What volts are you all getting your 5850's stable at with air cooling

Just curious as to what other people are acheiving i've currently got mine at 970/1200 at 1.218 Volts Fully stable. Not really tried much more on the volts or memory cause i'm a little scared to push it further. Temp wise it don't go above 70 degrees on a stock fan profile, But not being able to monitor vrm temps worries me a little, If they overheated would they bork the card???

thanks for any replies or advice in advance
 
I can do 1050/1250 at 1.255 but after a bit of playing about I now sit at 1000/1250 with 1.174v. A nice drop in volts for a fairly small drop in clock speed.

1000/1250 1.274v

use gpu-z to monitor the vrm's

Thanx for that

Makes me laugh how these non ref designs will let you alter the core voltage but not let you even monitor the vrm's LOL

The GPU voltage is managed by a uP6208 voltage controller, which does support I2C software voltage control with up to ~1.8V. The bundled ASUS SmartDoctor utility supports software voltage control up to 1.35V. Our latest GPU-Z 0.3.9 can also monitor this voltage regulator, but not as detailed as Volterra controllers for example.

all i can see on gpu-z is 3 different gpu temps a vddc offset and vddc current%OCP (posted a pic a few posts up from this one)

Any idea how i could work out a rough temperature, maybe if a few people chipped in core temp and vrm temp maybe there would be some sort of trend just to get an idea.
As said earlier i don't wanna **** it up
 
here you go buddy, not sure whats up with my temps tho they seem a tad high using 10.6 drivers, its normalyaround the 75c mark... not sure if its my drivers or new setup or the way i have my air flow as i've just moved from 1156 i7 860 set up.

Thanks for the gpu-z shot seems the vrm's stay pretty cool need a few more to confirm this tho
 
I just tried 1000mhz with 1.255v which failed miserably think my refrence card has to be 1 of the crappest around.
