[SOLVED] Removing factory overclock on EVGA 1080 TI SC

[atariVideoAthlete]

I recently was given a GTX 1080 TI SC. The original buyer is long gone so I can't RMA to my knowledge. Basically when running games (have been using Heaven Benchmark for testing) it crashes. Either it crashes the process or it turns off all displays and I have to restart. I've found that using Nvidia Debug Mode does fix the issue completely. I've also fixed it by under-clocking the core clock by -35 MHz. Though in debug mode it performs noticeably better than under-clocking at the minimum. How would I remove the factory overclock that was put on the card instead of using debug mode?

You cannot 'remove' a factory overclock, as it's an overclock over the FE/reference specs and is implemented at a BIOS level.
You could look to flash a FE BIOS to the card, which would achieve what you want..... but needless to say, flashing a BIOS not intended for your given card can be risky.
