hey everyone!!, does any 1 has bios that increase max voltage to 1.250? cum im stuck at 1.075 in my card... its already watercooled. i can reach on 1.075 max core 2115mhz. i need more power^^:D

    Bios voltages are locked by nvidia. People have been searching for unlicked versions since the card was released. Unfortunately, all bios must be certified by nvidia, or they wont work.

    Lower the temps, use the frequency/voltage curve tool and set the voltage to run at 1.093v and you'll be able to get more clock out of it.  Pascal is VERY much not about MORE volts, it's about lowering temps.  Core temp is EVERYTHING with this new architecture.  The cooler you keep it, the higher it'll clock.  

    As an alternative, you can flash to the ASUS Strix T4 bios, but I don't really recommend it.  That's the only way there is right now to bring voltage above 1.093v.  But again.....it's all about keeping core temps lower.  Every 1c helps.

    Max clock at 22c peak core temp:


    Max clock at 15c peak core temp:


    I don't have a picture handy, but max core clock with the peak core temp of 35c is 2214, but 2202 runs better at those temps.  All of these are with the exact same 1.093v.  

    TLDR:  Open a window and let it breath cold air.

    All u have 2 do is get msi ab and then use the feq curve editor (Ctrl+F) and u can lock the voltage to 1.093 ( L ) at whatever u think that badboy will run at.......oh that other guy already posted that well then.......
     
    if you do it post a msg and say what u can get it up 2 and at what temp; id like 2 know if 2200Mhz - 2222Mhz is about average at 50c ish

    playing with voltage curve wont give you any actual gain in gaming or benchmarking, although the reported core clock is higher. mine can do 22xx mhz passing fsu too. but the score is just almost unchanged compared to mine running at 21xxmhz. the gpuz record shows no any throttlings there.
     
    the only way to gain real performance is to use the traditional offset to overclock pascal cards.

    indeed the voltage is locked by nvidia, but the power is not. 
    but evga wont give you a high power bios to avoid any power throttling anyways.

    Uh, this is wrong.  If you use the voltage / frequency tool, get the curve right, and keep the temps low enough, you will see an increase in frame rates and benchmark scores.  As I stated in my post above.....it's all about the temps.
