I was messing with an A0 980X a few weeks ago and hit a CB at -130°C and had CBB at -110°C. Unlike retail 980X, this did not get better when lowering PLL, QPI, or removing memory.

 

Any tips? Did anyone else have issues running A0 980X full pot?

Hey Bullshooter, a lot of GT chips actually can go full pot. I had a B1 chip (retail) that could do it in single channel but as far as I was aware, all A0 (Early 2.40GHz ES samples) chips could do it. I'm trying to figure out why the one I was using couldn't.

I have a lot of GT Chip, 980X, 990X, 970 and 980 and no one can do Full Pot

Boards was Rampage III Black and EVGA E760

My 980X was 1x Q3QP and 1x Q3FE

Mine ran full pot with no issue at all as long as it was in single channel and QPI volts weren't too high, but it was just a retail. The Q3FE chips weren't supposed to have that same issue... full pot with any QPI and full memory banks. At one point, the 980X top ranking was all Q3FE chips. After a while, people found strong retails that would run full pot or really close to it and the ranking has spread out since then.
