5070 Ti power limit questions

Mystic1978 said:
I only use a custom curve when I want to lower voltages while keeping higher clocks ( vs stock ) and have cooler temps, more power-efficient profile. For benchmarks, I set voltage to 100%, power limit to 133% with the 400W BIOS, core at +400, and memory at +3000 in MSI Afterburner.

Here is one of my custom curve profiles ( very efficient, but not for benchmarking, just for gaming ) :
2900Mhz core + 3000 memos @850mv

i had to bump up the voltage on mine, it seems 850mv wasnt stable enough, so I did 900mv, 2900Mhz, +3000Mhz mem, power limit 133% / 400w
I got a furmark of ~9300/157fps and a 3dmark steel nomad of 7331
gpu temps during testing 71C

EDIT: did it again with your benchmark settings but 350 core, and I got steel nomad of 7761 "Legendary" :)

Given the problem with the melting 12v connector, could 400w be a bad idea? How can we check the vrm, and other components can withstand 400w on cards not marketed as such?

Exactly, igor's lab has used flir camera to detect pretty normal backplate temperatures but very high pcb temps around vrms and gpu indicating potential future problems using these graphic cards.
He even modded putting thermal putty on the backside pcb under backplate and lowered temps.

There should be absolutely no problem with the 12V 2x6 connector at up to 400W.
 
I have a msi ventus oc 3x 5070ti....is there any bios I could flash to increase the power limit? Currently it is at 100%.
 
try msi vanguard 350w, its here in bios database... i sucessfully flashed my gaming...
 
just in case anyone is interested.
I settled on the following setup (for the time being)
400W, but limited to 350W +2000Mhz memory clock
935mV@3050Mhz running at 60C on the steel nomad test
score of 7528
