How to edit bios to increase voltage past 1.25v limit on gtx 970 (MSI 4G GAMING)

[xeph_]

Hi people, i want a higher stable overclock on my 970, with 1.25v (which is limit) i can get 1480mhz stable in everything, but i think if i get 1.275v i can do over 1500mhz fully stable. how do i edit/flash bios to get over 1.25v?

What program are you using to overclock?

afterburner, but still with nvidia inspector my voltage limited to 1.25v

From my experience with MSI Afterburner (mV) is the one setting you can not manually input the value. I would recommend trying other overclocking programs otherwise I believe 1.25 is the highest you can go.

ok but what would you recommend?

OC Guru would probably be the next best overclocking program for your specific card. But as I said I do not believe you can get much higher voltages.

You will probably have to find a modded bios for your card. Once you find one you can flash it and add more voltage. I'd be VERY careful. Wrong bios and you can brick your card. Also if you're on air cooling I'd be careful with that voltage. It's easy to cook a card once you start flashing things. That being said, both my 780's are flashed and its great.
