When overclocking
- Thread starter Techen
- Start date
AMD Asus 290X
Overclocked to 1100Mhz Core and 5600Mhz Memory
Standard clocks are 1050mhz and 5400mhz memory.
Power target 120%
Running Heaven, No glitches etc, Stable.
Only locked on afterburner and yes its a asus card.
What should I rise voltage too? Paranoid about rising it as a review with the same card got even higher clocks from me on standard voltage? :S
You'll be fine up to 1.3v don't worry.
Just keep temps below 80C and you'll be fine.
Thank you! Will do that now and try elder again.
Yup thats my card, Are you sure to push 1.35v? I mean fans are at 44% and its sitting at 79c but it stays there while playing elder scrolls online. Has no issues keeping it below 80c.
And I take it the higher I go the more I can play with overclocks?
Welp, I started BF4 and got a blue screen of death.
Clocks were.
Core 1100mhz
memory 5600
Voltage 1250
Power target 150%
The temp is reaching 81 - 82c but the fan speeds aren't really increasing. Would it be wise to set manual fan controls now to keep under 80c? And I'd love to know where the bluescreen came from.
You can't be serious by adding more voltage. How the heck did the reviewers get a clock at normal voltage and I need to go even higher?
For our overclocking test, we kept to stock voltages and were able to increase the core frequency to 1,115MHz, representing a 6.2 per cent jump. We struggled to maintain stability at 1,120MHz, but found room to manoeuvre on memory, where the 4GB GDDR5 frame buffer on our review sample maxed out at an effective 5,800MHz.
How long is a piece of string?
Maybe you had a setting drastically wrong by mistake.
Maybe, Am starting to hate this GPU tweak already and much prefer afterburner much like yourself.
Am running Heaven Benchmark at 1440p with
1100 Core clock, 1350 Mv, 5600 Memory clock and 150% power target. No problems, No glitches or things on the screen. So who knows.
Am guessing from here I start increasing core clock till I get a issue then stop just below that, Work memory clock until the same then increase voltage.
Man overclocking is a pain. Once drivers crash it takes so long to recover and then you gotta load Heaven benchmark back up. Increase voltage and then you slightly touch the memory and it crashes again.
Overclockers must sit here for hours if not days trying to get something stable

Make it simple. Leave memory at stock until you've maxed the core out. Don't do it the hard way if you're still a novice.
Whyscotty is standing in from here on in, LT is needed in the bedroom.
Haha cool, Well thanks for your much needed help anyway.
If scotty is around. All I have to do is leave memory stock, Up core and voltage till I get something I like or get to temps that are stable around 80c with the fans not sitting at something like 100%
