Is there a coldbug bios for the 9800GTX?? I need it!!

As far as I know, not yet in public m8.
Vince ( K|ngp|n ) was ( or still is ) working with nVIDIA trying to get this issue fixed, but I don't think they found something for the 9800GTX CB.
You could drop him a PM, he might have something up his sleeves ( as I think I remember him posting something that seemed to be a hint :p: ).

For the time being I'm just keeping the cards just 1C lower than the coldbug.

Cold bug seems to be around -55c. If I can't find a modded CB bios, I guess I could try a copper shim. :shrug: I'm using a SingleStage cooler I put together yesterday to get better cold on the VGA. Now it's to cold.:D

[BenchZowner]

How many degrees lower are you now ?

How many degrees lower are you now ?


I turn PC on then start SS. If I keep rapidly running test at 1.6v idle on the GTX I'm okay, but when I go to change core speed or LOD, it will go below -55c and crash. At that point I have to turn off everything and start over.
I'm guessing the SS will pull down to -58c to -60c. Maybe a little colder. This compressor is running a -20hg vac with a heavy charge. I will try adding a bit more r507 (overcharge) and see if that will warm it up a bit, but I don't think I can keep it above -55c. I'm a bit timid about running my core volts much higher. I was seeing 1.7v loaded on one test.

Problem solved untill there is a modded bios. I overcharged like crazy.

[BenchZowner]

Poor compressor :D
But for now...have fun benching Ron :)
There's one thing that I love about phase change/cascade cooling... yes, that's the ability to bench anytime and for as long as you want/can.

Rock the clocks m8 ;)

no luck guy's the bios did not fix anything for me :( , the bios will be sharde when vince say so sorry .
still cb@-44°C , did 1080core with 1.458vgpu :p:

[BenchZowner]

Damn.
Did you try another card ? Or just one 9800GTX ?
Because if I recall correctly this BIOS might work on some, not all.
I'll give it a try next week with 3 GTXs, hope it works at least on one of them.

[Monstru]

That bios should be public for everybody, I know Vince have been playing with it for weeks now....Until they make it public....they release the next gen GFX, so no point in using 9800GTX anymore.....not nice...

[BenchZowner]

That's true Monstru.
I for one believe that both AMD & nVIDIA should be sharing those BIOSes with the public, but unfortunately they don't want to.
I'm sure Vince would like to share it with everybody, but the NDA prevents him and anybody else having this BIOS from sharing it.

is the way working out with another vga such 96GT r 96GSO?
