Gtx 780 Safe voltages?

[Wano97]

So apparently the new EVGA precision X allows me to go even higher with voltage offsets, so what's the maximum safest voltage I could aim for? The locked down one was +63 mV

you should be looking at your temperatures, if they are fine, the voltage is also fine

Are you sure? I mean, I know that too high voltages can just kill the card no matter how low the temps are.

Crank it up all the way, the reference bios doesn't allow you to do dangerous amounts of voltage, people run them at 1.3v 24/7 so 1.262 should be fine

how much can you go higher now ? i want to push mine higher but i cant because of Asus -,- currently on 1.3v but it goes down to 1.25v when loaded.. but it should be safe as long as your temps are fine. on water people have been pushing much more on the 780 Owners club.

Wanted to ask what you get in 3dMark with your Build ?

Lemme try, hold on.

 

@clementk Can't get 3dmark installed right now some reason.

flash a custom bios, problem solved

i have custom bios thats why i can go higher then 1.212+ but with Asus you need to "Hotwire" to get more out of it.

Maybe it's just the classy versions then. I flashed the skyn3t bios to my card, and then with a 3rd party app I was able to increase the voltage all the way up to 1.6v. I only went up to 1.45v on my card though. 

 

Anything higher than 1.45v and my PSU shuts my computer off. I believe the mobo just can't get adequate power to the GPU. Before I plugged in the auxiliary PCI-e power connector, I was only able to go up to 1.35 vcore without the system shutting off. Hopefully next month when I swap my mobo out for the Asus Maximus V, I'll be able to go back and run some more benchmarks. It's always fun pushing the cards to their limit.

. Unfortunately it's not that I have skyn3t bios to. The problem is one. It's not a 780ti.and it's Asus direct cu2 that has hardware limits. They said it helps with ln2 over clocking but it's a hardware mod to fix it....
