Yeah, I'm luvin it. Du du du du doo.... hehe.

Bad luck on the RAM, hope you get it fixed at little money and hope to see you back in the comp later, it runs for a long period so if finances allow etc you will still be in with a shout.

I also found a voltage source of ~2v that goes to the GPU core, ill do some more testing to see if increasing it will help my overclock :confused:

Good luck!

Does anyone know if it's possible to loosen ram timings on the cards within the BIOS? My ram is limited to sub 880MHz which is really cramping my style.

Never done anything serious with GPUs, I was strictly a CPU bencher in the past. Thanks for that app, downloaded and maybe later today I'll try to loosen some timings. Hope I don't brick my card :D
