    I'm assuming you are using the vbios from my throttling fix. In the archive there are two versions. If you want to restore, just flash the non-overvolted vbios.

    ^^^, i.e., 580M.rom, using "nvflash -5 -6 580M.rom" if you want both P0 and P1 states at equal clocks to implement the vbios-based throttling fix. If you want the stock .87v version, just reflash using the burned CD.

    Yeah sorry if I wasn't any more clear, the attached archive in the throttling fix has 2 vbioses, both with the fix but one @0.87 and one and 0.92v.
