but at the end of the day, its the gaming increase that is important. not afew extra points in 3d mark
What are your temps? Are you using a different cooler?
I just tried A core of 630 and it bombed about 2 mins into the 3d mark 05 test.
I should be joining this "club" sometime tomorrow (I hope, the order tracker doesn't say it was dispatched today 
).
Tell me, does this card need an additional power connector or does the PCI-E connector handle that these days.
And one more thing, is the fan really that loud? Maybe I should keep my current Zalman V700 assuming it fits.
Can't Wait!

card is fully powered via pci-e socket.
840mhz is the limit in coolbits, i have the slider for the ram at the max 840, real speed shows up as 837mhz.
under testing my ram is fully stable up to 865mhz. but i don;t want to use a third party program to do any sort of clocking since coolbits is more than sufficient. hopefully someday nvidia ups the limit in their drivers, or someone hacks the driver or somehow finds a way to set a higher limit in coolbits.

Here's my 2 cents worth
As 3Dmark05 seems to be the benchmark of choice, here's my score with my CPU at stock and my card running 630MHz/1600MHz.
I'm using the 84.21whql drivers as these seem to bench the best and give the best image quality as well. The 9x.xx drivers are optimized for the newer cards(especially the 7950x2), so it sort of makes sense that I get better scores with this older driver.
Temperature wise, mines never hit 60° and I can't hear it at all. My card is an OEM Emtek(I think)and came fitted with an all aluminium Zalman cooler; hence the low temps and no noise
The overclock limits are 641MHz for the GPU and 1700+MHz for the memory. I'm waiting for my new motherboard(DFI Infinity)to be delivered so as I can work on my CPU overclock and then see what sort of scores I get.
Not bad for a card that cost me 88 quid delivered

Thats encouraging, i thought mine was a dodgy one as my score was lower than one or two peoples. Turns out they have volt modded theirs.... which i may have to do! I want 7000!

Not all bad, when your hyped up in the game you forget about it
Steve
I use headphones most of the time anyway. Gives a better gaming experience in my opinion. Plus I use Ventrillo or in-game VoIP so i need my mike.

Not too sure about your CPU, but all coolbits is, is a reg file that changes a setting in the registry to open up the NVidia overclocking settings in the driver. Its a TINY download and very easy to play with. Do a google for it and start overclocking - use the detect optinmal settings for 'instant' results - i went up in 3d mark 05 but about 500 with that alone!
Is there any way that 3D Mark 05 could have basically fu*ked my graphics card?
On Call of Duty 2 I am now experiencing short bursts of lag...
My ping is always 40 odd so it is not that.
But I am using Wireless Internet...
