Well i got it at 435 core 370mem and its goin fine. I cant get much more out of the core though. I wanted a bit more, but I guess ill settle with that for now :D. Maybe someday ill get that zalman heatpipe thing and try to get the core up some more :yummy:

[NeoShowtime]

3dmark 2k3 ~ 6634
3smark 2k1 ~ 21,141

FFXI high res ~ 6607

Nice OC, close to mine...mine smoked and died yesterday...cant wait to make a new keychain out of the core...:(

[Moonwizard]

Why not RMA it??? Just say it burned without you doing anything special. :D

[NeoShowtime]

Looks like the Zalman ZM80C-HP wont fit on this card unless I do something to shave down the ramsinks on the top side. I dont really wanna go to that, so does anyone know of some VGA cooling better then the stock one on this thatll still fit? I wanna get a bit more extreme, but I cant afford water or vapo or anything :( .. Any ideas?

[dbwillis]

nah, theres a chip that cracked in half and melted off the PCB...made my new keychain today though....:cool:
