Now personally i would not advise going higher than the regulator circuit allows

2018-03-19 02:59:46 UTC  

I'm fully aware of that, going like 50mv over isn't even close to 8% over peak anyways

2018-03-19 03:00:19 UTC  

well i've had a r7 240 running at 1.4v (max the regulator will allow) for about a year now

2018-03-19 03:00:40 UTC  

What's the typical max voltage under load?

2018-03-19 03:00:56 UTC  

i think it was like .9v or 1v one of the two

2018-03-19 03:01:02 UTC  

lemme check the bios if i still have it

2018-03-19 03:01:50 UTC  

I douuuubbbt it

2018-03-19 03:02:06 UTC  

My GTX 760's will go up to 1200mV

2018-03-19 03:02:13 UTC  

Continuously as a max

2018-03-19 03:02:30 UTC  

Never heard of a max under like 1100mv

2018-03-19 03:02:36 UTC  

nevermind

2018-03-19 03:02:44 UTC  

ok its 1.15v max

2018-03-19 03:02:53 UTC  

it just usually runs around .9

2018-03-19 03:03:11 UTC  

Yeah, but you wanna measure max so you know your peak after the increase

2018-03-19 03:03:30 UTC  

That's like 21% higher then

2018-03-19 03:04:09 UTC  

i mean its the max the card can physically do without physically modifying it

2018-03-19 03:04:21 UTC  

How much benefit do you actually get out of that extra .25v though? What's the max freq for no-voltage OC versus that 1.4v?

2018-03-19 03:04:32 UTC  

Stable ofc

2018-03-19 03:05:27 UTC  

no voltage OC is +300mhz, 1.3v gets +780mhz, but i keep it at 1.4v because i want to see when itll die since its a cheap card

2018-03-19 03:05:50 UTC  

And you game with that +780 no issues?

2018-03-19 03:05:52 UTC  

the card runs at 780mhz max without overclock

2018-03-19 03:05:54 UTC  

yeah

2018-03-19 03:06:03 UTC  

though im not personally using the card anymore

2018-03-19 03:06:15 UTC  

And there's no freq difference between 1.3 and 1.4?

2018-03-19 03:06:16 UTC  

still, its in my household getting used daily (lmfao fallout 4)

2018-03-19 03:06:19 UTC  

correct

2018-03-19 03:06:45 UTC  

if there is, its too small for me to care to measure

2018-03-19 03:06:55 UTC  

What's the cards total frequency?

2018-03-19 03:06:59 UTC  

Before oc

2018-03-19 03:07:24 UTC  

730, 780 when it goes into the manufacturer's boost clock

2018-03-19 03:07:47 UTC  

oh yeah i forgot to mention 1.3v helps with memory overclocking a bit but its not by much

2018-03-19 03:08:04 UTC  

the card doesnt memory OC very well anyways

2018-03-19 03:09:33 UTC  

There's a 45% difference in frequency for that 21% increase in voltage. I mean, I won't believe that until I see it, because you get less return in a sloped path, the higher the voltage gets.

2018-03-19 03:09:47 UTC  

how do you want me to prove it?

2018-03-19 03:09:53 UTC  

if it matters to you enough, that is

2018-03-19 03:09:57 UTC  

Also you're like doubling the frequency, it has to perform at least 50% better

2018-03-19 03:09:59 UTC  

however take note

2018-03-19 03:10:01 UTC  

A video I guess

2018-03-19 03:10:06 UTC  

it overclocks high at stock voltage

2018-03-19 03:10:15 UTC  

What's the OC at stock voltage?

2018-03-19 03:10:18 UTC  

The 300
