GTX 1080 FE overclock

[devilsadvocate]

Ok so right now i have the power limit set to the max 217, and im running it with a evga hybrid all in one water cooler block..  its running at 39 degrees celcius and still I am only getting around 370kH/s

any ideas?

Overclock with nvidia-settings commands:

Code:

nvidia-settings -a GPUPowerMizerMode=1 --ctrl-display=:0
nvidia-settings -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=200 --ctrl-display=:0
nvidia-settings -a GPUFanControlState=1 --ctrl-display=:0

The above example sets the clock to +200 Mhz faster than the factory clock.  Also, the fan control state can be controlled by hashcat with --gpu-temp-retain.  Manual control of the fan isn't strictly necessary, which makes that bottom line optional.

In order to reset, you might need to do this:

Code:

nvidia-settings -a GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=0 --ctrl-display=:0
nvidia-settings -a GPUPowerMizerMode=0 --ctrl-display=:0
nvidia-settings -a GPUFanControlState=0 --ctrl-display=:0

You might need to do this first, before the above.

Code:

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak

nvidia-xconfig -s -a --force-generate --allow-empty-initial-configuration \
   --cool-bits=12 --registry-dwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" \
   --no-sli --connected-monitor="DFP-0" -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf

sed -i '/Driver/a     Option         "Interactive" "False"' /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Cool bits needs the proper settings.  You might need to reboot after you set this.
