GTX570 OC Windforce Rev 2.0-where's the bios?!?!

I've got the rev 2, the current bios on the board is F80.
I've tried updating to F91, but it keeps telling me the bios version doesn't match, and won't flash....

Hi

I think there might have been a problem with the F91 firmware as there is a F92 out now to tkae it's place.

Hi Kungpaoshizi,  ;)

I am not sure, but why not try...

Maybe remove all graphics card drivers from windows .. nvidia drivers...etc..

Driver notes : before install new driver,
Please completely remove older version driver first with :
Drivers sweeper : http://phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/Version-3-2-0/

and soft for  Windows Registry :
Ccleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
jv16 PowerTools 2011 http://www.macecraft.com/downloads/jv16pt_setup_hb.exe
Wise Registry Cleaner Pro http://www.wisecleaner.com/soft/WRCPro.exe

and restart the computer.

Now REtry install a bios firmware for your graphics card... From Gigabyte us.

Well, I tried this, completely removed everything hardware/software and went with nothing installed, still says bios version does not match....
Someone suggested perhaps they labeled the box wrong with version 2, but indeed the power sockets for the pci-ex power is (2) 6pin plugs, not the revision 1 8+6..

Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm a bit disappointed, I really just wanted to make sure the bios was up to date, and be able to turn the secondary fan up to 100% versus the 85% max...

I'm almost thinking the only thing I might be able to do is edit the bios backup and manually edit the max fan speed using the Nvidia bios editor...
