Patched NVFlash (5.513.0) that allows RTX Founder Edition cards to be flashed with a custom bios
The recent Turing release of NVFlash didn't come with the option to override the board ID mismatch when trying to flash RTX 2080 and 2080Ti Founders Edition cards with BIOS files from other vendors that allowed a higher power limit. In the past NVFlash contained an additional parameter to bypass that block, but it has been absent in the latest release. The binary does contain the original code to do so however, but it can't be triggered. Here is a patched version of NFlash (version 5.513.0 post has been updated with version 5.527.0) that does allow you to bypass this error. You don't have to supply any additional parameters to bypass this check, but I did leave in the requirement to type "YES" as a confirmation that you know what you're doing.
As always the typical disclaimers apply: use with caution, at your own risk, please know what you're doing and be aware as to how it may potentially affect your warranty in the future.
As for more information regarding BIOS files and powerlimits, see another post of mine from a few weeks ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/9lx76a/stop_using_useless_numbers_like_powerlimit/
