    Hi fellas,
    I still have stock bios on my 1070GTX and I have no voltage control over it neither on CCC (which is crap btw), nor on MSI Afterburner.
    I'm pretty sure I have flash a custom vbios to get access to the voltage slider on MSI AB? But which one should I use?
    Thanks a lot

    Lately, things have gotten as stupid with vBIOS modding as they have been with sBIOS modding for a while now. You will have to take the system apart and use another computer with hardware programmer and a 1.8V adapter to flash a Pascal vBIOS that is not stock. And, voltage control on Pascal is pretty much a no go. Say thank you to all of the Nazi control freak losers in control of technology.

    I see that you use a SOP8 clip to flash the vbios of the cards. It's indeed easier than desolder and resolder the chip itself. But which programmer do you use? CH341A? And what 1.8V adapter? Because if I remember correctly, CH341 is 3.3V only

    You should still have access to the curve editor which lets you do much the same thing (albeit, quite a bit more tedious). Basically dragging the clockspeed up above the stock line is basically the same as undervolting.
