Yeah, I just ran a test in heaven with it stock @ 1000/1250 and got a score of 1384 and 54.9 FPS.

I'll do a bit update in a bit :P

You should be able to add up to +200mv via AB iirc, whack the fan to max rpm and start increasing core/voltage and leave the vram on stock, once you hit the limit, drop it down a touch for stability.

Then do the vram clocking with core on stock, you'll know when it's at it's limit as it'll either corrupt/lock up PC/black screen, then back off.

Then set both clocks and run some BM's.

Make sure you don't have 'apply oc at start up' on AB selected as worse case scenario-it can cause blue screens at start up resulting in having to uninstal AB in safe mode.

PS, if it was mine, and if that cooler does what I've read it can-the LTG's were built for pain=tames 290X temps, I'd add +300mv(via AB switch) from the off and ramp it straight to 1200MHz.:eek:

I would prob go for up to +400mv and have a play if the cooler is as good as they say it is.

Thanks, I've got to 1130 without touching the voltage so far and it's just become unstable. time to bump the voltage.

Like i've said, i'm new to this so i'm taking it steady, temps are looking good though. Doesn't go above 70C so far.

Just seen your best was 1160 on the stock bios! With 100 volts to play with this gunna be fun:D That ln2 mode and extra power cable showing its worth alright

Yeah.. this is going to take a while! And still haven't touched the memory.

The LN2 switch is tiny, took me ages to find ended up being right in front of me!
 
LN2:
Core:1130 +10
Memory:1250
Score:1493
FPS:59.3

Stock:
Core:1120 +70 (i think it was, maybe less)
Memory:1250
Score: 1484
FPS: 58.9

This is so much fun! I didn't even know it had it or what it was haha

Can take up to 7 working days (as it says in the email that you get), but it's usually with you well before that, more like 2 - 3 working days.
