Do you undervolt/overclock your Nano? I have Fury's and would like to drop my power draw. What's your settings?

nothing!

off the box on Windows 10 (Pro)
install 15.12 drivers
set power limit 50%

i don't play with volts or OC of the Nanos i get electricity pretty cheap like 0,05 per kW (normal consumer pay like 0,23 per kW)

I also have cheap power, but I would still like to run 6 x Fury on a 1300w PSU. That's why I'm wanting to undervolt them.

use msi afterburn. i've been able to lower the 290x to 125 watts average as per gpu-z. In my case i'm more worried on the fan noise so this voltage lowering brought the temp to the mid 60s and the fan to 60%, this while maintaining the sols at 337 to 347

Noob question. Does afterburner write to Bios or does it alter the wattage on software load? What do you set to lower the power? Powerlimit or actual mv offset?

Afterburner does not change the bios. Some cards you can lower the core voltage with it and you can adjust the power limit on most, if not all cards to some extent.

And if I understand it correctly, lowering core voltage forces the GPU to perform 'more work per watt' while setting power limit simply sets a hard limit on power consumption, forcing the GPU to throttle down rather than suck more power when it approaches the set limit. Right?
