    hi,:hi2:
    i thinking of undervolting my gpus v-core in order to reduce temperatures ,i was told 1)that i should flash some custom bios 2)that i can use gpu-z to get a bios image and change the voltage.
    So i have some questions :
    1) will i have any guaranty problems?
    2) where can i find custom bios
    3)is it possible to modify the current bios with gpu-z?
    4) are there any risks?
    any suggestions i am not familiar with this kind of stuff and i am not very confident about it..

    thanks in advantage :)

    If you have a P170EM or P150EM, no luck with custom vBIOS.

    Plus, if you have issues with temperatures, there are far easier and better ways to resolve that.

    You need to go over to the tech inferno forums and make a request to SVL7, maybe put some change in the pot for a beer.
