Are all card expected to run +200 and +2000 just fine? FE's for example or is that too much of a stretch? for day to day stuff/gaming.
Day to day -20% powerlimit, if you want it to live LOL
 
Following the Igor’s Lab writeup, I was able to increase my average memory clock speed in Port Royal from 1939 MHz to 2125 MHz. However, my average core clock speed dropped from 2856 to 2712. If I add more offset to the core, the benchmark crashes.

Make the GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 significantly faster? A Blackwell overclocking guide (not only) for dummies | Page 4 | igor´sLAB

Before:
I scored 39 293 in Port Royal

Hoping one of the vendors releases a card with two power connectors so an XOC bios will be able to pull >600W without being out of spec on the 12VHPWR connectors. Then we can play with the memory and GPU clocks without one limiting the other due to power limit.
 
I have a 5090 FE. It made some extremely loud pulsating coil whine on pretty much any frame rate as long as the wattage was high. The worst I’ve ever heard.

this was paired with a Corsair SF1000 psu. Over the next week and a half, it seemed like it went down but was still noticeable. Here, I bent the 12vhpwr cable downwards through the middle of the card at an angle from where the female port is and ran it through a hole at the middle of the case.

At this point I switched to a Corsair hx1200i. Gave a bit of a whine even on idle. Under load it sounded like a laser machine gun or something going off any time the gpu was utilized In this configuration, the 12vhpwr cable was routed in a straight line and through a hole towards the front of my case.

Finally I tested on a super flower leadex vii 1000w. Silent during idle, improvement over the hx1200i. I originally ran the cable straight from the female port and it also had the machine gun noise at first. Ran benchmarks and stressed over night and thought it got slightly better. Then I tried routing it through the middle like with the sf1000 by bending the cable. Interestingly, I heard another click. Which was strange since I had heard the initial click when connecting all of the cables. Note, this isn’t trying to bend the power cable at a right angle, it was just from pulling it downwards a bit to maneuver the cable and run it through an opening to the cable chamber in the case.

Booted up again and the coil whine was significantly reduced from where it was before but at least on par with the sf1000. So ultimately I didn’t resolve the coil whine but i do wonder if some if it is based on vibrations in the female vh12pwr port from so much power and not truly “clicking” in place all the way. Still even with this experimentation its still unacceptable levels of noise for me.

regardless, would love to try a gigabyte or suprim if I could get my hands on one.

...that would be the Galax HoF OCL, if/when it releases...previous two versions (3090 Ti, 4090) of the Galax HoF already head dual 12VHPWR connectors and ~ 1kW XOC bios (restricted to owners of said card).

My 5090 FE doesn't have any coil whine (thankfully), but I feel like coil whine is as random as the silicon lottery.

The HOF isn’t coming to the US, so unless MSI saves the Western market with a Lightning, I’ll be disregarding the Igor’s lab atrticle and using PX1.

Since the AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE GeForce RTX 5090 is equipped with liquid metal. Anyone know if the cold plate is nickel plated? What with AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE GeForce RTX 5090 (WB) version? I can't see Gigabyte mention anythig for this model. Thanks

Maybe @sugi0lover know ?


Asus went cheapo for their 4090 Matrix flagship (5090 pricing, thanks). There was no money left in the tank to add nickel plating for that card. Only for the Liquid metal. Not what you should expect for the top tier. And I hope Gigabyte don't make same stupid mistake. But everything is possible with that brand... Still not forgot their cheapo heatsink for their 1070 G1 Gaming card.

Edit. Quite tragic. Or better say disgusting.

Fun times. No PhysX support for 5090 on older games. Games with 100+ fps on 4090 drop to 13 fps on 5090.

Oh wow, lol. I'm actually re-playing Borderlands 2 with some old mates currently, guess I better wrap that one up before Jensen opens the flood gates. A big bummer, as CPU PhysX just doesn't even come close to playable.

2x gpu 😆
5090+ 4090 for physX 😅

It’d be impossible to use Liquid Metal with an uncoated copper coldplate. Wouldn’t last more than a few months without going bad. And would create little hard beads that would need to be scraped off and surface sanded down before re-application. It will take several cleanings and reapplications before the Liquid Metal has transformed enough of the outer layer of the copper to not be so reactive to further Liquid Metal applications.

Also a pure uncoated copper cold plate is actually better if you’re not using Liquid Metal. It’s not just a $$ issue.
 
Seems likely, go for it.
I did... :confused:

Played an hour of avowed until nvdklm crash. Tuned it down and was able to play another 1/2h no issues.
Now, I was using the default fan curve, it could be that under load with 200/2000 you might need a fan curve at 100% turbojet mode ? :-/
Or, the issue has to do with having power limit at 70% at the moment (could very well be actually now that I think about it and write it) and the card gets starved for power under heavy load with such OC?

Thoughts on these 2 assumptions?

I'll retested when I finally get my PSU.

+260 (Can +280 but give more relax) +2000 no problem here.
Depend of gpu
