Asus GTX 560Ti and tool-free bracket

[Scougar]

Just tried to put in my new 560ti to be greeted with the quick release bracket not being able to close, thanks to the design of the cooler on the Asus card. Hard to end up bending the bracket handle in order to still fit my Antec 920 thanks to that, and then screw my new card and sound card in place.

A tad annoying. That is all.

Also.. not really sure I am happy with this card. I'm sure I saw artifacts (lines, triangles) in heaven 2.5 at standard settings (Will need to recheck), and when the fan is only at 50% it's actuall pretty darn noisy for a twin fan unit.

I could have my Gigabyte 460 OC at 100% at it was quieter than this at 50%.

Heaven benchmark is known for that, try a few games - that's the better way to benchmark.

Games seem fine, and I believe on par with what I saw in reviews for the 'TOP' version of the card (with mine clocked the same at 900Mhz).

Mainly concerned about the artifacts?

Happens with a lot of the overclocked 560's going by what I see in the forums, a touch more voltage is probably needed.

What is considered the maximum safe voltage for the 560ti? I already upped it to 0.995 I think. (which seems to have helped)
