looking for GTX 580M vBios files

Hoping someone can help. i've spent ages searching to no avail. i'm trying to find a post from a guy that linked to a bunch of gtx580m vbios files including ones with different voltages. I used one of these to up my card to .92 and set p0 and p1 the same but i'm getting problems with p3 (75mhz) kicking in on some games and want to see if a lower voltage inproves things. Had a roll back disaster last week and lost the files . i'll use nvidia inspector to tweek..
TIA

 

Let me google that for you

Top result.

 

Thanks - was having a bad time trying to google it. I knew it was here but i did spend over an hour before posting. guess it's part of the problems i'm having since a stroke! Thanks again and sorry for the bother.

 

What kind of files you looking for?

 

I was looking for a post that i found that had a bunch of vbios files with different clocks on p0 and p1 and voltages that i was 'playing with. The current one has 9.2v and im having problems with p8 kicking in at around 72 degrees. games are unplayable and i have to wait till temp drops below 62 although i think it is power draw related since the temp at which it cuts in varies, so i want to drop the voltage and see waht difference that makes.
The google search Yoda... made (to your stuff - thanks!) got me to one i can use AND the links to the other stuff i lost like nvflash+commands so i'm off and testing again.

 

First question is have you performed the throttlefix with matched P1 and P0 clocks? Because your video card with throttle to P8 early if you haven't updated the vbios yet.

Now if you have, then your video card should clock to P8 at 79C whereby you need to consider a repaste or elevate the back of your laptop.

 

Yes i did this and i also tried so many bioses i got confused! So now since a complete rebuild i am starting again. I have just flashed your 8.? bios and i'm intending to use throttlestop to up the core on po/p1, just aiming for a mild overclock around 700/725 but this p8 thing is a pain. cant change any p8 settings without a complete immediate lockup
elevating the laptop helps but seeing p8 at 72C is weird...
Forgot, this is real world gaming that i get this problem (and in different games) not benchmarking.

OK fell at the first test. I'm running the stock 08 bios, clean windows, and the base bios from here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/att...ting-fix-no-need-modify-system-bios-vbios.zip.
Tried fear 3 and it hangs before getting to the menu. bioshock 2 hangs on tile screen although i have seen this back in the day and a force to dx9 cured it - since im running the steam version i've got to trawl through their stuff to find out how to pass a a parameter. If you have any ideas of what to try i'd appreciate it!

 

I didn't mean to sound hateful or angry. I was just trying to show you the search terms I used, so in the future you can find it again if needed. Give a man to fish, teach a man to fish, etc.

Honestly, if you try to find something for 5 minutes and come up empty you should post a thread asking. Since I knew the search terms to use it took me less than a minute to find it. There is no reason for you to beat your head against the wall when it is so easy for people who know what to look for to help you out.

Sorry about your health problems, hope you are feeling OK now and that you continue to improve.

 

That's OK, I see people asking questions all the time when a simple search is all they need to try. You were spot on about knowing the right terms though - I should have been able to do this as a pc professional of 20 years but my brain no longer functions as well as it should . And thanks for asking, this laptop is part of my personal plan to keep me thinking about problem solving and it sure is doing that!
