Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah some cards do not like the extra voltage, I have seen this.

And yes the fan ramping is obviously not effected by the min/max as I have stated. I have bashed my head trying to figure out the ramping, There has to be a value in the bios that
effects this, I just have not found it yet I'll keep trying.

With the bios tweaking we are doing I would say we are getting to the point where Liquid Cooling may now be justifiable for these cards. Perhaps some LC company may send me a block for my card
