Hi all, first post here :)
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5569801?

Im overclocking this card and i hit the roof on 1525mhz core and 8000 mhz memory(hynix). Temps are perfectly fine gaming and testing highest temp was 69c and fans are really quiet. Almoust cant hear them aat 54% rpm 99% load. But my powerlimit is bottlenecking me tdp is already at 113% peak when the max you can set for this card is 110% Is there any program or bios which only let me increase the powerlimit, lets says to 120%?

Also not saying this is a good idea, considering you've got a higher stable OC, but here's a link to a guide.

That seems a bit too risky and complicated for me. I quess there's no way getting more power without bio flash? Dont wanna risk the card for hobby im rather new to. I like to tweak and see if 1600mhz core is possible. Temps are so good and the card really is silent. I also have few extra cooler fans for case i can use for extra gpu cooling.
 


AFAIK if you really want to break the limit you need to use modded BIOS which will void the warranty. it is well known nvidia purposely limiting their card preventing the clock to get higher. nvidia have this policy since kepler generation. the reason being they don't want their card to die early because of extreme OC and somehow it will affect their reputation. but if you ask me they have another reason doing it. business reason.
