The MSI cooler is amazing! So impressed with it.

tipes · 27 Sep 2014 at 16:49

Bit confused here - my post 322 showed a picture of my card, but page one says confirmation link soon? Do I need to post a different proof or something?

is putting maxwell underwater really going to yield higher clocks do people think?

Blitzkrieg · 27 Sep 2014 at 23:34

Those MSI Coolers look really awesome.

If an unlocked bios appears that lets you send a fair bit more voltage through them then yes.

Yar, i'm getting a block asap, the normal people are working on voltage unlocking and it shouldn't be long.

Quick question guys,

Do these 980's have the equivalent of AMD's powerplay to drop the clocks when the card isn't being stressed?

AB reports my core @1500 and mem @4001 even sat on the desktop...

Silent_Scone · 28 Sep 2014 at 09:17

Check these

There was one instance where a certain game would cause that issue for me, what were you playing prior?

uksoldierboy · 28 Sep 2014 at 09:34

It was after i gave Evga x16 a go frosty, seems my clocks are stuck on 3d clocks now.

Geeman1979 · 28 Sep 2014 at 09:39

Wipe the Nvidia drivers/reinstall & reinstall Afterburner and test again.

uksoldierboy · 28 Sep 2014 at 09:43

On it now, will report back.

uksoldierboy · 28 Sep 2014 at 09:56

Yeah that sorted it

Cheers guys.

Silent_Scone · 28 Sep 2014 at 10:00

Cool beans!

Got my Delivery today! Added another 980! could not stick with just one after all.

Looks like your cats have taken dibs on one of the 980s and the ROG Swift already

They're supposed to yes. According to GPU-Z mine is idling at 135 core and 162 mem. That's at stock clocks though.

Got bored of the reference cooler.. Added a few heatsinks and an Antec Kuhler 920. Temps are now amazing

Furmark Burn In test and 1080P pre-set Bench.

1080P Bench Link > http://www.ozone3d.net/gpudb/score.php?which=38502

Temps @ 46c Max in Furmark, well under 50c during gaming

Geeman1979 · 28 Sep 2014 at 17:09

Good modding.... what did you stick those heat sinks down with?
