It's hitting the power limit without any overclocking on heaven benchmark with v sync off.  Not sure why it's doing this.  Games are running fine and haven't had any major issues.  Just updated the BIOS and waiting for the thermal pad to come in.  Should I be concerned???  Is there anything I can do to alleviate this?  

Can confirm this also. Bashes the limit constantly.

that's good though right? shows full utilisation of the card? if you force vsync on through the control panel, you'll probably see it fall?
 
i'd be interested to see, if you bump the power target to the max (112%?) whether you reach that too

As long as the card runs at advertised speeds you're ok. If you really want this fixed you'll need to rma your card.

But nothing is broken is it? Vsync is off so the gpu is left unconstrained to spit out as many frames as it possibly can?!

Mine has yet to hit the power limit. Except during initial overclocking experimentation. But I'm also only gaming at 1080p.

Yes, turn off Precision overlay and enjoy your card.

You get 2100+ core gaming too?
I cant get over 2000 here, and it frequently hits power limit and when that happens it goes down to 1960-1970
 
 

can't get past 2101, but yeah constant during gaming, except drops between loading screens.
