So how about this, everyone who has gotten a 670 and wants to overclock it, post your results in this thread and I'll keep the OP updated with some graphs to see if we can work out if there are any conclusions to be drawn.
I will need each of you to post;
Make & Model:
Best Boost clock:
Temp:
Noise:
Heaven Score:
Heaven Avg. FPS:
Make and model are pretty self explanatory, but also note here if you've modified the card in any way - aftermarket cooler or water block etc.
When I say "BEST" boost clock, I don't mean maximum when you first start up, I mean after your card gets up to operating temp, then what does the card tend to run at... so if you are hitting 70 or 80C, what does it then run at.
just to clarify, the best clock doesn't need to be in heaven, it can be your favourite game or other benchmark, which ever is the most consistent (e.g. if heaven is the lowest and another benchmark + game both show the higher clock then go with the higher one)
Game Stable boosts only please.
If you want to run heaven and post scores you can (for settings please use 1920x1080, 4xAA, 4xAF and Normal Tess as per the other thread just to try to keep some consistency). Links to screenshots (don't have to be full size) of afterburner and heaven would be appreciated but not essential. I'm not running a leader board here so there's nothing to gain by lying.
Noise: now this will be the most subjective one as we don't all have DB meters at home, but what I would like is one of the following:
None basically this is where you can just barely hear it, or even can't hear it at all over the noise of your case fans (if you have a particularly noisy CPU heatsink/fan then please note this)
Audible this is where you can hear it as a distinct noise but not annoyingly so
Noisy this is where to get the OC that you've posted up you have to set the fan up to a point that it is clearly audible and without something like headphones on you would find it annoying in an otherwise quiet room
I'd prefer if people kept chat to a minimum on this thread (either go to the main 670 thread or start a new one) as it'll start to make things difficult for me to keep this one updated if there's too much chatter and not enough results. I'll be keeping a note of usernames too so if you achieve a better clock, don't worry I won't count you twice, I'll use your most recent one - so if you get a better clock or if your previous best is no longer stable I'll keep that updated too.
If you are in the process of OCing your card, please don't post up every 20 minutes saying "no I've got this, then this, then this"... do your OC, spend a day on it and then post up your result.
Hopefully we'll start to see if there is any pattern to a particular card doing a high OC, or if it's just random... I'm also hoping we get a few watercooled cards in so that we can see if the long PCB cards still beat the short ones when watercooled or not, so people can make an informed decision based on a wide spread of data instead of a few reviews which may or may not have been cherry picked review samples.
