Been a while since this has been discussed. We know the slot is rated 75w. We know some slot powered cards can exceed that from time to time. I'm about to run some OC experiments on some cheap older hardware and I'd like to know what are the "tolerances" assuming a modern clean PSU and a high end motherboard. Example, do you think 100w will damage the traces on the card or the slot? Assume excellent cooling like cold water and lots of fans blowing cold air. I had a few motherboards in the past that had supplemental power connectors for slots but I no longer have them now. Anyone besides wiz experimented on stuff like that?
The next card in the test lineup is a quadro m2000 that looks like it needs a healthy dose of bios and perhaps driver foolery since it is soft locked (like afterburner) to prevent overclocking.
Last month I pushed a W4100 to about +100% overclock (bios tweak) and it's been folding for a month. I'm not sure that it even hits 75w with the 1200MHz OC and 1225mV. It's under water and on a cheap B450 board. Did the same with W2100 a month before that but that card is even weaker power draw. I'd love to push a few of these Maxwell cards.
