So I have 2 EVGA 980 Ti Hydro Coppers, running in SLI. They are awesome. I'm cooling them with x2 480mm radiators. So temperatures are never an issue with either the processor or graphics cards. At 100% load at 1468mhz they never really went past 46c. Sound is also likewise never really an issue. I feel that temps will never hold me back, so the issues are properly configuring the cards.
The cards are already pre-overclocked a bit, from my understanding. The Hydro Coppers come as:
1140 MHz Base Clock
1228 MHz Boost Clock
It seems the memory is the same:
7010 MHz (effective)
So I am trying to get to as close to 1500MHz for the core clock as possible, and hopefully about 8000MHz for the effective memory.
Right now I can't figure out how much voltage to give it using MSI Afterburner. If anything it seems like simply using more voltage decreases the amount of time it lasts in stress tests from FurMark.
I run the stress tests at my monitor resolution, 3440x1440.
From what I've seen I get better benchmarks with less voltage. But that makes me wonder how all the overclocks other users use involve the max + offset voltage using MSI Afterburner.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Something I don't get. If the Boost Clock is 1228, how come simply adding +112MHz using MSI brings it to 1482MHz in all the monitoring software.
