I WAS A LITTLE BIT SARCASTIC when i replied to the op post , but there was a reason why , you can read below I didn't know it was that big of a deal. I've seen many other forums where people are posting their rom files. How about instead of trolling you just move along and leave those of us that are willing to help one another mod their GPU's.
The problem is , a lot of ppl got "help" , but on the wrong way .
Modding bios files is more than just copy and paste mem straps ... Yes you can get copy/paste mem strap modded bios files from all over the internet , then you going to come back to this forum and asking questions like , why one (or few) of my cards hashrate is dropping from 28 to 20MH/s , why my rig is not stable , why my pool side reported hash rate is much lower what im seeing on my computer , or just a few topic back : " I have try to use different modded bios but after few minutes of dual mining the computer crash with no particular error on log" ...etc
If you have successfully modded your GPU BIOS please post the Make and Model of your GPU and a URL to your moddem *.rom file here.
Happy Mining!!!!
You not even know how to ask this question
the most important when you are talking about modded bios is the bios version number. The same make/Model card can have different bios version , most of the time those bios files are not interchangeable ! in some case yes !
I received a lot of PM , members asking me to provide REAL MODDED BIOS files for they VGA cards , optimized for ETH/Zcash/XMR ...etc
BUT when im asking them about they current bios version number , or silent/gaming bios , i got back a pm right away , Where , How can i find the bios version number for the card or what is the silent bios ? If you dont know how or where , then before you going into the "modding bios movement" , you should do more research on your own , then asking question . This way you can get real help !

There is a reason why you not going to get a list of modded bios file. The members who know a little bit about modding bios files want to make sure , newbies not going to screw up they vga cards , just bc they find a modded bios file , downloaded and flashed to they card , without know they bios version number , without they even know what bios they going to flash ( silent / gaming )

!!a lot of VGA cards going to be " savage " if members , newbies starting to flash they cards with the wrong bios version file !!
Summary:
- ppl calling modded bios just bc they paste/copy mem straps . That is ok , those bios files are not optimized to nothing , but going to give you higher reported hash rate , and probably much lower real hash rate on the pool side ,higher power consumption , your max gpu fq overclock will be much lower . You always should check the vga cards for memory error...
- If you flashing your card make sure you get the right bios version number , or you going to have some problem or you can brick your cards ...
- Real modded bios files are optimized for different coins , with max hash rate / low power consumption , what working great with ETH , probably going to give you real trouble for zcash or xmr
- ASIC quality have effect on tuned , modded bios files , so if a modded bios is working fine on my 92% ASIC quality card , might give you trouble on your 62% ASIC quality card from the same manufacturer with the same model , bios number .
