Am I reading this right - that the concern is for the long-term health of the richtek voltage controller being supplied 9.3v instead of 5v?
"Military Class III is not Übervoltung but longer life in difficult conditions."
No ... Components in accordance with MIL-STD-810G must function within extreme Tolerancen.
If one intends to find times only the temperature to -68 ° C, it would have to +49 ° C ambient. be that the component has to endure six hours without errors.
The 9.3 V at VDD ultimately lead to an increased operating temperature of the component.
If this Oper. but does not exceed it. at +49 ° C ambient were the case, then considers it from a certified to MIL-STD-810G component, WHILE a component with standard specifications long the temporal blessing. making especially in the field of conscious factory overclocking where it was generally oriented far from the reason to the limits of component tolerances I could be at a 9.3 V supply pin of a 0815 voltage regulator on top of the MIL-STD-not in the least nervous. GPU and RAM all these cards I see in the existing clock speeds 100 times die earlier than those with 9.3 V voltage regulator
This is the comment from German tomshardware translate via google chrome.
I don't quite understand it,but it seems that it shouldn't have effect on the lifespan of the card.
I've ordered b grade msi gtx 670 Power Edition oc yesterday from overclockers,now I wonder if that was the reason someone return the card to them?
"It does seem strange that they would gamble on certain PSU's not allowing the computer to post because of the 12V rail requiring more than the designed 12V."
I've got seasonic x560.Will my psu have problem with this if I get the card with 9,3v instead of 5v?
