My Bios flash ok? (TX)

[Born_2_Kill_83]

So I took the plunge and flashed the bios on the Titan X tonight, the aim was to run 1400mhz constant in-game.

I was limited by the 110% power limit which saw my 1400 overclock drop to 1340mhz at times.

So after a successful flash here is what I've got.
Afterburner set to 120% power limit and 91c.

After 15mins of Witcher 3 starting at a boost clock of 1430 it drops to 1403 and stays there, GPU temp maxing at 84c, fan speed 80%, GPU-Z shows a GPU core clock of 1252mhz.

The fan seems pretty loud but I guess it's drawing more power from the PSU? Am I safe to run this as my 24/7 O/C?

Happy with the performance though now.

Cheers, just want to make sure I'm not hurting any other components on the card, using memory @ 3800mhz, I find after 4000 it starts throttling down in bechmarking.

Sorry if this is a stupid question as I've never flashed before.
But can you not just using something like EVGAPX to achieve the same results?

No problem.

Basically a card has the power target locked in the bios. So afterburner or PX gives you only what the bios allows. That might be +109 +110 or +120 etc.

This sometimes is lower than what the card can really handle. So flashing the bios opens up the power taps for more boost and manual oc potential.

Nice one thanks
