Possible.Could imagine the topic starter here is the topic starter there "Skysnake"
Thanks, we have a request in w/ MSI on this as well.FormatC said:1.) I'm the author of the German article published on Tom's Hardware.
2.) The article has a real background and there is no sensationalism, the test is based on multiple feedback from our readers after the GTX 660 Ti roundup.
3.) One lab, one of our readers and I have independently reached the same results and analysis of errors in the wiring.
4.) I have informed MSI first and waited for a statement before we decided to publish the article.
The MSI headquarter has responded officially:
... We are currently not aware of any other vendor providing this same level of performance and we?ve worked with NVIDIA to ensure that new production models will limit this free overclock boost you currently get. Our new production models with normal GPU Boost function will be on sale next month.
Just trying to read between the lines
A little part in English from our news - but: "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links. "
Nice forum
Personal note:
This heavy overvoltage (I'm waiting for a response from Richtek) is a dirty cheat. I took a Gigabyte 660 Ti (with the same combination of TL431 and RT8802A) and I have separated the anode of the TL431 electrically in the same way. What I got was the same result - instable, high VDD, a lot of boost and some problems to start my computer. We have recommended the Power Edition in our roundup verbally and I feel cheated as a reviewer as well as the readers. Sorry for my poor English but I try to improve it![]()
This does seem to indicate that an error was found and they are correcting the issue. Keep checking back and we will let you know what they say.We are currently not aware of any other vendor providing this same level of performance and we?ve worked with NVIDIA to ensure that new production models will limit this free overclock boost you currently get.

Bernhard said:From my perspective, any user that opts for an OC'ed article is most probably prepared to OC even more and is hopefully aware of the potential reduced lifespan of the OC'ed components. It goes with the territory. Here, MSI was honest enough by marketing the most OC'able cards in the market and still offer the full guarantee. Quite a bold move I would say.
If users are ignorant to potential reduced lifespan of overclocked components, then they live in a dreamworld.
Yeah, to prevent spam users aren't allowed to place external links before they made at least ten posts. An unnecessary and obviously provocative post. So far for independent press.FormatC said:A little part in English from our news - but: "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links. "

As you are no user you should feel cheated by yourself for not having investigated by what that level of oc is caused if you were supposed to technically review a product. Also can't remember other card manufacturers like EVGA or Zotac stated for the customer their extreme oc card would use overvoltage of the gpu (that by the way means running it out of specs) none the less I missed someone crying out...FormatC said:Personal note:

How do you know that? I gave my wife a GTX 670 PE and it's just now one of my personal problemsAs you are no user you should feel cheated by yourself for not having investigated by what that level of oc is caused if you were supposed to technically review a product.

Further questions on why you are no normal user? It's pretty irrelevant what your wife got.FormatC said:We have recommended the Power Edition in our roundup verbally and I feel cheated as a reviewer as well as the readers
FormatC said:To get the extra boost with RT8802A the pin-mode still works ( tried it by myself). Why use such a nonsense wiring? Other companies make other mistakes, right. But this is not an Asus or EVGA card. Who makes mistakes should not always point to the others...
I can draw two conclusions from this reaction:At least nice to see my expections about the attitude of the article are finally confirmed.
