Xtreme Addict Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Did the mods today. The cold throttling is a very small resistor and hard to desolder (for me at least). I suggest just use a good pair of tweezers to pull it off. Anyway, what should the power consumption in GPU-Z read after shorting the power limit resistors? Mine reads about 20% idle at 1500MHz in "3D always mode". Around 62% at load. Seems high to me. I've had problems before getting the solder to stick on the power limit resistors. They are slippery Just wondering if I need to resolder... Regarding mod - this one is pretty easy. Just buy a soldering station with a hot air (even a cheap one for 50-60 euro) and it will be very easy pulling off components might destroy soldering points and take even a trace with a soldering point. Believe me you don't want this. Just put some soldering grease on the resistor, warm it up with hot air and touch with soldering iron for few seconds and move soldering iron with a resistor and it will just be perfectly unsoldered. You are pushing great in terms of OCing so to be complete try to learn a bit more about soldering - practice on some dead hw. Friendly advice Regarding GPU-Z - I am not 100% sure right now, but from what I remember it will always shows power consumption at 20% in my case. Edited February 23, 2016 by Xtreme Addict Quote
Rauf Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks for the replies, I will redo all three power mods tomorrow. Will try with wire instead of solder blob. Maybe it sticks better. Quote
xxbassplayerxx Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 If your solder isn't sticking, try cleaning up the area first. Use a bit of flux, and heat up the pad, not the solder itself. Once the iron is on the pad for a few seconds, touch the solder to the pad. It should flow pretty easily, even without flux. Quote
elmor Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 You don't need the power limit mod because of the power limit, rather it's a problem of very high current going through those two resistors. At full speeds it's easily 30A through each and 4.5W of power that needs to be dissipated if you don't short them. Also there's additional input voltage droop which is less than ideal. Quote
Doug2507 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Little bit of ambient pre testing before cold. 3x sammy cards, 67/74/79 asic. All tested with GT2 Vant. Stock vGPU. Core: Mem: 67 - 1520mhz (42 deg) 2265mhz@1.78v (didn't like higher vmem. Heavy artifact on start & system lock) 74 - 1500mhz (52 deg) 2290+mhz@1.8v 79 - 1510mhz (47deg) 2310+mhz@1.8v Being a 3d on cold noob, i'm guessing the first is the one to run with....? Quote
Rauf Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 They are close enough on air that I would say try them all It's a guessing game as to which scales the best. Are you coming to sheffield? Someone said you couldn't make it? Quote
Alex@ro Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Found a 980TI Strix at a gamer and ofc snagged it for the name of overclocking after he told he had 84.9% ASIC Quick test on water can do 1560/2160 stock vgpu/stock vram with ln2 bios.It is v2 with ASP controller and Samsung Ram,pretty much a Matrix without Gpu Tweak voltage control Quote

Go for highest memory clock. Quote
Lays Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Anyone here know if I'll be needing to do the cold throttling mod for just DICE? I should be benching it on cold once I get a 6700k. 1550|2250 seems to be real easy on it on water @ around 30c load, 73.8% asic. Hoping on DICE I can get it up towards 1700-1750. Edited February 24, 2016 by Lays Quote
Alex@ro Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I dont think you will have any problems on dice, i tested dice on a strix sthat can do 1500-1510 on water and reached about 1670-1680 so your estimations should be reached with a fat pot ofc Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote
Rauf Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Redid the powermods today. Got some flux to and learned about that It helps alot. Also used 1,5 mm2 solid copper wire instead of just solderblob. 1,5 mm2 is probably overkill but now it's properly done at least. After proper mods, 6% power at load on air: Quote
Rauf Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Tried my card on LN2 last weekend at the MLG bench meet. Used Unigine Heaven Xtreme as I was benching for the Pro OC cup. Had a lot of trouble, card wouldn't do any more than 1850 core. No matter volts or temps. Tried it again yesterday, this time testing possible clocks with Fire strike GT1. Did 2100 core pretty easily. Then back to Heaven again and...max 1850! Any ideas what's causing this? Or just unlucky and that's the way this card behaves in Heaven? From the top scores it seems Heaven and Fire Strike should be able to do about the same clocks. Quote
xxbassplayerxx Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 How does it crash as you go over 1850? Quote
Rauf Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Been using AX1500 for gpu only, or 8 pack psu for whole system (z170). Crash occur with screen lock or black screen. Task manager works to access error message from Unigine. After closing error message and disable and reenable gpu in device manager everything works again. Quote
Rauf Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah, tried both win7 and 8. Latest driver in 7 and older driver in 8. Quote
xxbassplayerxx Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Guess it's time to toss the card. I'll help you recycle it :celebration: Quote
Lays Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Just thought I'd post an issue with that BIOS Elmor posted on here with better memory OC. If you try to do GPUPI or any GPU compute benchmarks / folding, the card goes into P8 state for some reason, and downclocks to 405 mhz. I just flashed the stock BIOS back on, and now it's working fine. Figured I should let everyone know incase they have problems like I did. Edited March 4, 2016 by Lays Quote
Gunslinger Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 What's the best version of GPUTweak to use for this? The version I've got is buggy. If I adjust fan speed I lose the display, vgpu is limited to 1.2 and zero vmem control Yes, LN2 mode pads are shorted and is enabled Quote
Rauf Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Latest from asus official site works well. Also the version mentioned here in this thread. Quote
