Overclocking Reference GeForce 980

[glenimp617]

Hi all,

Installed a reference 980 last night so not really had chance to put it through its paces. I did run heaven benchmark just to get an idea

It ran at 80c and reported to be running at 1394MHz which I assume is the top boost so not throttling back. The fans were audible, but didn't check to see how fast they were running.

Ideally I'd like a +200mhz increase on the core. ASIC is over 72% can't remember the exact figure.

any recommendations? I don't know what temps everyone else is getting on the ref boards, but don't want to overclock if im already at the top end of high

Thanks

Thanks for the reply

I have just been looking on the nvidia site and the standard boost clock is 178 lower than mine? I therefore assume mine is running +178mhz boost. Not sure how or why?

stock bios as well

ah ok, that makes sense

guess I might as well just leave things alone then
