ASUS doesn't allow you to overvolt on a card that has beefed up VRMs and their custom cooling solution

. Although, I'm hitting 60FPS with all my mods and ENB settings on Skyrim at 1125 on the core, so I'm content.

There must be a way to adjust the voltage on this thing. Can anyone help with this?

I'll bet it's nice and quiet, though.

Did you try the Asus software? TweakIT or something like that?
I'm assuming afterburner and precision didn't work for you.
