R5770 Hawk - overclock help - Advice

[Claire Drew]

I have just got the above from the MM and wanted to know what the safe temps of this card is?

I have googled but struggled to find any and from reviews I can see this card can go a long way to 1000 core approx and 1400mem.

I have tried mine at 940/1250 but the temps are going upto 90c even with the fans set at 70% The voltage is at stock (1.2) and I have run the Kombuster for 6mins with no error on full screen with AA full and res of 1280/1024 on my 40" samsung if makes a difference?

Are the temps way to high, have I missed somthing here advice please?

Hm...I guess I have to ask...how's the airflow for your case? Are you getting enough cool air into it with intake fan etc?

Air flow is good.

I have restered the app and getting conflicting results.

Got the temp at max to 63c at 925core and 1250mem so pushed the core up 5mhz more and bam the temp loaded straigh at 73c and went up like 1c every 2 seconds?

IS this a sotware issue? what elsoe will check the temps? as temps show at 58c idle in afterburn
