What I'm wondering is if I could possibly shunt mod for the PCI-e power, so that it will still pull over 75watt (out of specification) without triggering the limit. I have an asus maxiumus xii apex, so I would be very surprised if I couldn't unlock power limit to the pci-e lane.
It functions perfectly, so it's not a "problem". However, I bought the card and custom water cooled it with full intentions of running above stock voltage, which I cannot do at this point because of the power limit. I agree shunt modding is extreme.
Yes! It works great. I am running ~1800mhz...
I'll keep this post short as I can manage. I have a used 3090 recently acquired, and it's under customer water, so it has plenty of cooling and available voltage. Even at STOCK clock speeds, my GPU is throttling power limit right at 400w total power draw. Not all FTW models seems to have this...
