No other issues pushing 350 watts through? I've been hesitant to push past 300 watts just due to lack of confidence in the reference power delivery.

I took the reference backplate off, but from what I've seen repasting is not only a PITA but not huge improvements. My temps on the 6800XT BE haven't really been an issue, though, with some aggressive fan curves.

I was reluctant but was a near necessity to get the most out of the new cpu

I have a huge undervolt, I actually didn't save my exact settings from my best run, but it was @ 1050mV or so. Playing with voltage is the where most dividends came from. My card can hit 2.8ghz but will thermal throtlle, but it'll run 2.5-2.6ghz no problem on a full benchmark without thermal...

I upped power just a bit on my 6800XT to get the 22k score. 298 watts @ max draw. It's an AMD reference black edition card, and while the fans are....not quiet....at those settings the temps are within reason. I don't keep my card pegged at that extreme OC, but I'll game all day with a pretty...

Ran again because I didn't take a snip of the graph.....and got a higher score....average clock 2,542 MHz. Not sure if I just hit the silicon lottery here or not....this is a 100% stock reference card, reference cooler. Only mod is removing the backplate.

Definitely was power, little tweaking there: Temps are still acceptable, 68 max GPU temp and 91 hot spot after a few TimeSpy runs.

I'm pretty sure I'm stuck on a power delivery wall. Not quite sure I want to mess with MPT though. Either way getting 3080Ti numbers on a card In paid $659 for is a good, good feeling.

6800xt Midnight Black reference card

Eh it's the light hash rate model, pass

6800XT in main machine, 3070 in wife's machine I would annex in the event of an emergency....barring that would be G15 laptop wit the 4800HS/RTX 2060.

Or an OnlyFans of sticking things in microwaves. Sure there's someone out there willing to pay for that.

Nobody knows how to assist you because nobody has ever done this. Literally everything could be damaged because lord knows what electrical pathways you connected that should never be connected.

If OP gets bored and wants to try fixing other things

The Japanese have always been good with this kind of thing makes sense that their breading is ideal for deep frying electronics. Thank you, will follow up, figure I should be able to really push the OC on a 6800XT if I can get it golden brown.
