I really like my card but it has one flaw...its throttle temp is set too aggressively @ 65c
Took me awhile to figure this out since it never dawned on me that they would set a temp so low, but anyways this made me research as best as i could and I've been flashing other cards bios, but they just simply didn't work at all.
according to this review my card should have shipped with a 75c throttle instead

I cant find it (the bios) on techpowerup
this seems to be it, but I tried it and the same thing happened, plus for some reason my Keyboard didn't work.

anyone have any ideas? Afterburner has a temp limit option which would be way easier but it seems to be for nvidia only.
and i have tried both Bios switches.

Thermals and Noise
Thanks to the custom cooler design, the PCS+ does not have a problem keeping its GPU clock high during extended intensive GPU load scenarios. The temperature goes up to 74 degrees Celsius, which is relatively low for such a big GPU.
PowerColor initially set the BIOS to keep the GPU temperature under 65 degrees, but during our review we received a new BIOS that will ship on retail cards. The new bios allows for 74 degrees, trading temperature for lower noise.
