    EN1070 has been on sale for months.

    Without any widespread blowing up.

    That's probably because people flash other vendors firmware in the hopes for compatibility... ;)

    If anyone has those Gecube stock vBIOS, kindly PM me!
    Cross-flashing these boards isn't as safe as it used to be with reference designs...
    I have seen 1070N designs from 90W to 150W, so probably no wonder those smaller Gecube cards get fried...

    OK, I have been sent the supposed GeCube stock vBIOS and they are just stock MSI and Clevo vBIOS...
    Whoever sold those cards already flashed them with a wrong vBIOS and cost gecube a lot of money, no wonder that they all burn up...


    @jaybee83

    Clevo and MSI have both settled for 115W TGP for the MP version.
