Seemed to pass OCCT just fine.
I might just leave my cards on +0mV and overclock them a little...

Undervolting is where its at on reference cards, for me at least. If you need more fps then go for it.

I have my crappy card at the top at the moment, if I wanna undervolt I have to switch them again. Effort lol
Caporegime
Switch!

Would ULPS be affecting overclocking at all?
I can run at 1050Mhz at +0mV but it crashes at 1100Mhz with +100mV. It's pretty weird.

Disable it.

But dat idle noise

Reseat your gpu's. Change paste, tighten up all screws as far as they go, including the screws that hold the shroud in place. i just don't know how 20% can be loud lol.

I have stickers on the screws so no can do 
I think they idle at about 1100rpm don't they?
Yeah ULPS was definitely breaking my overclocks. Just had them running at 1150Mhz.

Ask MSI if you can change the paste. They might let you.
God dammit why did i tell you to do that. 1150mhz? That shames me and disgraces GM's whole family.

Hm I might.
Don't worry, it's not stable
I got some flickers. But before it was instantly crashing at 1100.

I disable UPLS and i don't even have CF

1100 might be possible though.

It makes zero difference for single card users lol.

From what I can tell, if you use ULPS then the voltage you apply in AB only works for the first card, but if you disable ULPS then it works for both.
That's what I think anyway.

at stock volts?
darn it
Soldato
No not at stock volts
That would mean I got some good overclockers. That could never happen

Spot on.

Got my cards switched back. Time to downvolt and try some Far Cry 
I'm tempted to run my cards at 1Ghz tbh. 947 just bugs me for some reason.
Now I'm blackscreening at the desktop when undervolting
I think I'm best just leaving the volts at stock

^Nice. What voltage settings?
