Just curious if it's worth flashing the BIOS ?
And if so should I get the F3P or F3 version ?

F3P Version - believe its the F4 version or the prelude to the F4 Beta - guessing your on F2 ?
@AORUS UK should be able to confirm but if on F2 worth the update as TDP will be lowered without effecting performance
I made the thread before I actually checked, but I'm on the F3 Bios, I've read some reports of F3P causing stability issues with OC though so not sure it's worth it ?
If your on F3 and happy, stick with it. F2 was the power drainer . And I'm guessing you can still slide the max power to 150% on it.
Worth a note, Aorus engine isn't the best, I just use it for RGB or use Gigabyte board to control and have it was windows doesn't load it up at the start and Use Afterburn- software less buggy for overclocks
Be interesting to see if F3P is actually release of F4 but named wrong or is a stop gap

My Aorus 1080Ti Xtreme came with F3P bios, and haven't flashed it.
The slider works to 150% and overclocks nicely
Word of advice. Do not have installed the Aorus software and MSI AB at the same time.
They conflict. One or the other.
What have you been able to overclock, and by how much, using AB....?
Mine clocks, be default, to 2012mhz when playing a game.....

....I'll try that, thanksMine goes 2075 without setting clock speed. Just the PL slider only.

What temps and does it throttle ?
The 1080ti throttles down a step each 10 degrees you lose 13 MHz at 39, 49, and 59C it's why it runs best undervolted at the sweetspot of lowest voltage and lowest temp at best clockspeed. I'm still trying to tweak and my card is nowhere near as lucky as yours but I'm managing stability at 2000mhz @ 1.031v with 53degrees @ 80% fans BUT it's only at 90% TDP. I think the fact I have a room which holds heat far too efficiently is crippling my ability to OC unless I go custom loop
The Aorus already come with good clocks which seems to leave very little room for clocking (for me at least) unless you get lucky silicon that can go much higher (in your case you probably have this lucky silicon)
Here are my profile settings.
All Pascal cards throttle from the moment they cross 32C. Hence is a battle between voltage and heat.
When I watercool it, going to start working my way through the boost 3.0. But atm ain't finding the point.
Also with that custom profile the fan never goes above 65%.
