That would be the easiest thing to do.

 

Only took 6 day to complete the RMA process:

6 Days not bad.

 

Thanks guys for the info

I like this idea ... . But i have to take apart 80% of my WC setup to do it ahahah. :nerd:

 

This is awesome! Now I'm just waiting for the new Hybrid kit or full water block.

Very very nice , i'm happy for you :thumbup: , glad to see you did not get a dud and this new one is clocking nicely !

 

Yeah, $100+ to win the damned silicon lottery, lmao....

 

@DeathAngel74 better OC than previous samsung??

 

nope, better overclock over previous Micron....You jinxed me, lol.
+495MHz now on 378.77 driver, compared to previous +415MHz on 378.57 driver
eVGA bios is 86.04.50.00.70, same as original sc bios with Micron fix, before the fan curve fix(86.04.50.00.72).

 

What's odd is that when raising the voltage on afterburner from 0 to 100 there is no affect on stability. Not even a little. If anything it becomes less stable when raising it. Other 1070 users on have reported the same. :3eyes:

 

All the chips behave different , some like voltage and can take it with good cooling , others do not like voltage increase at all :/ , it's the silicon lottery at play here.

 

I had to switch from pxoc to afterburner+378.49 to gain stability. Looks like I didn't win the lottery after all...2075-->2062mhz - core/4498(8996mhz) - memory/1.081-1.093v. Now here comes the good part. I can now play my games @1440p/AF x16 @ 100-13x FPS with fast sync+triple buffering/DSR 1.78.

Edit:
Async fans didn't work with Afterburner...Back to PXOC since only one fan worked with AB.

 

I've read somewhere that going from 0 to 100 only increases the voltage so little that it doesn't make much of a difference.

So there's no more headroom? I used to have a gigabyte 970 mini itx and after modifying the bios, disabling boost, tweaking the TDP and setting a more aggressive fan curve I got it all the way up to 1360mhz on the core(stock was 1076 and without these adjustments I was only able to hit 1160mhz). I think what we need is a pascal bios tweaker.

 

The increase in voltage on my video card pushing the voltage slider to 100% it's only 0.043v ( Stock is 1.050v - slider to 100% reach max 1.093v ) , so indeed it is a handy cap specially if the video card is under water cooling :/ too many obstacles and gimping within the Bios / Hardware and Drivers to push this cards higher.

Here is a lot of good information: http://www.overclock.net/t/1601546/official-nvidia-gtx-1070-owners-club

 

You got a good deal, I had to pay about $476 for my EVGA SC 1070 8gb that support VR.

 

Wow that's crazy. Bought mine from some guy on ebay. Brand new in the box. It's actually the black edition of the card. I couldn't be happier with it. Really nice jump from my 970. Only oc'd it a bit so far. Crushes everything I throw at it, granted it's 1080p. Although I do use dsr for some 2k and 4k stuff. I'm a happy camper. I'll post some scores later tomorrow.

 

I upgraded from a Asus R9 280 3gb and i'm impressed with my EVGA SC 1070 and It runs great with my i5 4690k that I have overclocked to 3.9Ghz on liquid cooling. my 1070 runs cooler then my Asus R9 280 3gb cu2 and I can monitor the temps with my 1070 unlike my Asus card.

Evga seems to have really bumped up the quality of their cards after the earlier poor cooler design. The SC2 could be one of the best 1070s out there, esp with the revised cooler:

my EVGA SC GTX 1070 8gb is a champ and the temps never reach 60 Celsius and handles all my games without a hitch.
