What will be loaded into 3 BIOSes of Classy from the factory?
780 Classified had normal reference BIOS, and another factory BIOS with a slightly increased power target (115% over 110%).

I just talked to Chris at EVGA and was told that the Three Bios's on the GTX 980 Classified are similar to the ones that came on the 780 Classifieds (We will Still need to find some 3rd party modded Bios's), and that EVGA will release (eventually) the EVBot Firmware version update for the GTX 980 Classified.
 
I would like to ask Jacob if we could get some more detailed Info on this?

I can confirm that the 2nd and 3rd BIOS options on the GTX 980 Classified does change the fan profile settings to a more aggressive profile. If you do want to change the BIOS on number 2 or 3 to a different 3rd party BIOS then you may, but please understand that this is not directly supported by EVGA.
 
One example of a non-supported 3rd party BIOS is linked below.

Thanks for the info Chris, and definitely appreciate the New EVBot P37 Firmware that EVGA has released for the GTX 980 Classified!
 
Won't take long to get the EVBot back to work again........

Thanks Chris, is that the same fan profile on both?
No other changes like higher power limit?

Everyone pretty much knows the only way you're going to get "other" changes is to go to a 3rd party Bios (i.e., from Kingpincooling / Skyn3t / etc...) Just like it was accomplished with the EVGA GTX 780Ti Classifieds and Kingpin Editions, Which Like EVGA has stated "is not directly supported by EVGA".
