8800GT bios for better overclocking! *test*

[Khapz]

Just bit the bullet and tried the mod.

Steps:
1. Dump BIOS from card to NiBiTor
2. Change "Exact" "Extra" voltage in NiBiTor to 1.1V (was blank)
3. Save BIOS to bootable disk.
4. Reboot to DOS bootable disk, flash using command "nvflash -4 BIOSNAME.rom"
5. Reboot. That's it.

It seems to have worked, happily ATItool testing core @ 756/1836 (which has locked up once or twice for me before in 3D06.

edit: spoke too soon maybe? Perhaps it's the cooler temperatures. 771MHz core artifacted in ATItool right away, no crash or anything though.

edit2: 771MHz core is going fine with shaderclock bumped down to 1782... temp 55°C with stock cooler, fan @ 100%
edit3: 771MHz went fine in ATItool for 30minutes so I've stopped it, bumped core to 777mhz and retried. So far good for 10 minutes.

and, this modification resolve the 30% fan speed problem?

Nope it does not. For benching I use 100% fan speed, and I have set up fan speed profiles in RivaTuner for standard use/gaming.

with the heater on in the room,i max load at 42C.
Without it at 34-35C.
i also have the quad and the X38 in the loop.

Thanks very much Looks like water will be the way to go for me.
