GTX 580 Model: N580GTX - M2D15D5

Hi Guys,
My GTX 580 is running very hot and then starts stuttering - I even loaded the latest Afterburner but it still happens.
I see there is a new bios update. How do I update to the new bios? I downloaded the NV801MS.KH1 file, but now what?
Please help.
Thanks!

Hi - About 95 degrees. Is that hot?
Thanks

Hi - About 95 degrees. Is that hot?
Yes it is, do you have a good ventilation and enough and proper airflow inside your PC case?
Have you tried to open the side door of the PC case?
Is your FAN on the VGA is at Auto?
Can you make a photo of your card?
Also answer my question:

GTX 580 OC Help Needed (N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC) | SPLIT [Twin Frozr II OC]

Hello Svet !
One month ago, I bought two N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC. One was OK, the other one had stock frequencies. Made an exchange. The third card was the same : stock frequencies, and unstable with correct OC BIOS, even with adjusting the voltage.
So, i returned the two M2D15D5/OC and got two N580GTX Twin Frozr II OC. Frequencies are OK now (core clock @822,shader clock @1645, memory clock @2138), but one card is crashing my computer when I play (I'm in SLI). But everything is OK in OCCT for example.
So I decided to check the voltages with AfterBurner.
One card is at 1,025V and the other one, the faulty one is at 1,000V.
So I tested with AfterBurner to put it at 1,025, and now, everything looks stable.
Could it be possible to have a new BIOS with the correct voltage? Because I've been following this thread since the beginning, and I understood that it can be corrected with BIOS update (by the way, I compared the 2 backuped BIOS of my cards, and they are the same... that's what I don't understand... is voltage really written in BIOS ?)
So here it is a summary of my needs :
   core voltage @ 1025
   core clock @822
   shader clock @1645
   memory clock @2138
Here are the serial numbers :
N580GTX Twin Frozr II OC
   602-V255-01SB1101009125
   602-V255-01SB1101009181
Thanks a lot Svet ! Congrats for your precious help here

Hi Svet !
How are you since last time ?
I've got a question regarding the new BIOS (NV255MS.104 found on the download page of the product) for the GTX 580 Twin Frozr II OC I own.
Let me explain :
Few weeks ago, you helped me by providing me a new BIOS with new voltage (1025 mv instead of 1000). Since then, everything is working fine. I can play hours without problem :D Thank you !
My question is, if I update my card with this new BIOS 1.04, will I loose the 1025 mv voltage ?
What does this new BIOS bring exactly ?
Again, thank you for help here
Have a nice day Svet !

No, 1025mV will be kept.

MSI is following my steps, it will do the same as your current installed VBIOS vcore boost from 1V to 1025mV.
If you flash the newest MSI's VBIOS it will bring you nothing more than your current custom one,
but opposite you will lost extra performance.
Check and compare reports: [look especially for last 3 lines with performance calculations]

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II O/C - confused by bios version number, and how to flash

Hi, my first post here. But I've been reading a bit here. Still, I get confused by this whole vga bios thing, version numbers and how to flash... Ok, so here's my situation:
I have two PC's. Both with one MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 card inside. It seems to me that both are working according to specifications, GPU-Z reports:
GPU clock 800 Mhz, Memory 1024 Mhz, Shader 1600 Mhz for the borth of them.
Now, one of them seems not to be totally stable (this is the newest I bought a few days ago). It locks up/crashes in some games. The other seems ok, I've been having that one for a while. Could this be a GPU core voltage problem? GPU-Z reports for the both of them:
VDDC 0.955 v
I've tried running MSI afterburner, changing core voltage to 1025, and in afterburner settings enable "Force constant voltage". Still, GPU-Z, which I keep running at the same time, still reports only 0.955. I thought this setting in Afterburner would change voltage to 1.025? This situation is for both the old one and the new one.
Now to the Bios "problem".
The newest card (the not so stable one) reports through GPU-Z: Bios Version 70.10.20.00.01
The oldest (stable) card: Bios Version 70.10.17.00.01
So... which one has the newest bios? Seems to me it is the newest card.
BUT - when running MSI Live Update 5 (newest version) it says for both the cards that they have the the newest bios version, and there's no need to upgrade??
SO - I go to the MSI webpage: http://no.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Twin-Frozr-II-OC.html#?div=BIOS to download the newest bios manually, just in case.. But there it gets more confusing. The Bios version found there is :NV255MS.104(.zip).
And also, on that page I can not find how to use that file. Extracting it just gives me the file NV255MS.104 and no extension.
So, which bios is the newest one? 70.10.20.00.01 (the highest number, in the new card, but not stable in some games), 70.10.17.00.01 (in my old card, but seems stable in the games I've tried), or NV255.104 (which I don't know how to use).
I've flashed my main board bios many times over the years in various set ups, the bios on two different SSD disks and so on.. never had a problem with that, or finding out if I have the correct bios, how to do it and so on.
Maybe I'm stupid, but this MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 bios thing confuses me a lot... So, how do I solve this situation?

I am also interested in the answer as I have 2 MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC cards. I can find the latest BIOS file "NV801MS.KG4.zip" and know the version is "KG4". But how do you relate this to the current BIOS version Afterburner or GPU-Z provides? The version they each provide is "70.10.17.00.01" for both cards. The only other way to determine if they are up to date is to install and run MSI Live Update. MSI Live Update responds that they are up to date with no current version or online version information on the Live Update tab. At least the information on the Home tab states the same VGA BIOS version as GPU-Z and Afterburner. I can can only assume that the BIOS is updated by using MSI Live Update.
Also just for the additional information GPU-Z displays my VDDC as 1.039 briefly then 0.995 constantly when switching between cards. I actually have the cards set to 1.050 with Afterburner to be stable when running Crysis 2 DX11 updates.

MSI GTX 580 Lightning + Asrock Z68 Pro 3 Issue

Hi!
I just bought a new computer with gtx 580 lightning and asrock z68 pro 3 motherboard. I am having issues with the pci-e slot and the graphics card. My motherboard doesnt recognize the card. I have updated my MB bios to newest one but it didn't help. I also tried the lightning in my old gaming rig and it worked fine there. Also tried my old graphics card in my new rig and worked just fine. Power wise I should be fine because my old rig has 600w power supply and it worked, new rig has 50 wats more and is more quality PSU.
Also the red and green leds on the gtx 580 lightning are on and fans are spinning but when I try to attach the monitor it just doesnt give anything out.
I am really running out of options here and dunno what to do. I have the intel i5 2500k processor so I can use the onboard graphics to prowse the web. Also managed to install win7 64bit and MB drivers.
Anyone having this same issue ? Or any solutions to my problem? Would be nice to get my rig up and running fully.
Thanks!

AsRock already tested the combination and it works:
http://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/45683-asrock-z68-pro-3-msi-gtx-580-lightning-issue.html
Maybe the motherboard has broken PCI-e slots, as Asrock suggested, goto a dealer and check it out with them.
The combination is not a problem, but if a PCI-e slot is broken it can explain all of this.
As the card works in other systems, it's hardly possible it's the card, else it would fail too.
And yes, because an ATI card works it doesn't mean the PCI-e slot is good, have seen such before.
He replaced the board with new one Asus P8P67 Pro and still doesn't works on-board led shows VGA init error.
So 2 different brand new boards with broken slots is very unlikely. [both of them worked fine with different video cards]
The MSI's GTX 580 Lightning worked fine in meantime with the same PSU [he also tested with different one and it works fine with both PSU's on 3th board] on 3th different mainboard.
It's some kind of compatibility issue [based on all facts]

They test it but not with the same card Lightning card, they used reference card instead [MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5].
The VBIOS structure of the non reference design used on Lightning cards are very different compared to regular versions,
as well the card itself compared to reference one.

GTX 580 AfterBurner OC

Hi guys ! I want to know if i can flash my GC's for having more than 1.150 mV unlock and if i can increase my speed fan to REAL 100% !
Name: MSI N580GTX-MD2D15D5/OC (GeForce GTX 580 1,5 Go)
S/N 1 : 912-V801-1071B1012020643
S/N 2 : 912-V801-1071B1012020644
I want go over 1.150 mV because i would like to water my cg's and if i can pass out 1.150 mV i will get better performance because it can accord to me to increase more my frequencies.
I've tried to Flash with others bios card like EVGA and ASUS and it's work on one and on the second but after reboot in windows just one be detected without problem, i have tried all PCI-Express configuration, many times reinstall drivers with secure procedure but nothings working so i ask my question here !
And Can i buy somewhere Twin Frozor System for my GC's and mount it on them ?
Thanks a lot !

My GTX 580 OC will not drop the core clock frequency when idle

The model is N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC .
I have read some reviews said that the GTX580 drops the core clock down to about 50MHz when idle. But my card will always stay at 823MHz. Is this a issue or it's just working as intended? Can i have the clock auto-tunable?
Thanks in advance

MSI GTX 580 Lightning XE - no DTS-HD and no Dolby Digital TrueHD?

Hello,
I have just upgraded from the gtx 460 to 580 Lightning XE and the above audio formats are gone. I thought the 280.26 drivers caused it so I went back to 275.33 and DTS-HD and DD TrueHD are still missing.
Since the gtx 460 supports these formats I presumed that the 580 does as well.
In Playback Devices > Supported Formats, only 3 formats are listed: DTS Audio, Dolby Digital Plus and Dilby Digital
In Nvidia Control Panel, the HDCP is not supported when I select my TV/amp. When I had my tv/amp connected via hdmi cable to gtx 460, all was functioning correctly, all formats were listed.
PowerDVD and Total MediaTheater worked perfectly fine playing dts-hd an dd truehd from bluray discs, now these formats are just not available anywhere. Only normal DTS and DD is played.
I really hope that this is a software issue
DTS-HD and DD TrueHD are supported from HDMI 1.3 version. The GTX 580 chip supposedly supports HDMI 1.4a. NVIDIA and MSI please fix it!
Here's the fix request form, please can as anyone request a fix through this form? http://nvidia-submit.custhelp.com/app/ask
The chip 580 should support DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD.

have you tried msi's drivers too? http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Lightning-Xtreme-Edition.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2032
No I haven't. I didn't even think of that. I always go for the official nvidia drivers. I'm downloading it now.
edit: Installed them drivers, and no change. DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are still missing.
I found some "info" here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4008/nvidias-geforce-gtx-580/4
Quote
NVIDIA slightly revised their display controller for GF110/GTX580; the good news is that HDMI 1.4a is supported, the bad news is that full audio bitstreaming is not supported so it’s the same as it was on the GTX 480: 8 channel LPCM and lossy audio formats like DD+ and DTS. This actually caught us off-guard since we were expecting the full GF104 treatment here, but it just goes to show that this is a GF100-derrivative after all. Unfortunately this also extends to the number of displays supported – NVIDIA still only supports 2 displays on one card, so you need to run in SLI if you intend to take advantage of 3DVision/NVIDIA surround across 3 monitors.
If that's true, it doesn't look good..

N580GTX-M2D15D5 Strange CPU peak - playing game

playing the new game: Anno 2070
it keeps crashing the game at random intervals.
here is the afterburner log:
card is not overclocked at this point, just default afterburner settings just to get that log.
drivers: latest stable Nvidia drivers, also tested latest beta drivers. all resulting in crashes
can it have something to do with the card relating to the game ?
or the card drivers?
or should the error be searched in the game software?

yea card just works fine on other games.
even better, it works perfectly on other games .
stupid thing is, there is no error message.
after that peak, the game drops to the desktop and stops working (not responding)
no error messages.
on the Ubi forums i also made a topic here: http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3231027629/m/7861044469
thats more about the game.
so far the support came up with:
After checking your DxDiag again, I can see that the video card is not supported:
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
Supported Video Cards at Time of Release:
AMD® Radeon® HD2600XT or better /3000/4000/5000/6000 desktop series

Laptop models of these cards may work but are not supported.
In order for the game to run your system will need to meet or exceed these requirements
if im not mistaking, with this card im exceeding these requirements

There are divided rails 4x 12V@18A each on my PSU.
is my PSU going to handle MSI GTX 580 Lightning Extreme 3GB DDR5 ?
http://www.amazon.com/MSI-N580GTX-Li...4570127&sr=8-1
as this card has ca 30W more consumption then my current GTX560. I run it overclocked and I see no problems here. (almost on 1000Mhz Core)
As on the sites I've read they tested and they had max 20-30A, so I expect there will be no problem.
Can you guys help me figure it out?
Thank you.

Oks,
625W-155W = 470W , 470W/12V = 39A
The MSI GTX 580 Lightning Extreme needs at least 42A at +12V
I would replace that PSU with better one, [more quality one, not Fortron] and single rail [not a multi rail PSU] ==> PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=77071.0
with Single rail quality PSU like Corsair 650TX/V2, 750TX, 850TX or above depend of your needs
Ok, I'm going to CORSAIR HX1050, just to be ready for eventually SLI, overcloacking and to not upgrade 3x times :D
.. Thanks

SLI Gtx 580 issue

Hi everyone,
As the title says, I have 2 GTX 580 in SLI, both are MSI twin frozr II.
I bought the first 580 in april, it worked perfectly so I took the other one in (OC Edition) last month (mostly for BF3 :D)
Everything seem to work fine, at least almost.
Sometimes, I get BSoD, in game, but also when I'm on the web or starting the computer.
I tried to "invert" the cards, and I've found that the problem was coming from the 2nd GTX 580.
When pluggin the screen on it (2nd GTX 580), I've had things appearing. I couln't take a photo, but I've found one that has the same things:
I tried to uninstall completely the Nvidia driver, reinstall the WHQL version, the Beta version, but this problem still happens.
Do you have any idea how to fix this problem?
Or does that mean that the 2nd GTX 580 is "defective"?
Since the problem isn't happening all the time, can I still send the card back to where I bought it for a "replacement"? (if defective), I feel like they'll find no problem with it, and send it back :/
My computer specs:
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65
CPU: Intel core i5 2500k, cooler: Hyper 212+ (But ot OC for the moment)
Power Supply: Cooler master Silent Pro 1000W
Hard Drive: SSD OCZ vertex 3 120gb + 1 To Caviar Black
RAM: 4 x 2 Go G.Skill Kit Extreme3 PC10600 Ripjaws X CAS8
Case: HAF 912

Actually, I did that yesterday, that's another thing I've completely forgotten to tell :S sorry.
Well, I didn't know if I could flash when the two cards were connected at the same time, so I removed the 1st card (oldest, N580GTX Twin Frozr II) downloaded the bios file NV255MS.104.zip and flashed the 2nd card (N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC). After this was done, I did the same thing for the first GTX, bios file NV255MS.111.zip.
This afternoon, I still had 2 BSoD, one in game, the 2nd occured when the computer rebooted (didn't have time to get to the desktop -> BSoD)
Should I re-flash the vbios, but now with the 2 cards connected and bridge put on? If Yes, wich bios file should I take?
Anyway, thanks a lot for you help ^^

MSI GTX 580 Lightning original bios problem

I purchased today an MSI Lightning GTX 580 video card. My bios switch is on "original" position. I run MSI Afterburner and my stock speeds are : Core Clock 772 MHz, Shader Clock 1544MHz and Memory Clock 2004 MHz (stock cards speed). This card supposed to be oc. So do i have to RMA it or i have to change something to the bios switch to work at the right speeds?

Hi Clio16v (1.8 or 2.0? )
For your information:
We don't print clockspeeds on the box, but you will be able to find all product information on the label that is on the side of the box which has an MSI part number.
Using the codes on there, we identify a different "SKU" for instance, does it come with a game bundle, or is it only for a certain territory, is it OC'ed or not..
These codes are also what the reseller/dealer uses when he orders the cards.
In your case, if he matches the description of an OC card to a non-OC code, you end up with a product being sold (by a reseller/dealer) under wrong specs.
This is normal practice in the IT business, notebooks are the best example.
For instance, we have the GT780DX
This nice gaming machine comes with various configurations, one or two hard drives, 8, 12 or 16 GB of memory, BluRay or DVD, different keyboard layouts.
In this case (As the machine is just a few weeks old) we only have two different SKUs available of the GT780DX at newegg, but you can imagine that this varies per country ending up with a lot of different GT780DX's all with different specs.
I hope this clears things up a bit as MSI is not intentionally selling cards with wrong clock speeds.
As suggested here before, I think you will have to take this to your dealer if you want to resolve it.
First of all thank you for your reply. I think that as an end user don't have the knowledge to decrypt the serial number or part number of every vga card that is on the street right now. This is between MSI and the resellers/dealers. And it is not my business to know that i have to look on that label to find out what i'm buying that moment. My label is not saying anything about oc...But i dont know if it should say so... In the case of MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC and MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II you put a sticker on the box to seperate the two editions... Why don't you do the same for the N580GTX Lightning Edition? If you produce two different products(one oc and one stock) why dont you put it on the box to protect your buyers from every mistake (accidental or intentionally) that the resellers do? Why do i have to suffer to take the card back to the reseller, wait for a long time without the card which i have already paid for (reseller is out of stock) and have the possibility to take back a refurbish product although i paid for a new one? This is not a proper treatment from a big company like MSI not to protect their buyers... I also see that every vga card on the site (at least the expensive ones) has the same note "The specifications may differ from areas. Please check with your local dealers". So finally we never know what we are buying from MSI. All their products may have different specifications than advertised...So its a lucky pick, if you are lucky you are going to take what you paid for...Sorry but this is not right...

Two (separate) GTX 580 Twin Frozr OC running too hot?

I just just bought two GTX 580 Twin Frozr II OC. I can't run these in SLI yet but have tested both separately in my PC. Something doesn't seem right in the temps. Both cards when using Kombustor get to 85+ degrees. I was made to believe these cards are meant to be far cooler than the reference design (box states 19C cooler!). I tested the cards separately. Ambient temp is just under 30C.
Here are my relevant PC specs:
Intel Core i7 920 2.67GHz D0
Thermalright Venomous X + Scythe S-FLEX 120mm 1900rpm SFF21G
EVGA X58 Classified E760 Motherboard
Mushkin 6GB DDR3 1600 MHz Redline (998691)
Corsair HX-620W PSU
Lian Li PC-A77B (+ W75BT side window)
Scythe Kaze Master Pro 5.25"
5x Case fans (3 in - 2 out)
Pioneer S16J DVD DL-RW
Western Digital Black 1TB WD1002FAEX
Western Digital Green 1TB WD10EARS
Asus Xonar Xense 7.1
Also, when using one of these cards, it bumps my CPU from 40C to 63C idle!
Funny thing is, my GTX 470 was actually cooler than this and that card was heavily overclocked.

Quote from: hellbent joker on 28-February-11, 05:51:19
While I undertand that you will get different results I still haven't read anywhere on the internet that anybody has claimed a 19c difference with these cards or anything close to it. Have you ? If you have read it somewhere can you please post the links here.
The actual box claims it is 19C cooler than the reference cooler. See MSI's own site: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Twin-Frozr-II-OC.html

Increasing intake will not do you much good, you need to increase exhaust airflow somehow. Exhaust airflow should be greater than intake. A side intake blowing on VGA cards can help but any way you do it exhaust air still needs to be greater than intake air.
This is a good point. I'll be buying some 2200RPM Yate Loons soon from my water cooling set up (will be throttling them to 1200-1600RPM), I will install two of these in my case as a test to see if my temps drop. I'll then install more as intake as well and observe the difference.

GTX 580 artifacts

Hello!
I am using a GTX 580 Twin Frozr II and I am getting green artifacts in demanding games etc, haven't really noticed it in older games/simple programs.
What happens is that the game freeze and there are green artifacts and then it crashes back to desktop.
I have been reading some about this issue and I've seen that people either rma their card or some people suggest that you could increase the voltage or something similar. I have never overclocked and things like that so I'm not really comfortable with doing that, I want the card to work fine as it is, I mean I don't want to buy one of the most expensive cards on the market and then have to overclock/underclock it to get it to work.
I did try to rma my card, they did a lot of testing with it,they ran benchmarking programs like heaven dx11 and furmark, but unfortunately it was all good when they tried it so I got the same card back. And of course it is still happening. For example 10 minutes ago I started Just Cause 2 and played for about 1 minute untill the green artifacts appeared.
I have a Corsair AX850W so my psu shouldn't be a problem. 4GB Ram, Asrock P55 Extreme motherboard and a i5 750 at 2.66GHz.

If you download it and use something like Nibitor, it shows you the BIOS version as 70.10.17.00.01 (date: 03/01/11).
add: as it's factory OC then you should be able to RMA (IMO) no problems. But that's painful / slow and a quicker fix would be to raise the volts very slightly until you get stability back (I doubt it'd be a huge increase). Or you can always try the older 'official' BIOS.
Hi. I did RMA it, sent it back to where I bought it from. and they ran some tests but found that it was working perfectly so I got it back again..
Should I increase the voltage by one at a time and test?

Problems with my new MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC Please help

Hi, purchased the above card from kuala lumpur, Malaysia on the 19th February 2011 when I visited Malaysia. Installed the card on my Core i7 950 rig.
My card is MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC 3DMark 11 edition.
Had issues installing the card, blue screened many times. I was using a GTX295 with a 8800GT to handle physx earlier with no problems what so ever.
So I removed my 8800GT and checked only with the new GTX580, the card runs as an OC edition, but now the problem is I experience random freezing when I run 3D Mark 11 (It says " windows focus was lost" during bench mark running) and Crysis.
Even Mafia II bench marks gives me a rather low rating as "D", where I was getting a comfortable "C" with my earlier 295 arrangement. Crysis crashed many times too.
Posted here is a screen shot of my GPU Z and afterburner shows a 1000 mv. And I am using 266.58 drivers.
My Rig specs are, if it helps:
1.ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
2. Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
3. CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory
4.Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2R5 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD).
5. Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
6. Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
7. MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC Graphic Card
8. Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750-Watt TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply
9. Creative GigaWorks S750 700 Watts 7.1 Speaker
10.Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional 70SB088600002 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
11. ViewSonic 22" VX2255wmb widescreen LCD monitor
12. Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
If I am to RMA the card it's going to complicate matters as I am living out of Malaysia.. can there be a VGA bios upgrade solution? I am kind of sad that I had to purchase this card..Please advice

Hi Swet, did all the testing in between my work, sorry I got late to reply. Smiley
It's like this. Managed to get 3D Mark 11 working back again after so many tries. I just disabled the screen saver, and it was okay after that. Strange isn't it?
with 1025mV I got a reading of P6350 and with 1038 I got P6365.
we can assume this as 3D Mark 11 issue

D mark vantage running was okay. Completed Furmark bench successfully many times. No issues there. http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/furmark_score_190.php?id=147818
Looks like to be Kombuster issue.. since Furmark can work fine. Kombuster is based on Furmark.
If you apply reference clocks from AB does the issue described persist with Kombuster ?

Link received and will be checked, and also removed.[Not for public]
I didn't go ahead with it without consulting you. Please be kind to check it out for me.
Also I could play CRYSIS 2 Demo without any issue with 1025mV and 1038mV both.
Temps were around 70-75 C. Is it okay.
My personal preference is 1038mV.
Well, what do you think? Thanks very much. Smiley

I've check it and it's the same version as your current installed.
E.g. flashing to this one will not change anything
