According to GPU-Z
Card with low ASIC = poor clocker on air, high temps, great clocker on water/ln2
Card with high ASIC = great clocker on air, probably no better/worse under water/ln2
Its due to current leakage (or something?) over the chip, lower ASIC = higher leakage, which can give higher temps, but also feeds the chip as a whole with more current giving it the legroom to handle higher voltages but exotic cooling to remove the excess heat
Thats the theory behind it anyway, personally I think its just the tip of the iceberg on how a good clocker is determined based on stats such as ASIC.
Ya see i have low ASIC 67%, average clocker(V.Good on memory) lowish temps
Kind of in between, still happy with it, just scratching my head!
