**UPDATE**

Thanks for the input! I raised the voltage to 124 and i can now run everything perfectly at 1100/1575.

I tried bordelands 2 on max settings and it no longer struggles in big combat situations! So, awesome!

btw, temps are maxing at 69. It's a lot, but not deadly, so I'm pretty happy.

69 isn't really all that high for these cards. Grats on the new overclock.

Btw, is it voltage that determines temps? I ran unigine for about 30 mins and got all the way up to 78, which I assume is borderline. Should i try to lower the voltage to see when 1100 and 1575 becomes unstable?

Well if you are happy with the clock speed then yeah try lowering voltage. Temps are a direct result of voltage, clock speed, fan speed, and ambient temps. Heaven is also a pretty heavy load so gaming it isn't likely to get quite as hot, but It wouldn't hurt to lower those temps by 5 or so degrees.

Thanks a lot man, really appreciate the feedback. I noticed that gaming never goes above 70, but heaven is nearing the 80s. So I guess i'm gold. Thanks again!
