DiKey, I confirm, it's official bios from GIGABYTE.

Lindrian, have you tried it? If yes what are your findings regarding the temperature?
ZX-S & C64 are still my favourites ;-)

F3 BIOS
And + 1 bug: 94-95% fan rotating FASTER then 96-100%! (i hear that it is trooth!)

93% = 3240-3270 RPM
94% = 3360-3390 RPM

95% = 3300-3330 RPM

96% = 3240-3270 RPM
97% = 3240-3270 RPM
98% = 3240-3270 RPM
99% = 3240-3270 RPM
100% = 3240-3270 RPM

Thanks for spotting this 3 % difference.
But does it rotate faster than VGA with the previous bios?

Graphic cards with no OTES should be banned from SLI rigs ;-) Otherwise you've got overheating problem.. does temperature regard to first card in SLI (in my SLI first card is always hotter 10 degs) ? If so, side fan should help a bit, but it must do exhaust job, not intake. Are you sure your bridge is not overheating, too ? I'd try to maximise all intake fan's speed and minimise all exhaust ones speed, if it fails - change GTXes to OTES ones (or do some WC), with fan regulation (Asus ?). It's not an offence for GB, you can keep GB's motherboard ;-)

Have you tried the NVIDIA SYSTEM TOOLS WITH ESA SUPPORT? They allow me to control my GTX480 fans manually.

OR

Try the MSI AfterBurner, it allows you to make a fan speed curve too

Is it confirmed that the F3 bios solve the 70% fan speed limit? I am very reluctant to update my VGA bios, what method would you use, the @Bios or the other one (described here in the forums)?

I did it the stupid way using @bios. It seems to have worked anyway. ;)

OK well I am glad it worked for you this time but I wouldn't push my luck in the future if I were you. ;)

Did it cure the problem though?
