Posted January 12, 2015 Currently got my GPU voltage at +80mV, should i reduce it as i have been having my system crash and my GPU crash? will this help with stabilising my overclock?

Posted January 12, 2015 No, taking the OC back a bit should help. +240MHz is quite a lot, so it may be worth taking it back until it's stable. OCs become unstable when they don't get enough power, they won't use extra power and crash if they don't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 12, 2015 No, reducing voltage will not reduce or remove crashing. Pull back on the overclock. "It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out." - Carl Sagan.

Most can do over 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 12, 2015 +240 is nothing for any maxwell card. Most can do over 300 I've seen several reference cards max out at around +170. Even if +240 is nothing, it does seem to be too much for his card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 12, 2015 Author It survived 2 tests of valley at 45mV no problem with temps not going above 74 degrees. Tried 250 at 50mv but PC restarts Current Rig: CPU: AMD 1950X @4Ghz.

Posted January 12, 2015 The voltage is usually not the issue with the GM204 GTX980 chip. And anyways just because you raise the slider up to +80mV doesn't mean the card does this. Your standard BIOS is locked. So you'd have to use a modded BIOS to get more than the lock. Most GTX980s won't OC more in the first place, given that cooling and power is sufficienlty given, because of their ASIC and TDP. I modded all 3 BIOS of my cards and the TDP raise made a big difference. Of course at a certain point you need to remove the lock of the voltage as well and remove the boost lock.
