LOD is kinda cheating, because it alters how benchmark engine works (e.g. GPU is doing work differently compared to how benchmark designed it).
 

When the display shows "Auxiliary Voltage too low. What part of the PCB is this referring too?

Front side of the card, between left VRM and display outputs.

@johnksss
 
When specifically is the card showing this behavior? Over 1.3v NVVDD? Why not just lather that side of the VRM next to display connectors as well? Asking because I have been lathering both sides of VRM followed by heat gun.

oic. Maybe down @ or near PCIE connector

Bare metal creates drops

Could be that. I didn't put any on top. That i do remember.

Both sides of card plus 12V plugs are all covered.
 
Side note: Room temp here is 90F+, so there is always that...

My Metal Fitting start to sweet before any other part of the Water Block then the Plug on the top part of Block (The Fill Port Plugs)
Also why I am going to keep the card in this position and not going to use the Ribbon Cables now. 

I do have a shield that I place above the PSU in case od a drip it is just not in the above photo.
That fan on the Right side also helps with keeping the block a little dryer.

Yea Humidity can do that, I chill only under 20% Humidity Inside now.

add an in-room AC. Not only will you mitigate your high ambient but will also pull some of the humidity out of the room. If that is not feasible how bout just a dehumidifier.
 
Ill chill anywhere under 40% humidity. If you condensate pcbs, exposed metal and limit airflow around chilled blocks its really not that scary. my ambient is always 20-22c though. IDK about 90c... I like caves. Probably would have destroyed all components and never got into XOC if I tried this while I was @ school in Cali... 
 

So how do I get my EVGA logo to stay solid on the KP HC? the flashing kills me lol

TiN_EE
 
P.S. I did not use bracket around GPU that comes with HC, I don't quite understand the purpose of it.
 

Interesting....Is it there to safeguard the GPU die from getting crushed or we just don't need it?
 

TiN_EE
I'd assume using reasonable force, in application to gentle electronics?

 
Thought maybe you could reflect some light on why it's needed and what are the consequences if removed as many of us have asked that question before unless of course it's another group of engineers that put it there for whatever reason.  It just helps to know.

You will get there. As TwoEvilOne demonstrated in this table... Focus on collecting data on the VGA side. KPE should be able to pull that 5.2ghz cpu over the 16000 point hill w/3200mhz ddr4.
 
I know its getting hot but if you can diy engineer a way to keep the KPE at 40c or under 45c and figure out the point of diminishing returns on power/pl and get a little more out of the Vmem you will get there. Each card is a little different.

I’m assuming most/all of you use the Classified Tool? Should I be focusing on adjusting certain “important” sliders or all? And I’m guessing most are running a load line of 0?

No, if you are using CT then Leave the Slider for the Voltage at default in PX1
And most are running LL @ 0

Just wondering if I can do like Ive been doing with my laptop and have the AC unit in the house blow straight into the case, That netted me at #28 fastest 8750h/1050ti score lol If there was some overclockabilty in my cpu I think I could've took top spot. Hit almost 2000mhz on a 1050ti notebook die lol. Im off work right now awaiting surgery so another radiator to put in ice or a chiller is a few months out. 

Yes Ahowes is doing something similar redirecting AC unit directly into PC case.
 
 I've been pretty happy with the 8750H btw but haven't really benched it just a daily laptop.

pretty sure my ddr4 memory is my limiting factor here, Im going to try to push it up to 3600 and go 5.3 on the cpu. Ive gotta break that 16000 mark lol If my ram is whats holding me back ill order a few sticks of higher clocked 8gb stuff and run again. 

2175MHZ max clock only hit 49c full load, 8400mhz on the gpu mem. Cooling is just a hydro copper with two 360mm rads. it also ties in with the cpu.

Edit:1 74points from the 16000 club!!!!

i would say your limiting factor is the temp on the GPU get that thing cold and it will produce the numbers.

Oh yeah, I'm pretty heavy in the laptop benching game. And my cooler is the 1100W portable AC unit. Been doing this for a very very long time. Bach when people thought were crazy. 
 
So the answer would yes, it will help your scores.
 
And hope the surgery goes well!

What! No laptop benching and you have a perfectly good one to bench. Shame on you!

Tin,
 
After reading your comment about the bracket I tore my kingpin down, replaced all of the thermal pads with new high performance Fujipoly Ultra Extreme (Thermal Conductivity 17.0 W/mK) and matched thickness of the existing pads (I measured the existing pads with a precision digital height gauge), cleaned off and reapplied a new coat of liquid metal and put it all back together. I put it back into my loop, got the bubbles out and turned my system on and ran Furmark for 15 minutes. Those 15 minutes were glorious moments because for the first time I watched all the ICX2 sensors showing numbers that I was expecting when I first got the Hydrocopper to replace the AIO.
 
... here is the (not so?) funny part.
 
Couldn't wait to grab a screenshot and paste it for all to see when I noticed water dripping from the block. So ya, pulled the power instantly and now need to figure out where/why/how it is leaking. :-(
 
Anyways, someone should sticky your comment and put a big star beside it.
 
Thanks,
