Sorry to hear about your dead card Mike
Maybe the card had a bad VRM power stage chip for the vMem or PEX rail, that let too much volts through.
I'm trying to find a stable OC with my Samsung memory 2080 Ti FTW3. Really hoping I can get 2100Mhz stable but it's looking like a battle. I have +1000 on the memory but I haven't determined whether that's affecting a stable GPU clock speed yet.
Best way to find where you stand is to find the max OC of core and memory independent of each other first. So find max core OC with no mem adjustment at all, then do the opposite.
After finding what the core and memory can do by themselves it's time to blend them together. You don't too often have to give up much from either to find that happy place.
Well I have zero info on what an air cooled gpu will do. When I buy a new gpu I run Firestrike to see it works then on goes the block. I have literally never run a gpu on air for more than a day or two.
I can do +1000 on mem and have run core up to 2205 mhz. Thats probably around +180 - +190 I think.
I am running the Galax 380 Watt bios since day one as well.
I didn't know you were water cooled. What block do you have?
I'm considering going down the water cooled road as well, have been a couple summers with big air cooled GPU's now. I'm just waiting for my damn Asus ultrawide monitor to get back to me so I can get a proper feel for the 2080 Ti and it's temps with it. They sent me my Asus monitor earlier this week but the stand was broken so back it went. It's going on a month being without it now.
