K|NGP|N: Overvoltaging alone does not help ‘Maxwell’ to overclock

Very nice work as always by Vince.

We are doing the same with HOF. I beat Titan X in 11 at similar clocks. I also beat a 2k Titan X in heaven.

Custom PCB with Custom Firmware and Bios is the only way to get maximum efficiency out of these GPU. Unlocked Bios alone is doing very little these days.

Please don't shoot me but I suppose custom firmware is not available to an average 980 HOF owner like myself and reserved for extreme overclockers only? :confused:

as you said bios alone doesn't help a lot and so the headroom for overclocking is not much greater than any other ordinary card.
 
I think the KFA are binned for clock speed. But I'll let Ian confirm or deny. It does help to an extent, the G1 has much cleaner power and can be seen to out perform plenty of reference cards. Most custom AIBP boards should, but the headroom is a lot more marginal than it was on Kepler.
