What is the best/easiest way to change the Default Clocks?

NiBiTor any good or anything better, do they work?

Thinking about buying a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780Ti WindForce 3x OC then modifying the BIOS so it runs like a GHZ Edition.

nibitor was always good but I just got it again to check and doesn't appear to work for me. Might be ok for you though.
Cheers I found this >> http://www.overclock.net/t/1424569/kepler-bios-editing-flashing-tool

I noticed skyn3t already modded the bios for the above card so it runs at a 1045 base clock >> http://www.overclock.net/t/1438886/official-nvidia-gtx-780-ti-owners-club

Yer. Skyn3t is a legend in my eyes and I swear by his BIOS's. I am using one of his for my Titan, just because I like the clocks to be static and not boosting (I know what I am getting fps wise at what clocks I set).
This is going to sound totally dippy, the disabled boost does that mean if I push the GPU Offset so Im at 1200MHz Base Clock it keeps at that, also will it still downclock with the Skyn3t BIOS for power saving?

As you can tell I've never looked into this... :o

Basically, you fire up your computer and the GPU sits at 325Mhz Core. you fire up a game and it jumps up to 1045Mhz (if you use Skynets BIOS). As soon as you stop playing, it drops down to 325Mhz again.

If you run MSI AB and add +200Mhz to the core for instance, it will sit at 325Mhz on desktop/idle and as soon as you start gaming, it will jump up to 1245Mhz (if you use Skynets BIOS) and again, when you stop playing it drops down to 325Mhz. At what ever you set the speed at, it stays there and doesn't fluctuate. I notice in loading screens/menus, it drops off but that is the only time it does.

If you are not under water, just keep an eye on temps, as I believe it also stops the heat throttling but not 100% on that.

If you use Skynets BIOS, add 3 lines to MSI AB Beta 18 and you can have up to 1.3V as well (1.325V effective with Skynets BIOS).

No boost means your offset is added to the 3dbase and not to boost. So 1006mhz base at +200 gives ~1200mhz static clock regardless of temps. If it were boosting the clock speeds would be all over the shop.

Use kbe or similar for bios editing, has to be a kepler tool. Though the 700 series don't have as much support as the 600 series did, hence why skynets bioses are so popular. 600 series you could change power targets, voltages, statics and boost maximums etc...a lot of this is missing for 700 cards.
Thanks, I guess if using old games that don't use much power it will run at maximum clock regardless? i.e. with boost removed?

Do you know what Skyn3t uses to edit the BIOS? I'm guessing some sort of hex editor?

Basically better off using his BIOS than messing around with the risk of ballsing up the BIOS/Card.

At the bottom of my sig is a guide to flashing and overclocking, which has some useful info in.
Cheers, subscribed. I'll have a look later.
