Bought this today :)

[captainrobwash]

Yea the blue leds are the problem in my opinion although I love the blue thing on the bottom looks like a mini arc thingy Tony Stark has on the Iron man movies but the blue led and yellow would clash with my current white leds and kit in the case.

Push it to the max and do a 3Dmark11 run I would like to see what it is capable of.

use the sensors tab to see what it actually boosts to

This.

The info screen on GPUZ just shows the minimum boost the card will get.

Did anyone actually manage to OC these cards? The last I saw the stock clocks were great but wouldn't OC by more than 15-20mhz with no voltage control

 

[captainrobwash]

still at base clocks (been busy ) running furmark to boost clocks.

 

[OptimaLnrg]

ooh so they have deffo binned these chips. My lightnings both boosted to 1202 out of the box.

 

[captainrobwash]

This is boosting to 1306 out the box with base clocks pretty happy so far just trying to push it now so will let u know how far I get it.

 

[Kaapstad]

What sort of temps are you getting under load.

 

[Cool Breeze]

Nice boost there on that card, I have a stock gigabyte under h20 and can't get near that.

Great cards though the 680's raw power!!

 

[captainrobwash]

Max 70 with lowest fan settings running furmark

 

[whyscotty]

Max 70 with lowest fan settings running furmark

Very good out of the box though

Do a custom fan profile and bring those temps down a touch,
to keep below 70 if poss.

 

[captainrobwash]

yea but if i knock fans up and my case fans up should drop pretty massively.

 

[captainrobwash]

right so a little bit of playing got my clocks up quite a lot very very happy with this card.

 

[OptimaLnrg]

Boosting to 1415 on stock volts?

Not sure whether that's common for this card or you got lucky in the ol' lottery haha

 

[captainrobwash]

I knocked volts up to 1.0v not much but seems to be stable so far.

 

[OptimaLnrg]

Did the load voltage change?

 

[captainrobwash]

at load the voltage is 1.15v so small increase been running furmark for 30 mins and max temp 76 so think I have been lucky with this card although I think most of the kfa2 cards are good clockers.

 

[hyperst]

Now that must be 1 in 10,000, well done on getting a good one.

 

[TheRealDeal]

Very nice clocks there guys. Some of the highest i have seen on air and for that matter water.
