Oooo nice addition Nate!

OCd everything!

Nice card!

Something I found with my Maxwell cards ...the memory has a point where it will OC fine but performance is worse....I found mine will run with +500 no problem but on some benches +400 or +450 will perform better so something to check out....

Like the BCLK overclocking...is that the stuff intel has tried to lock out in new BIOSes? I don't have one of those new chips so a bit out the loop on Skylake OCing

**Menthol** · 02-13-2016 12:20 PM

Nice going Nate, those clock speeds on a 980ti is better than most, unless you get higher speed memory or a better chip, you may have reached the limit of all your hardware, darn, now what do I do, there's super fast M.2 drives
Arne,
The BLCK overclocking Intel is stopping is for the non K chips, which a bios workaround allowed, Intel wants you to overclock only when you pay the price of admission

saWeeet. ++Nate. .c.

**Nate152** · 02-13-2016 02:47 PM

Thanks guys !

I was reading about some pins you solder together to unlock the voltage on the Matrix 980 Ti, can I do this or was I reading about the hotwire feature and need an extreme board to do it?

**Chino** · 02-13-2016 02:55 PM

Yes, the pins are on the back.

**Nate152** · 02-13-2016 05:09 PM

Thank you Chino

So all I need to do is solder two pins together?

I don't need to hot wire it to the motherboard or oc panel?

Will this void the warranty?

**Chino** · 02-13-2016 05:10 PM

That's correct.

Solder the correct pins, enable the LN2 vBIOS and you're good to go!

**Nate152** · 02-13-2016 05:16 PM

Thanks I'm looking into it.

**Nate152** · 02-13-2016 05:41 PM

Ok I found the LN2 pins but there are four of them which two get soldered together?

I would like to post a picture but it says upload failed, was having trouble posting pics late yesterday too.

Is anyone else having trouble posting pics today?
