    What would a 'golden' 580 be?

    Just wondering since I just bought a 580 used off some guy and it is performing well higher then I expected.

    Overclocked it to 1k mhz clock speed, 2k memory clock and it gets about 34c idle and 54c load. My old card had a higher idle temp then this does load so it is just fantastic. Guy I bought it off of had only 920mhz OC but folded with it so it is very stable and I have tested my 1k OC (6 hours) and had no problems and temps are just fantastic.

    Can't seem to find any info on what a golden card would be

    Wish that was with stock cooling, be even better I guess. I have a AXPII cooler on it which is why I have decent temps. Now I just have to decide whether to keep it or not once the 600 series comes around since I plan on doing a full water cooling setup.

    Never changed volts even. Turned on the option in afterburner and after converting mv to v got : 1.013

    Almost 400 point difference when I did the heaven 2.5 benchmark from stock to my oc.

    Im no way sure that OCCT is the best thing to test a GPU or anything but, is it really stable through the OCCT test on such a low voltage and 1000mhz core ? If so then i belive you have yourself a keeper there, anyways whats the brand and model on it ? Cheers.

    I'll probably do a 24h stress test again on Monday and post the results. Been playing BF3 all week so never had a chance.
