questo bios x sc è valido solo x la versione a 6 giga, o anche per la 3 giga .grazie

My second 1060 SC came back (first one was DOA) with the original bios. Updated to the 0db one for the full manual control of the fan.
 
Made a custom curve with Precision XOC and with Afterburner and works pretty great except of a small kink.
This is the curve:

The problem is that as soon as the temp hits 41 C , the fan ramps up to 100% for a second or two and then goes back to the value indicated from the curve.
 
This happens every time the fan stops completely. Upon the next time the card is under any significant load it spins up again to 100% just for a second or two.
It is pretty jarring to hear the fan come up so loudly.
 
Tried a second curve, this time keeping the fan to 25% up to 45 C, this issue happens then as well but now it only happens upon the first restart of the PC, during the automatic load of Precision/AB, because during POST the fan is as expected turned off.
After that, the fan spins up and down as expected.
 
It also happens if I leave the default curve in place and switch it to manual mode in any value, again spins up to 100% and then goes to the value selected.
 
Is this an issue with using a custom curve in general? Any tips on how to fix this ?
 
Maybe I should just open a ticket to get the original bios and be done with all of this tinkering :)

I got the EVGA GTX 1060 SC with new bios yesterday. After reading about the fan and temps I am reluctant to use this card. Can jjwerrett or EVGATech_JaesonW send me the old bios zip file. I have used nvflash before and I understand the risks of flashing the bios. I can not pm you guys as I am a new member.
Thanks.

I don't understand what is the problem that old bios is not being made available. The risk for people flashing the wrong bios is there even with the new bios as well. Can someone please explain if there is another reason?
 I don't mind little noise as continuous running of fan is better to keep the card cool. I know I can set a custom profile but it would be better if I don't have to run the extra software.

Well I actually rushed, because of legitreviews listed the bios ids as: Old BIOS ID: 86.03.0E.00.00 and New BIOS ID: 86.03.0E.00.01 on page 11 and the bios listed on the back of my card is 86.06.0E.00.60. So I assumed that I have new bios when it is old bios.
 
 
I tried the old bios then I extracted the old bios using nvflash and tried the new bios. I have a dell Studio XPS 435MT and the cooling is not good enough. With the new bios, GPU was idling at 48 degrees with 0 fan speed and with the old bios it was idling at 33 degrees with 47% fan speed. Even at 47% fan and side panel off, it is not audible at all. So for my system the old bios wins. If anyone asks, I used the nvflash to reflash the saved rom of old bios.

I have already tried this, they DO NOT give me the bios.

Hello MajorDuffus, I apologize for the delay in getting you the firmware update. I have gone ahead and sent you the update directly. Please let us know if you run into any issues during the installation process and we will be glad to assist you further.

Thank you!
 
I did a quick test for about 10min with OCCT and it stayed at 70ºC solid.
The idle temp is 35ºC with the fan at 31%.
 
EDIT:Btw, the new bios version is: 86.06.27.01.60.

Maybe the first post should be updated with all 3 vbios .
 
The original always on at 45% with the aggressive fan curve, the 0 db fan-stop one and the new one with the less aggresive curve.
 
This way there is something for everyone.

Thanks to EVGA Customer Service Team for sending me the lower fan speed bios 86.06.27.01.60. As lazarost said the newer always on fan bios has lower starting point at 25% in comparison to the old one at 43%. I would also like to say that the forum bios link should be updated with he newer bios.
Thanks evga again.

@MrSirMonocle
I am still waiting EVGA support to send me the newer bios but in the meantime can you tell me if in the newer vbios  is the fan able to go to 0 rpm while in manual mode ? Or is it like the original one with the fan locked to the minimum curve RPM?

The lowest I can make it go with afterburner is 21%.

The AMD Boards issue is solved????

Yes this has been resolved. I have sent you a PM, please let me know if you need the update so we can have this sent to you direct.

Can I also get the latest bios version? I have a AMD board and PrecisionX does not recognize my Evga card. Thank you.
 
Edit: Also the current (old) bios version in case something goes wrong and If I want to revert back to the old one.

Can I please have the fix for the AMD motherboards.  I'm still showoing the subvendor ID as undefined on my 1060.

Contact them directly rather than on the forum.

why these updates are not public but we have to pm someone instead and pray to indian gods ??! **** ???

Because then people tend to put the wrong BIOS on a card or 'test things' and then complain about that.  eVGA are simply asking you get with them and verify the card so that you get the correct BIOS for your card.
