have u dled nvida control panel, if so u can do it htrough there
Mine crashed at 1001mhz.
Ramped it back to 990 and Kombustor is sitting there spinning away quite happily - ten minutes now (1001 lasted about 5 before giving in) and it's looking good.
I need to download the beta version of Afterburner to get at the voltages - fingers crossed a little bit more juice may get 1000 stable
Given I *seem* to have a decent clocking GPU here, what should I be looking at for the memory - or is 2200 enough?

Just a quick update to anyone following this thread.
My card is perfectly stable at 1000/2200 @ 1025mV. Maximum temperatures are 79/80 after a long, long time spent running Kombustor.
Together with my new [email protected], it's a fairly decent upgrade from my E3110 + 8800GT

I found Kombustor/Furmark to be decent stress tests for memory, but I had clocks with my 460 that would sit running for 20 minutes with no discernible errors in Kombustor, and then cause driver crashes within one run of Heaven 2.1.
I'd recommend using 15 minutes or so of Kombustor and 2 or 3 runs of Heaven to get a rough guide to overclock stability (I say rough, because there're no guarantees that a clock that's only marginally stable might squeak through a couple of runs okay).

Does anyone know how to get MSI Kombustor to work in SLI? The normal exe only stresses the top GPU, and I found another exe named heaven than stresses each card, but only by 40% on one, and 50% on the other.
I see the unlock power draw option, but it is grayed out and cant be selected.

just playing some games and waiting until i get my titan cooler then some cpu & gfx overclocking .I replaced the thermal paste on both cards, each one got a 5 c reduction to max temp, stuck the fans at 100% and got them up to 990 Mhz vantage stable.
My 990 Mhz score was lower though, so I didnt screenshot it.
They still crashed at 1000 Mhz though
Out of the box I had one card doing 1000 Mhz and the other only managing 950, so to get them both up to 990 Mhz is really good. I've heard that a Vbios update might improve overclocking on my weaker card, or better drivers might even help, at least I hope so.
