Yo Mr Hardware Lens this was an awesome dissection/soldering craft-work on your GPU boy you really had me going in this one..... Dude @7:25 I literally was LOLing I'm just glad I wasn't drinking anything at that moment!! and that fkn music.... holy buckets!! To your (video description comment) >>> "as I take a break from continuously refreshing newegg to try and grab a 3090" Haaaa that was me for 1 week trying to find the best deals for all my parts to my pc build! So I feel you! Thanks for this sweet content/video! I very much appreciated it and you educated me some so Thanks Teach! Cheers Bud!!
Just as a bit of a heads up, soldering on top of the shunt resistors does work but you have to use a resistor of the same value, so 2512 package 0.005 ohm (or 5 milliohm) right on top of both pcie PEG shunts will do the trick, if you just solder straight over the top or go too silly with liquid metal (though LM isn't recommended due to it's propensity to eat solder) then it will put the card into safe mode and not enter 3D clocks at all, but if you run with 2512 package 0.005 ohm, the 2512 package is much easier to solder too good point made with the 6 pin and 8 pins, that's just pcie spec, pcie spec is specced based on bare minimum wire gauge, the connector is capable of taking 3x the rating, so if your psu runs higher than bare minimum and a decent wire gauge then you can absolutely shove 2x or more into the connector without running into any issues
Soldering the same value resistor on top will double the power limit, because you're halving the resistance so the card thinks it's only using 50% of what it actually is. But you don't NEED to use the same value resistor. If you use a .01 ohm resistor instead, it will make the card think it's only using 33% of the power it's actually using, so you will triple your actual power limit, etc. It's just math. Just don't go using something like a 1 ohm resistor or even a .1 ohm resistor or else you'll fry your card. And lots of people have had no luck with adding another resistor of the same value, their card just locks down at 305mhz or whatever. Derbauer has a video on the 2080 Ti Strix where he tried to shunt mod it and it triggered the safety limits. Doubling the power limit is almost always going to trigger the safety limit. I think increasing the power limit by 50% is the most anyone should be doing.
@@twizz420 this is correct, but you get dangerously close to tripping safety mode with a .01 ohm resistor, and the other side of things is thst doubling the power limit will functionally remove it u less you're going LN2 in most cases anyways, and by that point you can just use a potentiometer since cooler mounting is no longer a concern
However, it is exceedingly rare that a same size shunt will cause safety mode to be tripped, it does on the strix 2080ti but that doesn't really matter as the xoc bios functionally removes the power limit anyways
I need the limit to increase for a Palit 1080 not Ti, is it possible? Also by software ThunderMaster it is possible to increase to 120% but no more....
not all 1080 can do it, I had a 1070 which OCs to 2040Mhz without issues but now have a 1080 which is not really OCable, maybe around 1950 or less but throttling by power limit which I could increase by Palit Thundermaster SW only until 120% no more.
the part is: 10 Ohm 0805 (google is a widespread term to search for anything you want including this part) :p 0805 SMD cost (for me atleast) about 0.02 euro cents EACH. and like Lens explained in this vid: if you dont overclock and keep the voltages stock not much will change. this is purely a mod to bypass power cutoff during gaming -which this card will do because its designed to run efficiently even during heavy loads(hence the power cutoffs)

looking forward to doing this on my Aorus 1080 ti extreme, thanks for making the video!
Did it work?
i got an extreme too
did it work?
Very nice man. The music is amazing too

hope you do the volt mod aswell :)

Any chance you can do a miner test and see what hashrate you get out of that lovely beast of a card?
Something seems not right. I'm doing 2050-2070mhz on the core without any mods.
not all 1080 can do it, I had a 1070 which OCs to 2040Mhz without issues but now have a 1080 which is not really OCable, maybe around 1950 or less but throttling by power limit which I could increase by Palit Thundermaster SW only until 120% no more.
Data not presented very well. From what I can tell, based on what I can extract from this video... it isn't worth risking your GPU.
any chance you can link the parts. Want to order. Thanks!

that could burn the shunt
No it wont
