Stephanrx7 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 How do I check if my 980 ti is using Samsung Ics? Quote
elmor Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 GPU-Z Memory Type field will tell you, for example GDDR5 (Hynix). Might be incorrect if you flashed non default bios however. Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Good info - OCP is fixed now Quote
Lays Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Good info - OCP is fixed now Sweet! I hope you can push them further with the fix, would be cool to see how far you can get. Will you be adding the fix to the original post? I doubt I'll ever need like 1.8 VGPU, especially since I'll most likely be sticking to dry ice. But it would be nice to know in case I ever use Ln2.

Doug2507 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Any info on quality of chips between plat and 20th gold? Anniversary high bin? Quote
elmor Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) New LN2 bioses, improves memory overclocking. Also works for Strix 980Ti with Digi+ ASP1212 VRM controller, does NOT work with cards using SHE VRM controller. Ask if unsure. m980ti_ln2t3s.rom = Samsung m980ti_ln2t3h.rom = Hynix https://copy.com/mUeu8OHRe9K72Dla OCP fix will not be made public since it's only needed at max freq on LN2 with 1.8V+. In any other situation it's not a problem and only increases the risk of your card being damaged. Edited February 16, 2016 by elmor Quote

Dancop Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Those bioses are amazing! Gained performance and mem clock a lot. On hynix cards I did 2070 with stock voltage before! Now it's 2180 and with 1.65v it was 2110 before, now it's 2210+ Always tested in sli...might be that single card gains more...tests on cold to come! Quote
Lays Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Flashed it on my Samsung card, got weird "cannot load bios" error from GPU Tweak 2 on startup, power target max %110? Is it still supposed to be 200% like the other Ln2 bios? Can't test more as I have to go to work, but I can test more tonight when I get home. Quote

Do you have LN2 mode enabled? Which version of GPUTweakII? Quote
Lays Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Yes, I get 200% power limit. Do you have LN2 mode enabled? Which version of GPUTweakII? The newest one from asus site if I remember right. 1.3.0.6? I'm not sure I'm at work right now so I can't check which version. I'm fairly sure I shut the pc off, flipped to ln2 mode then flashed the bios, restarted pc and I wasn't getting display output for some reason. Then I flipped to normal mode, and display was working. Then I restarted in ln2 mode and had display, but power limit was 110%. Maybe the flash didn't work or something, or maybe I didn't flip the switch far enough to ln2 mode. I'll look when I'm home in 4.5 hours. Quote

Without this the BIOS switch has no function. Quote

Without this the BIOS switch has no function. Aww yes 1.1.6.9 is the one I'm on, I couldn't remember the numbers. Yeah, the old bios was working for me giving 200%. I shorted ln2 pads with a pencil, it's possible maybe the pencil rubbed off. I will check when I get home, I have a soldering iron now so I can do it properly. Need to watch some how to guides on soldering first maybe, I've only done it once lol. Don't want to mess anything up! Quote
elmor Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 You can check if LN2 mode is enabled with this software https://copy.com/CGLgUGdHMNFMiqIY Quote
Lays Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) You can check if LN2 mode is enabled with this software https://copy.com/CGLgUGdHMNFMiqIY Yeah it's enabled. Here's a picture of the error I keep getting from GPUTweak: Tried to reflash BIOS: Tried using safe mode: Edited January 21, 2016 by Lays Quote
nacho_arroyo Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Great stuff, i will test it on my Strix. Quote
Bruno Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 New bios is better than previous in terms of efficiency and clocks. I used it on H2O. Quote
elmor Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Same bios for Strix v1 with SHE VRM controller and Hynix memory https://copy.com/DfKL6xQ1RaIR8RfC Quote
DrWeez Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Tested the bios last night on 980ti Poseidon works great on air 1575/2200 was easy, 1600 looks possible on water and will try tonight. Much better than the old bios í ½í¸€ Quote
Lays Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Yep yep yep, new BIOS definitely works!!!! Haven't tested lower volts yet, but 9000 effective @ 1.775v from DMM working fine! Quote
hotrod717 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Nice write up and guide! Any thoughts on testing with Matrix OC Tool? Any functionality or monitoring improvements to be had with the tool over software? Quote
David090491 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Guys please give BIOS for ln2 for 24/7 operation and sorry for my angliski memory I have from Samsung Quote
elmor Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Guys please give BIOS for ln2 for 24/7 operation and sorry for my angliski memory I have from Samsung Hi David, you can flash this bios without LN2 Mode enabled. But remember they are unofficial BIOSes with no warranty. Quote
David090491 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I activated ln2 mod thinking that will get at least 1500mhz but alas in the end I got 1480/3400 voltage 1.234 upset me platinum video card matrix Quote
