GTX1080 shunt mod for day to day?

[MaXxBoulton]

My GPU runs at 2120Mhz and games at 41c under a kraken x41 with a G12 mount.

No matter what i change is will not pass 2120Mhz i'm assuming this is the power limit/voltage limit, with my GPu running so cold is it worth doing a shunt mod

For gaming ? no. Benching ? that's a different story.

yer just day to day gaming

It would be completely pointless. 2120mhz is a great clock for a 1080 and way above the average. Shunt modding will gain you net zero for gaming and will unlikely allow you to increase the core any further.

Highly unlikely to see any real world FPS gains for day to day gaming at that point - most Pascal cards won't sustain a boost above 20xxMHz without an increased power limit, etc. and a few dozen MHz more at best will be a fraction of a percent in framerate.

Depending on your setup some cards drop a boost bin anyway when you go above ~31C - though not all cards seem to have the same setup - my 1070 didn't start dropping until around 60C IIRC or somewhere around there.

ok guys, thanks for the info i will no bother

Yeah as above don't bother. Mine does 2150mhz at 40-42c under water and anything past that is t going to net any worthwhile gains in games.

TBH if you are getting 21xxMHz sustained without silly extreme cooling/mods that is good going - most Pascal cards will drop back to 20xxMHz at some point unless you have a non-standard custom/tweaked boost/power setup.

i'm using a kraken x41(140mm aio) with a G12 mount, and with MSI afterburner i have power limit set to 120% and core set to +120mhz

because i'm using an AIO and the fans run on a controller not the GPU i was told the card will boost a little high due to the fans not drawing off the GPU's power limit. it did go up but like 20mhz however when running valley or 3Dmark my card doesn't show any limits been hit in after burner

IMHO you've won the silicone lottery with a chip that will sustain speeds of 2120 you just haven't won the rollover and got one that will do more. I expect that you're not actually power limited but have reached the physical limitations of the chip. I guess you could investigate that further by reducing the power limit slightly to see if that impacts on your overclock and stability.
