Does anyone have any suggestions? My chip will WPrime 1024 at almost 5.2GHz so I figured it should be able to make it through Vantage around 5.1GHz. But then again, that's going to require a 243 BCLK and I've never taken this thing above ~225 without slow mode enabled.
Without slow mode i have managed to run some benches up to 238BCLK . Low temperatures help a bit .
I haven't tried 3D because it just doesn't worth it . Find a friend with a good 950/960(That can do over 5300 3d) or 980x and bench your VGA cards there .

What's your bench clocks with slow qpi ??? Did you manage to break 255BCLK wall ??
