560ti crashes??

[ants83]

i have the card at a stable oc useing msi afterburner.
numerous times i play bf3, put the fan speed on say 80% to keep gfx card cool and i will get a black screen and the fan on the gfx card stops and goes to 15%.

is this overclock related? i have ramped up voltage and still does the same thing?
any ideas guys?

What temps is the card running at when gaming?

first thing you should do is play on stock clocks/voltage and see if it still happens

how did you test the overclock?

 

[ants83]

I think I will test at stock. I used msi combuster to check oc.

Don't use Kombuster to check!

Just use Heaven or a gaming benchmark instead like Crysis benchmark.

Does the card crash out in any other games?

BF3 is terrible for crashing using overclocked gpu's.

It could be a possible TDR(crash to desktop) issue that's quite common on the 560's, only you said the screen isn't recovering, maybe someone with a 560 can help you out there.

Your oc is too high. Check with occtpt

Try dropping the memory clock down to 2000.

BFBC2 and BF3 don't like memory clock being overclocked too much generally speaking.

 

[ants83]

THanks for the help guys. Will try what you all suggested.

One more thing, your voltage is probably a bit high. I help a friend to overclock his MSI GTX560Ti OC 2GB to 950/2000 on just 1050v.

i was thinking that myself

a lot of my crashes with my msi 560ti was due to having my memory set to high my setting are now 1075v, 1000mhz core, 2175 memory and its pretty happy
