    Just to let you know you were right on the money, one of the 4 screws behind the backplate was slightly loose. 
     
    temps are now steady @52c under full load and boost behaviour is now much more consistent at 200mhz over factory max without any manual over clocking 
     
    thank you very much!

    You know that makes a lot of sense I will do that, I have rung screws in the past with EK stuff so was being extra gentle this time around. Maybe a bit too gentle.. 
     
    will report back in case you’re interested thanks for helping me out friend.

    So more speed but no extra cooling, sounds like the waterblock not getting as much heat as possible. Could be a mounting pressure issue if idle temps are fine, try tighten the screws. Otherwise the thermal paste application could be the root of the problem.

    Same for air? High heat densities can reduce difference between air and liquid cooling (since it turns from heatsink/radiator surface area competition into heatpipe/liquid loop heat transfer rate, i.e. how much heat you can pull out of the die rather than deliver to the radiator), though I still expect a loop this big to pull ahead. Maybe the flow rate isnt high enough?

    I wouldnt wait for PCIe 4.0, unless it's for some wicked fast SSDs. Graphics cards are restrained by their VRAM bandwidth far more than PCIe bandwidth, no need to worry about PCIe just yet.

    Jaqen got a reaction from Razerlob in How much can you oveerclock a 1080?   
    I don't have a founders edition but mine is a reference PCB under full cover water block in a loop with 240 rad, I have never been able to change the voltage (probably need to educate myself) but max the power slider and added 200mhz to core clock and run rock stable at 2053mhz never ever drops and sits at 55C max
     
    Was expecting to get higher but it seems it does run hot even under water and without tweaking voltage and max power limit in bios I wouldn't get any more out of it.
     
    Hope that gives you an idea
     
    P.S. if I adjust my memory clock at all I get stability issues straight away which is inconsistent with most 1080 owners

    An alternative would be buying an entry level HP Z2xx workstation or equivalent Dell Precision. The Quadro P600 will be quite quick in solidworks.

    You are in a world of pain with that plan I guess. To the best of my knowledge that will not be possible without a dedicated DAC/AMP for a lot of money.
     
    Stuff like this exists though:

    Sure you need surround? Just to say it: There literally is no good surround headphone under 1000€ on the marked. they all suck compared to a similar priced stereo headphone. (yep thats totally my mind about it after having a ton of headphones on my head that claimed to do surround well. secret: they don't, not even close.)

    Thank you that is useful info, If that holds true for my card (ordered for delivery thursday) then I will be very happy not be bothered with BIOS modding as I found it to be a pain with the 970.
     
    With Maxwell extra voltage was a waste of time and once water-cooled was totally pointless, I found stability was less of a concern above 1500mhz than getting the power usage down, I actually under volted my 970 to hit a higher stable clock speed! Had to increase max TDP from 180W to 225W but that yielded a rock solid 1543mhz core that literally never throttles. 
     
    Anyway I am babbling on, thank you again for the informative post, I was hoping to run into someone with reference pcb under ek blocks to talk to.

    No. You can mod the everliving shit out of Skyrim on a 780 (I have) and not dip below 60 fps. You need 4k textures along with a horribly optimized ENB to require more than 3gb in that game. It likes more RAM, but it shouldn't drop below 60fps if you mod it correctly.

    IMO you should go with something like the zotac gtx 1080 articstrom unless you are doing a custom loop or something like that. The waterblock on the zotac covers the full pcb including the vrms.

    Jaqen reacted to done12many2 in Water cooling reference gtx 1080   
    Both of my GTX 1080 FE cards can hold 2200 MHz with EK waterblocks depending on the load.  Valley and Heaven will hold 2200 MHz, but things like 3dMark Time Spy may cause them to vary to somewhere between 2170 to 2200.  Mine stay in the 30's (39c max).  Cooling is more important with Pascal then extra voltage / better power delivery.
     
    You're not going to find many examples of power limit increases or improved VRM's leading to higher overclocks with Pascal.

    Jaqen reacted to done12many2 in Water cooling reference gtx 1080   
    Expect a fast card.  FE cards overclock very well under water.  No need for the fancy power deliver solutions when overclocking with any type of ambient cooling.

    Had a similar issue with my 970's one card was 67% the other was 87% the 67% one always ran 5-10C hotter and also held back over clocking considerably. One had a max clock of 1583mhz the other higher ASIC card could hit 1630mhz on its own with SLI disabled

    I'm not sure about a beep or any kind of error code. Is there any way you could remove both cards while still connected to the loop and just put the top card in the bottom slot and support the bottom one somehow? That would allow you to at least test it to see what's going on.

    unfortunately I can't think of any other way of testing the card especially since you can't even remove it from the system completely to test it in another computer assuming that was even an option. 
     
    I think it might be worthwhile to drain the loop, but that's completely up to you.

    Reseat the card. If not try them one at a time in the bottom slot. It's also possible the slot on your motherboard has died. 
     
    However, I went through 5 670s. YES FIVE. It's very likely your card is dead.

    I own two palit jetstream 970's. No complaints at all. Solid build quality, they just don't spend loads on aesthetics like ASUS or gigabyte. Stock coolers were very effective but not the quietist (although in SLI in my rig they heated up much more than a single one would)

    Got my 970s up and running on my new rig.  I was pretty disillusioned with the TDP limitations on the 970FTW so I went ahead and flashed to a modded bios.  I'm getting some pretty decent overclocks out of them now, but it's still hitting up against the TDP limits and bouncing the core clocks under heavy stress during benchmark runs.  I can get them to hold 1586mhz without dropping core clock, anything above that though, and the core clock bounces around like a super ball.  The memory stays solid all the way from 3800 to 4005...  The core clock issue is pretty annoying though.  I'm seriously considering crossing over one or two of the shunts, to get some better power delivery.

    Anyway...was able to get some really solid benchmark scores with them.  3900+ in Valley (haven't broke 4k yet, still working on that), 20904 in Firestrike and 11209 in Firestrike Extreme.

    My cards are water cooled....max temps reached 39c during these runs with an ambient room temp of 25c.  My rig.  Still a work in progress, but it's getting closer to being finished.


    Firestrike high score:

    On a side note it is also true for many versions of the 970 that even if MSI AB and other OC utilities allow you to increase voltage in the software it often DOESN'T DO ANYTHING
     
    Also software OC'ing these cards without modding BIOS voltage table or atleast confirming that you can indeed increase voltage in AB is very ill advised.
     
    I will not go into explaining why as many of the people modding their own BIOS will already know why but if you don't and want an explanation follow the link in my above post
