Thanks! Just ordered mine. Going to vert mount mine in custom open air 2020 aluminum frame I am building. So it will look nice for cable management.

I've had mine since Tuesday. Unfortunately it's not a great overclocker, only reaching 2160MHz sustained in Port Royal (score of 15573) which is worse than my FTW3 Ultra.

Also, does the PL increase on the OC and LN2 BIOS? I've gone through all three and can't increase PL past 108.

See my results earlier. I was able to push pass 2160Mhz easily with a 72F-74F ambient air room. what are your temps at 2160Mhz?  

Your post prompted me to post as you've seemed to have gotten a very good sample. My ambient is lower than yours, at 68F. I've got my card on the LN2 BIOS, PL and Voltage sliders maxed, +90 on the core (any higher and it'll crash) and +1000 on memory with the fans at 100%. Peak GPU Temperature was 65.7C, peak Hot Spot was 80.6C, and peak Memory Temperature was 76C. Core clock held at 2160MHz (did not go any higher), peak board power draw was at 498.9W. GPU-Z says the PerfCap Reason is VRel. VOp. Not sure what else I can do, just part of the silicon lottery I suppose. Just unfortunate as my 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra is faster.

Questions about the powerlink 52u:

Is there a disadvantage as you can only connect 5 8pins instead of 6? What difference would you expect to see if any? My apologies for the noob question.

Honestly it shouldn't matter. Even with 5 you should be good until 825w.

So it sounds like unless you’re doing some extreme oc then it’s just for aesthetics

It is purely aesthetic. No benefit for xoc at all that I can see

Yeah. Not sure if this is any better than the one for the FTW3 but frame chasers tested that one out and didn't get any benefit out of it.

well well well
 
Looks like a fresh OS has me with egg on my face after all. Stock no OC after fresh w10:

Nice!
I'm getting 14.8 with windows 11 at stock settings. Once my 2nd nvme drive gets here I'm going to try to dual boot with windows 10 for benchmarking

I haven’t even touched w11, everything I’ve seen indicates worse effi for 3D benches

At about where my previous best run was i’m at 15646 now. Will play with voltages a bit before we setup SLI

Drawing a max of 596w now sheesh
