I've looked around on the net for a decent guide on how to Overclock these bad boys but had no real luck...
Can anyone give me any guidance as to whether or not I should use Precision to Overclock them?

Further spcs:
EVGA 650w modular 80 plus gold PSU
Z77 extreme 4 mobo
8GB G Skill PC3-19200 DDR3 2400MHz
i5 3570k CPU @ 3.4ghz

(The 670's at EVGA FTW editions by the way)
 
Hmm, I would be careful how much you overclock them and ask yourself whether you need to. You're probably pushing your power supply a lot. Saying that, I've overclocked both of mine to 1202. I haven't used sync, I just made sure the memory and core clocks match. :)
 
I doubt you searched, as soon as you out in "670 overclocking guide" into google it comes up with the guide that everyone uses on overclock.net
;)

Anyway Precision X 4.0 is a great user friendly tool to use, I use it myself. Much better than that MSI AB rubbish!!!
 
I really don't see much point in day to day use to overclock the 670 FTW's myself.

As they have a nice overclock on them already.

I have benched both of mine at 1280 core and 7200 memory just fine however...if that helps.

Hello,

at the following link you can find our recommendation which power supply we suggest for which SLI setup. For a 670 SLI setup we do recommend our 750W PSU so it can be possible that the PSU is just maxed out http://eu.evga.com/articles/00722/

Ahhh this explains a great deal! I've been getting a few seemingly random crashes that a lack of power would explain... I have one of your 650watt gold editions at the moment... I shall invest in a 750 atleast as soon as I can, thanks.

If you want to do some overclocking and be also save for the future you should might go for something bigger. Not that you reach a nice overclock on your 670s and you'll be at the end of the 750 psu too...
 
Im thinking of giving overclocking a go, but does it improve fps in games. Im only having trouble with crysis 3 but that can be solved with lowering the settings which ill never do. Im also hoping its something that new nvidia drivers or a game patch will sort out.
 
I prefer precision myself. Not much of a difference when gaming but for benching you should overclock indeed.

You should find out the maximum stable overclock on each card, then you can apply them separately or sync them together and save to a profile for quick access.

The latest precision is 4.0.

Yeah just overclocked it and there is very little game performance difference so ive put it back to default.
