T 1379748060 2<NeoDestiny2> [–]psikeiro 1 point 3 minutes ago I'll bet you my left nut I can overclock and overvolt my Gigabytes over your Sapphires.

T 1379748069 2<Berzerker2> #shotsfired

T 1379748072 2<NeoDestiny2> how would the board determine how high you can overvolt a GPU? if they're the same GPU ...

T 1379748092 2<psikeiro2> lel

T 1379748094 2<psikeiro2> trollface

T 1379748101 2<psikeiro2> there are definitely no components on the PCB

T 1379748104 2<NeoDestiny2> that'd be like saying I can overclock my 4770k better on my ud3h than a 4770k on a random ASUS board

T 1379748109 2<ThoughtA2> His 7950s specifically OC like they were touched by an angel

T 1379748118 2<NeoDestiny2> then he got lucky

T 1379748118 2<psikeiro2> no, it wouldn't be like that

T 1379748119 2<ThoughtA2> Board does affect OC ability though

T 1379748124 2<psikeiro2> exactly

T 1379748129 2<NeoDestiny2> components on a PCB won't magically make a GPU handle a higher voltage than it otherwise would be able to, no?

T 1379748133 2<psikeiro2> yes

T 1379748135 2<psikeiro2> wtf

T 1379748136 2<ThoughtA2> Yes actually

T 1379748137 2<psikeiro2> you serious?

T 1379748140 2<psikeiro2> wow

T 1379748142 2<NeoDestiny2> it doesn't work that way with CPUs

T 1379748146 2<psikeiro2> yes, it does

T 1379748146 2<NeoDestiny2> is it different for GPUs?

T 1379748147 2<psikeiro2> phases

T 1379748148 2<ThoughtA2> It does

T 1379748149 2<psikeiro2> etc

T 1379748151 2<psikeiro2> wtf

T 1379748152 2<psikeiro2> lmfao

T 1379748167 2<Berzerker2> such psikeiro

T 1379748167 2<ThoughtA2> Power delivery is important to overclocking beyond a mild amount

T 1379748167 2<Berzerker2> wow

T 1379748181 2<gernge2> ^ tl;dr: more, better phases = better overclock

T 1379748193 2<NeoDestiny2> assuming the board isn't shit, though, does it matter that much?

T 1379748200 2<ThoughtA2> That's why there are competitions between motherboards for overclocking the same CPU

T 1379748205 2<NeoDestiny2> will some chip that can only do 4.6GHz all of a sudden be able to push 5.0GHz on a different board?

T 1379748211 2<ThoughtA2> NeoDestiny: depends how much you overclock it

T 1379748214 2<psikeiro2> not all of a sudden

T 1379748215 2<NeoDestiny2> I thought that only mattered when you get into LN2 shit

T 1379748219 2<psikeiro2> nope
