Is there a way to backup the VBIOS? I'm trying to backup my VBIOS (TUF 4090 NON-OC) and GPU-Z doesn't let me lol

Mostly, to update to the newer VBIOS and having the backup in the case it goes wrong; also to submit it to the VBIOS database.

Back from vacation and I think I missed a pretty wild ride with my 4090 sitting in the box. Could use some help getting the TLDR version:

Is the exploding connector only an adapter problem? I have the CableMod native cable doodad so I shouldn't need the adapter.
Any blocks yet for the MSI cards besides EK? Quick look seems like no.
Best BIOS right now to flash for 600W? I saw a couple posts about the fan control going wonky.

It seems to be an only adapter problem, so in your case you won't have issues.

What's your 4090 model? If you have an Gaming X Trio/Gaming Trio, and your cablemod is 4x8 pins (or directly 12vhpwr), probably the Gaming OC VBIOS, or the ASUS TUF one should be fine (both support 600W, IDK which of them has faster fan speeds tho, on my TUF my max is 3000RPM I think); can't comment on the Suprim X Liquid/Suprim Liquid since I'm not sure how the fans would work on an air cooled card.

...seeing all these vbios posts, has anyone updated their RTX 4090 Gigabyte Gaming OC vbios ? Any difference in performance before / after ? Their release notes only say s.th. about compatibility

Wondering the same on my TUF, gonna flash in the night probably and see if it makes any difference (the only changelog is improved compability)

Has anyone had a crash where their PC goes to black screen and spins the GPU fans to 100%? Had this happen twice. Happened to me once while gaming, once while watching youtube. Freaked me out at first, but temps were fine both times, and the connector wasn't particularly warm or hot to the touch, so I'm guessing driver bug/crash?

Any info in Windows' Event Viewer?

These (black screen + fans 100+%) have always been hardware/power related for me on my 3090. It was usually either a loose power connector, some silver paint traces I had left on the PCB (long story), or a burnt cable somewhere. But yeah Event Viewer might have something, though usually driver crashes for me were either momentary black screens, BSOD's, or hard restarts.

No difference. Make sure you back up the original VBIOS before you flash it, just in case.

Damm thats nice.

Just got my TUF OC.

Played a few games.

I got to 2760MHz stock speeds/voltage.
MSI AB report 405W power draw.
Max 60°C.

Is this good?

Few more questions.
How do I get higher clock speeds if I have more thermal head room?

Do I just use MSI AB, and just add frequency until my games/stress test crashes, then back down frequency?

Do I need to add voltage? How do I do that? Can I still use MSI AB or should I use an Asus program since I have the TUF OC?

Yep that stock performance is what most should expect.

Use MSI AB, but make sure you get the latest beta as it has voltage control for 4090.

Massively diminishing returns adding voltage, but you can. Usual cycle of increasing frequencies and testing for crashes, yes.

You should expect, maxxed power limit and voltage, to hit somewhere in the 3ghz on core, and most are getting +1500 on the memory, some of us a nice chunk more, some less.

Best I can figure is it was these two nvlddmkm errors from event viewer.... This was this afternoon while watching a youtube video. Not sure if relevant, but it was after an hour of playing modern warfare 2 which FILLED my event viewer with DistributedCOM warnings about application-specific permission settings.

First time it happened was several days ago and I can't identify that far back which error it was.

The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\000000eb
UCodeReset TDR occurred on GPUID:100

The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table
