Hi All,
I recently purchased 2 x gtx 980 classifieds( 04G-P4-3988-KR), and to be honest, I have been really disappointed in them. I hope this disappoint is due to my inexperience in overclocking, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
History:
I have used precisionX 16 5.3.1/5.3.0/5.2.9/4.3.0 and all of them have given me trouble.
1) I tried to use overboost and set the desired voltage(for example 1.25v) but for some reason it bumps the voltage up to 1.4v+
2) I tried to overvoltage +37mv but the card still measures the same voltage. Also if I use one card it volts to 1.212v but if I have them in sli one gives me 1.2v and the other 1.188v
3) I tried to use gtx classified controller to set the voltage at 1.2v and the card starts to throttle down and destroys performance.(Some how Hardware Asylum did this successfully)
Questions:
1) Is this normal? As I have seen other posts with similar problems and they got RMA's on their cards but I find it hard to believe two cards have the same problem.
2) How do I unlock it's potential if it isn't broken?
3) If I get some EK waterblocks, is their a good bios that I can use for 24/7 use?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Shaun Peplinski
