Hi,

I created an account just to post my problem here.
I just installed the new bitspower waterblock on my lightning Z.
It took me many hours to realize that the GPU goes to safe mode (stuck at 1350 MHZ) when the stock fans are not plugged in...
I tried both bioses, even the new LN2 bios... doesn't work.

To make it work, I had to remove the fans from the stock cooler and plug them in the PCB while having the waterblock on.
It's quite ridiculous...

It's a card built for LN2 overclocking... of course A LOT of people are gonna remove the stock cooler.

MSI can you please fix this quickly with a new vbios?

Thanks

have the same problems with the 2080 ti lightning z after installing a waterblock
the german support of MSI does not seem to know this problem and says the graphics card is broken and i should contact the seller for warranty claims...

may someone send me the latest version for vbios (regular and/or ln2)

Can you share this bios with people on other cards than the Lightning Z? I'm on an X Trio and there's a weird bug with some of the X Trio-cards where any power limit % above 110% gets ignored, so far only XOC-bios has been able to exceed 330W. I'd love to try a Lightning Z LN2-bios. There's a couple of posts about this bug on OCN.

Thanks!

No, I can't. Crossflashing is anyway not supported on this forum, the vbios is not compatible and it voids the card's warranty to use a wrong vbios. 

Also don't hijack other topics please.

Hi, I also use the RTX 2080 Ti Lightning graphics card and replaced the fan with a water block, exactly like the situation described in this thread. This issue has troubled me for several years, and I only discovered this post in 2024. Can anyone send me the BIOS? Thank you so much.
