Well, positive LOD should alleviate the gpu load, in some ways when rendering the displayed image.

 

So not surprising that with lower load = lower stress on the gpu = lower power/T° required = highers oc clocks!

 

Lol cool!

LOL

ok guys, i found something funny

when i enabled LOD +3, i can do +150 core +1000 stable most of the time

now im really have no idea how that can happen

[weird unstable overclock with 1050 TI]

Nope consider it is a build in protection for the GPU, Buildzoid and Der8auer have made some nice articles about it.

 

Only way to circumvent that power limit is to do a shunt resistor mod, voiding your warranty again...

 

Instead using liquid thermal paste, what about the old trick of using graphite?

 

Using a soft pencil, drawing on the top of the resistor and apply a thin layer of graphite could help, giving a small current boost?

 

Should not be an issue with the warranty since it is very easy to remove and leave no traces usually.

 

thanks for both of you

but i think theres nothing i can do furthermore

i will just accept it the fact that i lose the hardware lottery

 

cheers

ya i can run the +80 core and mem +1000 perfectly stable

and the power limit is still the same going up and down between 88-94% on graphic test 1 & 2

do you have any information why my GPU cant use power limit over 95%? i already set it 100%

 

Does PSU and motherboard have an impact that causing my GPU power limit instability?

Does all GPU use 100% it's power limit when fully loaded? Do I get a bad 1050 TI?

I do not think the distributor warranty worth something, since they will ship back the card to the manufacturer, so again customers laws should protect you.

 

Nevertheless i do not know how good/bad distributors are when handling with these stuff in your country, so yeah if you think it's a "no go" keep the stickers.

 

Just add some fans all over the place to try to lower the gpu/vrm t°.

 

yeah, like what linus said on their video about removing warranty sticker that i just watch

its just like a "contract" and if it broke, they wont take it and ship it to the manufacturer, and i already tear the sticker a little bit so i wont take the risk

and going to court is a no no for me lol

 

thanks for your time helping me out

[weird unstable overclock with 1050 TI]

You can gently remove the warranty sticker, heating it just just a bit with an hairdryer to help the removal and using a clean cutter blade.

 

For your information, manufacturer will not refuse your card if you removed/destroy the sticker, it's more a deterrence move.

 

The most important thing is to have the card as it was at stock without any evident damage caused by you.

 

Usually there is a law to cite if the stubborn manufacturer still refuse the warranty, that state you own/bought the card and could remove the sticker if you wanted to without breaking the warranty, as you paid for the ownership of the goods.

 

when i first had it, i want to replace the paste with mine and tried to open the sticker with flat head screwdriver and it broke a little bit since its like fragile pieces. so i was like "oh bunnyextraction, nevermind then" lol

 

sadly its abit different here in my country, all product is shipped by a distributor and all warranty claim goes to them. they have their own warranty sticker seal. so if i broke the seal, i cant claim warranty to them. well we do can claim warranty directly to the manufacturer but it will cost us shipping cost, and its expensive.

so yeah, little fact about my country for you

 

oh btw, the screw seal is just a sticker with a purchase date and stick across the PCB and on top of the screw haha

Try to lower your gpu t° as much you can also, changing thermal paste, fan 100%, additional fan on the card/vrm.

The best would be to slap a water cooling on it. It should also help with reaching your max clocks.

 

i did crank up the fan to 100%, and also i did test it with room ambient 27C

but for changing the thermal paste, i cant do that for now. because in my country, they put the warranty seal on the screw so i open it, my warranty will void lol

but thanks for the reply and suggestion

[weird unstable overclock with 1050 TI]

so your testing shows it is not the memclock making it fail, it is the core clock. Try +80 core clock and mem at +1000 and see if it passes all the time...

 

like mentioned each benchmark stresses the gpu differently, so it could be it passes one benchmark at +110/1050 and onother one only at +90/1000.

 

ya i can run the +80 core and mem +1000 perfectly stable

and the power limit is still the same going up and down between 88-94% on graphic test 1 & 2

[weird unstable overclock with 1050 TI]

just re-test firestrike with eg +100 core clock and only +950 mem clock. if that passes you know, it is the memory on the gpu holding back the card in that test. Continue testing till you find the max for your card.

 

I usually test first max stable core clocks. Than add the memory into the mix.

 

Remeber that each benchmark stresses the card differently, so one needs to find different operational aka stable values per benchmark.

 

OC is all about logic debugging

 

thanks for the reply

i tried +110 core and 0 mem clock, still same. i just update my driver and i think +100 core and +1000 mem clock is ok. havent test it many times

 

+110 core & +1000 mem mostly failed but sometime pass

 

and 1 more thing, i checked OSD and i saw the power limit never went pass 95%, i already set it to 100%, why is that?

could it effect the crash?

and also the volt mostly stuck at 1.1V

sometimes it go 1.112V but most of the time its 1.1v

 

PS : this is not for daily use, im trying to get high graphic score as high as i can for a competition

 

the main question for me right now is why the power limit / consumption never go over 95%, it went up and down 88-94%

because i believe the correct one have to be maxed at 99/100%

[weird unstable overclock with 1050 TI]

Hi, I'm a newbie overclocker just started learning about it

 

So I have Galax 1050 TI, I did overclock with +100 voltage, 100% power limit(already max, can't increase), +1000 Mem clock & + 90~100 core clock

When I test it in firestrike benchmark sometimes the test pass until finish sometimes it crash during the last tick when loading test (mostly graphic test 2 loading) and sometimes during the test, but never crash on physic test and combined test

The temp never reach past 60 C during whole test

 

So I test it using unigin heaven extreme preset about 10 minute+ and it never crash. I even manage to up the core to +150 core clock and test it again at unigine heaven and never crash and the temp can reach 70+

 

What happen with my overclock?
