Default 2 of the same cards, different bios, issues?

As the title says.... I have to Asus EN9800GTX+ Dark Knight Editions, Purchased about 4 months apart. They have 2 different Bio's. One is the most recent, and the other 2 versions or so prior. Are there any issues with that as far as stability or anything else? I *THINK* the newer one runs a bit cooler, so perhaps that is reason enough. How do you flash a card when you have 2 installed? <bios flashing nub here.

just use rivatuner to tune them to the same speeds, regulate fan speeds and you should be fine. are you having stability issues?

Cant OC them much at all. No memory sinks on there stock, so I haven't touched that, but so far the only thing stable I can get is 760/1100/1900 Where stock is 740/1100/1836 (core, mem, shader)

I am more just trying to get everything perfect so once i get the mem sinks in the mail and installed, I can push these babies, especially since one is going to be water cooled (it runs almost 20*c higher when both are folding, stupid narrow spaced PCI-e slots.

thats some nice shader speeds you've got there. I tought these things could go over 850 mhz easily, maybe i am wrong?

I have seen a lot of cards go to 800 or so then have issues past that. I'm gonna try to push my shader some more and see what happens!

i have to tell you that I have never been able to succesfully push the shader clocks up and be stable.

yea, 1900 is the stable limit. i might try to increase it by like 3 each step and see if i can go more, but 1950 and 2k are both unstable. Next I'll try the Core, but not till at least my top card is Water cooled.... 87* while folding is a little high for me :x the other card is comfortably at 70*c though
