xxbassplayerxx Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 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?

xxbassplayerxx Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Didn't try that. I was running 1.75V or so... maybe 1.80V. I don't want to kill my hypers Maybe I should put in my Samsungs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxbassplayerxx Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 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.

Bulshooter Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxbassplayerxx Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) 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.
