GTX580: 1.025VID: 950/1900/2300: stock cooler: guaranteed?!?

[X4er0]

1.163v.

So 1.163 will be available when the GPU needs it but just like GPU-Z says it will normally use 1.121 - 1.129V for stability (the 1.121 - 1.129 was during furmark)

That's a software reading, you set it lower and GPU-Z will show it even even lower.

Here's mine Palit@EVGA bios on stock cooler@85%
Can run 975@1150mv and 1000@1.2V ... 1020 no go even@1.213

Guys with my Asus GTX580 I can't go past 900Mhz core. It always freeze with first 3DMark2011 test. Is it possible?

I tried @ 1.138V!

Damn, I found it is "fan" related. Setting it @85% let me to go last test (with freeze ).

Is my GTX580 damn bad or do I have a temp. problem?

This is the screenshot from NVIDIA Inspector:




I think I have found the reason. @1.05V as in the screenshot it goes @95°C after 5 min. of stress test.

So the question is: is the stock cooler so bad?

[herderien]

i thing 95° is really hot, specially with only 1,05 volts.

mine is just too noisy when i push the card too far, it can handle the Mhz, but i cannot handle the noise, i'm hesitating to go for AC accelero Xtreme, don't know if memory cooling will be as good as it is today...

Could you please post your GPU Tool ( http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads...Preview_1.html ) after few minutes of stress test (full screen)?

Not every 580 clocks @ 950 with only 1.025v...

Mine goes up to 875 with 1.025v (stock volts)
After that I think I will have to raise voltage, I'm on an Accelero Xtreme Plus so I can handle a little more voltage without problems.

i will asap

Guys, do I need to flash my 580 to get higher voltages or just use the unlocked AB? Or both?

My current 580 is lucky to bench at 930 maxed out 1.138v but I have another one coming that should be better so I want to do some SLi runs while I have both then sell the weaker one. The I will lean on the better one with mods and an mcw80 .

Any help would be great.

here's my afterburner screen after 5 mins of furmark :

Thanks mate... so just 80°C... which is your case? Good airflow?

[herderien]

cooler is not reference design and case is ANTEC P180

Nice 5.3Ghz 1.47 in bios Vantage run!

[NapalmV5]

hey guys hows it going?

never got to post pix of the whole system put together

UD9 : 9 Water Blocks : 9,000$

[cole2109]

Where do u have your radiator? Load temp.?

[El Gappo]

That's some expensive carpet.

[NapalmV5]

Where do u have your radiator? Load temp.?

2 rooms down.. 1st radiator+360mm fan offloads the heat before it gets to the 2nd radiator submerged in water.. thinking of adding a 3rd radiator this one refrigerated

cpu load @ 60/low 60s
gpu load @ anywhere from 30s-50s

for the last few weeks i havent bothered to check on temps at all.. am just enjoying the system

It's not implied that you will get 950mhz on 1.025v rather, if you own a GTX 580 who's stock voltage is 1.025v then you can get 950mhz guaranteed with a voltage tweak.

My Vantage score is P34400 with a Core i7 950 @ 4.21ghz and GTX 580 @ 950/4400. on default Performance test. I would imagine your score should be higher right?? My CPU scored 72700 so that is why its higher, GPU was slightly lower than yours though. Take a look at page 19, that's where my post is at.

Hugo thats with physics off and the cpu doing the physics instead!

Gpu Physics on 5Ghz run!

Nice, that's what I was expecting. I was perplexed by the score given that all my components were running slower than yours, the physics setting will do it hehe.

Guys, I just flashed a Galaxy 580 with the Asus bios and everything seems good except during first tests in XP the 3D06 SM2.0 score is highest at stock clocks and drops every time I increase the clock speed, what would cause this?

3800 782/1564/2004 27880 (10470-13598-7880)

3800 800/1600/2004 28045 (10277-13972-7880)

3800 820/1640/2004 27548 (9717-14003-7862)

I tried a cpu overclock in case of a limitation showing and got the same trend, just a higher score:

4500 782/1564/2004 32443 (12267-15690-9231)

4500 800/1600/2004 32208 (12021-15655-9262)

Hey guys,

My bday is coming up before the end of march and I think I'll gift my self a GTX580 ( coming from a GTX285 ) Altho my brand optios are extremely limited to whats locally available in my place but Im looking at something like Palit, Inno3d, EVGA and probably Asus/MSI.
Seems like a fairly decent speed upgrade from my GTX285, currently Im looking at the Palit model which shows a non reference dual fan cooling on their website, gotta confirm it with the retailer first.

I've back read a few pages and it seems that lower stock VID = higher possible clocks, I havent been able to narrow down the average overclock.. Would it be around 900-950core ?

Guys I have a PNY 580 here with 1.000 stock, that should be a good candidate for water right?

Right. It also should be a good candidate for over 1GHz core speed.
