    yes but be careful plz... don't burn your card!!

    One thing i have see in my system.: the temp of mossfetts heat.. really high when i increase voltage ( voltage regultaor up in genral at same level of the memory)..be careful when use voltage increase.. if your card is not cool enough.. you will have some problem...

    what are your voltage regulator temps under load ?

    At stock without modification, it's 44°C idle, the problem ( if it's a prob), is it go up to more 60°C in full load..( with voltage software mod).
    I use the DFI NF4 SLI DR and the fan of chipset is jut on the mossfet, second thing for refresh the chip of the DFI i have aluminum 120mm fans, a big perf fan blow on the chip, this permit to refresh the DFI chip.(45°C-> 28-30°C) but pehrpas this is a problem.. I ask me too if the ATI don't have a system like the 7800 with the 3point clock ( so a ratio is needed for OC the card fine)
    But i like have the 11K some days after buy the card...

    place a fan blowing down on video card or blowing from behind so it cools board chipset as well as voltage regulator it can help somewhat i never got higher than 52-55C load temps on voltage regulator on regular air... with portable aircon blowing over the area now it's 42-44C load

    I see.txs... But pehraps my PSU is not enough when i OC a lot on the ATI no problem at stock (700/800), but the CPU / memory OC in full load, and now the ATI, should take a lot of power, the Hiper is enough in normal condition, but with my 2 Circuits of water, with 4 radiators and 4x Fans minimum on each... The led UV external and internal etc... it can begin do a too much, so pehraps i cam e close to the limit and the variation on 12V caused by this, cause this random crash.. I have see a strange message when crash...giving by 3Dmark: the "display have changed"!!
    Any idea of what can be the cause? (clock speed reduced pehraps and caused by a alert or a variation on core or mem voltage...)

    Nice this 11'380 score !!! good job and allways in air!!!

    I've just flashed my BIOS after having overclocking problems to see if it can cure it

    My card is being so weird that whenever Overdrive in CCC sets the card at 690/797 speeds it locks up and suffers from flashing textures in the 3DMark05 benchmark especially in the forest test

    When I flashed there's less flashing textures in the forest test but it's getting on my nerves



    Above is the statistics of my card during the benchmark and it looks fine to me . My case temperature is 30C which is fine

    Can anyone offer help please?

    I've got the 109-A52031-20 PCB version if that helps
