Never used this feature before and I'm hoping it's more than a gimmick. Says it can "unlock further overclocking potential"? 
So is there some place, with custom bios, that you download and flash to, or do you like need to make your own? lol..
Maybe too soon for that? Thanks for the info.
I googled it but just got pointed here.

If you ain't living on the edge, you're takin up too much room.

    Power off your machine, then flip the switch on the actual card.

    To load a new bios, you will need to use a program to load a new bios. Unfortunately, that program is not out yet, but hopefully will be soon.

    The current "slave" bios should have a more aggressive fan setting from EVGA and possibly a slightly higher power target, but that will be the only major changes.

    Thanks for the info. I overclocked it with MSI afterburner. So I guess I'll wait for that loading tool.

    Couldn't think of it earlier, but it's called Nvflash. Nvidia has it very locked down. Last generation, you couldn't flash any bios that wasn't approved by Nvidia, until someone was able to access the program and remove the limitations, which was the "Nvflash Joe Dirt" version. I am not sure if there is a Pascal version out yet
