Finally 3.0 on my 680 LT SLi

yep you read it right its @ 3.0 (333 x 9)
its been a long time coming this is what i got:

vid: 1.2875
Bios Voltage: 1.26875
CPU-Z: 1.216V

Was Idle @ ~35°C(2-3° spread)
Load: ~47°C(same 2-3°spread)

running prime 95 now for an hour so its probably to early to get really excited but is getting to 3.3 being to optimistic

i know for some it may not seem like much but i have been fighting with this board for a month to get it to boot past 2.8 so to me its like waking up next to marissa miller (well maybe not exactly but damn close!)

error (comp freeze) @ ~2.5 hrs so bumped volts to 1.2875 per bios (1.256 CPU-Z)

ackkk up to 1.37500 per bios and 1.344 cpu-z

temps dont seem to be a problem as they arent even approaching ~55°c @ load but still getting crashes / freezes wether i am playing cod4 or prime95 is uping the juice going to help this or did i get all excited for nothing?

edit: Prime95 Stable now 6+ hrs @ 1.3750V per Bios & 1.344 per CPU-z

Nice! No, you did'nt get all excited for nothing. That's a nice oc

Just keep your eyes on those temps.

I know thanks to everyone who has helped me with all my noob questions to bad i spent my money for a new gpu on a new taylor made driver last night but that 9800gtx+ is going in my rig and soon

i should be safe up to about 1.4 volts is that a valid assumption?

I see no reason why not. 1.4 is not high enough to fry anything, but I'm not sure I'd want to keep it there for 24/7 use if you're going to keep that chip for a long time. As long as your temps are in the 30's idle, and 40's load, that's just fine.
