Next to that the complexity of this new methodology is extensive and to a certain extent even unreliable. extreme voltage tweaking can damage GPUs, and in the end these are returned to NVIDIA. We understand NVIDIA's point of view on this, really. And that we do not see happening, due to the limitations requested by NVIDIA. However you'd also need a special MSI AfterBurner build to support it. We can only assume that the old BIOS will spread like a virus to current Lightning owners to give them a little more flexibility on voltage tweaking matters. So while everything as described above is possible it in the end means that only the first batch of 5000 cards will have an OLD Bios that is freed up from the limitation and thus allows voltage tweaking to a certain extent.

This as well includes setting restrictions in the new AfterBurner 2.2.3 ( download here) MSI has to follow that directive or probably face the fact that they will not be able to purchase the GPUs anymore. As such all new batches Lightning cards will have BIOSes where their limit of 1.175V is enforced, even in the LN2 BIOS. While I was writing this article I learned that NVIDIA just issued new BIOS files to the AIC partners and is frowning upon voltage tweaking outside their limitations. About power limit and voltages as i read from here() I am also able to OC it a bit more(at least it doesn't crash +50MHz Core Speed. Stress test is for premium but i left it open for about 10 hours again no crash no problem :). Also tried it with Unige Heaven DX11 Benchmark 3.0 Basic Edition. I tested it with MSI Kombustor 2.4 run a GPU Burn-in Stress test for 19 hours no problem :). They tested the card and also expected that the card is faulty and then changed it with a new one. I returned card to the store (where i bought).
