I want your GTX460 vBIOSes!

[Ket]

yep. Startup to maximum speed only.

[cantankerous]

ah, so no custom slope from said min to max? Can you go below 40% and actually have the fan go below 40%?

[Ket]

No slope but I can set below 40%.

[cantankerous]

Thanks for the confirmation. Here is to hoping Nibitor comes up with a customizable fan slope adjustment as found in previous Geforce cards. Was a God send being able to set exactly when and by how fast the fan should ramp up on my 8800 Ultra and GTX 260. I would like anything over 68c to have fan on 100% since it is so quiet. I would like to never break 70c full load while gaming.

[Ket]

Could be waiting a while for nibitor 5.8

[MrBeer]

Can you mod this one for me

thanks

I can completely understand the importance of the 'recommended linking' checkbox in FBE for only being able to adjust 'known and important' clocks, but what I did not realize is that it also dictates how the voltage changes are applied. Does anyone know if UNchecking recommended linking would be ok if it ONLY had to deal with the voltage settings? No clocks. When it comes to P00 and P03 I would rather not have them set to higher voltages than I need to in order to cut down on power consumption and heat. I am on a dual display setup so P08 and P12 have no meaning to me as my card never clocks down that low anyways. When idle on the desktop it gets set to P03 which used to use Voltage Entry #2, being my GPU Default of 1.000v. Now that I have adjusted Voltage Entry #1 to be applied to P00 for my 3D voltage level, it is automatically setting P03 to Voltage Entry #1 as well, despite me wanting this. If I uncheck recommended linking, I CAN set P00 and P03 separate from each other, meaning P00 is Voltage Entry #1 for 3D and P03 is Voltage Entry #2 for 2D desktop work (GPU Default of 1.000v) on my dual display, however is this going to cause a problem? I am hating sending more than 1v through my card just while surfing the net yet want the higher voltage to keep the card stable in 3D use so im stuck with both being set the same. FBE is a fantastic tool and my bios is near exactly how I want it minus fan slope control which it doesn't offer anyways, and now this little voltage niggle. I would love 1.000v on Desktop 2D use for P03 and 1.0xxx for 3D use instead of 1.0xxx 24/7.

Thanks to anyone who is familiar with FBE and can help.

How are people getting FBE? It seems several people have it and aren't sharing it?

[cantankerous]

Not allowed to share, you must request it from Orbmu2K himself politely.

The galaxy 460GTX BIOS posted on the start of the thread is corrupted, i just downloaded the ZIP and windows tells me that the file is unknown or corrupted.

BTW Here the BIOS of my Galaxy 460GTX 1gb SUper OC Edition.

Locked @ 1087mv.

I just downloaded the KFA/Galaxy file, unzips fine for me. Probably just your download that went screwy

Doesn't unzip for me either

Ok, so I got the answer myself. You can set the voltages differently from P00 and P03 from within FBE itself, however, once you save the bios and open it back up you will see that they have both been linked together again, so this method does not work. Boo!

[Mungri]

What do you use to flash the Bios on these cards?

I found it, NVflash

Does anyone have a specific guide for bios flashing on these GTX 460s?

[RAGNAROKUN]

is possible >1ghz in gpu with aircooling or watercooling??

[Ket]

1GHz GPU isn't something thats all that easy. I'd say top quality air at least to attempt it. Got all my stuff for the new build at last so I'll be away for a bit tuning my system up.

[crskymod]

So men, can you unlock my BIOS please.

[Aedubber]

Already got 2 people under water hitting 1ghz , hopefully I will be the 3rd

[StefanZ]

Is i possible to flash mijn Colorful GTX460 1 GB with the EVGA GTX460 1GB bios ?
Can clock my Colorful GTX460 with 1.087v to 875/1750 2300, but i want more.
Tried to save my Colorful bios with GPU-Z 0.4.5., but it says: "Bios reading not supported on this device"...am i doing something wrong ??

[MrBeer]

used GPU-Z 0.4.4 that one will save your bios bug it 5.4

[Mungri]

Does anyone have a specific guide for bios flashing on these GTX 460s?

^^ Does anyone have guide on how to flash these?

[sixfootduo]

Hey Ket, very nice work. I appreciate you time and efforts and those of the community. I have a pair of Asus Non-TOP 460 1gig cards that are going into a new system tomorrow. From what I understand, these cards are hardware identical to the TOP versions. If possible, I would like to enlist your help in getting these two cards flashed over to the TOP versions in the near future.

Thanks much, Ralph

[StefanZ]

You were right ...saved my bios with 0.4.4
It's an Colorful GTX460 with 1 GB.
It clocks to 875/1750/2300.

Could you please unlock it for me ?

It's a .bin file i renamed to .zip NOT a zip file

[Aedubber]

Ket- I got my EvGAs in they are the OCed edition , I see we don't have those in the index yet . Seems like these need more volts then the gigabytes I had :-/ .. I'll shoot u a pm later tonight .

[StefanZ]

Could i flash my GTX460 1GB with the evga bios ?
Are the reference cards all the same ??
