Overclock

[Powell]

Hi,

 

Im looking for someone to help me work out a problem with my setuo, someone who can guide me through some process of elimination.

 

I have a 2080ti that won't overclock at all.

 

Partslist:

•Gigabyte aorus waterforce 2080ti

•Gigabyte aorus waterforce z390

•Intel i9900k

•G skill trident 3600mhz

•gigabyte m.2 2tb

 

Software:

•Windows 10 

•Gigabyte fusion and manager

•mis afterburner

 

 

So this is the deal, whenever I try to use msi, next, evga and gigabyte software to overclock I have an issue. If i adjust any settings ie power or clock even fan speed my pc freezes goes full white screen and has to be re booted. 

 

I have tried uninstalling each program and re installing, I've tried uninstalling all programs except for one and i have also tried uninstalling all drives and associated software like rgb fusion. ( my GPU has no rgb and gigabytes rgb fusion doesnt even recognise it)

When just running normally it plays games and operates really when. I have amazing temps on both my GPU and CPU and decent benchmarks and FPS.

 

Please help as the supplier just says return the GPU for testing. This feels to me like a software issue and i dont look forward to two weeks or more using my xbox.

 

 

Thank you,

Does it max out at 1350MHz at stock settings under full load?

I cant be 100% sure as im at work and i dont have any results handy but i know its set at 1350 and i think that it does stay around that clock at full load in Heaven. 100% load on gpu for multiple minutes and its only 38°c if temp is relevant.

the bios needs a reflash, backup the current one first, download the bios for your model from techpowerup and flash it in.

Jurrunio i will do this tomorrow after work, thanks heaps i will let you know how i go.

 

Do you think this may help with the rgb not working also? Its not really my priority but it would be nice.

Hey man, did you mean the g p u bios because I checked and its running the latest version. Btw both the mb and vga are brand new this year so have latest bios.

GPU BIOS. I'm not asking you to reflash because it got outdated or something, but because some cards just don't clock above 1350MHz without a BIOS reflash, even if it's the same BIOS. Could be a bug in the write process, but regardless a reflash tends to solve this.

Ok thank you, I'll do it and see how it goes.

So I just run heaven benchmark, the gigabyte software is all uninstalled and msi afterburner. So i should have a base clock of 1350 and max clock of 1770 as per aorus engine standard settings. 

 

Heaven is saying im running 2205 cLock. Re installed aorus engine to check the settings are all on standard which they are. Heaven still stated 2205 clock. 

 

Still no RGB.

 

Attempting to flash bios now.

That's normal, GPU boost 4.0 (or even older versions on older cards) means the GPU will always exceed marketed boost speed. That said you should read clock speeds from Afterburner (with newer skin it will actively show the current core and memory clock)
