@ q6600- Voltage/cooling ?
Very good 'clock. Isn't Furmark throttling the card though ?

I use for oc asus smart doctor max v for gpu is 1.263v, past 952 it seems that it needs more juce.
as throttling, in 3d vantage i get like 55 max as temp. i m very happy with my asus so far. i will try a better oc program like evga or msi , at the moment non work with my asus.
 
Max 55c in vantage at 1.263V ? Your fans must be running full whack. I can't see 1.263V being safe anyhow when stock is around 1.05.
 
Indeed..with such an expensive beast of a card, I wouldn't put that much juice through it. I thought I was risking it with 1.16ish :o
 
Well in the old 2xgtx 480 i put 1.4v and they did ok. The fans on the 2x580 they been set on manual @85%. i can make the fans to work @ 100%.

ps
on the box they show 50% faster so at stock is 1.05 and 1.5v will be fine:D :D
do not try this at home.

Anyone know what level of voltage starts to cause electron migration and ruin the GPUs? 40nm intel CPUs seem to get knackered quickly above 1.45vcore - do 40nm GPUs get ruined by vcore at a similar level? Assuming you have sufficient cooling to keep temperatures under control, is it safe to run up to that sort of level?

All depends on the makings of a GPU to be honest. Are they similar to a CPU?

For example, a 45nm i7 may be 1.2v at stock, or even less. They are completely fine running up to 1.4v, which is obviously a 0.2v increase.

Now using that same logic, if a 580 GPU runs at 1.05v stock, then about 1.25v should (in theory) be perfectly fine. I do not know enough about GPU's to be able to be confident though, so I'd stay well below 1.2v myself.

The oc for gtx580 is use only with fans at max and only for bechmarks. For game are stock and fans on auto.

I run mine on auto @ 875core without any heat issues. The 580 overclocked runs as cool as my old 5870 and cooler than a stock GTX 480.

Even running Heaven at 920core and auto fan, temps only hit low to mid 80's. Real game are mid 70's which is perfectly safe.
 
ordered my KFA gtx580. :D


anyone know how much their machine pull when they have gtx580 with i7 overclocked?

im worried that my over 3 year old Corsair Hx620 might not be able to handle it.
 
Waterblock for mine coming Friday, now they are available :D, went for an EK one this time, as Koolance are too nice to be locked away in a case ;)
 
Any update on the Arctic Cooling Accelero XTREME Plus for the 580, anyone tried fitting the VR004 kit from the 480?
 
EVGA and k|ngp|n Obliterate the 3DMark Vantage World Record!

On November 9th, 2010 EVGA unleashed the fastest GPU on planet earth, the EVGA GeForce GTX 580. This card truly obliterated the competition with 512 CUDA Cores, 1.5GB of DDR5 and incredible overclocking features. This card is fast, but Vince "k|ngp|n" Lucido knew he could go faster.

k|ngp|n was able to take 4 EVGA GeForce GTX 580s and crank them past 1GHz GPU Core Clock on an EVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard and EVGA Classified 1200w PSU. The result? Another 3DMark Vantage World Record at over 73,000 points. The World Records do not stop there though, k|ngp|n was also able to take the single card World Record at over 42,000 points!

With these record breaking performance scores and enthusiast features, it is no wonder why EVGA products are the number one choice amongst overclockers, enthusiasts and gamers!

I have a PSU only 30 watts more than you,look at my sig and what its running :)
 
They don't reply, your card will be listed in "create rma"/"card list" that's it :D
What temps you getting under load @900 ?
