Last week on ThisBytesForYou we released a video on how to install the Gigabyte GeForce RTX
4090 gaming OC graphics card and in that video we went to Gigabyte site to download all the latest
and greatest applications for the graphics card unfortunately since the card just came out they
didn't have anything ready but now they do so in this video I'm going to show you how to install
that application how to flash the firmware on the graphics card and then how to control the
graphics card with Gigabytes utility so let's get started so here we're going to go to Gigabyte.com
then we're going to products NVIDIA series GeForce RTX 4090 gaming OC 24.
support and then down here we'll find bios and utility I'm going to download the BIOS
it increases compatibility but increases compatibility it doesn't really say
with what so that's kind of vague does it increase compatibility with Cheerios, BMWs,
bicycles it doesn't really say so let's find out
and then go to utility and then we'll go download the Gigabyte control center
I'm on Windows 11. so but it is compatible with Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit so with that
let's go ahead show in folder and we can close the browser and we'll go first off into the utility
and definitely read this incredibly important ah good stuff and then I accept
then the update is going to install RGB Fusion and Gigabyte VGA tool now I have
RGB Fusion from the last time installed but as you can see here it updates it I have
22.09.16.01 and the new version is 22.09.26.01 and I didn't have
the Gigabyte VGA tool installed so it installs that so let's go ahead install
and I don't know if it's installed so then here we have the RGB Fusion
fan control and performance so some overclocking utilities definitely great to have and I feel like
now I have a little bit more freedom with the card and then coming over here file drop not sure what
this is just yet and then we have the update in case there's any updates I'll go ahead check it
not available and then over here in the little gear Gigabyte Control Center automatically
start with Windows minimize add RGB Fusion and then home over here which takes us back to this
screen where we can control RGB Fusion or the fan but we have that up here as well okay so
I'm going to close this out real quick now let's go to the 4090 go I'm going to right click copy
and then paste it into the downloads folder you never want to install more than one file from
a zip file this was fine because it only had one file if it has more than one you want to extract
it and then run it from the extracted folder so now in the extracted folder 4090 go tool
and so switch the BIOS switch to OC side before booting run this one first restart to complete
the BIOS update and then switch to the silent mode so I'm going to do that in that order so
let me go ahead shut down boot in overclocked mode turn it back on and we'll start it again one sec
Alright so we're back in Windows with everything set to OC so I'm
going to go ahead close this out then we'll go into file manager
downloads and 4090 go tool and one more time so we want to go into GOA
Then we'll right click on it and run as administrator more info and run anyway
BIOS mode does not match
Funny so now we'll go to GOL run as administrator more info run anyway
that's odd but whatever so are you sure you want to update your graphics BIOS yes
Okay flash buy success would you reboot the system yes I would reboot the system so one
quick sec while I reboot okay that was a little scary especially flashing the firmware on a video
card so we're back in Windows and the command center opened up over here minimized so now
I'm going to go ahead turn it off again and now we're going to flash the OC Nano C so one sec
Okay so switching back over now I'm in the non-OC the silent mode but not really because the BIOS
got confused I guess okay so we'll come back over here and into downloads and 4090 go and we did l
so let's do a now the reverse of the reverse are you sure you want to update Graphics BIOS yes
Flash buyer success would you reboot the system yes, yes I would
Okay so thankfully booting back up and we are back in Windows so now we can open up the
Gigabyte control center and we can see RGB Fusion correctly so I'm going to go ahead move the camera
and show you correctly how RGB Fusion works okay so we can see right over here the Gigabyte is lit
and the fan blades will be lit they're off right now so we're going to go ahead and choose static
and click apply and also the fans are off right now because the fans stay off when
the cards are below I believe 65 degrees I'm not sure on that temperature just yet
so that's why they're not spinning and let's see if I can go over to fan control okay so
I'm going to set them to customized and click apply let's go ahead and
Okay so now applying that we can see the fan spinning at that orange kind of light
and we can raise and lower the brightness that's live
and then of course if we wanted to we can change speeds and it looks like we can change
lighting per fan which that's pretty cool then also the Gigabyte logo we can change that as well
so let's just reset all that click apply now coming to flash
You can see how those lights flash every few seconds we can change the speed here
and we can change the brightness as we saw before
Okay and as before we can always change the color
Okay coming over to cycle
Here it Cycles through all of the colors
Actually let me turn off the light real quick
Okay so we can see those a little bit better now and then coming over to gradient
so it's going to switch between white and red
Okay Dazzle
Dazzling through all of the colors and
off mind you have the RGB on the entire system on but I'm turning the card off pulse
D-Flash
Color shift
and you don't have to hit apply out of habit I'm doing that
Wave
and intelligent whereas you can see right over here the color changes based on the temperature
Okay so we're done with RGB Fusion so let's go over to fan control
under fan control if you remember we're on auto mode which we also have Auto fan stop we can just
disable that if we'd like and that'll go ahead and raise it to a higher temperature I actually prefer
that I don't want my fans to stop and you can see now that the fans are back on the lights are back
on its running at well it ran at 1900 something RPMs okay and you can hear it's very quiet
They are spinning but very low so if I come over here to customized let's go raise it up here
Not much louder
and
So we can see the live RPMs right over here
and they went up it only got a little tiny bit louder and now let's bump it up 100 percent
Oh this one almost went up to well they passed 2500 RPMs
okay so now let's go ahead and reset this put it to defaults
Okay now raising the lights a little bit I want to put this
right over here so you can see the DB of the system now with the fans off
Okay around 42 DB now mind you the side panel is off so it's going to
be a little bit louder or right next to it so now I'm going to move over to customized
and then I'm going to raise it till this line over here
and I'll wait till these fans ramp up
So we got about two let's say 46 DB so I'm going to raise this to the Half Point
So that one hit about 42 degrees 48 degrees sorry and let's raise it to about 75 percent
So that one got a little bit louder but not
much it's kind of drowned out by the overall system noise
Now let's just do a hundred percent foreign
We hit about 53 DB still an incredibly quiet card for what it is
so I'm going to go ahead and put that back to defaults and apply
then over here under performance we can boost the clock we can do an OC Scanner
To overclock it
We can raise this GPU voltage the power limit the temperature limit and the memory speed I'm going
to go ahead and stay away from that performance since it will differ from system to system but
if that's something you actually want me to show you go ahead and let me know down in
the comments below so in this video I've shown you how to install the Gigabyte control center
then also how to flash the firmware on both OC and silent mode on the graphics card then I've
shown you how to utilize RGB Fusion to change all the lighting on your graphics card and then
how to use the fan control so that you can ramp up your fans as high as you want to go or keep them
as low as you want to go I'd recommend to get rid of that auto that it turns it off and put
it somewhere in the midpoint maybe 50 something like that and then let that slide up as high as
possible as I showed you a little bit earlier so let me know what you think about this video did
you enjoy it did you find it helpful and then also earlier in the video I linked up the installation
of this card but if you haven't seen it just yet go ahead and check out this link up above
and that way it'll take you directly to it if you have any questions comments or concerns as always
leave them down below I reply to all of them take you with ThisBytesForYou out see, you guys
