Thanks for the advice, but been there done that since before it was released (have had my review done for weeks...). MSI needs to fix the bios I have, that the public will have. This is a problem on their side with the LN2 bios and excessive power use (not actual power use as the killawatt doesnt show a change, but what MSI AB reads, which causes it to show such high power use and throttle).
Im guessing those reviews didnt bother to use the LN2 bios to overclock.. A LOT of review that have been published already really missed some things with this card...I dont think anyone used the LN2 bios to overclock. I havent been on the 'default' (non LN2) bios in weeks, but IIRC, it gave you +37mv which should be in the area of 1.19-1.20v if stock voltage is 1.16 like mine.
