Hello!
I know this thread is very old but I thought I would post for advice anyway, please redirect me if appropriate. I have had my GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 since launch and as a foreword I will state that I have gotten WAY more than my money's worth from it so far, honestly I couldn't have asked for more from a card and it's been in use ever since. I just randomly stumbled on the fact that the ACX 3.0 Pascal cards had allegedly had "thermal problems". I've now done a bit of research and AFAIK this has been more or less refuted (AFAIK the temperatures are within safe ranges for regular use but higher than other 1070/80s), however I was still wondering whether it would be recommended for me to update my vBIOS? I checked and I have the stock/release (if I understand correctly) vBIOS (86.04.1E.00.70) and this matches with my purchase date being in July 2016. I also do not have the extra thermal pads but I'm not worried about obtaining them. Just maybe updating the vBIOS. I'm not overly concerned about the alleged "thermal problems" as I have owned the card for 7 years. The main appeal of the idea for me is simply having a more aggressive fan curve/profile without having to use software like Afterburner or Precision. If this is a valid reason to update please let me know whether you reckon I should or I shouldn't attempt to fix something that isn't broken. I am not bothered with fan noise and my logic for considering this is that the updated vBIOS would keep overall temperatures down and possibly be beneficial? LMK if I am mistaken.
If I did want to update the vBIOS, I wanted to verify where I should obtain the latest appropriate ones in 2024? I noticed that all the links in the first post for this thread have been crossed out, is that because they are no longer the most up to date vBIOS? I see these; 86.04.50.00.72 vBIOS (dated 2016-11-03, as late a date I can find) on techpowerup, are these the correct vBIOS?
Thanks in advance for any assistance given! Cheers
