I am finally getting close to opening up the box my KPE 2080 ti came and and putting it to use. Hopefully this weekend as all I am waiting on now is my boards new Monoblock from EK. I have been reading all the posts I can find trying to prepare but am a little lost on flashing the BIOS. I would like to flash the LN2 bios to the OC position for maximum fan speed but I have always been nervous when it comes to flashing for fear of bricking my unit.

So the question is, has anyone written up, or done a video guide on the steps of how this works? I know I am way out of my league when it comes to Overclocking when compared to most around here. I just wanted the absolute best 2080 ti I could get and am happy with my decision to get this one.

Now all I need to complete my system is that Hydro Copper block so I can do a proper loop. :)

    Oh yea you will probaly want TechPowerUp GPU-Z, 
    https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-gpu-z/


    verify bios change after switch changes, sometimes bios wont change with switch move. "i" in lower Precision X1 right corner tells bios you are on. TechPowerUp GPU-Z also tells bios info, also.
    I find that after a bios switch move if i go into my motherboard bios before windows start than the switch change always takes effect.

    I would get the Bios from here https://xdevs.com/guide/2080ti_kpe/#biost over GPU-Z
    Card is already shipped with three different BIOSes, available for download as backup dumps:
    Normal BIOS – This BIOS is stock baseline, +144% Power target limit
    OC BIOS – This BIOS similar to Normal, but more aggressive fan profile, +144% Power target limit
    LN2 BIOS – Unlimited fan speeds, 144% power target, HW set to disable thermal protection for LN2 overclocking.

    Where is it? On the Xdevs page for KPE? What’s different about this particular BIOS?

    Edit: never mind, found it and answered my own question

    You can download all original BIOS from KPE guide and flash them onto card. You'll need to flash each BIOS separately, flipping BIOS switch after each successful flash. Do not reboot or shutdown PC in process.

    If you have question, please post in public forum. I do not reply PMs, so all in community can benefit the answer.
