Then some basic terminology/behavior of what’s going on with the GPU when you use those tools to overclock and overvolt the graphics card. First, let’s talk about some of the major components of NVIDIA VGA overclocking software controls. Anyone can do it with a little basic knowledge of some key terms and practice. There are also many different software tools available for adjusting voltages, fan limits, and clock speeds. The voltage regulation components on the card and overall design/layout are much more capable than reference designs. Overclocking VGA’s today is made easy through a design like EVGA 980 Ti KINGPIN or other similar custom card.

Having patience and doing things in small steps can work wonders in providing the best user experience while keeping your hardware safe and benching over and over again. Proceed with caution and at your own risk. Not only EVGA, but I think most vendors won’t warranty any hardware if it shows signs of being used and abused. Consider everything given below as “self-educational” and provided to assist in getting the most out of your shiny new KP card. Taking the time and effort to prepare the VGA properly for more extreme forms of cooling and knowing some of the basics of overclocking, can go a long way to give a better understanding of exactly what is going on when you overclock your VGA at any temperature. This includes not only card PCB preparation for extreme conditions, but having the right software tools + capable supporting hardware( PSU) and a stable platform to test on. Overclocking/overvoltaging your EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti KINGPIN graphics card on air, water, and LN2 temperatures can be fun and most of all pretty safe for the hardware, as long as it’s done correctly.
