Is there any problem's with leaving k boost on permanently? (i dont have a energy problem and heat is not a issue also my cards are currently not overclocked so i would guess that they would not degrade any faster then with normal use or very close to that)
 
 

I discovered that by using K-boost, every reading from my cards were reduced to 0 and usage percentages were never above 15%.
Perhaps it's just me, but I would never enable it.
 
Leaving K-boost enabled is for what I know, not harmfull. It's like having your CPU clocked at 5GHz at all times without C1 and such enabled. 

I have tested the cards in and out of k boost and the usage (from the games i have tested and heaven) has been correct and all but one the other stats are the same and updating correctly, usage sadly just like you is not moving from 0 but it is actually working it is just not registering!

I just want a definitive answer about if these cards can do 24/7 (computer wont be on 24/7 dont worry  ) at those clocks without incurring any major problems to the actual cards themselves!

There are no problems running K-Boost 24/7. (It will not hurt your card.) The only thing you will notice is higher idle temps which can be kept down by running a higher fan speed or by installing nvidia inspector and creating some custom .bat files to force idle & max boost states whenever you need them or don't need them. (I highly recommend installing nvidia inspector and creating the custom .bat files so you can save power on your electricity bill, running K-Boost 24/7 will increase your power consumption a lot when you might not be doing anything but browsing the web, this is where the .bat files come into play, you can choose what you need depending on what you are doing.) e.g. Select and run Force Idle.bat to force idle state so you can save power when not gaming and just browsing the web. Select Max Boost.bat for when you are about to game. 
 
Checkout my thread it will tell you how to setup the .bat files. http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=1770296

Love that they added this feature!!! I hated not seeing my cards using their full potential of clock speed in some of my games(WoW).
The K-Boost basically locks your core clocks and voltage at w/e you + them out too. I didn't like the boost feature anyway. Both my 670FTW's  run at 1255mhz all the time 24-7 and I LOVE IT!!! Such a performance difference in so many games!!

GPU Utilization will register as 0% when enabled, but this is a false reading.

can/will this be fixed?

im total opposite, i love how my 680s dont break a sweat running some of my games, some games they only run at 50%-60% usage at 600 mhz, its like they're jogging because they dont need to run, to be first.

I rather have my cards running at their full potential clocks/voltage 24-7. If I wanted to run at 1077 clocks in select games, I would of just bought 2 x 660ti :)

Need to look into it some more...
