just wanted to brag too got 10380 on firestrike!

CPU was clocked at 4.3ghz
Overclocked my 760's by 153mhz
Ram was on XMP profile 2 (2400mhz CAS 9)

For those wondering (if you saw my thread in the memory section), my memory dump issues seem to have been fixed by updating my bios. (It was at 1.1 and the latest was 1.4... lol)



Now for my question. In EVGA precision I can't change voltage but I can change temperature and power offset, what exactly does that do? Could somebody please educate me on that?

throttling is when the cpu or gpu doesn't hold its core frequency steady. normally your 760 will just run at 1250mhz all the time, or whatever you have it overclocked to. if its throttling, it will fluctuate the core clock lower. instead of running at 100% all the time it runs at 75% speed, 67%, 85% 100%, 90% etc and does this on the fly changing very quickly. think of it as the gas pedal in your car. your card will only throttle itself if it senses it is getting too hot or its reaching its peak tdp wattage. it will also throttle down when your not gaming, but this is different as it is entering a different power state.

you need to use a monitoring/overclocking program to monitor your core clocks to see if they are throttling...

you need to use a monitoring/overclocking program to monitor your core clocks to see if they are throttling from an overclock or some other issue. sometimes a bad driver installation or driver conflicts can cause a card to throttle.

you should ditch evga precision and just use msi afterburner, its a better overclocking program.
