GTX 260 Lifespan?

[tinymouse2]

Agreed with Earthy
Currently have mine at 712/1212 with no voltage change, very happy with that

Whats your shader at? Mine with mods was 810/1656/12xx. Prior to voltage was mid 700's and 1512 or so.

I haven't been pushing it at all really, I just push it up until my temps get to high (hasn't crashed yet).
With 712 I have my shader at 1535. It does make mine look like crap though I often underclock it to about 550 core, 1186 shader and 950 memory. I have my core and shader linked

core 720
shader 1552
mem 1200
fan 80
locked in performance 3d permanently
avg temp with kumbuster is 75ºC

i could jump core to 750 if need be

Looks like earthy has you beat by a mile (dominates me as well, that's why I love him )
I wouldn't say those are insane specs but their not terrible by any account.

 

[arcanise]

insane for not touching voltage which i am unsure how to do atm, will have to break out my OC notes and see what i can do with OV

 

[EarthDog]

About right is closer to insane...Below are my results with it straight up on air, then water, then volt modded under water.

Initial on air (100% fan): 729/1566/1215
Water, stock volts (1.06): 771/1656/1215
Water, bios volt modded (1.12): 810/1656/1215
