Marcus and I did a bit of testing this weekend with the new offering from ASUS. We had lots of problems as there usually are when benching new hardware and we're not completely satisfied with the outcome. But then again we're comparing to the crazy results from Shamino We had a good run at 1350/1225 which would've landed way north of 42K but of course it crashed in the CPU test. This was our best result in the end:



Highest single gpu in Vantage but we figure it won't last long

We did the voltage modification for the GPU a bit differently than Peter with VIDs. This way droop compensation and other stuff works as intended while it's a lot faster to mod In 2D the voltage will be 1.36v and in 3D roughly 1.4v. Then you can use software to increase voltage as far as 1.6v (ASUS Smart Doctor or Nvidia Inspector for example).

At voltages higher than 1.5v we had some OCP issues even with the mod from Peter which got us a bit confused. We figured out that the issue was per phase OCP and have included the mod to disable that as well.
