    GTX 1080 crazy OC?

    in General hardware discussion

    Posted

    man I hope custom cards will solve this somehow. It sucks because this card would be perfect for epower, for someone like me with not a lot of experience it would have been much easier because not as power hungry as titan x. This really does suck for our community, this is like a huge story. Time to start benching cpu's, 980 ti, and older cards. AMD could make a nice move if they could release a nice gpu with no volt limits that we could oc past a locked 1080.

     

    Has anyone had a chance to test a 1080 strix or other custom pcb to see if limit still exists?

    The interesting fact is how the crack/thermal paste degradation occurs.On my backup cpu i get classic crack sometimes,i can quick check a cinebench run with realtemp and see positive temps at -150 pot so i know paste has cracked and shut down platform.

     

    However my best 6700K has different behaviour , no positive temps in realtemp but huge degradation of clocks,can't bench anything over 5900 ,going over will simply freeze.

     

    Also a good tip would be that when u press the lever on the socket i need to seat IHS properly from first try,no matter what. Each time i seated it wrong and did it again without adding paste i had cracks or issues.

     

    ya I just started noticing this the past couple days, makes sense but just didnt realize. 2 nights ago I put ihs down but it was really misaligned so I had to adjust it too much and paste cracked pretty fast.

     

    But last night I put ihs down almost perfectly first shot and not one crack all night, full pot for hours.

     

    Thanks to dancop guide I use the asus cpu tool now which really helps with alignment.

     

    Got my 6100 too almost 6.4ghz hwbot prime but os was a mess, tried stripping win 10 myself but it wasnt right, need more practice.

    I am trying to go as well and been looking for someone to go with to split costs. I would be willing to drive to you and carpool rest of the way. I'm in Milwaukee but you are around half way point. If there's no extra room for me no worries, but my schedule can be wide open (thur-mon etc) but just can't afford paying for room 3 nights solo on top of gas and missed work

     

    ya that's what I'm trying to figure out as well, would love to split costs with someone, with 1080 coming out tomorrow I feel like I'm not going to have enough money.
