they are 880M 8gb cards, they max out at 81C when on Watchdogs with all settings maxed other than Ambient Occlusion, running at 993mhz basically the whole time sometimes I see them down to 980mhz, always 89-98% usage on both cards, using MSI Afterburner to monitor GPU/CPU and RAM usage in game, like is in the signature its a Sager NP9377-S with the copper cooling upgrades and IC Diamond all around im sure this is helping alot with cooling as it really never goes past 80C and thats when I've been playing for at least an hour, I'm also using a Coolermaster 3 Fan base which by my simple tests does about 3-5C improvement on its own

I read through alot of this thread and decided to register and ask a question or two wondering if it might help anyone else who is lurking Im not sure if it was the update to watchdogs or my continual tweaking of the Nvidia Control panel or the Ubisoft Watchdogs update, I used to have the same throttling issues with Watchdogs but it seems now my cards are running 993mhz full time and staying around 70C, id be happy to do a benchmark but i dont have any GPU benching tools on this computer yet, i haven't OC'ed anything other than the CPU only as much as raising the multipliers and the voltage/wattage slightly to get better load times. Will loading this modded vBIOS do anything for me? Oh and im using the beta driver from Nvidia everyone seems to hate And kind of off topic but i figure this is a good place to get a response, can i change the RAM clock speed on this motherboard? it seems to be limited by the BIOS but mine isnt unlocked yet as i havent been bothered to try and get around it without knowing for sure i can get anything out of it
