How to over volt a Titan, a 780Ti or a 780 guide
- Thread starter Gregster
- Start date
You can always type CMD at the Start button and right click it and run as admin. Then all you have to do is navigate to where you have the nvflash.exe.
I have supplied all the tools you need in the OP.
That's quite handy to know cheers. What version worked for you?
Thanks and will keep that in mind for future 
lol want me to phone ya?
I might well have a play. I tried some overclocking earlier and went to 320.18 drivers but still can't stop throttling. Not sure I want to go that high on power but that should put pay to the throttling. Maybe when it is colder and 20nm is on the horizon, I will kill my Titan
Well, as I was hitting 42c, I don't think it is heat that is making it throttle
I think it has something to do with putting around 450w+ through 300w designed power connectors, as anything around 1350mhz is fine but pushing to 1400mhz sees throttling.I don't really want to kill my card just yet for the sake of a few more mhz and can see the 200% 600w bios doing that
I love benching and pushing the boundaries but I also have a couple of games I want to play and not up for playing them on a smelly 6970
I tried this with my Classified but it doesn't work. A bit disappointing that people with reference cards have access to more volts than I do
EVGA have given you voltage already
Like Scotty said, EVbot for over 1.3v
I would say that the higher the voltage you put in, the more you will degrade the chip but I also feel it is temp related, so a trade off with temps and volts is fair.
85c and 1.162v = 50c and 1.3v
Of course it isn't anything like that but that would be something for the science people to work out over years and years of testing.
My advice is run what you are comfortable with and only give some volts if you are cooling the vrms (as these will go pop in no time if not cooled).

Thanks for the guide greg! Successfully flashed my MSI Gaming 780 with the skynet rom. Removed vdroop and cranked the voltage to 1325. Heaven benched @1300Mhz no probs.
Like you I'm using a EK-FC block with Titan backplate. In heaven it doesn't get over 49C
Few notes about your guide:
- I think the initial command is nvflash --protectoff
- I had to upgrade nvflash from the supplied version when I tried to flash
Cheers for the feedback and Tonester had the same issue. I have never used that command but assumed from other forums it needed to be done but I have flashed 4 Nvidia cards and none of them have needed it, so I am going to remove that command.
I will leave that version in but will make a note to others who have problems to go for the latest NVFlash. I will add a link
Have you put all 3 lines into the VEN_10DE file?
Including this [settings] ?
Including this [settings] ?
Yep it will. I believe the 780 will have a 125% power target. You can get higher ones but that is enough for me.
BIOS flashing is very easy and as long as you have a backup of your BIOS, it is safe. Even if you kill the card, as long as you have another GPU, you can still flash the Eeprom (or so I have been told) but never been fortunate enough to test this
Could you show me a Screen shot of the MSI AB Profiles folder please. You should be using the AB I provided or the earlier version and it should be a case of adding those 3 lines and saving and then AB asking for a restart of the computer after you open AB up again.
I see you have 2 files, did you do the same for the other file?
And with CMD prompt, if you type msiafterburner /ri4,20,99 it still returns invalid? If so, maybe this wont work for your GPU.
Better pic but would be better in a spoiler tag

I have looked about and seen others have flashed their DCII 780's and this worked a treat with them....
I don't get it.
I've done everything to the letter.
Yep but maybe a newer revision has put a stop to it. I am just guessing in honesty.
Yer seems my NVflash is out of date now. As for the warnings...Man up
