this is my card STRIX-GTX980TI-DC3-6GD5-GAMING
Im having some issues with throttling when temps are low I have power and temp limit to the max 110% / 95C and overclocked my card 200 core and 200 memory with no volts adjusted and its all very stable and the temps are good!
often at 60 to 65 C my cards starting to throttle to stock speeds and before I even had it was downclocking to 800 mhz and stayed there a while when the temps was getting even below 60C. I have custom fan settings and its better then the just auto fan. my fans will spin pretty high when its starting to get higher temps. This frustrates me and idk how this goes. sometimes when it throttles I see in gpu-z also that it says at Perf Reason that my card is idle when I actually have my game running...
Now I am getting really curious that I want to maybe flash my card and I dont know if this will fix my problem but I want to flash it to the STRIX OC card "STRIX-GTX980TI-DC3OC-6GD5-GAMING"
As it is totaly the same card can I flash it to that one? I have here 2 websites from techpowerup where I can get the vbios
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b3...irectcu-iii-oc
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b3...i-directcu-iii
Also I my current vbios is not the first release but the 84.00.4B.00.04
I bought this card used ... or is it better to flash it back to previous vbios?
I dont know what to do here

Those are the drivers that I can download
PS: As the temps are good, I did change thermal compound paste from this gpu, maybe I put to little ammount of paste and not the entire chip is making good contact that some cores on the card is getting hotter like as an cpu? If that is the case maybe I need to put more to see if that helps but i dont know if this can be the case.
Thanks for your reply guys
