NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD

Someone said the BIOS are there but there's no way to flash them currently. It's going to be a risk too as these cards don't have dual BIOS and if it goes wrong your warranty is void.
 
Just edited the stock MSI bios.

Used the newest version of GPUz to save the bios. Then KeplerBiosTweaker to open it up and adjust the maximum TDP from 110% (220) to 125% (250)

I'm not going to bother changing voltages or min clock speeds yet. Just want to see how far it can go with just a bump in the power limit

Judging by the table posted earlier, you should be able to get 1600mhz stable with 125% power, is that the max?
 
That's just down to the chip if yours can't do more Kipz. Obviously more power and voltage will help you out but some chips seem to be able to surpass 1600 already.

There's not a lot to learn about GPU overclocking really, it's pretty basic unless you're messing with LN2 and stuff.
 
I'm wondering of I could just squeeze the gigabyte in with that metal guard on the back. Or can I use one of the other pcie slots?

Anyone got any pics of a gigabyte in there case?

Buy an AIO water cooler for your CPU. That's probably way too close with a backplate on, I wouldn't want it pressing against the CPU heatsink that's for sure.
