Guys any of you able to run Firestrike Ultra? Even on stock I cant run this!

DBT85 · 28 Jun 2015 at 16:42

What happens when you try? Mine worked fine.

Cavallino · 28 Jun 2015 at 16:46

BSOD. The other firestrike demos work absolutely fine continuously.

Digital X · 28 Jun 2015 at 16:50

Checked the event viewer in Windows?

Cavallino · 28 Jun 2015 at 16:57

Never used event viewer but its reporting as a event "41" kernel power.
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

Just FYI, the only thing I did bump up was the voltage to +87 on Firestrike Ultra.

Digital X · 28 Jun 2015 at 17:10

Lower the voltage back down, try again.

Cavallino · 28 Jun 2015 at 17:16

Dang, you read my mind, I just tried it this second and came back to report that its working fine, thanks.

So does this mean I cant run with aggressive settings (as I was doing on Firestrike standard and extreme)?

Or it went far beyond the power limit?

Digital X · 28 Jun 2015 at 17:30

Never used that benchmark so I can't say. But try bumping it up a little at a time until it crashes, then you know the limit.

Indeed. The power limit is even more important if you touch the voltage.

Cavallino · 28 Jun 2015 at 17:52

Should I bump power limit to 109?
Wtf power limit has disappeared on Afterburner... how do I bring it back?

My card. HOF!!! serious PWM edition. 2k+ GPU and 2181 mems FTW.

On full load my 980ti seems to make a funny noise, the best way I can describe is when a cable slightly touches a spinning fan (I've checked and there's no cables in the way). Is this a normal noise?

Cavallino · 28 Jun 2015 at 18:05

Ok move along 8P ya bloody show off

(Very noice btw

Try whacking the fan manually up to 100% and see if you get the same sound.

If not, it then sounds like coil whine etc.
Tbh its not an issue I reckon.

ZeroG · 28 Jun 2015 at 18:14

At 100% speed I can't hear anything but the fans

The noise only really becomes apparent at about 45 - 50%

It's something I can live with as I previously had a Corsair H80i installed and on full load that thing made a racket. the 980ti is nowhere near that level of noise.

I heard about this on the 780 series but I thought they had fixed it.

If you have the EVGA ACX 2.0 fan solution. Take a look at this thread:
EVGA GTX 980 Ti ACX2.0 Annoying Fan Noise at 35-37% RMP

Might be of some help. Do not have any ACX 2.0 myself yet. Probably going for the EVGA 980 Ti Classified (when available). But researched a little, and stored that link for later.

The Core Voltage option on MSI Afterburner is greyed out, how do I change that?

I want to see if I can get 1500+ stable

You have to go into settings and tick Unlock Voltage Control/Monitoring.

Mine is still not letting me adjust mine even with those 2 options ticked, have restarted AB too.
