*** Official Radeon HD5800 Series Overclocking Thread ***

1125 seems to be the highest Core I can bench at. Not too bad of an overclock. Also, that is with the EK block on water at 1.35v.

Thanks utnorris! How hot are the vrms? Can you show a few instances of GPU-Z?

You should always clarify, on "chilled" water ;-) - A lot of readers do not measure their water-temps, so they have no point of reference with your 21c.

True, but it is in my sig and usually most GPU only loops are not that far above ambient with a triple rad. But I will in the future. The only reason I give the water temp is so people know the delta between water temp and the actual GPU temp just in case they were considering the EK block. I am sure you can appreciate this since you make a water block for the HD5870 also. I will list the fact that it is a water chiller in the future for reference.

As far as my VRM's, not sure, but all three temps from Everest are within 2c of each other. Look on the far right of my SS and you will see them in the list.

Hi! Are these temperatures on Voltage regulators scary?

Very scary. With no load looks like it's going to melt under load. I'd go back to stock cooler till the problem is fixed.


Also nice 3dMark06 score. I'm just a little higher. (with Q9550@4.3ghz)
Your CPU has an advantage and I'm sure with some over clocking your can hit 26,000+

They are designed to work at up to 110 C afaik.
Temps are high, but not horrible. I'd get worried if they started going over 80 C, though.
And he isn't the only one.
See here. Pretty close. Just a random link that took 30 seconds to find.
But if it's going over 80 C under load, then I agree, definitely, look into the problem, it's not normal IMO.

Thats the max Temps during 3 Loops of 3dmark06. At idle they stay between 38~42ºC.

That's okay then!
Not going to kill your card for sure. Just a bit warmer than for most folks here. Maybe disassemble the cooler to check if everything is fine if temps start rising.

Your GPU-Z screen shot shows it ideling with o% load. Your GPU core isn't that hot but your other temps look hot.
