I'm using the new Precision X OC 6.0.4 and i'm getting the voltage limit 1 during load with default settings with my new 1080 Classified. It runs 1974Mhz boosted using 1.050v which seems quite high compared to my other Classified which does 2025Mhz at only 1.031v at defaults.
 
Anyways its always showing voltage limit 1. Why??? If I overclock even just a hair it shows Power,voltage and heat limit all at 1. This is now my 3rd 1080 classified as there in stock at my local MC. The 2nd one also did the same. That one ran default at 2000Mhz at 1.063v and voltage 1. Any overclock it did the same with 1s all around. I thought forsure it was defective so I exchanged it only to find the 3rd one is doing the same thing!
 
My 1st 1080 Classified I tested runs perfectly and never ever shows a 1 for limits! Can overclock very high at super low voltage. Even overclock the memory super high unlike any of the other 10 1080s i've tried. Never ever drops its clock cause theres no limit hit.
 
I just don't get it.. the tempts are low in the upper 40's low 50s yet the temp limit is at 1 and the card downclocks because of it.. even with just the voltage limit hit it will downclock soon at defaults.
 
My first classified is a low serial number 08xx and the 2nd one was 22 above that and now the 3rd one is way newer.. has something changed?
 
I'm really at the breaking point with trying to settle with 2 1080 cards so I can start my new build.. cant get to that point till I know what i'm using so I can order the blocks for them or just go air cooling.. just real fustraighting. I think I found the perfect card yet the next 2 is not even in the same league.
 
Is something wrong with with this classified card?? Bios programed wrong with the clocks and voltage or its just not a good performer?

    It pretty much means the card will be junk when it comes to overclocking. The card appears to be working fine though as you're getting 114MHz over advertised boost clock.
