I now have it at 570/1043. Still everything seems fine. Is it safe to go this high?
Im using CS:S 'Video Stress Test' to test its performance, lol. So far im getting 71.6 fps with full AA, full AF, all gfx settings on highest at 1280x1024.
Im just thanking you for helping me :classic: I have managed to get it to 581/1073 and it works great. It wont go any higher though. I tried it a bit higher and i was seeing green colours everywhere and then it froze
Works great and dosent seem to overheat. It seems to reach 60 degrees celcius under most stress
Lol, thats the same thing I would do when OCing, CSS stress test. Wow, you got it all the way up to 580? I'll try to push mine a bit further. Good job at your first OC.
No, the only way it would "break" is if it overheated to the point of melting causing serious damage. You can do it, it's easy especially with powerstrip, just small increments.
^^On the bit where i have highlighted it with italics, do you mean 'its easy to melt your card using powerstrip' or do you mean 'overclocking is made easy using powerstrip' You can read it both ways and it makes sense but i hope its not the 'melting is easy' definition lol.
