I do have your 1.3v bios sitting in My Documents @Gofspar all ready to go.

But I've been working on to see what's the highest on stock I can go.

And that is it. 1583Mhz on the core.   Gearing up to go full 1.3v

This is the best stable OC I can get with my Gigabyte G1. And I've got Samsung memory :D

Voltages are still at Stock. No BIOS mods at all.

Core set to 1520Mhz GPU Boost 2.0 takes it up to 1583Mhz

Memory sitting at 8002Mhz.   That is the limit I have found. Anymore Core or Memory just wont work.

Firestrike score of 11298. Linked below.

 

 

 

 

And my Unigine Valley score

No way that's stable at stock voltage. Did you try it in games?

Hi.. I have the MSI GTX970 Gaming 4GB..

 

Without raising voltage I made +220 on core .. no overclock on memory (Hynix memory.. bad luck).. 

 

Do you guys think that if I put +87mV.. It will be a risk??.. could it help me overclock memory?

 

I have an MSI Mpower MAX AC Z97 mobo.. it has an extra PCI connector on the motherboard to stabilize the video cards...

 

Thanks

I've got my 4690k at 4.6Ghz & G1 Gaming set in Afterburner at 1520mhz which boosts to 1583mhz & memory set to 8000mhz.

Stable while doing Valley benchmark & 3D Mark Firestrike. Totally stable

Temps on CPU get up to 60-62c idles at 30c & on the GPU 52 MAX idles 28c

 

Games I have played while on those settings are.  Also those overclocks I leave 24/7

GTA V,  COD Modern Warfare 2, Witcher 3. Plays smooth with no stutters of drop outs..

I also play Dirt 3, F1 2015 & Assetto Corsa. But those don't tax the system as much as the others.

 

Afterburner settings.

My System. Not the best pic of it though.

Well I think I've hit the nail on the head, my GTX 970 G1 is extremely sensitive to the voltage supplied through the PCIe slot. Since moving it back to my P5Q Deluxe the crashes are more frequent, so hopefully my new motherboard for my i7 will help.

I only want a bios with increased power limit with my stock card voltage. Is there any way to do that? My graphic card is GTX 970 G1 Gaming from Gigabyte.

Thank you very much!

1.262v is the stock voltage. flash that one.

But MSI Afterburner, GPU-z and other monitoring software report 1.2180V and that should be the stock voltage?

Try shorting shunt resistor that's located above PCI-E slot, that might help.

+87 will just keep giving you driver display error, did for me, +220 on the core is good for an msi card, i can only get about +200, i too have hynix and its shite.

voltage scaling is completely dependent on silicon lottery, my 980 Classified scales nicely with voltage 1.262 to 1.3v is about 20mhz. whereas on my 970 1.212 to 1.3v did nothing.

1.262v is the stock voltage limit on the bios. 1.262v is the sweet spot for voltage on maxwell.

Thank you! There is no way to stay on 1.2180V and only increase TDP limit? Thanks very much.

has nvidia done something with the 970 in the latest update?

 

im asking because my Vram would normally cap out at 3500 or so MB but now its using the full 4GB is this because i started playing in 4K

Hi.. You have a rig almost like mine...

There is something rare happening... I have set +210 to core.. +25mv voltage...

I played almost 2 hours battlefield hardline on ultra with dsr (full hd x2) and it worked fine.. 0 artifacts...

But then I put 3d mark... It fails in the final test and some artifacts appeared during the rest...

What it could be? Any other way of testing?? I tried occt also.. Msi afterburner..

Do I keep these oc? Increase voltage or decrease oc?..

Thanks!!!

That's not crazy by any stretch of the imagination. I can get 1582 mhz on stock voltage and that's been stable gaming for about 2 months now.

Is there a chance that I might damage the motherboard?

I'll upload a picture of that specific shunt resistor later. BTW CLU is great for this task.
