9262 Bios Flash Help

I'm wanting to do a slight overclock to my 9800m gt's on my 9262. I'm quite familiar to overclocking, but i'm not to sure how to do the bios flash. I downloaded nibitor ver. 4.5 and I have what I think will be a stable bios saved. What do I do from there?? I have NVflash ver. 5.67 downloaded, but upon installation I get the not compatible with my operating system error. Is there another way to flash the bios???? Specs are in my sig.

 

you didn't run nvflash in windows, did you?

 

Not sure how to run it. Any help would be appreciated.

 

make a bootable USB stick, and put both nvflash and 8800m rom in it.

Got the bootable usb stick working and I have the 3 files on it: cwsdpmi, nvflashexe and the saved bios rom. when i start up nvflash i try to update the firmaware to flash by typing: nvflash [options] "file name". After that i get a error saying that the file name must have a *.rom or *.nvr extension on it. My bios saves are definately allready .roms so im not sure what im doing wrong.

 

LOL the "saved bios rom" is what you having right now! which is 500/1250/800, you need to throw the modded vBIOS into your USB stick as well.
for example, your modded BIOS called 8800M.ROM, then you will need to type in "nvflash -4 -5 -6 8800M.ROM"

 

Sorry i'm a newb to flashing. Yes the modded bios is on the mem stick. You lost me with the -4-5-6 stuff though.

 

Becuase of the ID of the cards.

 

ok and where do i get those numbers?

 

I have the modded Bios on the stick. I can get nvflash running, where I'm stuck is what command exactly do I type to get flash started???

 

wasn't I clear enough? just type what I said.

 

Thanks Nirvana I didnt know you meant those numbers exactly. It worked, sorry for being such a newb. +rep

Whats a good program to read my gpu clocks? My nvidia control panel is showing stock clocks, and so is rivatuner.

 

Use gpu-z to check clocks for 3d mode while gaming. Or you can use nibitor to make sure you did the correct flash. What settings did you change?

 

Voltage to 1.05, 3dclocks to 640/1600/980. Not too experienced with nibitor though.

 

' those clocks seem a bit high, but its your system....Download gpu-z and click the sensors tab and leave it running. Then run 3dmark06 and it will show your clocks while you are running 3dmark06.

 

Correction on the clocks, my modded bios has 610/945/1525 clocks. When I open up GPU-z it shows the gpu clocks at 500/799/1250 and under that it shows the default clocks at 610/945/1525. Is that right? The sensors are showing stock clocks right now at idle.

 

As long as default clocks shows correctly, then your flash worked.

 

Thanx for the help. 3dmark06 and crysis benchmarks stayed the same. 610/945/1525 is pretty much the safe limit right?

 

I'll have to post back after I do some more checking, nibitor 4.5 is causing some problems with my new flash, tested it a couple different ways and only my .rom files that I saved using nibitor 4.2 seem to work.

 

If anyone with the 9800m GT modded bios that wouldnt mind sharing please pm me. Mine is not too stable when I modify with nibitor ver. 4.5, so I went back to stock.

 

When I flashed my Bios to 610/945/1525 my gpu's would still run at stock speeds according to gpu-z. For fun I took the Q9650 out of my pc and put it in my 9262 and then gpu-z had shown my overclocks at 610/945/1525. I ran 3dmark06 that were real close to IKAS V's numbers. So I ended up putting the Q9550 back in my 9262 and the Q9650 back in my pc and then the clocks went back to stock. I have no clue why it does that. Can anyone explain that???? On gpu-z it has 2 areas where it shows the clocks, the first one shows the current clocks and right underneath that it shows the default clocks. When im runnin my q9550 the clocks stay stock, but the default shows the overclock. When I put in the q9650 the current clocks match the the default and both are oc'ed. I wanna get my q9550 to run with the oc'ed gpu, but no success. Anyone have a clue is to why this is happening?

 

After changing video drivers and flashing my bios multiple times with different clocks, I still cant get my gpu clocks to run past stock. Gpu-z does show the clocks that I modded as default, but those clocks arent active. I don't understand how switching the cpu to my Q9650 makes it work, but it does. Can someone with the 9800m Gt that has a Q9550 pm me there modded oc'ed vid Bios?????

 

maybe you should monitor the clockings via rivatuner. and some screenshots of your gpu-z would be nice!

 

I dont think the monitoring is the problem, because I see the modded clocks with one cpu and not with the other. And rivatuner is showing the same as gpu-z. I will post a couple screenshots in a little while. Thanx for helping Nirvana

 

maybe you need to flash separately for both cards? let me search the forum well quick.
edit: arh i can't help it, there was a thread people talked about how to OC both cards.

 

I was just about to post a couple screenshots with the clocks and I was thinking that maybe I have a software conflict. Come to find out that my nvidia performance control panel was the culprit. I uninstalled it and voila -- good to go.
