Can't seem to get past 1.216v on this card.

 

Enabled the dip switches but to no avail.

Tried several ABX editions but voltage is always stuck at +0.200.

 

Ideas?

 

Drivers, skill?

Witch ABX Version you use? With newer than 2.2B5 i have the same problem

did you try ABX 2.1?

I tried the 2.10 MOA edition and it gives 1.6v but doesn't apply it.

Used a multimeter to confirm.

 

Does all the switches have to be at the ON position?

 

Did you switched to LN2 BIOS ?

I didn't have lightning X version , but it should be same as 1.5GB. First double switch from right should boost vGPU and vMem 0.1 Volt, try them. Did you measure voltage with multimeter under gpu load ? Turn all switches On but don't stay on full load for long time.

 

Southerner switch (near PCI-E slot) is for cold-bug , I don't think that should be necessary to be On. (Num 1 = on : -80C , Num 1+2 = on : -180C)

Yes, turned them all on, nothing changed.

Max voltage I could get is 1.276v with AUX at +.05.

 

Thanks!

Did you check while in 3dmode? Enable Force constant voltage, in Afterburner settings.

all switches on and ln2 bios and check your email

Allen to the rescue ! Gamer's wife will be very unhappy again tonite thanks to you

Lol:p

LN2 bios is not on the card? It should be I think?

There is an LN² bios on the card, but I get the CB at -75°.

 

I can use the same bios as on the 1.5GB version?

CBB is solved with the XtremeCool switches on the back - both should be ON.

They are both at the on position.

are you forcing 3d at all times?

No, I don't.

nOOb, told you trice already
