Which means that the EVBot needs to be used in concert with software utilities such as EVGAвЂ™s Precision X in order to actually overclock and to monitor that overclock. Video cards on the other hand get a much smaller feature set the functionality is limited to voltage adjustment.

Depending on the device being controlled different functions become available, with motherboards in particular getting a full range of voltage and clock adjustments, along with hardware monitoring. Once powered up, the EVBot is pretty simple to navigate through.

The 4ft long cables are rather generous, but if you have a large case (like we do) then youвЂ™ll want to make sure you have an opening for the cable fairly close to where you intend to keep the controller, as thereвЂ™s not a ton of slack space to run it behind a full size tower. EVGA includes 4 EVBot cables, so you can control up to the controllerвЂ™s limit of 4 devices without hunting down any further parts. Short of an EVGA motherboard or video card, EVBot includes everything else necessary to use it.

Finally, 4 headers are found on the bottom, allowing one EVBot to control up to 1 motherboard plus 3 video cards. The EVBot draws power from the device itвЂ™s controlling, meaning itвЂ™s basically just a small controller (in the electronics sense) with buttons and a backlit monochrome screen.

EVGA NVIDIA GTX 680 HOW TO

The device itself is a simple controller with an almost iPod-like design, and contains a small firmware that tells the EVBot how to interact with various devices. Introduced a few years ago, EVGAвЂ™s EVBot is a controller intended to offer external control and monitoring capabilities for EVGAвЂ™s high-end video cards and motherboards. Moving on, before getting into the nitty-gritty of voltage control letвЂ™s quickly discuss EVGAвЂ™s EVBot. NVIDIA could and should do better here, since this is effectively an arbitrary restriction that offers no benefit on cards such as the GTX 680 Classified. No doubt NVIDIA has their reasons for going this route, but we donвЂ™t believe that anyone has benefitted from a lack of software voltage control on these premium overclocking cards. However lack of software voltage control makes the whole thing very messy, as weвЂ™ll see in a moment. Truth be told we donвЂ™t mind the voltage lock on reference cards вЂ“ letting users play with voltage control on cards that arenвЂ™t meant for it can definitely lead to problems (e.g. The problem with having to resort to this kind of creativity is that it is unquestionably a step back for enthusiasts. By using a beefed up PCB along with an external controller, EVGA can offer voltage control while meeting NVIDIAвЂ™s guidelines. The end result of that creativity is that EVGA has fallen back to their EVBot controller. Voltage control becomes necessary beyond a certain point, and since NVIDIA is requiring custom PCBs and disallowing software voltage control EVGA had to get creative. Meanwhile the second class of cards impacted is of course overclocking-focused cards like the GTX 680 Classified.

Partners that wish to ship heavily overclocked cards will now need to bin to stay within NVIDIAвЂ™s power requirements. The first are heavily factory overclocked cards using the reference PCB, which goosed the GPU voltage to hit their high factory overclocks. Software overvoltage control is forbidden. NVIDIA wonвЂ™t allow partners to ship higher-power cards using the reference board.

a base power target 170W) must use a custom board with suitable power circuitry. Partners wishing to have a card with a TDP over 195W (i.e. Specifically, there are two things going on: As we briefly mentioned before, NVIDIA is shying away from hardcore overclocking with the GeForce 600 series. With the GeForce 600 series things have become a bit harder for NVIDIAвЂ™s partners. NVIDIA doesnвЂ™t publish what those requirements are so we can only speculate from the outside about whatвЂ™s going on, but clearly NVIDIA has been unhappy with some partnersвЂ™ custom designs in the past. This includes cooling, build quality, and noise limits (the reason the GTX 680C is limited to 55% fan speed). NVIDIAвЂ™s interest in this matter is that video card manufacturing is a true partnership вЂ“ their name and brand is at stake as much as the partners вЂ“ so they want to be sure that GeForce cards meet their standards. So much of the GTX 680 Classified is geared around overvolting, so we wanted to break this out into its own section.ДЇor some time now NVIIDA has kept a tight leash on their partners' designs, with partners required to clear their designs with NVIDIA before they can sell them.
