Thanks very much for that. Is it correct as well then it will run cooler and, as I'm looking at the gigabyte one, also quieter?

Just seems to good to be true

The Gigabyte is silent even under load.. As for cooler not sure what an 8800gtx runs at but my Gigabyte 460GTX max,s at around 76.c....
 
Mine hits 82 degrees at full load but only playing L4D2, this is with 1.087volts, have dropped back to 1.057 now. Still same clocks (900/1800/4200)

Bad Company 2 though about 76 degrees.
 
Under load my 8800gtx will hit low 80's so I was hoping to maybe get a wee bit of a reduction but I suppose the increase in performance could compensate :)
 
Got my two Gigabyte 1GB GTX 460's installed in SLI and jebus they're practically melting each other while gaming, have had to get a desk fan sat facing them when gaming to keep them at more or less 60c.

Wish I had the money to get all my water cooling back online, just now is not that time unfortunately.
 
Emmm. Got my 460 HAWK today and while it's fine at stock. I can't get it over 820MHz on the core. I've got what is supposed to be the latest version of Afterburner (2.0.0) and it does look to have the triple voltage adjustment.

But core adjustment looks to go from +1 to+100 (I'm assuming max over volt is 100mv). But what ever I set in Afterburner does not appear to do anything. I press "apply" and everything looks fine. GPUz reports 850 (core) 1000 (memory) etc. but when I stress the card (EG. Kombuster) the voltage according to GPUz only goes up to what I'm assuming is the default (IE. looks to be 1.025 on my card). So it looks like the voltage is not getting adjusted by Afterburner. Unless I'm doing something wrong!?

I'm assuming here that all you folks are just using GPUz to check the figures, including voltage (which I'm also assuming CPUz calls VDDC).

The gigabytes arent reference cards from what I know so the EK blocks and the like wont fit which is why I went for the MSI ones, they got reasonably hot about 60C underload but was the noise more than anything, i just couldnt justify another £120 straightaway for 2 blocks

What did you have before, wasnt ATI by any chance? I moved from a 5850 to 2 460's nothing but BSOD when trying anything video, games etc etc, a full format sorted that, must have been some ati stuff left there even though I did uninstall it properly

You need to save clocks/voltages to one of the 5 profiles in the bottom left hand corners, go to Settings, and then configure that profile for use within 3D apps.
 
I use an Asus M4N98TD Evo, After a few initial problems with compatible memory all runs superb. I had no problem running two 460gtx cards in Sli although i found it a bit overkill...

The board supports dual 16x Pci-e and runs my 955 Be @ 4 ghz without any problems..

Now Running a 460GTX and a 9800GT. Things get rather toasty when gaming with both cards..

I've got the same problem, but it turns out to be an issue only with the free version of PowerDVD that ships with the blu-ray drive. Other versions of PowerDVD or other blu-ray player software work fine.

I've got a ticket open with nVidia at the moment as it looks to be a driver issue.

I suggest you also open a ticket with nVidia as the more of us that report it, the more likely it is they'll fix it.

Thanks for that. But I thought you could just press "apply" in afterburner to set these clocks and you only needed to set up a profile if you wanted to keep them after you shut down / restart your PC?

Pressing apply certainly sets the core/shader/memory clocks. You can see them go up to the new values when you run Kombuster. It's just that the volts shown in GPUz don't appear to change (IE. still shows what I assume are stock volts ... in my case 1.025).

Question... I'm assuming folks are using GPUz to monitor these things???

Still a bit confused here.
