thanks for the tip. will try pushing clocks with the fan on max then. however, ASUS DCU is best in class so it hovers around 60-62 under load currently with Auto fan. I'm still used to the previous generation - it was normal to see the cards go up to 90 with the reference blower fan.

it rarely reaches 115% for me too. I only saw that when I tried with 1.212V. Currently with a fixed 1.15V and with a clock in 1150-1200 range the power hovers between 100 and 110 with an average of 105. as an overclocker, I'm a bit frustrated that I can't use max voltage and check the clock limits that way as I don't think that a temp like 70 should be an issue for the GPU die.

On my GTX660ti it never reaches the maximum power limit either. It will throttle down too, However this is due to temps getting high. Are you sure it's not your temps causing you to throttle, this is very common.

Try to keep your temps in the low 60's or less, and see if that stops your throttling.
