    I will have my bios cd up soon.

    I will create gpu vbioses by request .. Just tell me the clocks and I'll make a .iso that you burn to a disc and then boot off it and simply type

    2.bat for xfire models
    1.bat for single cards

    I'm having issues ATM
    Soo bear with me

    Can't you just create a bootable usb drive and use that? I followed the zfactor guide thread to create a bootable drive, perhaps that will work for you. Then I just created new bios' through RBE. Then loaded through DOS off the drive. But I still think this is a good idea, it'll help others learn too. Maybe be less risky as well.

    Also, if you try, i'd be interested to see results of 644MHz GPU clock, with Memory set at 1095MHz. Thats what I used for my top benchmarks. and was the highest stable setting I could achieve. Overvolting caused artifacts and lockups probably due to excessive powerdrain with the QX OCed as well.
