Palit Geforce GTX 780 Jeststream Overclocking
February 3rd, 2020
Hello, I have finally saved some money as I don’t earn much and bought final piece of my hopefully “good for next few years” machine: Palit Geforce GTX 780 Jeststream. I would like to oc it a little but I’ve never rly done any oc before except for my Intel Core I7 3770k from 3,5 to 4,2 but even this I did through bios auto tool from my MSI Z77 Mpower motherboard. Oc app Thunder Master does not have any auto options though and I’m not sure how to do it right so If any of yall done some oc succesfully before plz give me some clues. Without any changes graphic’s card temperature is somewhere between 24C-28C and in stress reaches 40C at most with fan on auto all time. I post screens from Thunder Master below, I have polish version so I edited and translated to english best I can:
P.S I am fully aware that overclocking may harm my hardware when done incorrectly thats kinda why I’m asking for yall help But since the temperature and cooling system of the card seems to be good and I have bought motherboard/power supply oc friendly + Cooler Master HAF X chasis with 6 fans it would be a shame to miss out on possible upgrade in gaming performance don’t you agree ?
Jetstreams are normally slightly overclocked by Palit, never bothered with my 670’s as it seemed overkill.
First and foremost. Use MSI Afterburner if you want to overclock
Run valley in the background (window mode) and tune the clock up by 10 slowly. If your getting shutter or artifacts. Tune down. Once thats done try a Valley benchmark. If your stable then start working on your memory. Dont be scared to raise the voltage.
Question. Why buy the Palit when you can get the 4 major brand? (Asus, Gigabyte, eVGA, and MSI)

Normally I would agree and would normally buy ASUS, however at the time I purchased them (pre GTX680) I managed to get them for about 100 quid per card cheaper, so it wasn’t much of a decision. They’ve been good cards so far.

Every card are prone to failed at some point. I am just concern about their RMA. If they actually go through it or just wasting time before actually issue one. Major brand tent to do their RMA faster without question. Had PNY gpu before and their RMA are pain in the ass. Took weeks to actually issue RMA. Other than customer service most card are nearly the same with a bit of editing from the company.
Back from 2 day working trip. I’ll download and try Afterburner first thing tomorrow since now I’m exhausted thx. As for question about why to buy Palit: -no idea why but it was cheaper and better in spec then Gigabyte cards;
-I never heard of any MSI cards being recommended or atleast high scored in tests;
-Asus was waaaaaay pricier then any card I browsed and only for it’s company name since specs wasn’t that impressing either. A little back I bought Asus motherboard and it bricked for no reason at all beyond repairing anywhere beside service, getting it repaired/changed to knew one on warranty was a real pain so I kinda don’t like Asus that much since then for same reason I’ll never buy any Radeon or AMD cpu since I tried it once and it was a lousy performence compared to Intel/Nvidia combinasion i have now.

In his case, PALIT, they do tend to be terrible at RMA, be extremely a pain in the neck, even if a sticker is a bit torn or bent (which wouldn’t be even the serial number) would start complaining and claiming there could be a chance of not replacing..and mostly they just repair and their repairs ain’t that good, but none the less, their products are quite good
Yow I tried afterburner as advised turning clocks up by 10 watching mesurments and so far so good I got +200 on core and + 350 on memory with 65 % fan power and temp is holding <50C on stress. I just have 1 question, does upping the core voltage actually helps in performence? An if it does how to unlock it in Afterburner coz it cannot be moved even after I checked boxes unlock voltage control & monitoring. I could unlock and slide it in Thundermaster (didn’t try was too afraid) so i don’t think card is locked by manufacturer.
I deal with RMA’s to many different manufacturers in my work – they are all the same. Best if it goes under the vendors warranty.
Nothing wrong with Palit. I have 2 in SLI.
They are all basically the same, (probably made in same Chinese factory) – just certain makes are often cheaper – hence why I got Palit.

Raise the voltage can get you stable while it failed when at stuck voltage. Also try different gpu stress test like running a game. If you have Battlefield 4 installed. Tried that for half a hour or so. To unlock the voltage read below.
1st - Dowload the latest MSI AfterBurner link located in Update above and install.
2nd - Locate the folder where MSI Afterburner installed to, open it, and locate the CFG file named MSIAfterburner. When you 1st dbl click this file it will ask you what program you want to use to open it, choose "Notepad" and click "ok" Once you have the MSIAfterburner CFG file open in notepad you need to change a couple of settings near the bottom:
UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1 (to keep PowerPlay active (may not work on old ASICs), 2 to traditionally disable PowerPlay or to 0 to temporary disable unofficial overclocking path)<--Do not type this, just for reference ;) I have mine set to = 1
Also go into setting – general – and check unlock voltage control and monitoring.

It really depend on manufacturer. I have a lots of RMA to and some company will drag it out till you “quit” or make excuses to not repair/replace it. had a few RMA from good company and they only asked the problem and then gave me the RMA. Now thats good service. They might be made from the same Chinese factory but when it come down to those non reference cooler on the card (like the one OP has) are made from different style and material which in turn give out the quality. If its reference card then ya. I totally agree their all the same quality.
Hm so I did all you instructed MU but still can’t adjust voltage It stays like this even after all changes:
I did check voltage controll and monitoring in settings:
Strange though when I edited cfg file I found: UnlockVoltageControl = 0
UnlockVoltageMonitoring = 0
Even though they’re turned on in options, I assume 1 means they’re on and 0 off right?
Did you paste the, ” I Confirm” texts on the afterburner file?. If it failed then you can use the Thundermaster program to set the voltage and AB to overclock or you can use that program to do it also. I flashed all of my card with an edited bios so mine is completely voltage unlocked. I believe the most you can go on a stock bio is +39 Voltage. But that would be more than enough to handle your overclocking and air cooling. Going high voltage on air can cause you card to go dead due to heat.
Double checked, I pasted exact “I confirm …” text where it should be. Guess I’ll go with using Thundermaster just for voltage, Afterburner have a nicer touch and runs more smoothly so now I know it I kinda like it more. Maybe there is some collision between 2 apps installed at once and thats why Afterburner keep voltage shut. Anyways thank you kindly for yall support, I think I got more or less a hang of gp oc now. Yall ofc free to continue posting (as will I if I run into some trouble or something interesting to say ) on side I enjoyed sharing your opinions on manufacturers, cheers !!
You can always run 2 of them at the same time. Voltage on the Tundermaster and do your tuning on AB. Do a fresh install on the AB since it didnt work
