Sweet and he has a 300% power bios but that is a bit brave for my Titan.

Gregster have you asked for this thread to be included in the useful links thread sticky

There has been several occasions when I have had to search for this top notch guide.

It won't let me the cmd prompt disappears.

A little update that might help others.

I needed to add in the -f command

I thought it was easier to just add to the bottom of my sig

Next, install the MSI afterburner that came in the tools package. Make sure afterburner is not running and find the MSI afterburner folder that just installed.

Go into that folder and open the 'profiles' folder and you should see 2 files. One looks like this 'VEN_10DE&DEV_1005&SUBSYS_27913842&REV_A1&BUS_1&DEV_0&FN_0.cfg' Open that with notepad and add to the bottom

Evening Greg,

I've flashed the BIOS successfully but for some odd reason I just cannot for the life of me find this profiles folder you refer to...

I've tried the MSI afterburner in the overvolt tools folder you linked too and I've also tried the latest AB download but still to no avail

Any ideas?

EDIT: Scratch that... I installed a version I had in my downloads folder instead. That's worked a treat.

I'll keep you updated

Greg, with the version of AB I'm using it makes no difference when I alter the profile. I've had the 41 message and all seemed to have worked but still no voltage control in AB???

Have you clicked the "unlock voltage control" in the - Settings - General section?

I am using MSI AB beta 16 and it works a treat on that. Can you try that version for me please and let me know? Uninstall and if it hasn't, delete the MSIAfterburner folder and then install the Beta 16 and add the 3 lines to the ven10 file please.

Download from there.

Downloaded Beta 16, there's no profiles folder :/

Gregster · 4 Jan 2014 at 13:58

Sorry, I should have said. move any slider and click apply and that creates the profiles/folder

That's done it

Onto the next step!

Cool and let me know if you have problems. Stick with the 1.3V for now please

Vdroop can be an issue and easily sortable.

As in don't exceed 1.3v on AB? Yeah I hadn't planned to, I really don't fancy pushing too hard

I'll finish the rest of your guide before I tweak anything though anyway. Apart from the Zawardo bit

AB allows you to go to 1.3V and with the extra from the flash, you will be hitting 1.325v if you max it (which is fine).

The Zawarudo mod is sweet but the version I supplied isn't compatible with this AB but there is a newer one which works with AB beta 16.

I wont bother adding any more V despite the temps being really good (<40*C)

@1.3v I'm benching +440/+650

Very nice clocks and temps. I couldn't get near that on my Titan without risking it with more volts.....

Shame I seem to have hurt my 2500k though, it used to bench happily at 5.46GHz but now I can only get 5.1GHz... guess 1.6+ volts wasn't ideal

That's hurting the benches now!

Those volts are nuts

And you have to remember that the 780 will be pushing your CPU when benching, it will pick out weaknesses in an overclock more so than say a 660 would.

Probably anyway, as I imagine more stress on the PCI-E lane.

Yeah true. I didn't mind pushing £100 worth of CPU but this is by far the most expensive card I've ever had so I don't like to abuse it. Despite it barely costing me £200

Yer, I read you had a proper touch with selling your old card. Proper result.
