Flashing BIOS on MSI 2080 Super Ventus OC

So for you there is only one choice which is an alphacool AIO, but, its very very ugly, VERY.
I used one on my Vega 64, and it was broken on arrival, someone in the forum gave me there one as they hated it and it was very difficult to install, after 5 times of reassembling it, it worked very well but after a month the pump died and killed my gpu.
So there's that.

Most people that do it use this
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nzxt-kraken-g12-gpu-cooling-adapter-white-hs-01e-nx.html
You can then buy pretty much any CPU AIO cooler and slot it into it
 
Yea so very strange - this BIOS wont lift the voltage above 1000mv very often at all, where as on the stock BIOS it was pretty much aat aronud 1038mv under load at all times. As a result this BIOS is downclocking to around 1870mhz under most load. Very odd. Shame!!

That looks quite good to be fair!

Also on the note of BIOS - I flashed the EVGA. Everything went well, Chrome doesnt work now without disabling hardware acceleration which is odd.

That said, I cant actually get close to achieving the same clock speed I did on stock BIOS. Strange - I cant get above 1945mhz on this BIOS

What temperatures are you getting as the clock depends very heavily on them being low as possible
With the increased power, comes increased heat, comes lower clocks unless you increase the fans (or water cool)

Not going above 67c at the moment - I was getting around 2020mhz under load at 77c on stock BIOS.
 
You are probably better off with a more powerful boards bios as your card is an OC one with quite high clocks by default
Way higher than the rated evga blacks ones, so the power profile is less aggressive

Pretty heavily downclocked and voltage lowered for the temp - this was under load.

oh yea, any suggestions as to which?
 
I'll maybe try the 17% EVGA BIOS, but stick to only using 12% increase. Hopefully that BIOS is a little more aggresive when it comes to boost!

Yeah that first one had 3 fans so not worth trying, probably works but better to use the other 2 as they both have 2 fans like yours

They are all just the same chip, nvidia got in trouble for having two types so the new ones all have the same. Every super variant has one chip

Gotcha - curious then, is there more risk asscociated to flashing any one BIOS to the next? Assuming all the BIOS are 2080 super? And assuming you dont actually use the full extent of the avaialble additional power limit

The aggressive power tables for boards that have custom vrms might cause problems when it boosts, probably, possibly
 
just out of interest
are you manually overclocking it?
or using oc scanner?
was tempted to cross flash a higher power limit to my 2080ti
as its only 105%
but it still does 2100mhz so not sure if these higher power limits
have any great benefit?
 
So manually overclocking - on my stock BIOS I got an average of 2025mhz when under load with a manual overclock. One this BIOS I get an average of 1905mhz with the same overclock settings, regardless of where I set the power limit
 
So the EVGA XC Ultra BIOS has the same problem of being very conservative with its voltage/clock boost, even when temps are perfectly in the mid 60s. Odd - guess stock BIOS is going to be my best bet.

EDIT: So for anyone who stumbles across this, you may actually be better to flash the VENTUS OC BIOS on to your card, even though it has a locked 100% power limit slider, the boost tables seem to be much less limited. Atleast compared to the EVGA Black and EVGA XC BIOS I tried.

try the oc scanner in msi afterburner
it runs a 15 minute or so auto tuning algorithm
see if you get any better results then
set power limit and core voltage first and apply
then up top left of afterburner
it says OC with a magnifying glass click that
then click scan then wait
can click test afterwards to get a % of confidence its a good overclock i guess

i did try that aswell actually
but didnt do anything different unfortunately :(
not moaning its still plenty of performance but
would never say no to free performance :D
