LOL, It's a waste if you didn't OC a K processor.
Mine working at 4.5Ghz, with stock coller you can achieve 4Ghz no doubt
Higher clock will mininize the bottle neck of your GPU, you should try

btw can i know wat ur temp after OC??

I'm using Xigmatek S1283W, 4.5Ghz Run prime95 around 60c
I always keep my eye on the temperature, make sure it doesn't exceed 75c

For i5 2500K OC guide visit, lots of sifu there can help you out, I learn a lot from there

ok thanks for sharing info...

No worries
However it's good for you to track the record before and after OC your CPU.
Feel free to share some if you can achieve higher score
Good luck bro

Nice score bro...let me try benching my HD7850 OC and see the score

i see shepard you are looking for a 7970 again.
how come want to jump back into the Red camp again?

bring it on bro..hehhehe...btw it is safe if me using FurMark software???

No problem, as long as you monitoring the GC temperature.

Alright,

here's the score for HD7850 @ 1050MHz core:


And this is the score for HD7970 at stock (1000mv):

So fast received your 7970? how much you bought?

Added on October 4, 2012, 7:49 pmI can only achieve 1093 point with 1000mhz/6000mhz OC
But temperature around 50c+, now have to push some limit

Later will try 1000MHz/6000MHz but I guess 1093score for HD7950 is good already bro. Almost as fast as stock 7970 . Try to OC some more and see how high your card can be pushed to the limit.

wow 1300. Isn't an easy job on air cooling !Keep up

I'm working on what's the Max clock I can go within 80C
Cos current Max is about 60C, So I think still a lot of room for me to OC

ok now going up to 1225MHz core & 1400MHz Mem..heaven 3.0 score is up to 1329 (52.8Fps)

Wow!! that's impressive !!
How much voltage you increase?

Yeah really...but 1300MHz is for sure not for gaming, artifacts appeared sometimes


Voltage in AB set to 1.2V, I will push it to 1.299v later and see how far this card can go..hopefully can reach 1300MHz . Let's wait for your Max OC results then hehe

Mine without Voltage tweaking, so far can reach 1050/1525mhz
Score = 1140
FSP = 45.2
Temp = 64c

Next step voltage tweaking, wondering how far I can go

already got hd 7970??? so fast..btw it is reference???

how about the temp???..

at 1225MHz, max temp was 79degC with Fan set at 60% loud as a vacuum cleaner. Later will share the temps comparison once AC accelero xtreme 7970 arrived and installed
