Flashing a nVIDIA card

[slaves123]

Hi, my card is an nvidia geforce mx440se which one have achievied a GREAT overclocking, and as I probed it's stability i would like to make this changes permanent, said in another way re-flash the bios as i've been looking for files it's difficult to me to find the roght tools please help me to do so and also explain me how risky is to do what i'm planning to do.

Thanks in advance, and for the ones who have not read my overclock in the Oc'ing forum here it is

Core: 350/250 Mhz
Memory: 433/333 Mhz

Is your card still under warranty? If so, see this thread

Granted, you dont have a 5900, but the same principal applies. Keep in mind that you can render your card a paperweight. Nvidia cards dont take nicely to bios flashes like ATI cards seem to do.

Yes, very nice o/c...

:Q Nice oc! I'm not sure I'd risk flashing it though, since if it goes wrong the card could become a paperweight.

so, should i forget about flashing...? if you say it it's true one more answer to convince me please! I can still have this running Oc'ed by the coolbits but it would be nice to flash the bios with the new features also changes some texts and put something like "Overclocked by me!!" in the POST screen

I remember trying to flash my Ti4400.... dead as a dodo.

Thankfully, Leadtek told me how to pop the bios onto a disk and flash it. No spare PCI cards so I had to flash blind....

I personally wouldnt flash. Not because of what has happened in the past but because I couldnt see the real point. Overclocking is as permenant as I need it, as long as Windows remembers the settings, its ok with me.

Don't flash just to have higher overclock settings from boot, its pointless, unless you need more fps for DOOM2 in DOS.
