I've never seen any correlation between voltage or LLC, with what the bclk drops to in the reporting software.

Miners. They're buying up every AMD GPU they can get their hands on, and it's had an effect on the rest of the GPU market as well.

Never watched any of them.

Nope. I build my rig to run it every day. I think you meant LN2, though.

Lower the coolant down around 0c, and I'll bet you see higher clocks even on stock voltage.

Just gotta be careful anytime you go sub-ambient, because there's always a chance for condensation.

1080ti Classy. Assuming someone makes a waterblock for it.

For higher clocks on Pascal, you have to keep the GPU cooler. Every 10-12c or so, there's a "layer" there when boost 3.0 will try to lower frequency / voltage to keep the card cool. Knowing where those are for your GPU pretty critical so you can try to avoid them with custom fan curves, or...

The cooler the core runs, the higher it'll be able to boost. With boost 3.0, the card will either drop frequency or drop voltage to help keep the core temps down....this happens about every 10c or so. I've seen it at work with core temps as low as 15c (coolant temps at -6c).... The best way...

....and..... I'm just commenting on the absurdity of posting a complaint, about someone complaining. Why bother.....

Maybe you should just stop posting on threads about benchmark scores, instead of posting 800 different times crying about those that do. Just a thought... /smack

Use the voltage / frequency curve. You'll get a lot better results than with just using the offset method. Trick is just to keep the temps as low as possible.

I hate how expensive GPU blocks are, but.....sometimes you get really lucky. EVGA tends to use the same pcb layout quite often, especially for the Classy. The 780 / 980ti and now the 1080 Classy have all used the same block.

It does work that way, but they usually react better, and score better, when the super aggressive curves aren't used. Just my personal experience.

I usually set an offset just a little lower than the clock I'm trying to achieve, then move the point for the voltage up to the frequency of your target clock. Keep GPUz open and watch the PerfCap Reason Line. At some point, you'll hit the power limit (that's green, indicated by PWR)...at that...

Actually, they're both GP107 cores. The difference is that the 1050ti has more shader processing units unlocked. This will create more heat, which would likely account for the lower stock clocks. That said, boost 3.0, with decent cooling will likely bring that clock up quite a bit.

Try the voltage / frequency curve in MSI's AB. It's worlds easier to use than EVGA's PCX. By using the curve you'll see more sustainable, higher core clocks at low enough voltages that the power limit will only present minor issues. With the right curve, you can hit some pretty awesome...

I've owned most of the X99 boards @ less than $300 US. They're ALL very capable boards. My favorite, was probably the Taichi...I really liked the fact that hit had 2 x M.2 slots. It was only an average overclocking board, but...as you stated, overclocking isn't a priority.

No need to remove anything on the X99-A II to mount a block.

Sustainable loop temps due to a larger volume of coolant, slightly lower temps due to the ability to customize flow rates for your application, overall customizability of your loop configuration to meet your needs, even from one build to the next....from a pure performance standpoint, in terms...

ASUS X99A and A II, ASUS X99 Deluxe and Deluxe II, ASRock Taichi...a few others I'm sure. I've personally used the MSI X99A SLI Plus but wasn't a fan of the bios. Same with the ASRock Taichi and the EVGA FTWK boards that I tried. LOVE the ASUS bios. Great overclocking options. I'm currently...

If it wasn't completely wore out before, it likely is after running it dry in the bottom picture......time for a new one.

You're thinking in terms of max temps. Even with Maxwell, there were temp layers that would just not allow for higher clocks. The 980ti for instance, if you wanted to see anywhere close to 1600, you'd need to keep it under 35c, or you just weren't going to get there. With Pascal, on the...

I knew I had a screenshot of it somewhere. This is a 1080 FTW on air, ambient temps at about 18c and 100% fan speed. I used Firestrike Ultra graphics test 1 and 2. The ridiculous curve I used is also pictured. That's 2227 on air. The score wasn't as good as 2153 on air, but it ran it. The...

A little more voltage, and you might see a little bit more clock, but you're also going to see more drops in core clock because the additional voltage will just add heat. This really isn't hard to understand. You have to manage heat, voltage, and frequency if you want to get a decent...

Working with boost 3.0, temps are ALWAYS an issue. Every 10c or so, it will try to either downclock or raise voltage to keep the GPU stable. Those thermal layers start at 15c (of the ones I've found), and WILL cause problems if you're not paying attention to them. This isn't the grand ole...

lol, it works just fine. Just have to be patient, and use the voltage / frequency curve for overclocking.

Temps were probably creeping up. That'll cause it to crash.

Because when you use the slider, boost 3.0 will automatically try to run the clock at the lowest voltage on the curve. If you look at the curve, after you set that offset on the slider, I would imagine the lowest voltage would end up being 1043 or 1050mv. Which is likely too low, especially...

Could be hitting the power limit throttle too.....need to get GPUz open to the sensors tab, and start watching the PerfCap Reason line. With those temps, the most likely culprit is the thermal throttling, but.....Maxwell's have long suffered from artificially low power limit settings in the...

Alphacool GPX blocks aren't true full coverage blocks. They're a universal mount GPU cooler with a "full coverage adapter". They don't actively cool anything but the core. They count on the heat sink / full coverage adapter to cool everything else. They're decent blocks, but just be aware...

If you were to look under the IHS on an Intel chip, there would be a rectangle. That rectangle is where the heat is going to be concentrated, so....while you won't notice a HUGE difference by going with an "off" orientation, keeping the cooling channels of the block directly over the die itself...

Nah, Bishop blood.... = P

Fishing line works as well, and you can't see it. = )

Been posting in this forum for a while, and realized I hadn't posted pics of my rig. I've had several different GPU configurations in the last year, so....you'll probably notice that in the pics. = )

A single 980 isn't really going to be enough for 4k gaming either....not and hold decent frame rates on high settings, but....whatever floats your boat.

If you're going to really push the overclocks, then the active backplate is worth it to help keep the VRM cool. If you're not really going to be pushing the card to it's limits, then the passive backplate is just fine. I love the Kryographics blocks. I have one on my XFX 8GB 290X. They...

It's all for show..... For show builds, it's great. It'll really add to the looks of the build. For Joe Blow putting it on his rig to play CS:GO? It's ridiculous....

The only difference between the 6 pin connectors and the 8 pin connectors any more, are the 2 ground wires. It's been a good long while since I saw a PSU old enough that it didn't have the 3 live wires and 3 grounds on the 6 pin pinout, but....I guess it's possible they're still out there...

EVGA and XFX both have outstanding customer service. I use their products almost exclusively.
