I flashed the second card afterwards also and its fan was spinning faster also and I could feel the aircomming at the back of the card was getting colder and cards heatsink (the big heavy heatsink acting metal plate) was no longer burning my finger (initially I could not hold my hand on it for more than 1-2sec, it was that hot)

Then I modified the BIOS again and set the MIN temp just bit higher as the fas were too noisy now even at idle... after second flash I was happy with result, shut down windows, switched off the PSU in power sitch and connected big 200mm fan mount on side of the case and closed it... wanted to boot again and then it was dead.
Right now, the fan on the card is spinning quite fast. I tried multiple times to flas with original BIOS and every time it said it was a successful flash. I think my only hope of card recovery is new flash utility... just don't know if I can wait very long, and who knows maybe the cards are not recoverable at all any more... I think W1zzard is our only hope
RBE has a warning about using a fresh bios to mod each time, don't re-use the same bios, mod a fresh copy each time. in order to correct the checksum the program needs to change other entries in the bios in order for the checksum to match. so always use a fresh bios each time you create a modded bios. just make a copy of the original or dl from the TechPowerUp VGA bios database.
