But there where people that said @ 20% its still working..so i guess its different from brand to brand..but most of them are @ 30%..

Ok,thank you.

Larus seems you should be ok with 25%,chek your idle temps though,if you live a warm place,you dont want it too low as it might ramp up in 2d on a hot day.
Personally i would find that more annoying than a higher but steady rpm.

@BetA13
OK. Thanks. I thought you had referenced cooler As I said I already discovered everything about my MSI Hawk but it's a custom pcb and custom cooler based. But now I realized that almost every GTX460 has some custom cooler. I was just curious

burebista tried to uncap my voltage for my MSI N460GTX HAWK but MSI Afterburner still don't show that i can go higher than +100 on Core Voltage but "Nvidia Inspector" from Orbmu2k showed that i could so could anyone else try to uncap the voltage for me to see if MSI Afterburner will allow me to go higher than +100 (1.087v)?

u can dl my bios here: MSI.N460GTX.HAWK.GF104.rar (4Shared)

Hy,

i think MSI dont want u to go past these Voltages, so i guess its better to use NVinspector for that..

Anyway, i edited the Bios and raised the Max. Volt to 1.212.

You might give it a try..Maybe reinstall MSI Afterburner and reboot will work...There where a few people here that had to reboot or reinstall afterburner to get it right..

Best of Luck, Greetz Beta

thx BetA13 i will try it out soon and report back, i am using Afterburner 2.1.0 Beta 5 but i will update to Beta 6 when i flashed my card to see if it will help if Beta 5 don't show anything ^^;

[puma99dk|]

nope that didn't help BetA13 i even installed Beta 6 still only goes up to +100 no more.

After Flash:



Reboot after first start up after flash:



i saw on Guru3D for the 2.1.0 Beta 6 version of Afterburner they showed this:


it's a MSI N460GTX Hawk card that's uncapped so it should be possible and ino i use a newere driver but that shouldn't be the limit should it?

hmm, i dont know, maybe theres something not set in afterburner...did u check the MSIAfterburner.cfg in the directory?

thx for the try Btea but it looks like MSI made it so the Hawk can't get +200 in Afterburner anymore.

that's from my topic at the afterburner section: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=337549

[BetA]

ok, i knew it. lol..

so? just use NVInspector..it does work with it right?

Gretez Btea

[puma99dk|]

yap Inspector shows the total voltage, no problem there, oh and i got my hands on Orbmu2k's Fermi Bios Editor 1.55 it's leaked on a russian site but u can google it and find it very easy now,

but thx for the try Btea ^^

[cowie]

Hi Beta whats up bro.
560 ti bios you want to try to play with it using the tools you have?
They may work.
thanks
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XBCT8ZWH

i saved it with gpu-z 5.1

[puma99dk|]

looks like Orbmu2k needs to update his FBE to support GTX560 Ti.




i had read that the donated version of NiBiTor supports GTX560 Ti ^^;

[BetA]

jup...but i doubt it there will be an Update...cause of the leakage last month...

With nibitor u wont be able to change fan settings
But maybe i´ll get my version of it..

But we will see....

gretez Beta..

[civato]

Hi BetA13, with NiBiToR(6.01 , not public) you can mod bios of GTX560ti and you can change fan settings. You can change fan settings with NiBiToR on the GTX460 ,570 ,580 and 560ti.
I updated my guide , for this new GTX560ti , check it out.http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=336117

Hi BetA13,

I tried to make an image of my BIOS using Nibitor and when its done making the image the integrity is red, same goes for making an image using GPU-Z, would you happen to know whats wrong? Id like this clarified before I send over my bios for editing.

Im using a GTX460-OC from Inno3d

hmm, first, hy there..

No i dont know whats wrong, but iu should try to use GPU-Z 0.4.7 or 8..they work 100% as far as i know. Or u use NVFlash to make that backup..These are the safest ways...

greetz Beta

[diabolic2014]

470 is friend card, not mine
i used 0.5.1, strange.....
now use 0.4.7, try again please

oki doki..here it is..i set it to 20%..hopefully everything will work, cause i had to use Nibitor...But it will

greetz Beta

By the way, min fan speed of 30% was allready Set..so i just made the Bios with 20%, so u have one Bios (original one) with 30% and my modded one with 20%...

GPU-Z 0.5.0 not reliable enough ?

your bios was bad, so i guess not..use NVFlash or an older gpu-z.

like 0.4.7 or 8...

sorry about that but its the best way to get an Good Bios backup...

Ok used 0.4.7 and now it shows green with Nibitor, I just need to relearn how to flash nvidia bios again haha

Heres my uploaded bios from a Inno3d GTX460OC, please unlock the fan speed to 100% max and also the voltage. Thank you!
