trying to hit 800mhz on a msi 470!

[Rroff]

You'll get bored soon. I got to 876\1752\1674 @1075mv before I couldn't be arsed doing anymore, still dont know what it tops out at and I just run at stock anyway!

Depends on the cooling really, sounds like a good clocker so kept <40C it would probably go all the way to the region of 1200MHz - on the MSI cooling tho I doubt you'd get 900MHz 100% stable on 1.087v.

Why did you go back to stock?

Probably because of the increased power useage heh, tho 800MHz isn't too bad and a big boost over stock in performance.

What a waste, OC it to about 800:1600/1752, set a fan profile[if stock cooler] up with Afterburner to peak at 60%, less noise, temps about 80'c. I know the 470 is ok stock but OC it does make a difference all round gaming, a lot smoother ,etc.

Sorry guys had to pop out there. Only playing Fallout NV just now and it plays flawlessly on stock settings so i dont see any need in stressing the card. Will be playing crysis 2 soon although I understand it wont be up to the usual very high requirements. Will OC my card when it becomes necessary ta.

With that cooler fitted id run it overclocked daily at 800/1600. The stock coolers arent great tbh, and unfortunately i cant fit aftermarket coolers due to space. Hence the addition of the spot cool to increase airflow to the cards therefore allowing me to run on auto gpu fan setting
