[un]official GTX580 Overclocking Thread

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Tinyest screen shot ever ...............does that say 5000MHz (55x100) @ 1.50v ? If so, nice run. If not, damn you for making me seem like I am optically challenged.

5500 at 1.56, sorry for the tiny ss, but it seem as though the forum is doing the resizing as I just tried to upload the original and it comes out the same size, any ideas?

[andressergio]

yes but when you pick on the pic should link u to imageshack to see it bigger G, it happening to all of us that its autorezided to that but at least if you pick on the screen will send you to imgshack and see it bigger

btw very nice chip !

cheers

as for this 2500k it is nice, 5100 stable with 1.44 and 140glfops, I wish my GTX 580 clocked as good as this chip

veryyy nice man grats !

[andressergio]

this is the setup i use to bench the cards on air CPU on water

this DELTA AFB 120x120x38 is pumping nice air and cards at 100%










btw i achieved 991 core 2300 mem i will post soon

cheers to all
Sergio

great cole 1015 core wow

Cards just need low temperature. I hope at least 1030 on water for 3DM11.

tried on XP and results are worse wtf !

well my W7x64 SP1 i deployed maself usin RTLITE and it only uses 5,5GB of HD, its not intended to bench but for game, i took out all crap drivers, services, games, voice recog, wdefender, tablet pc, 1zillion printer and scanners etc its runing as a charm.

cheers

Paste some SS.

very nice cole u need a HAFX so last card goes up no so close to PSU but with waterblock goes ok

i just raided my 2 SSD so bye XP my deploy of W7x64 SP1 is flying so no need to

cheers mate
Sergio

[cole2109]

No need for bigger case. Lower card has 5°C less.

[andressergio]

guys a quick question i was offered a brand new EVGA 580 vanila 1.065 vid from a friend that he didnt event tested it as he saw vid and he got mad and took it out...i cant find any good info on a GTX580 of this vid...mines are 1v and clock awesome that one could clock at least 900 ?

cheers all
Sergio

1.065vid above 900 is cherry on top of the cake

I'm surprised that the PSU can support such heavy OC. How did you connect the graphics cards to the rails? HX1000 is said to be essentially a pair of 500W PSUs, and the GTX580 sharing the same +12V rail with the CPU would likely suffer from power shortage if the +12 rail cannot overload to 600W 42Amps. My own HX1000 failed to power up a pair of EVGA GTX580 1.5GB about 6 months ago, even when I didn't overclock those GTX580s at all. The one sharing the same +12V rail with the CPU simply got blown. I've found several cases on the internet so I'm not alone with this problem, and this is why I eventually went for AX1200 for single rail.

just played a little with the GTX

very nice sauron they're for that

THX Sergio. i think there is a little more space to go up more, but curr. the ambient temp is around 26,5°, so i´ve to wait for some cooler days also have to find another sandy.. this one is only 53x

max GPU temp after bench have been 40°.

put a fan like i do at the back if you want to bench at vga fan at 100%

lol 53x is nice man mine is 54x and tops on 5450mhz but i had so much fun with it im waiting to get a x56 or so but is very difficult

cheers keep OC'
Sergio

[Sauron_Vie]

yep, during the bench i have one scythe ultra kaze in front of the card and another beside.. keeping so the mem cool.

yea, it is hard to find a great SB clocker with 55 or 56 multi. had a 54x before but this one died with the board. (asus pro had a short circuit) so maybe a will get a better one from the RMA.


thx again and cheers

But the efficiency is cra...y

[NapalmV5]

nice 1050 clock Sauron_Vie get another one and sli

those of you on sandy bridge+580 sli what are you guys getting in bfbc2 ?

reading thru the bf3 thread got me to load up bc2.. still very purdy

heres my clocks/settings

i7 980x @ 4.86ghz
580 sli (2x) @ 1000/2300
hq ambient occlusion
2x sgssaa
-3 lod bias
1080p

[Sauron_Vie]

thx guys yup, i´am thinking about getting a second card and go for sli then, but first i´ve to find a better cpu. 53x can´t be the end


keep pushing guys

Sauron_Vie

imho you have bad efficiency (for clocks you have set)
I have 8600+ marks @ 1010 GPU/1200 mem with 5.5GHz 2600K
Work on it...

thx for info... which os and nforce ?

[KUBA_TM]

Drivers 275.33, Win7 X64

[Sauron_Vie]

ok, there is the diff... i´am on the same driver but on my good old vista x64 for 24/7...

[NapalmV5]

much improved performance after mobo power management adjustment
