Hi.
My rig is in my sig.
This must be a problem with my card specifically.
Problem is: When the card reaches 60C-70C (usually closer to 60), it resets the voltage back down to stock (1.174V).
This pretty much prevents me from overclocking it much at all.
Yes, I put the power limit/control settings at +20%.
I've tested it with benchmarks and BF3.
Using Afterburner, I set the clocks to 950/1450 (core/ram clocks). I didn't touch the voltage.
I played BF3/ran a few benches, and it was fine...card got up to around 70C.
I then left the clock speeds the same, and set the voltage to 1.185V (from 1.174V). I started BF3. When the temps got to 66C, everything locked up, and then it said that the display driver stopped responding. I checked and the voltage had gone back down to 1.174 (and the clocks remained at 950/1450).
I've tested with higher clocks. It runs them just fine, until the temps get to around 65C.
I was able to run benches at 1025/1535 at 1.3V in the winter when I had my computer outside (the temps didn't get above 30C or so).
This is really pissing me off, as I want to work on 3D benching, but now that it's basically summer I don't have a way to keep my card below 65C, so if somebody could help that would be great!
