Essex innit!
Just been reading up on unlocking volts on a 680 and this lil gadget looks the buisness. I understand it is only for the classified 680's from EVGA.

I'd just like to clarify some things.


This is a real score and that is the real clock. This OC was achieved with an EVGA Signature card with the stock heatsink (almost the same as reference), air cooling only. I was there during the run, I've seen it in person. I was also there and helped when Kingpin broke the Quad-GPU aircooling records on 3DMark11 with all four cards at 1400-1420MHz. The method is secret, but the results are real.




Additionally, the EVGA GTX680 Classified will have unlocked voltage without need for hardmods, using EVBot. Voltage can be adjusted up to 1.80V (though a voltage that high is not recommended ). I'd also like to point out that Zotac's super card will not be sold in the US, and that the Asus Matrix card requires an Asus RoG motherboard and hardmods to unlock voltage. The Classified requires only EVBot.

My main dissapointment is of the 680's hard locked volts and treating me/others like children with cotton wool wrapped around us. The classified and signature models will come with unlocked volts and use the EVBot to adjust them.

Just an interesting read for any interested guys.
 
Could it be possible to bios flash to the classified/signature then use EVbot, or are these cards different at a hardware level?
 
Im not into volting cards to get better overclocks, aslong as i get a modest boost im happy. Imagine bricking a £600 F T W 4gb! Id saw my head off with disgust at myself lol

So, if i over volt it and blow my card to bits, evga will replace my card? hows that work? surely that gives an invite to anyone to just go crazy for lols to get huge overclocks for benches

That's why you pay so much for their warranty :)

There must be no physical damage to the card

Never seem to get why people are more reluctant to oc a gpu than their cpu.

Dunno, I'd overclock my case as well if I could!

I love getting more than what is advertised. I think it is the fact 'we can' OC which appeals. I remember having to hacksaw an Amiga1200 internals to fit a HDD and this kind of thing is what I enjoy. I don't mess like I used to but modding is something I want to seriously get into.
