I know mate i am the same. That is why i posted this up haha. I had 4 sets of pads. 2 had been pre-cut for the memory and 2 uncut for the VRM area. The pre-cut pads are very thin compared to the others. Does the memory usually have the thicker pads?
I was wondering if a few Ti owners could check and see if their gpu was hitting the voltage limit @ stock on load in afterburner?
What is the voltage limit even? That seems to vary depending on clocks. If there is one it's probably not possible to hit it before max TDP.
Clocks are @ stock 1189Mhz. The card is watercooled with a full block so temps are low ie under 40c. Even if I add voltage it is still showing as hitting the voltage limit.

Same results as me. I am wondering if it's a error with afterburner? A few other owners have also noticed the same. Thank you for checking.
As far as I can tell none of the usual utilities are reading the actual voltage on the GTX 980 Ti. I read a post a few weeks ago someone on the overclock.net 980Ti thread used a multimeter to read the voltage directly from the power leads running to the GPU. MSI Afterburner was showing 1.19v and his voltmeter was reading 1.25v. http://www.overclock.net/t/1558645/official-nvidia-gtx-980-ti-owners-club Not to mention MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision X, ect... can't modify the voltage on these cards. I tried setting +87mv on mine and it didn't change the voltage at all. My cards will hit ~1478Mhz on stock voltage so I'm perfectly happy with that. One of my cards actually can hit 1514Mhz on stock voltage but the other card can't handle it and hard locks. So went with slightly lower clock speeds.
That's weird. +115/+350 is unstable for me but when I add +40mv in MSI AB it's rock solid. It also has an effect on the voltage reading I'm getting 1.224 as opposed to 1.199. So maybe it's working for some and not others?
might be a different voltage controller on some of the cards?? With mine setting a voltage offset does nothing at all.
I'm sure I know the answer to this.... but just to make sure.... there are no problems with running an EVGA SC+ with an EVGA Classified in SLI, right? Not saying I could even get a Classified (supply situation is... lol), but if the opportunity were to arise, I'd love to test one out.
Why would you want to? You couldn't overclock the SC+ as far, unless you plan of using a custom BIOS.
Youd just have to OC each card seperately, or give them custom bios to give them same base clock - but if that was done, then there wouldnt be any issues doing it
Why are you not sure how it relates? You state the sc+ will never even come close and you are a even guessing on the classified. He is already at 1530+ how much more do you actually expect?
