XFX 6950 overclocking suggestions

rujoesmith · 11-05-11, 08:01 PM

I have new xfx 6950 with a waterblock on the gpu and heatsinks on the vrm/ram and it has great temps. Right now its at 925/1495 with stock volatge and only gets up to about 60c after 5mins of furmark, and the ram/vrm stays in the mid 40's. Any ideas for clocks/voltages that have worked out good for anyone?

Are you sure the WB is properly seated?
60°C is what I get with mine (shaders unlocked)@945/1450/1.25v and fan@60% stock cooler

The VRM's look good but the GPU temperature looks off as manu2b said. For reference, I see mid-50's C with an AC Accelero cooler on an unlocked 6950 (lower clocks though).
