I'm sure i've asked this before, but does temps affect stability? eg, a card @1250 on the core @93c vs a the same clock at 40c.

Can do yes. The cooler the better. At 1.4v (+200mv) the vrms need to be kept cooler for optimum efficiency. For short benching runs like this you'll be fine though. Whack the fan to 100% and clock it as far as it will go. It's a short bench after all.

How's that even possible? I'd expect that to need around 1.5v.

Magic! :cool:

Honestly though it's a combination of phase change cooling and more importantly the best luck that I've ever had in the silicon lottery. Hell the chip can do 4.6GHz at 1.08V. 5.2GHz is 1.22V. Stock cooling 4.5GHz also possible without ever reaching 90C.

Was the first chip I bought too.

Too bad it wont help me with this bench since all it wants is as many cores as possible. Gotta fire up the 3930K system maybe.

Ah nice :p I'm 100% air.
Mine doesn't even do 4.1Ghz at stock volts. Garbage.

Anything over 40c affects stability for me, in this weather i usually only have one crack at the whip, so i dial in a sighter then revert all clocks, fans to max and let it cool, then crank them up and go for it!!

Is this currently bugged for Nvidia?

Graphics test 1 was nothing but a black screen.

Same for me Nasha, so I would asume a bug.

From Guru3D-

Update: While testing the 3DMark Sky Diver benchmark,
NVIDIA discovered an issue where some of their GPU configurations would render a black screen during benchmarking.
NVIDIA has since solved the issue for these configurations and will be including the fix with their next driver installment coming early next week.
In the interim, if you experience this issue with your configuration please use the 335.23 WHQL driver.

Is it affecting scores do you think?

Personally I wouldn't trust black screen results. I remember when running Streetfighter Benchmark if you alt+tab or something it gives blank screen and when the benchmark is finish (you hear it) and you alt+tab again you get a way higher FPS average score than else.... but it could be different with 3Dmark Sky Diver... still for serious gaming rigs' the name is still FireStrike :cool:
