I killed my GTX570 Beast Ed :(

OP at least you had "some" fun, when I water cooled some 470's, I went away from the rig, during which time a leak sprung and one of the cards got fried lol....

I wasnt even overclocking them at that point!

Good on you for pushing the envelope though.

For making such a big fuss about the title of this post. If the moderators find out they will fry this thread, just like this guy fried his graphics card.

I didn't realise that trying to help the OP to head off a suspension or a ban was making a fuss.

Assuming you didn't buy them from OcUK - can you still return the card to a stock 'enough' state to RMA it?

Nah its my own fault...i broke it so ill pay to replace it

I wouldnt overclock if I wasnt willing to replace the injured

For your viewing pleasure.

Toasty, still smells burnt.

Don't you just love the smell of fried graphics card in the morning?

Ouchie.

I would seriously reduce the voltage on your CPU as well. Can't believe you need an extra 0.2 volts for 500Mhz!

I think you may be lost, let me re-direct you: http://planet520.org/forum/

Nah just kidding

I may consider 4.8Ghz @ 1.425V

Lol my 2600k @ 4.5Ghz / 1.260v says "hi".

I say fair play the reason we have voltage unlocks and overclocking made simple through software is because off people like you ......

People who want that little bit more how alwasy thinks this can go fast a true enthusiast and will say to hell with it when it frys as thats living life on the ragged edge !!

So i rasie my glass to your toasted 570 and you for for pushing it 1ghz core on sli is some achivement :cool:

Thank you! Its what benching is all about, I had a lot of fun

Least I'm not going to burn it.

Hell, I might turn it up to 5Ghz, see what it does, not like I haven't got volts and degrees to spare.

Shame about your GTX 570, but you must have known 1Ghz was pushing it for 24/7 clocks.

Overclock your cpu more if you want too, I like to get all the performance out of my pc. I enjoy benching and overclocking

1ghz core was for benching only. I know the dangers of overclocking, if I wasn't willing to replace any damages then I wouldn't be overclocking at all

Locky · 5 Oct 2011 at 22:37

Just put the stock cooler back on return the card to stock and RMA, don't be stupid and keep and buy a new one.

Well that was pretty unlucky then I'd say. Still, the very upper limit for Fermi cards is right about the 1Ghz mark.

I reckon it would do more, it was scaling nicely with voltage... Just a shame those poor VRMs couldn't handle the juice, theres always next time

I have to agree with Mr May. After seeing some posts trying to take the mickey out fo you for pushing to hard, I say good for you mate for doing so.

Bummer that you broke something, but that's what pushing limits are for to be broken.

Further evidence that NVIDIA skimped on power circuitry in the 5-series.
