well...I tried with VGABIOS...it says that Bios is loaded succesfully.....now i will procede to flash..
ya know what, why dont you just let me flash it cause i have a spare pci card in case anything screws up. ill let ya know how it turned out within half an hour
Can someone please change my gpu voltage to 1.4v and 1.5v ? I tried NiBiTor 2.0a and it doesn`t show the voltages. Card is a Leadtek 6600 GT AGP normal edition :). Here is the original bios.
mmm...you must save your bios with NVFLASH...Quote:

That's what I did type dude. My BIOS file was named BIOSVOLTS.ROM and I typedQuote:
VGABIOS says you that you are typing wrong...if your bios is called "bios.rom" you must type:
VGABIOS -Fbios.rom
now I'm trying....i will inform you about it...
VGABIOS -FBIOSVOLTS.ROM
I never got any message like 'Bios Loaded Successfully' though.
Aright I've attached the BIOS file I modded. Using the hex I changed it from 8C to 96, and the temp trick is also enabled, but I had that done previously so that was already within the code.Quote:

Hmm, nibitor doesn't want to open that BIOS you linked, and using Hextreme I don't know what part of the code to change =/Quote:

EDIT: Gianvito, did you try flashing with the voltage hex changed? Or did you Plaque?
Aright, my file name is BIOSVOLT2.ROM as you can see it's the one I attached above.
I just booted from the floppy and this is what I typed in
VGABIOS -Fbiosvolt2.rom
and it says the following
That's exactly what my screen looks like after I've typed in that command. So as you can see theres no error, no confirmation or nothing.Quote:
A:\>VGABIOS -fBIOSVOLT2.ROM
VGABIOS Loader Version 1.10

Usage: VGABIOS -fROMFILE -tM
ROMFILE is VGA BIOS ROM
M is TV Mode (0-5)
A:\>
If I type in just VGABIOS without anything else it'll say VGA BIOS NOT FOUND! at the end.....sooo yeah I don't know if it's working or not

Here ya go dude. I've attached your BIOS file and changed the hex which is supposed to make it 1.5v according to the posts above and throughout this thread. Of course make sure you can unflash if anything goes wrong and I've renamed it so that you can keep the original on the disk too, as a backup, but I changed that one and only option for you like you wanted, so let us know if you can get a higher core clock or if everything goes smoothly.Quote:

do you know if the mod has worked? anyone try ocing this? i wasnt able to flash it because of cpu problems
Nope, I modded that guys leadtek BIOS for him, and he hasn't replied back with any results :(
lol I was hoping you'd wind up doing it
Sorry guys I was sleeping :D. The guinea pig is safe :). Before flashing I ran rthdribl for full load temps and they stopped at 64°c for the GPU. Then I flashed with Nvflash 5.13 with nvflash biosmod.rom command because nothing else works :rolleyes:. Then it flashed and the temps are the same. Neither did OC-ing improved :(. In NiBiTor under volt section it doesn`t show anything under 3D.
poopy. could you test with a multimeter just to be sure?
Mmm...I tried to flash and it flashed succesfully but I'm having problems with Coolbit and RivaTuner.....if someone can measure the Voltage directly on the card please do it...
Hm can someone provide a link for checkpoints ? Thanks.

Theres voltage spots :D
Nibitor won't show anything under 3D voltage because 1.5v is beyond what the list will show. Technically this should mean your card is infact running at 1.5v unless like someone though earlier, theres a hardware limitation and without actually doing a volt mod the BIOS simply won't let it run at 1.5v
So two of you have flashed your cards with the 1.5v BIOS and it worked eh? Might have to give it a go, but now I'm thinking of doing eVGA's step up program and getting the 6800GT :p:
Damn...I'm having problems and I can't format pc now because I must finish a work....please someone measure the Voltage on the card after flashing bios with 1.5V...
I was hoping mare was checking the voltage spots since he asked for a pic of where they were :D
I figured you'd be able to tell just by if you could overclock more or if your temps were significantly higher, but he's reported no better OC's
I don`t promise you that I will check the voltages, because I don`t own a volt meter and my friend that has one, isn`t at home.
well i would just like to say....i figured out how to flash to a differant vendor's bios...ROFL im so happy.
here is the command..
nvflash -4 -5 -6 <bios>
have fun, although i warn you, you must reinstall you drivers (at least i have to right now)
Yeah, I was aware of that actually because of this tutorial:
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=1945&st=0
It's just how to enable temp monitoring, but this was before I knew of nibitor and it's ability to simply click a check box and enable it lol.
So let me get this right....we've had two people flash with the 1.5v BIOS and no problems have occured besides the simple fact we really don't know if it's actually running at 1.5v currently?
im going to flash to 1.5 right now, so hold on 5 min...brb
booted fine, im gonna test if it actually had an effect (overclocking wise)
no differance in OCing, i think we're doing something wrong here..wish some of the more experienced modders would help
well, we're changing the hex....that's all we can do, so if it's a hardware limitation it's simply just not gonna go to 1.5v....lets hope it doesn't revert to something even lower though. So if 1.5v doesn't work perhaps it's just best to reflash with your known good 1.4v regular BIOS and just do a volt mod as that seems to be the only way of actually getting the extra volts.
