I was curious what higher CPU OC will give 3-sli.
Previous benching done with 4.43, this time I pushed to 4.67 and results were good.

All 480s @875, 1950mem, 1.088 volts.

and run for fun, PhysX ON:

Alright luke what overclocking tool do you use exclusively? Everyone seems to be getting higher overclocks on less voltage and I think it has to do with the PWM voltage tweak that keeps voltage droop from dropping, I'm not exactly sure which program performs this voltage tweak! Also what are your cards reporting temp wise for all three?

NvidiaInspector only and obviously nibitor for bios cooking.

Highest through benches ~52C, that's with rig under the desk.
Much less with 24/7 volts (1.025) pulled out

How do you get the fan to stay at say 70%, it seems like NvidiaInspector will not apply the fan setting after reboot or after a shutdown...? Is there a setting other than the Vcore voltage that helps your overclock?

I'm under water so I only used Inspector for benching sessions and for settings clock voltages just BIOS mod - no need for fans for me

It seems the newer version fixes the fan setting bug.
