So after getting water cooling, raising my voltage to 1.55 via nibitor and a bios flash, finally got GTX speeds. Currently I have 653/1710 :D . Im thinking about trying to go to 1.6... and reach 700 on the core, but I dont know. Currently my temps sit at 57c load. Here are the rest of my specs...

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition @3.2GHz
Gigabye GA-MA69GM AM2 AMD 690G HDMI Micro ATX
2GB DDR2 @800MHz (Dual Channel) G.Skill RAM
XFX 7950GT 550M 512MB PCI-E @653MHz/1710MHz
Western Digital 320GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gps
Zalman Reserator 2 Water Cooling (CPU and GPU in one loop)
Corsair 450VX PSU

Completely stable now, I was able to reach this before raising the voltage, but it would crash playing crysis, now it runs fine.

Go me...
 
57 load is incredibly low, you have alot of headroom, i thikn once you get 80load is when you should backdown.. but evne then so... my gtx does 80 on full load and i still have no worries
 
gpu threshold limit before shutdown is 120c ... you've got a long way, as long as the temps are low, its all gravy :)

i've done 1.55v on the 7900gt w/ just a vf900... so you can do some more

show us some benchies too!
 
hmmm... 1.8v doesnt seem to stick, or maybe it does, but i cant bring the core any higher than 670 without errors in ati tool =(

i may try and do a hard mod later, i just need a circut ink pen or whatever theyre called... anyone know any stores that sell them? maybe radio shack? cant do online stores atm though...
 
well here are the benchies so far....
