Well those clocks are higher than the stock clocks of the Extreme Edition BIOS (1911 Mhz Boost / 1351 Mhz Mem) so that is good to hear that the normal AMP!'s smaller air cooler can handle the extra heat output. I will be very curious to see how your testing with flashing the Extreme Edition BIOS goes. My cards arrival was delayed to tomorrow so I will have to wait until then as well!
You are using the "Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!" card with the aftermarket dual-fan cooler correct? If so, the temperatures shouldn't be that bad. Just make sure that your temps do not exceed 85C or your card will throttle. As for any tips, I have not complete this process myself yet but I will try and offer some basic guidelines.

[LIST=1]
[*]Do not, under ANY circumstances, attempt to flash this BIOS to any card(s) OTHER than the Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! and AMP! Extreme cards.
[*]The BIOS you will want to flash can be located here: [URL]https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/185008/zotac-gtx1080-8192-160616[/URL] Again, do not attempt to flash any other BIOS file than this one.
[*]Make sure you are using the very latest version of NVflash which can be found here: [URL]https://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2786/nvflash-5-319-0-for-windows[/URL]
[*]Then follow this NVflash guide to complete your flash: [URL]https://www.overclock.net/t/1523391/easy-nvflash-guide-with-pictures-for-gtx-970-980[/URL] (NOTE: With the newest version of NVflash you no longer have to manually enable / disable your GPU in device manager.)
[*]Post before and after temperatures / benchmarks / findings / etc. in this thread after you successfully complete your flash. (Or report back if it doesn't work and why.)
[/LIST]
Good luck to everyone attempting this! Just remember to be safe and to be very sure that the flash completed successfully or your card could possibly become bricked (unusable).

nvflash -6 *rom name*

when you do that command it says that the video bios is not identical and the update process has been aborted

I try both of the 1080 amp extreme bios, no difference, same error

with the 1080 amp modded fans + liquid metal paste I am not exceeding 65c even in games that pull 260w, like warframe 4k all high setting

with the 1080 amp dual-fan shroud I was having thermal problem where it went to 70c

I would like to keep my card as close to 49c because pascal gpu downclocks -13mhz everytime it passes 50c (5c increments afterwards)[/QUOTE]

Good thing is that its not bricked, just wrong bios. i did but what bios is made for the same memory? like... how can i get this extra performance?

They have now denied giving me the BIOS. I guess we will have to wait for techpowerup to have a BIOS up to test. However, according to the rep at Zotac, these cards have different Micron chips on them. If this is the case, obviously a BIOS flash will not be possible. I will copy and paste his response. Hello, I got an answer from the HQ department regarding GTX 1080 11gbps bios. They stated that these are different models of Memory. And a bios will not be make for the cards with the different ram chips. so no bios is going to be released for the older cards. But again, for the GTX1080 your going from 10.8ghz to 11ghz. A small overclock will bring the ram to that speeds. Best regards, Dan zotac USA

Zotac has definitely been rising up the ranks of my "good companies" list these days, so I hope that they come through on this one! - Insan1tyOne

AFAIK those cards are all designed exactly the same (same PCB / memory chips) as the "original" versions that we all have. If anyone has the BIOS for that card I would love to see how it performs once flashed to our cards. We would all probably see a nice little boost in performance. - Insan1tyOne
