I wonder how far this M2000 (similar to GTX 950) will go on stock voltage.

Now the thing about most workstation cards from Nvidia and AMD is that they lock out software OCing ability with stuff like Afterburner, so it's pretty much going to be firmware foolery to get this baby clocking.

I forgot to snap a picture of the other cooler. So thermally it looks like putting the MSI cooler on there (from an old HD 7850) is probably going to be enough to get pretty far overclocking already. There's fans blowing on front and back of the card now and it's folding at 30C instead of 60C at stock clocks. I have a universal water block and can throw it on a water cooled bench if necessary. I actually had to grind down about 1mm off of the sinks to get them to fit. I thermal glued some aluminum sinks onto the VRMs and the VRAM. The stock cooler looks so bad and was barely keeping it cool so I took it apart today, removed the thermal pads, cleaned it all very well, and I put a nice MSI TFIII cooler on there that just barely fit with some very small modifications. I'd love to push a few of these Maxwell cards. Did the same with W2100 a month before that but that card is even weaker power draw. It's under water and on a cheap B450 board. I'm not sure that it even hits 75w with the 1200MHz OC and 1225mV. Last month I pushed a W4100 to about +100% overclock (bios tweak) and it's been folding for a month.

The next card in the test lineup is a quadro m2000 that looks like it needs a healthy dose of bios and perhaps driver foolery since it is soft locked (like afterburner) to prevent overclocking. Anyone besides wiz experimented on stuff like that? I had a few motherboards in the past that had supplemental power connectors for slots but I no longer have them now. Example, do you think 100w will damage the traces on the card or the slot? Assume excellent cooling like cold water and lots of fans blowing cold air. I'm about to run some OC experiments on some cheap older hardware and I'd like to know what are the "tolerances" assuming a modern clean PSU and a high end motherboard. We know some slot powered cards can exceed that from time to time. Been a while since this has been discussed.
