I actually suspect there is a fault with the fan controller and they overheat with high demand games. My fan speeds never really changed when I put load on it although the temp went up a lot.

thing is, all the none OC boards, they are all reference boards just badged. Mechanically they should be close to identical.

thats why im thinking (and hoping) that the problem is entirely down to voltages not being liked at the overclock the OC version is on.

Ahh but I believe there are 2 parts of the reference design that are *optional* and I *think* one was to do with fan/cooling which is why I thought they had possibly swapped that out of the ref design for the OC editions.

Mine was running fine at 910mhz core last night for hours. Had it up to 950mhz for a glory short but I wasn't sure where the limit lied voltage wise, as afterburner goes up to 1.3v, which is obviously far too much.

So to answer your question - the regular cards OC fine. They just didn't adjust the voltage correctly on the Sonics.

Thanks for that

You say memory is 1050 for the 580,a tad confused my memory on my 480 is at 2000?

Thats 1050Mhz at Double Data Rate. ie 2100Mhz

Should be effective 4000Mhz stock but it could be down to how the utility works.
