Remember try at your own risk, this is a GTX Strix bios. It is currently working fine on my GTX 1080 FTW.
Increase voltage from 1.093mv to 1.200mv!

I'm getting one step below that level of performance at 1.081v on an EVGA 1080 SC w/EK block. That seems like a helluva lot of volts to force into this thing for a measly 12 MHz more performance. And is that 70 C under air or water cooling? It would have to be under water, and if so, that's really, really hot for a watercooled 1080. 
 
I can see this being kind of fun to play with for people, especially for people who intend to do LN2 or sub-ambient via phase change or TECs or whatever, but it certainly isn't very practical for normal use.

It's running on air ;)

Under any kind of load? I ask because under serious benchmarking or gaming loads my 1080 SC would be over 70 C at lower clockspeeds and much lower voltages with the fans at 100%. I would predict that your load can't be all that high if you're only at 70 C.
 
If I'm wrong though then congrats!

Well you can see the GPU-Z screenshot, load is 80-100% 

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I read this on a 4K monitor, and without the ability to zoom in at all these things people post inevitably look tiny and hard to read on my end.

 
*Do Not use an Asus Bios on an Evga card*

Just be aware that loading an unapproved bios is grounds for a warranty to be denied. Brick in your card with an unapproved bios may warrant you the world most expensive paperweight. Use with caution.

Good thing there is a dual bios switch.

Until you look at all of the reference boards that may try this without a dual bios... But, whose looking anyway?

I'd never have tried this bios if I didn't have some kind of back up. Or if Evga would supply an unlocked bios, but noooo.

The issue with a "back up" on a single bios card is that the user may have no way of re flashing if they brick the card.

They should not be flashing a bios this risky if the first place. But i think ill go back to the old vbios soon.

I have the asus gtx 1080 strix OC version and I've never seen it get passed 1.09vcore. Crazy how you take my bios, put it in evga card and magically get 1.2vcore? 

How is this unlocked if the card is perfcapping like crazy? I tried it yesterday on my 1080SC, didn't help the OC at all except for making the temps higher.
Also don't wet your pants if you're using DisplayPort and your screen goes black after flashing - the right DP port will stop working with the Strix BIOS on an EVGA. 

The FTW already has a HW switch for a higher power limit. Not sure why this is even necessary especially on air, considering how sensitive pascal is to temperature.

Unless you have money to burn, I fail to understand why anyone would risk a high dollar video card in this way.  I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go round...

Reading his "well I'll just..." justifications, all I could think about was driving like a madman when I was a teenager racing against a friend of mine, and thinking it was actually a good idea at the time. Luckily nobody got killed, but I still get shivers thinking about it all these years later.

Perfcapping on unlocked vbios? 

Need an unlocked BIOS for the GTX1070FTW. I have just bought one, hasn't arrived yet, but I am already disappointed at it's tweak-ability from reading forum results - I'm not expecting much unless we can address the 1.093v cap, which renders the cards more or less pointless. Hurry up with the BIOS editor.
