They really do seem like the best option at present, no wonder OcUK are shifting epic amounts!!

Understood but the air 240 is an Matx case.
its best to have reference blowers for SLI so the air gets pushed out of the back of the case.. no reference tend to inject more hot air into the case space which in Matx is not too much
You may as well leave the power limit at 110% it doesn't make much difference. If it's crashing then you need to add more voltage.

Adding more voltage to my cards made little difference to the limit of the clock if I'm being honest. I think I got like +30 core with max volts over my max stock volts clock.
So saying that, the 6+8 phase will make little difference on clocking as the TDP is WELL under what 6+6 can dish out.
So those Inno3d aftermarket cooled ones will be good too and even better @ £259.

It helped mine, could only do around 1500 on stock, can do 1600 with +87mv. Temps hardly changed and the fan at 100% doesn't bother me, it's the quietest cooler I've heard.

I don't quite get why some can achieve 1500 on stock yet I can get no where near on stock. I know each card varies but such a gap?
You may have been unlucky and got a poor clocker, I know that feel, my 780 was shocking.
I wouldn't get too down about it, 100mhz on the core equates to a few FPS in games.

That's very impressive for non ref cards in sli. Quite a difference over the wf 780's I'm using.
Might not be the card, could be your Motherboard, Ram or PSU?
Down clock CPU or ram a little and see if you can get more from your card!
Very similar to my speeds xraycat apart from my memory is at 2000mhz which is +500 on the slider.

What are all your ASIC
I have two cards and the one with the higher ASIC runs a good few degrees cooler than the other, I will take them out and test individually and see which is best.

75.3%
My 780 was 67% and awful so ASIC % might have some truth to it.

Xraycat, I've settled on very similar clocks to you at the moment - 1460core and +200 on the mem but that's without touching the voltage. If I can get to 1500core for 24/7 with a little fiddling then I'll be more than happy

Well as for ASIC, one of my cards is 82% and the other is 59% lol

That will be why there is a good difference between your temps
