Yeah 70 is pretty good, don't worry about it.

Wonder if lowering the memory would allow me to I crease the core, and would that give me better performance?
Thats what usually is the case however the rule of thumb is to push the GPU upto maximum stable and memory at stock. Then once happy with the GPU speed start pushing the memory up till stable.
Although if you are impatient like me you just whack them up.
Pre ordered two MSI 970 Gaming cards and a couple of EK thermosphere water blocks (along with the bits for my sons build, he's having one of my Asus matrix 7970's).
Coming back to Nvidia for the first time since I had an 8800GTX![]()
Will be interesting to see how the thermosphere works. I may grab one instead of waiting for a full block
Yeah - looking at the "dismantled" pics of the MSI it already has the VRMs and top side ram chips passively cooled - should be an ideal card for a "chip only" block. Just a shame the thermospheres are nearly as price as full cover blocks! Still, at least I can take these to the next card I upgrade too, so there'll be a saving in the long term.
Afterburner GPU: +240 Mem: +600 with a custom fan curve on stock volts.
Max fan speed hitting 45% at peak and temps peaking about 55c when DSR is up to 4k.
Fantastic cards.
Might grab one and some new tubing.
Thing is at the moment don't think it's worth putting it under water as currently the temps aren't stopping the overclocking.
Volts and power limits are![]()
I know, but seems a shame to have all the other WC gear and not cool the cards as well![]()
Wow that's a brilliant OC! Run heaven and post your results, you might have the fastest 970 here![]()
Score 1653
This is with the volts up to add the extra 10Mhz on Mem, volts are not making a difference to the overclock.
Much cooler when gaming too.
My issue is throttling on the power limit! This card would smash the bench's with a custom bios.
Also had 14177 3DMark Fire GFX score.
That's an awesome card you've got there Scramz, over 14k graphics score on 3dmark is an amazing score for the so called mid range card
You can tell from your graph though in GPU-Z that the card is throttling quite badly at that clock, 1630 was the max but it seems it was running lower than that for most of the run.
