Bios file i used to flash it is attached.
I tested the card quite extensively, ran a lot of benchmarks and furmark burn in for a few hours. NO ISSUES. (took a few different bios flashes to get this card to work, i bricked it in the process but was able to bring it back as a secondary card in teh system)
AS ALWAYS-----ALWAYS TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CARD ORIGINAL BIOS BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING!
You're not having much luck... The twin frozr fans are tedious to put in, you have to take almost every screw out. Take a pic before you remove all the old fans where the wires go. It'll make your life easier. Hopefully this fixes your problem.
If it makes you feel any better nearly all the cards i get don't have perfect fans either. A few were good, but most need replacing.
Did the new fans fix your issue though?
How did your science experiment go? Any luck?Was reading online that many of the newest GPUs have a hybrid bios to support both legacy and Uefi bios. I’ll toss my RTX3070 in my TTX3 for science later today. I’ve read the Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1650 works with legacy bios.

I bought 4 ttx3's for cheap on Yaj with intentions on making them all multi's... or possibly building some custom PCs and reuse the case and io's...just gotta buy more cabs now.I'm actually interested in this also. I'm rebuilding in a TX3 case with an AMD 5600X and RTX3060 with no intentions of running the multi but curious for the name of science. I do have ideas.
I needed some 6pin -> 8pin adapters to for the GPU to work with the PSU. I haven't had a chance yet to put it all together because of work and other projects but hopefully will find some time later this weekI'm actually interested in this also.

Ironically that's the same PSU I've got in my computer lol. I might have to buy another if it works out.I swapped out the PSU for a Corsair SFX600. Cleans up nicely. RTX3060 arrives today, hope to post some shots soon.
I have just tried an i7 2600k on my ttx3 b13 bios and it work good. So the problem with your cpu is not bios version (microcode) related.Ok I confirm that the 2600K works on a GigaByte MB but doesn't work on my 2 Type X3
can someone make a dump of his motherboard bios that works with 2600K?

Awesome! You've been through a bit of hassle with these cards. Glad to hear you finally got it all sorted. Now you can play all the games on there with reasonable framerates! The ES3 games will thank you for it.
The fans are just shit on those cards after a number of years use. Both the msi frozr cards and the reference 680 design, reference 760's are the same. I've got 4 here, 3 with basically non working fans and one spins but vibrates... *sigh* it gets expensive trying to make these cards have working fans on them all. Most of the fan replacements you can buy now are all second hand as well, finding new ones is tricky and even more expensive.
Hopefully soon we will unlock being able to use any card on all TTX3 machines.
