Beside, 1.212V should get you somewhere between 1267mhz and 1308Mhz stable overclock if you have adequate cooling. Beyond that, you definitively get diminishing returns. By hammering your silicon that hard, you will shorten the life of your card and/or it will at some point rapidly fail to clock as high as it used to. I seriously doubt you are after benchmark world record with only a GTX 660 and benchmark record would be the only reason to go beyond 1.212V in my opinion.

How much further beyond 1300Mhz would you be able to go anyway? 1350? 1400? Stable? For what? 2-3 more FPS? If it would be possible to volt it at 1.5V and reach 1800Mhz stable without melting the GPU, that would be another story. I'm pretty confident 1300Mhz is already the practical limit of this silicon for every day use and long term preservation.

BTW, anyone knows what is the absolute clock record, stable or not, for a GTX 660? Anyone reached 1400Mhz for example?
