Hello,
 
I tried overclocking my Hybrid yesterday and could not really push it further than ~1557Mhz core. Temperatures are fine with ~40 Celsius.
 
I extracted the BIOS with gpu-z and found out that the last boost bin 74 (maybe?) was set at 1557. Is the BIOS limiting my overclock? Could someone explain me how this works?
I can attach a picture if I get home.
 
Thanks for the help!

If that is the case just increase the max table clock slider inside the vbios to get more headroom then simply reflash the vbios.

Thanks, I'm not sure if I should because of the warranty. I have 2 years left.

You can always flash the original back when you need to rma.
