GeForce 3 BIOS editing

[RolyL]

Anyone had a play with a GeForce 3's BIOS? I have a Gainward GF3 VIVO of the Golden Sample variety - guaranteed to o/c to 220/480 - and would like to write these clock speeds onto the card's BIOS so I don't need to use PowerStrip or put up with the screen blinking after NVIDIA's CoolBits panel does its magic. I've searched for 'GeForce BIOS editor' on Google, but don't want to run any of the programs I found without someone able to verify that they work. As they're unofficial, it would be very irritating to render my card inoperable because the programmer wasn't aware of certain spaces in the BIOS etc.

Anyone tried this? Suggest the best BIOS editor?

The Ray Adams editor is what I use. This is the website, but it's been down for a few days now. Don't know what happened to it. E-mail me and I can send you the ZIP file.

I currently have my Elsa Gladiac 920 , running with a modified Nvidia Reference Bios using a bios editing utility.

Modded the cooling with a Blue Orb, and Thermaltake Memory Sinks.

Using the stock cooling I was running : Core Clock : 225 | Memory Clock : 500

so, yes its possible..
I dont remember the web site to download the bios editor.. but someone i'm sure will come reply here shortly

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot.

Ray Adams's editor seems obvious enough, bar one thing: clock frequencies. Why are is there a list of around 10 entries for both the GPU and the memory clock? Do all need to be set to the desired value, or is altering just the first sufficient?
