Got the eVGA 6800 GT and was rdy to OC this bad boy with coolbits2. Stock speeds are 350/1000. Well I maxed around 370/1080 !? With these speeds my 3dmark05 score went up around 300. I have 6 case fans(all 80mm) and I have decent wire management. I thought I should be able to OC past this. All games play fine with these setting except HL2 sometimes gets the card to hot so I have to restore defaults. Difference in the fps from stock and OC isn't but around 4-5 better but that's ok I guess but the gpu core temp. hits around 61-63. Is that too hot ? I'm not real sure so I'm on stock speeds for now. I thought this crappy psu may not be delivering decent power. On the 12v I get around 11.85-12v(or so CoreCenter says) . It may be the crappy fans in this case though b/c I have the Winchester AMD with AS5 and as I'm typing this it is at 45C. I applied alittle more AS5 than said. I heard that spreads the distance between the HS and cpu thus raising temps. I'm planning in cleaning it off and reapplying the AS5. Eventually I gonna get some sort of watercooling system if I can't resolve this issue. I don't really need the OC to play all my games maxed but I like to know I can OC the card and cpu when the time arrives. I have kind of rambled on but I appreciate all your help guys.
