Anyway to get past HW TDP lock?

[Tim Drake]

It seems my card has decided to restrict itself to 110% power limit and starts throttling at anything above that.

 

A member has already tried BIOS hacking it but it seems to be HW locked by MSI.

 

Is there nothing I can do as I know my card could hit higher overclocks if MSI weren't doo doo heads

There is no OC button on your GPU? This might unlock it even more (and void warranty)

I think Gofspar sent me your BIOS on skype to look at let me see what I can do with it and I'll PM you it.

Yeah he already tried just raising it through a BIOS edit but it throttles at 110%

 

It seems a lot of games I play hit that TDP at high overclocks too :'(

 

It's just annoying because I know it can do more but MSI bitched out on the power limit D:

 

Thanks

This seems promising but I don't know if I want to hardware mod my card..

They are hardware locked the only way is to do this: http://overclocking.guide/increase-the-nvidia-power-limit-all-cards/

 

However, with your past experience (with your keyboard) I do not think it is a good idea.

Just saw you posted that link...  :lol:
