I was asking if i should solder the pins because from what i've read for a lot of peole system doesn't recognize GPU at all, but mine does, as i can show u here:

I'm a bit worried about this precedure tbh.

So you say:
1) Sold pin on BIOS chip;
2) Turn windows on (i've read Dos is better, should i use it?);
3) Flash the original bios;
4) Turn off system.
5) unsold.

Am i right?

1) Solder wire between pin 1-8 on BIOS chip(suggest that you check your BIOS chip datasheet in case its a different chip, you need to turn CS high(to positive/VCC) in order to disable BIOS);
2) Turn windows on;
3) When windows finished booting, clip of the wire(now the BIOS will be enabled, but GPU will not read content from it)
3) Flash the original bios;
4) Turn off system.
5) unsold.

this kind of information while good to know, should never be handed to a noob in which you know not there skill level. all your doing is giving him/her the tools to screw his/her gpu up more than it already is, and not to mention your instructions are very vague that said, id bet he/she would screw it up trying this. your assuming he already knows certain things which by the sounds of it he/she does NOT, he/she isn't going to know what pins 1 or 8 are on the bios chip, then theres the soldering part which being that its a small chip its easy to accidently bridge two pins together being a noob. theres lots of needed information that you DIDNT include, like how to determine which pins are 1 and 8. what an ass move to give someone poorly done instructions that will do nothing more but increase there chance of messing up the gpu more

I'd obviously read more about this procedure, i wouldn't trust only on this few posts. I know how to recognize pins, by getting the documentation of chip and then understand which side it's the head and which is the tail (little circle on chip). And i wouldn't for sure risk to solder myself since i don't have experience at all.
