I put liquid metal on as soon as I got the card, so that´s definetly not the Problem. That was 4 Days ago. As I pointed out the only change was the higher voltage due to the higher Base clock of the OC BIOS. And as I can see with the frequenzy curve that Afterburners OC Scanner puts out with the 200W OC Bios I should be stable at 1506 MHz with only 700 mV compared to the Standard Strix BIOS at around 720 mV. So my Point is, if there would be a way to modify a BIOS so that it would go up to 200W max wattage, but had a Baseclock of 1506 instead of 1632/3 it would run cooler even though it can take more wattage when it is under load, since it has more power headroom then.

That is pretty much the result when I browsed through there. There were some that had a 1532 Base and 200W allowed, but with those either MSI the Card would go dead or Gigabyte the Fans started acting really uncontrollably. So maybe someone has a BIOS like that that would enable this otherwise I guess I´ll have to mod something myself.

Hey, well it better be near perfect, since I was an exchange student in 2016/17. Would be sad when you were once even thinking english and now you´d lose the ability to write or speak the language :-) Yes I understand that, but I don´t understand, why I wouldn´t be able to have a 200W BIOS, as on the Strix OC version of the 1070 with the lower Baseclock of the standard Strix version. As on the lower Baseclock my temperatures at idle are better, but under load it´s obviously a lower clock as well as it only allows 170W. To my knowledge the coolers on both Strix cards are equivalent, so I don´t see why there couldn´t be a mixture of both. lower Baseclock but higher allowed Wattage.

Hello Everyone! So besides introducing myself as a new Member of the Forum I've came up with some questions that came up during the day. I'm from Germany and for the Fall or Spring season german woman have something special called a "Übergangsjacke". It's quite the meme as it a jacket, but it's not useful at all for actually cold weather. It's kinda just for the transition between that actually shouldn't exist, but I'm getting of topic. So I sold my 2080 as probably a lot of people did or tried to do and suddenly I'm sitting here with no gpu at all. Obviously something I cannot have happen upon me so I run up on ebay and get myself a GTX 1070 Strix as mx Übergangsjacke. As I've ordered a 3080 and as you might guess it's not here yet. So now today I've had decided to get cracking at it and of course the first free upgrade to my used but "never overclocked" GPU was the Strix OC BIOS. Because I thought, well why wouldn't I. It's 30 more Watts power draw but hey also about 130 more base clock and better boost clock of course. But then I've started noticing, that my already loved 1070 didn't behave like the old self bevor the flash. Instead of sitting at around 720 mV while "idle/watching YouTube and or my college lectures that are now all online (*puke*) it was now almost constantly drawing at least 850mV. After some short while I realized that, while the clocks were of course higher and more stable due to more power headroom the card just wouldn't cool down as far as it did before. I've got the fancurve in MSI afterburner set, so that before it would sometimes switch off the fans for minutes at a time and then only when the 50° threshold is reached start up the fans again for about a minute or 2. Well this now didn't happen anymore. It almost never reached a Temperatur below 53° anymore, so I've started to investigate some more. To some it might be obvious, but to me it wasn't at first. So due to the Base clock being the absolut bottom line when the card is in slight use it would always stay at 850mV and 1632mHz clock. Which is the Base of the Strix BIOS. The other one had 1506mHz as Base so it could go a little softer with only 720mV. So now I'm kinda in between a rock and a hard place. As most I'm currently doing is college stuff I want my pc to be quite as I have to use it constantly, but not for any heavy work. But on the other side I want to have some fun overclocking the card as it doesn't have a warranty anyways and I'd gotten a pretty good deal on it. So dose anyone know a BIOS that is compatible that doesn't have an increased Base clock or even an underclocked one and still has the power limit higher than the 170w my non OC BIOS allows me. Maybe there is even a Tool to Edit the Pascal BIOS. I couldn't find one online, but I didn't search for long either. So now all I've left to say is Stay Healthy, Stay at Home and don't drop the new GPU you just took out of your oven for fun. Greetings from Germany MDeRke
