Gigabyte 570 oc Voltage

[climhazzard36]

I have a Gigabyte 570 OC rev2 (GV-N570OC-13I-V2). Not the Superclocked version.

I have Overclocked from 780/950 to 900/1000 on the stock voltage of 1.013V.
Apparently the card only has 4 VRM's but since its a rev2 card they are supposed to be of a higher quality than before.

I want to know if it is safe to push the card to 1.1V and what overclock I can expect from doing so.

yeh 1.1 should be fine but don't quote me on that. I personnaly wouldn't go much over 1.050

I've got the SOC version of that card and you shouldn't have to go near 1.1v to get a decent OC.

I'm currently running 950/2100 @ 1.025v.

exactly i think i have 1.045 and im running at 890 in SLI.

Anything over 900mhz and 1.000 v is taking a big chance on those vrm's.

But as with all electronics if you keep it cool you can push it a bit harder, Heat is the enemy
The voltage is irrelevant, it's the current going through those FET's

 

[climhazzard36]

currently got it at 900 / 1050 @ 1.045

Its stable (several heaven benches, crysis, metro runs)
Temps hit 75 Degrees on load (69 before bench).

Worried about VRM temps though, any way to check on this card without using a physical temp sensor?

If GPU-Z does not pick it up then as you say laser temperature gun.

If it's a reference card it will have better cooling in as much as the heatsink backplate covers the VRM and memory

 

[climhazzard36]

GPU-Z doesn't pick it up, neither does hwinfo, so I'm assuming there's no sensor for the VRMs.

Not sure if its a reference design, I think it is. Problem is I can only find reviews for the SOC version which has 12 VRM's.

Need to find someone with the card or the gun :/

Post a link to a picture of the card or the model number.
