Thats one way of doing it, i find unistalling CCC cures all my annoyance with volts and clocks randomly resting back to default.

This new Xtreme Kit was moaning something chronic so had to lower it 2200, (lost my OC profiles recently)
So by that time last a 100 or so points on graphics. Giving it a rest till the block arrives me thinks, all in vain ATM
GPU load is only saying 32 which is obviously a load of crap AB readout says 100%. If I were to score that @ 32% load I'd be laughing
Still, not too bad at all for air. I've never been one for winning the silicon lottery lol.

If I had a penny for every time you said you knew it was going to be 'golden' ...

I seem to get rather lucky with the silicone lottery. Shame i don't buy new cards that often.

What, with your 'golden' 1200?

Yea mayne 1200 is golden as fuark

1290/1625 on two cards on the reference cooler with +200mv. Not too shabby i think considering it was £560 for the pair. Would go higher with more voltage but temps become the problem and i wouldn't put any more through than that without better cooling anyway. Currently the highest 290 Pro air score in the bench thread anyway.
6. 18399. GFX Score 25030. 290. Air cooled. Physics Score 13278. CPU 2700K @ 5.2 Water cooled - LtMatt - Link

Not bad but Jrs Ref 290p did 1320/1625 on 200mV ref cooler
Pot luck sucks. Luckly with the Lightning though, you can just ram volts through it

He was not running in crossfire though.
Point is, 1290 is pretty good i think. Would be interesting to see what they would do water cooled and with more voltage.
Won't find out though, oh well.

Just a quick snap in situ. It's a brute of a thing

1290/1625 is pretty good imo.
Mine didn't even do 1250/1500. Didn't spend much time on it though.
It did blackscreen at stock though, so probably not the best example.

Did you have MSI VGA Fan Control open? That causes problems with mine and I believe that was responsible for the death of my previous one.
GPU-Z, MSI VGA Fan Control and 3DMark open = VRAM voltages/temps become random numbers. Close fan control and it goes back to normal. Pre-RMA I had been using MSI VGA Fan Control to monitor while running benchmarks, started out with black screens then eventually damaged VRAM stopped my system booting.
Black screen crashed once with the replacement card then I managed to figure out what was causing the problem. No further problems since I stopped opening that program.
