Hi,
I'm trying to get 1300MHz on core clock. My max core voltage was 1270-1275mV. I'm using the unlocked BIOS 80.04.28.00.3A with 314.07 driver.
The maximum temperature reached was around 85'c on stock cooling.
I was able to get stable on Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 but I'll get crash or artifacts on Crysis 3. So is it that Heaven 4.0 is not stressing enough to test my graphics stability or Crysis 3 just plain sucks?
Just to add up after a few test, on both Heaven benchmark and Crysis 3, sometimes it's another way around.

Yea it seems the temperature is an issue too, I will consider a watercooling solution. I'm still testing the stability with a few games including Max Payne 3 & Far Cry 3. But gaming more than an hour is really pain in the ass due to time restriction. I'm, able to do 1300/6500 now with 1.28-1.29V for the core voltage. Still testing

New update, I've just re-applied thermal paste & everything and the cards are now running 1300/6500 @ 75'c maximum. Able to stable in Crysis 3 approximately 2 hours.

I have reverted my gpu core speed to 1293 MHz. Can't get stable on Unigine Heaven 4.0 at 1306 MHz Now I'm stable at 1293 MHz on Heaven 4.0 for 30 minutes & no games have crashed. I will upload a picture later  Currently backing up my phone pictures. This post has been edited by Vigilant: Mar 16 2013, 02:05 AM
