how does kepler architecture graphics mask

the memory channel?

Kepler architecture graphics card, the core code to GK1XX, GK2XX name, because the
graphics card is known as the macaque said, so can not only look at GTXXX models
such as rigid sets. Shielding the memory channel, so that the original disability can
not use the graphics card, through certain software means, discard the damaged part,
so that the remaining normal part can still be used normally, this is the most
fundamental purpose. So how do I mask the memory channel?

THE CAUSE IS BECAUSE OCCASIONALLY GET A D CHANNEL DAMAGE GTX770, AS

THE CORE PHYSICAL DAMAGE, CHIP SUBSTRATE WAS ARTIFICIALLY REMOVED A LOT
OF D CHANNEL WELDING SPOT, AND THEN FIND A WAY TO REPAIR THE D
CHANNEL IS NOT REALISTIC, UNLESS THE CORE CHANGE, HOW TO MAKE THE
REMAINING ABC THREE CHANNELS WORK PROPERLY IS THE FOCUS. BELOW WE
INTRODUCE THE VBIOS BY MODIFYING THE GRAPHICS CARD, SHIELDING THE D
CHANNEL, SO THAT THE GRAPHICS CARD CAN ALSO WORK PROPERLY.

methods/steps to mask the memory channel:

FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEED TO USE THE DEVICE TO EXTRACT THE VBIOS OF THE
GRAPHICS CARD, PROGRAMMER OR SOFTWARE EXTRACTION CAN BE, AS LONG AS
IT IS COMPLETELY EXTRACTED OUT OF OK. NEXT, WITH A 16-BIT FEED COMPILER
LIKE WINHEX, OPEN THIS VBIOS FILE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S ALL GARBLED.
open search and select find 16-digit values.

a dialog box pops up.

IN THE DIALOG BOX, ENTER "7AC82502" AND THEN CLICK OK BELOW.
you'll find this page.
The red box circles out the place where it is to be modified. Now is 00, modified into
different numbers, you can shield the corresponding channels, the following table is
the channel you want to shield and the corresponding number (I take GTX780 to do
the verification, to verify the 6 channels 384bit required to shield the specific
parameters of each channel)

NOW YOU WANT TO MASK THE D CHANNEL, SO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT TO 08

AND SAVE IT.
at this time can not be swiped directly into, otherwise it can not hit the driver, the
graphics card has an exclamation point prompt 43 code.

CheckSum is used as a small software to verify.

SELECT OPEN FILE, SELECT SAVED BIOS, IT WILL BE CALCULATED AUTOMATICALLY,

THE RESULT IS "804B18.""

AND THE ORIGINAL BIOS AFTER THE CHECK CALCULATION, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE
LAST TWO ARE "00"

THIS IS BECAUSE NVIDIA HAS SOME ENCRYPTION OF THE BIOS OF KEPLER

ARCHITECTURE GRAPHICS CARD, THE ALGORITHM IS THAT THE CONTENT MUST BE
DECIMAL UNDER THE 256 WHOLE EXCEPT NOT TO LEAVE THE REMAINDER,
OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT BE DRIVEN TO IDENTIFY. CONVERTED TO 16 IN, THAT IS,
THE LAST TWO MUST BE "00", AND NOW THE LAST TWO ARE 18, WHICH IS
CERTAINLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. SO YOU HAVE TO MODIFY THE PARAMETERS SO
THAT THE LAST TWO DIGITS BECOME "00".

now open the commonly used calculator.

select programmer.
THE LAST TWO DIGITS ARE "18", WHICH IS THE VALUE UNDER THE 16-IN SYSTEM,
CONVERTED TO A 10-IN SYSTEM, THAT IS, "24", SINCE THE NEED FOR 256 WHOLE
DIVISION DOES NOT LEAVE THE REMAINDER, THEN MUST ADD "256-24 X 232"
CONTENT, "232" CONVERTED TO 16-IN IS "E8".
SO IN THE GREEN BOX SECTION, MODIFY THE ORIGINAL "00" TO "E8".

SAVE THE RE-CHECK AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE PARAMETER IS "804C00".
THAT'S JUST 100 MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL BIOS CONTENT, AND THE LAST TWO
ARE 00. THIS TIME THE BIOS CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THE DRIVER.

BRUSH INTO THE MODIFIED BIOS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE MEMORY BIT WIDTH IS
192BIT, THE MISSING 64BIT IS THE SHIELDED D CHANNEL, 1536MB OF THE MEMORY
CAN ALSO BE PROVED.

run a lu master to see the score, not bad.
