    Overclocking

    Overclocking the Kepler is a little different than what we have done in the past since there are no shader controls and you have to deal with the non-adjustable Boost Clock.
    When dealing with Kepler you have to expect the unexpected which also making comparing results across sites almost impossible.  What more, if your room temperature rises during your tests then scores won't match up and you'll have to start over.
    As always, keep in mind that overclocking is not guaranteed so your results may vary.  Out of habit we cranked the fans up to 100% for these tests and given how GPU Boost 2.0 will scale with system temp it is a good idea to keep things as cool as possible.  There is a significant difference in our benchmarks when running the fans on auto or a lower setting.
