Please re-read, mine is from SWEDEN, that's right, Sweden. Case closed. Also it was the best bang for the buck since it cost me absolutely nothing

My G1 was the cheapest I could buy at the time (the Windforce was the same price-completely wack I know) - and mines from Aus.

Australia is pretty cool, but it's no Sweden... My GPU has a story, and a life. It's an immigrant that has traveled across an ocean from a land I've never even seen. It journeyed to me, thanks to my very nice friend, so that I could beat up hookers and drive around with more graphical detail

That might be part of my problem, someone at Gigabyte had the retarded idea to place half of the vRAM modules on the back of the card with no cooling, unlike the others.

Yeah, might be worth looking into some little heatsinks that you can attach, try and keep them cool. Big design flaw if you ask me

Yeah, and it even has a backplate to prevent the airflow from cooling them and do this:

Found this pic on a blog, and the guy claims this is the way he got rid of artifacts. Usually people compliment backplate. It looks cool, but I wish I went with the MSI 970.

I wonder if it will help with overall stability (factory clock is a bit iffy-GSOD). What I could use the backplate after I remove it?

all cards are different, see where your card takes you.

G1 is the same card. Only differences are backplate, led logo and binned GPU.

 

EDIT: BTW you have to copy settings from other bios into your bios, otherwise it may not work.

open up stock bios and OP`s modified bios and copy values form one to another.

So I had a weird problem, my core was stuck at around 1100 mhz, voltage was also stuck and gpu load was @ 43% all the time. Then I reinstalled the drivers and it fixed the problem. Hmm...

Did this occur after flashing bios?

Um sorry but I have terrible things about the strix OCs :/

Sorry for quoting the old post, but at least it isn't like 3 months old. :P But yeah, all Strix 970s except the early ones with samsung memory like mine can overclock ok... Most with Samsung memory were given a bit of an advantage from the new ones with Hynix... Look at my Strix, I don't think they were meant to perform this well..

Is it possible that Samsung OCs better cause it's more heat tolerant/produces less heat? I've noticed the less I OC my Hynix memory the more time it takes for artifacts to start appearing, as if it overheats. I can't believe they left half the memory modules without a heatsink.

Pretty much.  I can push the memory to high amounts with Hynix memory, but as it gets hot it artifacts.

 

If you take off the backplate and put heatsinks/a fan over the memory, you could probably get great memory rates.

Given the single 6-pin setup, I assume nothing can be done in terms of overvoltage on a STRIX, but is there anything that can be done short of buying a new card?

Unless you're an electrical engineer, no.

Alright then, I'll have to settle for my current OC. Sitting at 1500MHz on the core, 7110MHz on the memory with 121% TDP usage at load. +37mV, 120% power limit, etc.

Only 37mV?  Have you flashed the bios at all to allow a higher voltage and power limit?

Nope, that's what I was asking with my original post.
