There is nothing to watch here. I'm telling you that the 980 won't do over 1.215v on current drivers. GTX 980Ti's and classifieds were able to do this, but not currently. Unless J7 can produce ancient drivers, 1.2v is a hard lock. If you do find those ancient drivers, please share! P.S. I had a pair of M4000's and they were not vBIOS modifiable. I tried. GL with the M2000. You knew I did modding on the K and M series quadro's, i'm surprised you didn't ask me first @damric

You can't add more than 1.215v on current drivers. You would need to find ancient drivers to accomplish it. I would love to get my hands on an EVBot.

GTX 980 is manufacturer voltage locked at 1.2v. I have managed to get 1.215 out of it, but that is the limit. Even with a KPE, I have only ever been able to squeeze 200w so far. I'll find my thread and link it. I have not finished completely, but I am almost at the end of what vBIOS modding will achieve. You will need a hard mod to push it further, which it is completely capable of. Here you go.

That shipping doe. Oof.

You're in the right place for that kind of help.

Thanks for the throwback on CoreTemp, haven't used that since LGA 775. I have no idea. Clocks are: 1000 stock 1040 gaming 1060 OC mode Correct? You hit 1100, is that an OC? Does the card exhibit the same behavior at stock speeds?

I knew it was only a matter of time before you got in here to flex on us peons.

Tend to agree with mega on that. Especially with the surge of joiners.

I actually own this saw. Was bought for acrylic. Make sure you don't get 16mm tubing as it will NOT cut clean through (Leaves about 2-3mm uncut.) Would need 10 or 13mm tubing for it to be able to cut through.

Also forgot I have a KF not a K. And you updated my multi, but not my single core speed on that second run.

Agree with Section31. In my experience, acrylic has a clarity that PETG does not offer. It has a higher thermal threshold of coolant before deformity. It does come in more variety and is overall more sturdy to build with over PETG. The downside is it has to be sawed, not cut. Making mistakes on length leads to more time intensive fixes over just cutting. Bending acrylic is harder as well as it requires a higher temperature than PETG before becoming pliable. Deformities in acrylic are harder to fix, as are re-heating previous bends. The result usually ends the same, but you may spend an extra 5-15 minutes per tube bend/run with acrylic. Also, last time I bought tubing over a year ago, acrylic was more expensive.

That is really disenhertning to hear. How old are they?

I have never had that happen to me and I own a substantial amount of Koolance QDC's. I usually just wrap a few pieces of paper towels around them when I pull. Thanks for the warning. @J7SC_Orionhave you ever had QDC's fail?

What is that open air chassis in "Wraith's" rig picture? I love it. Like a supersized OBT. I may have to get one. Also, brilliant use of drain valves as QDC's. I never thought of that.

Because QDC's are more better.

Strong systems. Welcome to the forums! We can always use more people to play with.

Glad to see you posting here. The Canadians are starting to form a gang.

Same, I have an HDMI KVM that I love. I have been looking for a DP one, but they are expensive and the selection is very limited. If anyone knows of a good dual monitor DP KVM switch, hook a brotha up.

Uh-huh. Separate runs for single and multi? That single thread high is suspiciously lacking the rest of the page. Time to enable one core and crush this.

They are. Same architecture (Maxwell). Problem is that these cards are factory voltage locked. I am not entirely sure I will be able to raise the voltage. I haven't posted it yet, but last night after some modding to 1.281mv it only bumped it from 1.2v flat stock to 1.215v. I don't think I will have much headroom with the voltage, but I am hoping I can get more than the 180w max usage I have seen. The theoretical is 450w and i'd love to pull that. I had to run ID mismatch NVflash to get the first test vBIOS loaded. We shall see. Hit #6 HWbot Cloudgate last night with minor mods.

I have a crap ton of Corsair ML120's (White). Would be more than happy to part with them if you are interested.

I tend to comment a lot, thus my list is 6 pages long. 3/4 of the content listed is not my own. MP4 is perfect, thank you. That is what I was looking for.

Can't compete with a 32 core. This is 5.4GHz perf all core with 4.3GHz E all core. SP 85 chip, not a golden sample, but not crap either.

Creates more heat, limits overall Perf core OC headroom. Ill activate them and try for the multi.

I scored one of 3 EVGA GTX 980 KPE's off of OCN and would like to document my adventure vBIOS modifying the card to greatness for HWBot purposes. Now this is a highly used card on HWBot and most of the top 3 are on LN2/DICE which I can't compete with. I will attempt to test the limits of voltage and wattage within the constraints of a watercooling environment. The likelihood of me destroying this card is very high. That is a risk I am willing to take. This is the card in question: Software needed: NVIDIA Drivers - 497.29 Maxwell BIOS Tweaker - v1.36 DDU - v18.0.4.7 GPUz - v2.43.0 CPUz - v1.99 Precision X1 - v1.3.0.0 Test System: CPU - 12900KF @AI OC tuner settings 1.45v max. MOBO - ASUS z690-A RAM - 32GB G.Skill DDR5 5600 @XMP 36-36-36-76 2T PSU - Super Flower 1000w Leadex GPU WB - EK CPU WB - Optimus Sig v2.0 RADs - Acool 2x 480 This card is based on the Maxwell 2.0 architecture. It has 2x8 pin + 1x6 pin PCI-e power connectors. This gives the card a theoretical maximum of 450w. The skinny on the rest of the specifications can be found HERE Preliminary benches and clocks: Bone stock 100% Power target in X1 we scored 58715 in Cloudgate. That is good enough for #11 in the world on HWBot stock. Maxed clock at 1442.8MHz, VRAM 1752.8MHz. The card only drew 156.2w max @ 1.200v only hitting 52.1% of TDP. These last three stats are what we are going to be focusing on.
