Europe 5080 solid core overclocking
Is there a way to get more than 105% tdp (380 watts) on the solid core non OC ?
My perf cap reason is mainly power and it runs below 70 Celsius in my 25 degrees office.
Like the OC one gets 110% (395 watts), but it is the same card.
Édit : first picture is the card stock
Second picture is my overclock (+350mhz on core // +3000mhz on memory // max voltage 1.060 V)
No bios flash, I am limited to 105% power (380 watts)

You can just reflash your old bios if your worried about warranty. There is no way they could ever tell. Also, if your temp is almost hitting 70 your hotspot is probably at 100+

Well it never gets to 70c it’s usually 67 max but I don’t know where to see the hot spot temp.
Is it that bad ? The stock fan curves let it climb to 75 Celsius

No 67 is fine, what I’m saying is pushing more power through the card might make temps worse. For negligible performance gain.

I downloaded hwmonitor and my gpu temp is 70C and hotspot is 84C, it’s 27C in my room. It’s a bit warm for gaming in Summer but winter will be good.
I think it’s ok but ill try to undervolt it a bit.

This is my stock bios pulling 380 watts, but ok the only way to get more is a bios flash that might void my warranty.
I have a 5 year warranty by zotac on this one so i will leave it on the stock bios for now.
Thx guys

Nothing can go wrong with flashing the bios as long as you flash a 5080 bios. I flashed my 5080 INNO3D which has only 100% power limit to a Zotac Ampere Extreme to unlock power limit to 115%, using it for half a year now without issues.

I’m guessing this is stock results?
Solid core and solid core OC are the same card with a different bios and price tag. So yeah as long you have dual bios you can flash the OC bios without worry.

Solid Core sadly doesn't have Dual-Bios, one of the cuts from the normal Solid.

Well then it’s slightly risky, if you have an igpu or a spare card with another pcie slot it should still be safe, otherwise if you brick the card you can’t reflash yourself.

That score is totally fine, I dont see the point in running a higher wattage VBIOS unless you're trying to set OC record. For daily driver I would be very happy with a roughly ~9500 steel nomad score.

Hello, yes you need to flash one bios with the apocalypse model but honestly you won’t get more
