Would be a nice Xmas present if EVGA comes with a New XOC 500W BIOS that works 

what is not working?

man how come you ask this when there are 106 pages conplaining about it...

so is useless to install at the moment?

Install it.  It will not do any harm.  People have had different results with it.  The worst it will do is nothing.  No harm no foul.

I'm more than a little weary of doing BIOS modifications until I have a backup card again, so for now, won't be testing different BIOSes, just gonna stick with the default ones.
 
But the viewpoint of "try it out" on the 500W XOC Beta BIOS is correct, at worst it just won't help you OC further etc, at best, you'll get a performance boost.  It won't HURT anything, I've used it enough to confirm that.

Got my hybrid kit in yesterday and put it together today.  I read and reread the instructions until I understood the complete process of what goes where and who shot John.  Went pretty smooth except the rad fan connection was tight and never seated completely. Anyway, idling @ 23c.  Oh, I did remove thermal paste from the pump and put grizzly hydronaut on the gpu.
 
Made a couple of quick passes:
Time Spy:  @ 800/160  19,455  average temp 49c 16667772 (end of url)
Port Royal: @ 800/175  14,311  average temp 49c  686329    (end of url)
Pretty pleased with it. Used conversion bios' (normal first, oc second).
 
Help, every time I copy a link to paste in my message it shows just fine in the message box but disappears when I post it.  Any advice?

Yeah, until you have 10 posts you have to break the URL up like so: www. Goggle .con

Thx Mate👍, going nuts here thinking I had screwed something up.

By conversion bios, did you mean the higher power limit hybrid bios? And do you have the 3090 ftw3 ultra gaming?

jacobf’s hybrid bios conversion posts # 4 & 6 in the “3080 ftw3 hybrid kit fans spin up to 3000 rpm” thread.  Sorry, I can not post links yet and yes I do have the 3090 ftw3 ultra gaming.

My latest warranty/RMA replacement card is a 2012 serial number card made in China.  On the default OC bios I can't get it to reliably draw 400 watts and on the XOC BIOS it draws 430-440 watts peak watts.  That's using the same games and benchmarks that draw 430-450 watts on the default OC BIOS and 560+watts using the XOC BIOS on my 2014 serial number card that I'm returning for RMA.  So much for the theory that the 2012 series number cards have a higher likelihood of working well with the XOC BIOS.
 
EDIT: I was able to fix the issue.  For some reason uninstalling PX1, rebooting, then reinstalling PX1 worked.
 
 

 When i got my ftw3 ultra i put the xoc bios and never really tried my card with port royal with original bios.
My port royal score with xoc bios is : 14 257
My port royal score with original bios : 14 264 lol
 
My card still on air cooling and i never success to flash my card with other bios and always have error message : cant read the file or something like that hehehe, i dont know why but like i said i have a LSI sata card in port pcie 3 and i never try to remove it and try flashing my bios.
So its seam the xoc bios dosent really increase my performance at all hahaha.
