Well, my card seems stuck at 1721mhz unless I use kboost mode or do the YouTube trick.


I am using OCX to run mine between 2025 and 2088.
I am Not overclocking the GPU Memory or increasing the Voltage at all only the GPU Clock.
Changed my Post above. Also Advanced flag with Titan X (P)  has some good reading if you have a Pascal Graphics Card.

I use precision XOC to set the boost to +100, but without the YouTube thing it doesn't go above the base clock. I haven't really tried clocking much higher as it maintain 2025Mhz until the Temps start to rise. At 100% fan speed the card seems to hover at 1999Mhz with 1987Mhz the lowest I've seen it go. Hopefully the updated thermal pads and a change of thermal past will pull the Temps down far enough for a better overclock.

I see, yes I see some Project do reduce down to 1999, I also notice that when they do my Temps jump to 80-82C
 
And thanks for that other fix posted on the TZC Thread.

At 73 thru 75 degrees I can maintain a 1999Mhz clock speed, any higher and it starts dropping from there. My paste comes in Sunday via Amazon prime and the thermalpadmod just came today. So Sunday night I get the joy of rearranging my card slots and breaking down my 1080ftw and reassembling it. Then to reconfigure my folding client.

I'm sorry to report my system has reached temp equilibrium, thud my 1080 is only clocking 1987Mhz down from 2025Mhz. Sadly when the GPU temp reaches 78 degrees the clocks drop. That pesky 970 just won't let it breathe as it stays toasty below 70 when it's running solo. 14 units turned in so far on the 1080FTW with 0 failed. The 970 turned in 6. I did have to start the running at 7:30pm 10/31 EST, so some of them might not have accrued to the challenge.

Should be a good challenge.



sounds to me like you need to swap positions. put the 1080 on bottom for maximum airflow and let the 970 thermal down a bit instead.

Now it's reversed. The 970 can't breathe as well so it wants to drop 100Mhz or more off the clock speed. The fans can spin faster and bring it back up, but that does make the computer area a bit too loud. Does any one know if the updated BIOS for the FTW cards allows for a higher fan speed, currently it tops out at 2800rpm give or take and a few hundred more rims wouldn't hurt.

Ugh, first time I've ever entered a folding contest where I'm last on the team. 😭

There is no last. There is only contributions. We're all winners here

Yes, I do and he is right I guess but you know I use to be able to contribute way more then I do now.

You know what tank1023, sometimes you have to be at the bottom, to realize that there is only one way to go... UP..
