Okay first off, I understand these types of threads are tedious at best but they can be extremely helpful sometimes and I appreciate help where I can get it so thanks to anyone who replies :)

Been tweaking settings all day and managed to find something suitably stable, so here are the settings I've stuck with for now:

Please keep images to 1280 pixels wide or post in spoiler tags as below - Rilot

I'm currently using Heaven Benchmark 4.0 on the highest settings I can, giving it a run through every time I changed a overclock setting

I am only changing the Core/Shader clocks at the moment and before I go changing anything else I thought I should ask the OCUK guru's your opinion on certain things I could do differently. So, should I be changing the memory clock at the same time or do that later? Also, what would be the "dangerous" zone for the core voltage?

My specs:
Asus M4A785TD-V Evo
AMD Phenom II x4 964 BE @ 3.6ghz
OCZ Gold 1333MHz DDR3 2x2GB

If any other information is required I am happy to supply it. This is all just a general question as I was curious about the memory clock and if that should/needs to be changed.

Thank you to anyone for their help :D

I cant see your overclock setting picture not showing for me but i have just upgraded from a msi 560ti 2gb oc edition x2 in sli this week.

My overclock using msi after burner version 2.3.1 was this.

Voltage was at 1075
core was at 960 mhz
memory was at 2150 mhz
Shader was adjust auto on this version when i adjusted memory.

I used this in sli and never crashed stable as can be for me, i did however at one point have my memory set to 2200 and didn't crash at all but cuz i was using sli and didn't really push them to much as heat was a lot and i remember i hit a score of 950 ish in heaven 4.0 on same setting as you and a p9141 in 3dmark with nearly as good as a stock speed msi 670 oc power edition which i have that did a p9218 but now have been overclocked :)

Thank you for the reply and sorry about the image, should be working now :D

Some good information, I have been thinking about setting the core clock to 980 and having voltage at 1075 to see if I can make it stable, as I did a bench with the same core but only 1050, got to the end of the test then crashed :(

Either I will up the voltage along with core or keep the core and up memory clock a little bit. Again thank you for your specs and settings, have been wondering about the capabilities in SLI

I would deffo increase the memory you will get better performance even with just 2100 you will get a better bench mark after.

I think you will need more than 1075 on the core voltage to hit 980mhz stable but you should run heaven 4 and just let it loop don't do bench mark yet do it in 1240 / 720p and not in full screen so you can then see the msi afterburner at same time and start adjusting the over clock as heaven running :) and increase core voltage and start adjusting core intill crash then start decreasing intill stable.

There a video on you tube on the msi 560ti 1gb with the core clock at 1000mhz with core voltage at 1112 and memory at 2100 shader at 2006mhz

Increasing memory clock really helps heres my 3dmark11 with x2 msi 560ti with just 950mhz on core and memory 2054mhz = P8783

And now with same core clock 950 but memory to 2100mhz = P9141

And compare my new msi gtx 670 2gb oc power edition stock did a P9218

So keep testing don't be worried about increasing voltage :)
