Yes, you can safely increase it. I'm not sure why you chose to do it that way, but you still aren't going to overdraw the card no matter what you set in there. Are you sure you are power limiting though? It's pretty unusual for power limit to be an issue once it is increased above the stock 100%.

With the way its currently set in there right now the max 220000 i just experienced power draw throttle briefly playing BF3. It wasn't temp related. And it wasnt voltage related. Which means it likely went above the 220000 max briefly. Which is why i was wondering if i could safely raise that a bit so it doesn't happen.

Glancing at precision, i saw the power target max out at 99%, for the most part it stayed around the 80's mid 70's. But seeing as i have the bios modded to only hit 99.9%/100% It wasn't able to draw any more power that it needed. Max being 220000, causing the throttle, when it might of needed say 221500. I just wanted to make sure that raise the stock max above 225w wouldn't blow my card up, my PSU can handle it

The reason i have the min def and max all set the same is so that there is no fluctuation, i always have a steady 225w+ coming into the cards.

When you have HBAO etc all the fancy stuff turned on playing a 64 man metro server with all the explosions on the stairs C4 etc, you would be shocked to see how much power is drawn. Its pretty insane.

I am confused as to how this process works. I increased my clock offset by increments of 20mhz and was checking gpu-z to see my core and boost clock. I eventually had my boost to around 1267mhz....but in unigine my card was running at around 1215mhz and then spiked to 1347mhz and crashed. How can the card exceed the boost clock I have set? Also, my power usage never goes above 80%, why is that? I see other people hitting like 120% or higher. Can someone explain this to me? My clock speeds are not completely constant either, they fluctuate a little bit, is that normal?
