Both BIOS versions are the same when I switch the vbios dip switch. This is the precision readout:  Is this normal or should I have different BIOS versions when I flip the switch? I am flipping it with the PC off of course.

Make sure you have fast boot disabled in the MB BIOS. If it isn’t it may not detect that you switched over
Flipping it with the system on will not hurt it
You would have to do that I’d you had a bad flash on one You would reboot with the good one and switch it over then reflash the one that failed

This is normal, one just has a different fan profile. They are both the same BIOS version.

I do have fastboot disabled. This is strange.

No, the 2 have different version numbers.

No this is normal. The difference is just a fan profile of the same BIOS version. Even if each BIOS had different clock speed values they would still be the same BIOS version.

They have different version numbers. Check gpuz to see if they change after a reboot. Sometimes precision doesn't refresh. I have seen where the switches are broken and don't actually switch roms. Edit: The first vbios versions are Normal: 94.02.71.00.AF OC: 94.02.71.00.B0 The resizable bar bios are 94.02.71.80.74 94.02.71.80.86 (Not sure which is which)

Did you try rebooting one more time? And you haven't ever flashed it and possibly wrote the same one to both positions?
I've had some bizarre problems like that with mine. Was convinced when I first got the card that the switch didn't work.

So, I turned the system off again, took the panel off and flipped the switch. Precision X1 shows the same bios version again but as tresnugget described the BIOS version DID indeed change on GPU-Z.  I have another concern now. The fans are still at 0% in this BIOS. Meaning both BIOS versions have the fans stay at 0% without load. A few forum members have stated it changes the fan profile to remain always on. Is this misinformation or should it be above 0% at all times?

OC bios shouldn't be 0%. Does it spin before windows? I recently had an issue where my 1000w vbios with 100% fan got stuck in precision after switching bios. After hitting default a few times in precision and rebooting it eventually fixed.

I've never changed settings in Precision X1 - I've only used it to see if there were updates. Would it still cause this?

I'm not sure. Edit: It wasn't even stuck in precision. It was stuck in the driver because my fans would crank before even pulling up precision. But changing a setting then hitting default eventually fixed it.

I just uninstalled precision and its settings file. The fans spin at bootup on OC BIOS but stall to 0% in windows. The bios versions do change appropriately when the switch is flipped.

After restarting the fans remain at 10 and 5 percent respectively. What are the benefits of this BIOS besides the fan profile? Does it clock higher? Do you recommend it?

Performance is identical pretty much either way

0% fan mode and sightly less arrive fan curve on normal and slightly more aggressive on OC but not aggressive enough to impact performance
