Nvidia Voltage Limit! Stop Killing me!
Running my EVGA GTX 1080 Classified at 2300 MHZ @ 1.2 volts
When I lower the voltage, down towards stock limit, overclocked software crashes!
-This PROVES our PASCAL cards are voltage starved!
-No BIOS editors for Pascal exist
vote if you think Nvidia could unlock BIOS voltage.
Perhaps even by offering an 'Enhanced Tuning Plan' on 'unlocked GPU's?
(Similar to Intel's new 'Tuning Protection Plan' for K series unlocked processors).
Here's an example of Intel's optional CPU plan: (maybe something similar adapted for GPU's)
What is the Performance Tuning Protection Plan? ?
The Performance Tuning Protection Plan is an additional plan that a customer can purchase to cover processor failures caused by operating the eligible processor outside of Intel’s published specifications.
Why is Intel offering the Performance Tuning Protection Plan?
Intel has received feedback from customers who want to implement overclocking on eligible processors, but because of the lack of any replacement coverage for the eligible processors, the risk of overclocking is too great. We understand this position, and while we cannot endorse overclocking, we want to provide a limited remedy if issues arise as a result of their decision to enable overclocking. The limited remedy consists of a replacement processor (i.e., replacing the processor damaged solely as a result of the overclocking).
This would enable us to reach the full potential of our hardware WITHOUT the need, to go near it with a soldering iron!

GPU's are more than just the chip, they're an entire card!
-So how do we amend the intel plan to make it work for GPU's?
-So both over-clocker & manufacturer, both benefit?

(I hacked beyond nvidia BIOS limit of 1.093v to achieve faster clock).

- Reference designs could remain as-is (with limited voltage control / overclocking, exactly as they are currently.
- Bigger cards, could be fully unlocked giving us the same control we already enjoy with our CPU's.
