We’re presently in the midst of researching clock reporting errors with Vega monitoring software, as they’re limiting our ability to adequately list overclock successes and failures. In the least, then, our “242% offset” has managed to get us another 70W of power to the core, which is enough to push the clock into competition with V64 overclocks. We’re still working on BIOS mods and powerplay table mods. We were gunning for 400W, but it’s just not happening right now. There’s reason for that, too – we’re now able to push peak power of about 370-380W through the card, up from our previous limitation of ~308W. This mod is our coolest-running hybrid mod yet, with large thanks to the 360mm radiator. Individual heatsinks were also added to hotter VRM components, leaving two sets unsinked, but cooled heavily with direct airflow. The liquid cooler helps, considering we attached a 360mm radiator, two Corsair 120mm maglev fans, a Noctua NF-F12 fan, and a fourth fan for VRM cooling.
It does, though, and so we’ve minimally managed to increase our overclocking headroom from the stock +50% offset. As exciting as it is to see “+242% power offset” in overclocking tools, it’s equally deflating to see that offset only partly work.
