Finding update to 9600gt bios?

Hello

I have a xfx 9600gt and I want to update the bios due to the 100% fan speed during bootup issue.

XFX says there isn't a bios update available for this model (pv-t94p-ydf4)

I've downloaded another XFX 9600GT bios but it seems to be incompatible:

Current - Version:62.94.11.00.00 ID:10DE:0622:1682:2362
G94 Board - 05450010 (Normal Board)
Compare with - Version:62.94.68.00.96 ID:10DE:0622:1682:4012
G94 Board - 05450019 (Normal Board)

ERROR: Mismatch at offset 0x00000002

I absolutely HATE the 100% fan speed during bootup...is there some way I can fix it from within Win7 x64?

 

Use http://downloads.guru3d.com/NVIDIA-BIOS-Editor-v5.2-%28nibitor%29_d2050.html to edit the downloaded bios's device ID to match yours. and use nvflash to update,

1. boot to floppy or USB
2. type nvflash -b old.rom to backup your bios
3. type nvflash -p -u -f newbios.rom
4. Reset computer
5. Reinstall drivers if needed.

 

Should the BIOS with a different ID be safe to use with my card?

 

Yes just use nibitor to change the bios to match your card's ID.

Cool thanks!

I edited it to match everything under adv. info in nibitor, but I get this error upon flashing now:

Checking for matches between display adapter(s) and image(s)...

Adapter: GeForce 9600 GT (10DE,0622,1682,2362) H:NRM B:01,PCI,D:00,F:00

WARNING: Firmware image Board ID (9431) does not match adapter Board ID (9404).

ERROR: Board ID mismatch

Is this normal? Should I try and force it to continue anyway?

 

Ok so I ended up modifying its current BIOS, but I can't seem to fix the high fan speed problem. Do I need to set the PWM freq to low maybe?
Under "temperatures" I have everything set to 35% and under the IC settings it's set to a fixed 35% and high freq PWM.

 

All of those values are set to 35% but I still get 100% fan speed during bootup until the driver is loaded.

 

Ehm , let me first say this:

1- You shouldn't change that setting. It's kinda Fail-safe to keep your graphics card cool.
2- Are you using a 9600GT Mobile graphics card or a actual PCI-E 9600GT graphics card.
3- If you using 9600 Mobile , you would probably brick your graphics card if ya try to flash it with a normal PCI-E 9600GT BIOS. (mainly cause the actual way the card is build is completely different.

Oké, but if you are perfectly oké with flashing it with an incompatible BIOS. I could give you my BIOS

Here is a screen shot of my GPU-Bios of my card:

 

The card doesn't need that failsafe
It's a normal PCI-e card
I gave up on it so no thanks.

 

Dude then maybe change your Video-card in your signature to a 9600GT and not a 9600M GT , cause M stands for mobile

 

note the JHL90 + P8600 + Sager N2096 bits...it's pretty obvious that I also have a laptop.

 

ehm yes, but I hope you not trying to flash that laptop graka with a desktop bios :lol
