Here are a few screenies of what I have as right now and a few "Q"
I know no records were broken here but, seeing as its my first time OCing a VC Im taking it easy, kinda sorta :D and so far so good and stable.

Also with all the tweaking and getting the clocks up, my GPU temp went up to just about 85c Youch = :eek: :shadedshu and me no want to end up :cry:

I can get mem to max at 801 but the Core not much higher than you see in the screenie, without a crash. And im open to suggestions, ideas, hint, tips, on what I can do to improve upon things.

More than likely Im going to have to put in a blow hole because I think my ambient case temp is not helping much, Oh an NO I have not OCED the CPU if anyone is wondering.



This im not sure of if anyone can give an example would be helpful.

Just A LiL Update Here

Okay here is what I did for now and until I can get better cooling on the VC Im not going to push it much more, I may just keep it at the Lower OC settings.

I set up this profile for a lower OC


And this profile for a higher OC for gaming

You have a talent with the screenshot button :p. The "clock safety range" is a little tool to help you remember not to fry your card lol. I never did see a use for it, your card should show artifacts/freeze/cook WAY before you'll reach any of those safety ranges, and you can always increase your "safety range" by getting a better cooler ;). Very nice OC! :toast:
