Ok what am I doing wrong? I can't seem to break 15k in PR. I'm sure if I did the force ReBar technique I could get it but I just want to do it the same way I did my previous best. I always seem to crash at these settings right at the end of the benchmark. Are the temps just too high? Or should I increase voltage? I noticed at higher voltage I reach higher clocks but get a lower score. I'm doing it in my house with 70-72F ambient temps.
Previous best on "winter" air: 14483

Current best watercooled: 14950

I get the best stock bios score from limiting the curve around 1018 mv. PR doesn't go higher than that much if any of the run, but it seems to allow me to go one more bin sometimes (15mhz) probably due to the card very briefly jumping higher under lower load.
But kraade is probably right, you're about at the limit of the stock bios at that temp without doing some of the tweaks like forcing reBar.
What settings did you use to get the 14950 score?
I posted the curves I've used here for reference,
