Re: Convert ASUS DIRECTCU II to ASUS STRIX 0dB

So editing the BIOS to a lower or 0% duty cycle setting may have no impact whatever on the fan speed at idle. Even the ability to edit the BIOS fan settings is absent from the GTX750/GTX 750 TI cards, which is particularly annoying as in some cases the minimum fan duty cycle is set as high at 42%. ...

Re: Convert ASUS DIRECTCU II to ASUS STRIX 0dB

The Kepler BIOS Tweaking part is really universal, i guess this can be done on any branded card, as long as it's running a Kepler GPU.

Convert ASUS DIRECTCU II to ASUS STRIX 0dB

Done in Windows 8.1 64bit Pro. Tweak works fine in Fedora Linux 20 64bit Nvidia driver 331.79. Thought i would share my silent freak tweak turning an already quite silent ASUS DIRECTCU II cooling system into its STRIX 0db equivalent. My graphics card is an ASUS GTX 680 DIRECTCU II OC, installed in a...
