Today we are going to test the latest ASUS GTX 980 STRIX GPU and show you guys how to prepare it for extreme overclocking.
first of all we need to Vmod the card ( GPU,Memory, PLL), Nvidia cards by default bios are locked to 1.21V so we need some BIOS and tools to modify this parameters.
in link blow you can download everything you need for Vgpu, vpll,vmem also there is new Nvflash to flash new BIOS.
DISCLAIMER THIS GUIDE IS WRITTEN TO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. DOING THIS MOD WILL VOID YOU WARRANTY AND COULD POSSIBLY DESTROY YOUR CARD. THIS WAS WRITTEN TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND AS A GUIDE TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR OWN ADVENTURES INTO UNLOCKING VOLTAGE.
Lets start to test some DDR4 G.SKILL memory here, i got the 3000 16GB kit Single ranked MFR. The new X99 platform overclocking is way different than old once, that why i found it very very funny to play, i wanted to prepare a DDR4 guide but NO NEED since this guide is just more than complete.
G.SKILL DDR4 X99 Platfrom vs Versus DDR3 X79 platform
#7
Hi Guys I decided to make an article to compare the latest DDR4 versus DDR3 quad-channel memory. Let’s start with the facts
In this review we're going to have a closer look at what performance level G.SKILL is capable of offering with their DDR4 3000C15 16GB Memory kit. As you might already know this kit consists of four DDR4 modules. Each module is single sided and there are MFR chips from Hynix. So far so good … but what damage can these sticks do on the new X99 platform?
As you can see we’re using Intel’s latest i7 5960X CPU, that features 8 cores and 16 threads. Compared to the predecessor there is also 5 MB of additional L3 cache. You should also keep in mind, that the 4960X only features 6 cores and 12 threads. To thoroughly test DDR4 memory we fix the CPU frequency on both setups to 3500MHz. In the case of the i7-4960X CPU we know that the sample is not capable of running more than 2666MHz due to IMC (integrate Memory controller) limitations. The new generation can easily be driven above 3300 MHz, which means we have to use different memory dividers on the different systems.
That’s enough talking for now let’s start with pictures and Benchmarks.
