hold your breath. It seems AMD are also following suit since their BIOSes are also tamper proof (even altering the name caused it to not boot). The best option atm is the XOC BIOS intended for LN2, but that is designed for the FE with 7 power phases. Not sure if it's compatible with the FTW3. I suppose with 2 BIOSes it doesn't matter if you brick one.

You could do the shunt mod.

It's already got 355 watts of power limit available to it with the slider all the way up.  I'd check GPUz sensors tab before doing the shunt mod.  I doubt it does anything for this GPU.

It will help if this is going on.

Well, yes.  I agree that it would resolve the issue.  However....I would never hardware mod and void my warranty in order to fix an issue that's squarely on EVGA's shoulders to fix themselves.  There is a flaw in the bios.

IMO, putting liquid metal thermal paste on shunts isn't a hardware mod as none of the original hardware has been changed out for other hardware.

lol, I'd be willing to bet that EVGA sees it differently....I know NVIDIA does.  It bypasses a safety feature built into the GPU....that's a hardware mod.  You may as well have soldered a wire bypassing the shunt resistor.  Same thing.

Yeah, evga/nvidia does see it differently. I'm just saying in my opinion it isn't a true hardware mod as you're just applying some thermal paste to a component on the pcb.
 
Once you start soldering wires, changing/adding hardware onto the pcb is what I consider to be a true hardware mod.

Will void my warranty? If no, i can give it a try :)

Your warranty won't be void as long as you don't short the card out in the process.

YEP, all you have to do.....

if you cause a short --> you will own an expensive brick

I went with this card the kpe was a little rich for me this time around..

i found ln2 overclocking BIOS in the overclocking.guide site  but it's for asus strix you can flash and give it a shot

Any results using the xoc bios on the ftw3?
