Nice! You should do something like the benchmarks forum has, a spreadsheet in the original post to document everyones best overclocks and which make/model cards they have. We could use 3dmark11 / GPU-z screenshots / URLs to verify OCs.

That would be sick! thumb.gif What does everyone else think, and does anyone have the time to do it?

the answer may be no,
but could this be the GTX 670/680 unlocked voltage discussion thread?
also dig the spreadsheet idea.

Yeah, just thought it would be nice to help you and the other MSI owners take your thread back, lol.

Oh nice.

So I'll put my 2 cents in about flashing my Asus DCII TOP 680 with the MSI 680 LN2 bios. It worked as planned as the flashing went. But only allowed me to go up to 1.21v. Through software measurment only, could be higher with a multimetre.

The problem with the bios was that my benchmarks and games stuttered like crazy and when looking at the Afterburner gpu clocks, I noticed the clocks were fluctuating from 1400Mhz to 1200MHz to even 600MHz or so. Not sure why the card was throttling since I'm water cooled.

Funnny thing is, Afterburner acted like my aircooler fan was attached and gpuz was stuck at %30. In Afterburner, the fan speed went higher and lower. Maybe the bios thought my fan RPM wasn't high enough under heavy load? so it throttled?

I don't know.thinking.gif I just flashed back and now I'm deciding to do the hotwire function on my set up.

So just some info for other users who want to flash thier Asus DCii 680 to the MSI LN2 bios.smile.gif

Now that you've done it, i'm really digging the spreadsheet database idea. We could also make a "top 30 overclocks" type of thing.

We just need to find someone willing to do it! thumb.gif

PS. FtW420 will be #1 in the top overclocks contest lol

Yea, the LN2 bios did nothing for my DC II. Sticking to the Hotwire mod thumb.gif

On my MSI N670 Power Edition with AB 2.2.3 i noticed that my core clock also fluctuated between 1350 MHz and 1290 MHz (1350 was achieved with +20mV on the core voltage). It seemed like every other second it was alternating between the two clock speeds. Prior to adding voltage via AB 2.2.3 my core clock never fluctuated while running Unigine.

What the heck is going on?

I would have been content for another month with the 1.21v-1.26v LN2 bios!biggrin.gif
