cd /hive/sbin

nvflash_linux can be used here to flash cards one by one with && connect each command like:

cd /hive/sbin &&
wget http://192.168.2.139/palit.rom &&
nvflash_linux -i0 -6 palit.rom &&
nvflash_linux -i1 -6 palit.rom &&
nvflash_linux -i2 -6 palit.rom &&
nvflash_linux -i3 -6 palit.rom &&
nvflash_linux -i4 -6 palit.rom &&
nvflash_linux -i5 -6 palit.rom &&
nvflash_linux -i6 -6 palit.rom &&
nvflash_linux -i7 -6 palit.rom

flash without -i will cause error except the first card, seems like a bug.

Hi, is your gpu an asus triple fan? I have 3 of them here but afraid of brick and not being able to restore the backup bios… my current bios version is 90.16.4F.00.73… remember what your version was before? Thank you… and I also have 1 fan palit, stormx, on the forum I saw reports of problems with this model

[MarcioS]

Hello, help please friend, for the palit 1 fan 1660 SUPER StormX NE6166S018J9-161F, will it work? have you seen reports of this stormx model? Thank you I also have asus TUF 3fans

[MarcioS]

Hello, I have 3 asus just like yours 90.16.4F.00.73 thanks for your report, but tell me you did it for hiveos or windows -6 what are you talking about? And yours is stable? Thank you

1660S Super Asus Phoenix (1Fan)
Before;

After Palit Bios;

Testing Stability on these settings, copied from hiveOS community.
3.5Mhs increace with almost no efficiency lost.

Flashed with Hive OS.

@joaosilvaa93

Flashed with Hive OS.

THAT IS AWESOME! I will try flashing mine now

[kadiablo28]

@ssross I have the same card. Was the config you applied stable?

[joaosilvaa93]

Anyone have a sweet spot overclock profile for stability?
My 2 x Asus 1660S Phoenix OC (1Fan), been doing really great.

1 of it was stable for 2 whole days at 1035 core and 2200 mem (35.12 Mhs) - Lowered to 2100 (been stable for other 2 days at (2100) ~ 34.95 Mhs
the other same model, in 24 hours crashed twice with this settings (Err - Fan Error), lowered mem in 100mhz steps, now it’s at 1900 mem ~ 34.50Mhs

Any tips?

[mljtheshield]

Did you do this from a command line, or with the HiveOS gui? I get an error when trying to flash in HiveOS; I tried in maintenance mode. I’d love to not have to grab this Asus Tuf 1660S and throw it in a windows box.
Can anyone do a quick write-up on how to flash in HiveOs?

Here’s what I did:

As sugested by @asukahan I upload a file to somewhere that would respond to a wget request. In his case (scroll up to check) he used a machine inside his local network, I used AWS S3 instead (you can create a free account or probably use any other cloud storage with some research (onedrive, google drive or dropbox)).

Step by step:

1. Go to worker options → Maintenance Mode Without Loading Drivers

2. Go to Power Actions → Reboot

3. Once your worker is up again, go to ‘remote access’ → Hive Shell Start

4. Once you shell is ready (check you hive log msgs) open it through the tiny square that you’ll see on the log

5. It will open a separate browser window, wait for it to load and then type the commands in the following order:
   cd hive
   cd sbin
   sudo wget https://www.your-host-option-s3-onedrive-dropbox-whatever.com/Palit_GTX1660SUPER-6G-90.16.59.00.28.rom
   sudo nvflash_linux -i0 -6 Palit_GTX1660SUPER-6G-90.16.59.00.28.rom

6. restart to normal (non maintenance mode) and be happy

ps1: you’ll have to do the “nvflash_linux -i0 -6 Palit_GTX1660SUPER-6G-90.16.59.00.28.rom” part for as many times as your number of GPU’s - beware the “-i” is a zero-indexed parameter so your first VGA should be zero and so on)
ps2: You’ll be asked to press ‘Y’ twice for each GPU to confirm the BIOS rom name etc
ps3: dont forget to download and backup your original ROM, just in case…

Mine are all ASUS TUF 2 fan model

[mljtheshield]

I have the exact same Asus Tuf 2 fan model. Thanks for the write-up! You wouldn’t happen to still have the link available would you? I only have one card to do…

[Grasa]

Bro can you create video tutorial thanks.

[sandeepbiswal]

Yes please make a video… this would be very helpful for us noobs…

Followed the instructions; I renamed the Bios to “Palit.rom” for simplicity.
My 1660 Super (Gigabyte TUF 2 fan) is GPU3 (i.e. the 4th device from the top):

Very weird! Mine are all 1660s so I had no problem finding the correct indexes. I think you are using the wrong one!

would you please use the command nvflash -a ou nvflash --list and paste the result?

EDIT: The command might be nvflash_linux --list ou -a cuz of OS
