Greetings
 
I hope someone can help me (or it will cost me over $500 to RMA the card)
 
I have noticed that randomly the LED lighting zones on my 980Ti Kingpin will randomly "switch off" flash white and then back to the colors that I had set in Precision.  I remember reading somewhere that I could flash the card as it was a problem on the earlier cards but I cannot seem to find that post again.
 
Is this really the only fix ?, what could go wrong with flashing the card ?
 
 
All help would really be appreciated, sucks having this super high end card that has this really annoying issue.
 
Regards

    I don't believe there is a vBIOS that you can flash to fix this. One thing that could go wrong is you turn your K|NGP|N into a paperweight. You might be able to RMA to EVGA EU in Germany and save some on shipping costs. supportEU@evga.com

    There is a firmware update listed in the Kingpin cooling forums. It will take you a bit to find the I structures on how to do it, because T|n provides so much information on those cards.

    Head over to kingpincooling.com and get into the forums. Look into evga overclocking. Go into the 980ti thread, and look through the post. It will tell you exactly what you need and how to update the firmware yourself. It just requires a USB 2.0 internal cable and some time, if I am not mistaken, and then it will correct the firmware issue.

    That is what I am worried about, I really cannot afford the shipping either way although the shipping to EU is cheaper and the fear of completely bricking the card is real ... Hahahaha

    That is the post I was talking about, and I found a link to it but when following it, it tells me it cannot find the page. Will check the forums manually for the specific post.
     
    Thanks so much for the information :)

    Yes, Vince (K|ngp|n) had an issue with the forums. You can manually search and get to the post.. I found it again while on pc the other day, but have a really hard time navigating on the phone.
