eVGA GTX 770 SC ACX

Hi, If you buy this card be aware that the minimum fan speed is set to a default of 41%. This makes it quite loud.

 

There is a BIOS on softpedia that is compatible for these cards and others and for mine has set it to a minimum of 28%. Much better

 

I'm in contact now with eVGA to see if they can offer me a BIOS as I want it from the source. Just a heads up. Not sure if it's the same with other makes.

I have EVGA 760 GTX and noticed that the card fan is always at 43%.. How do you install bios updates for graphic cards? Softpedia article mentions some sort of bios switch. And why do I need to download bios updates from softpedia and they are not available from official EVGA site?

THat's the question I wants answered

 

I've done...Yeh, have a look at your card, on the circuit board part near the top middle. There is a switch..

Switch the top one, when PC is off and unplugged. Reboot.

 

Now, download the correct BIOS, click the flash. I heard a beep and it said compatible card found. Flashed and now my minimum is 28%

 

Much better

 

If I get an answer from EVGA I'll report but if I were you I'd register ya card if ya haven't already and ask like I have.

Have you tried something like msi afterburner which lets you define your own levels for fan speeds. It has worked for me for a few different brands of GPU not just msi, but I dont know specifically for your card.

I've heard it's the same. I use eVGA precision X.

 

It's a BIOS issue with these cards.

 

This is the reply I've got from eVGA:

 

unfortunately we don´t offer the fanspeed unlocker BIOS for your product, but I will forward your request to our engineers and product manager; if I got a feedback I will contact you.

 

 

 

Not the best reply I've had...
