Thanks for the info. I will keep an eye on my VRM's when I start to add more voltage. Rest assured, I will give a VRM temp report.
You may be correct about the chart...
I did get my core up to 756, with my shaders at 1512. Maybe the numbers you can actually lock into are accurate, but as far as how they appear next to each other is off?
I knew that when my Shaders are set to 1296, my system runs rock solid for me, so I went for 1323 on memory. At 1323, it consistantly makes my system re-boot only when running the Cryostasis Tech Demo. All other programs I have tested run fine. That would be ATI tool for over 30 minutes, not 1 artifact ding... Vantage, 3DMark06, Crysis benchmark tool, Crysis the game, UT3, and Dead Space have all passed with flying colors now...
Next I went for 1332 on memory speed. ATI Tool did detect an artifact on me a few days ago when running my memory ar 1332, but now runs error free? I have no explanation.
If any of you 280 guy's set your memory faster than 1323, give that Cryostasis Tech Demo a run and report how it goes.
I think the program dosent like OC?
With my Q6600 @ 3.8GHz, and Single 280 set to: Core=756, Shaders=1512, and Memory=1350, ATI Tool when set to detect artifacts, would give me just 1 ding, about every 2 to 3 minutes, and the artifact timer would reset.
In the name of science, I decided to plow foward anyway...
Vantage ran fine and gave me a new record: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=742410
The Crysis GPU Benchmark also ran fine...

FurMark also didn't have any issues with the OC...
I visually did not see ant artifacts. If ATI Tool would not give me 1 ding every few minutes, I don't even think I would know I had an issue...
If you had 1 ding every few minutes running ATI Tool, but Crysis, Vantage, and FurMark all seem to have no artifacts to the human eye, would you still consider it a valid memory setting to select?
FYI - If your running a single 280 or 285, and you want to see other's Vantage scores, look here:
