So I have the FTW but has anyone else noticed that they have to lower their overclock speed after the new driver update? I used to have it at 100 core and 500 mem, but now I have to set it to 85 core 475 mem. Anything higher and it will lock up benchmarks.

    Drivers could be getting more optimized and pushing the card harder. So previous OC is not stable.

    I have 1070 FTW and quite a high BCLK overclock at 171.5 with a cpu stap of 167 and I noticed that I can barely OC my card and get stability. I assume this is because the BCLK overclocks the PCIE slots as well as all the other components on the mobo. My card with K boost on scores about a 13,500 on passmark. I was able to get it to 14,400 after some major memory OCing but as far as games go Fallout 4 pushed the card way harder than the benchmarks do so I just run it at about 2000mhz core and 4007mhz memory and it is plenty of speed for my heavily modded fallout.

    BCLK overclock at 171.5 = surprised it even booted into Windows

    You are running a very strange OC mix on that MB

    Most definitely. I was previously able to run +120 on core and +400 on mem and it was rock solid. No way can I do that with these drivers, can not even get +80 on core and nothing on mem to be stable.
    Just running it at stock boost for now.

    There's an easy way to test if the drivers have become more optimized. How are you guys' benchmarks and game fps measurements since the update?

    Yeah I have a SABERTOOTH X99 and the BCLK is pretty much maxed, if I increase it by only .1 it fails to boot. The CPU strap has presets of 100, 125, 167, and 220. So I set it as close to my BCLK as possible.  I am running an i7-6800k at 4.45Ghz @ 1.45V, 32Gb @ 3200Mhz ram and my temps are suprisingly low. My Vcore temps avg's at 38C my CPU idles at 32C and never goes past 70C under full load. All the other temps stay under 40C and everything I've tested it with has passed with no errors. Needless to say I am very happy with this overclock I just wish I could push the CPU to 4.7  but from what I seen you need a silicon lottery to get that with the way the 6800k's are designed.
