Let me know if you have any questions
the newest AB edition is missing it, but that's fine.
test with a 3DMark 11 and Unigine Heaven/Valley to check performance.
afterburner can give you the highest values, though Valley usually improves steadily, so keep an eye on temperatures...
the CPU will be more challenging here, as it isn't unlocked.
beyond 100 MHz bclk is the only option, but this is typically used to squeeze out the final few MHz when a higher multiplier is needed, not for your everyday stable setup.
it impacts all other clocks too (not just limited to) such as RAM, PCI bus, GPU etc (which isn't ideal for the whole system).
also, the board might lack sufficient BIOS features or could struggle to provide enough power, possibly even exceeding voltage ratings...
depending...
the nv gpus oc work easily and safely:
dl afterburner and install without needing a stat server.
reboot, adjust settings to use the default v3 skin.
remove the power/temp sliders and focus on temps, then apply.
set both sliders to their maximum values; the card will reach its highest possible time (within nv limits).apply.
save this configuration in one of the profiles on the left side.
if you prefer, afterburner should not start with windows and automatically apply oc.
the card will still complete timing even when not gaming...
do not add voltage, as the cards will only exceed stock V by a small margin.
did you select v3 or v2?
is it the newest AB v4.3?
im using it since the gtx700 series...
there is a small triangle on the right which lets you expand power area to show power limit and temp limit.
uncheck the box saying "link", apply, priority to temp, apply, both slider to max, apply.

I see this, I clicked the link and pressed apply... no priority assigned.
the newest AB version is missing it now, that's fine.

afterburner can help retrieve the highest values, but valley usually improves steadily, so keep an eye on temperatures...

exceeding 100 MHz bclk is the only option, though this is typically used to push out the final few MHz when a higher multiplier is needed, rather than for everyday stable operation.
it impacts all other clocks including ram/pci bus/gpu etc (which isn't ideal for the entire system).
additionally, the board may lack sufficient bios features or might not provide enough power, possibly causing excessive vrms.
depending on your temperatures, consider buying an AIO from arctic or alphacool (use it as a cooling solution, the 120/140 is acceptable).
this would enable moving the cpu heat outside the case, lowering chipset and vrms generally and helping avoid any thermal throttling on the ti.
you can also remove it when selling the pc (so maintain cooler stock) and reuse it in another build.
