Amd Volcanic Islands details

Did you read my original post. I said I was talking about if 100% fan speed was necessary to stabilize that overclock?

"I think what we all need to see is power consumption figures and if it takes 100% fan to stabilize those clocks. 100% fan on cards, particularly AMD cards as of late is unusable due to noise."

If it takes 100% fan speed to stabilize that type of overclock, its basically in practice an usable setting due to the noise. Its practicality of the cards I am talking about because I am wondering what kind of fan speed is necessary for the card to remain stable at these types of clocks.

If you looked at those screen shots that were posted, the person overclocking the cards set the fan speed to 100%, so I am wondering if that fan speed is necessary to reach those clocks.

Whenever I am trying to find the maximum usable overclock on a specific card, I always set the fan speed to 100% regardless of if I think the card needs it. I try to eliminate it as a variable right away so I can focus on the core clock and memory speeds inch by inch. I assume most overclockers would do the same if they had limited time with the card as I usually do.

So you're just getting mad about possible noise and being a troll, ok.

If you dont want to run 100% fan speed to run retarded overclocks on air then guess what? DONT.

I dont think hes trolling at all. If you dont spend alot of time with these cards like some of us do, fan speed and noise can be an issue. some video cards need 100% fan speed to run at their maximum overclock and some do not. I had a few graphics cards that didnt seem to matter if you had 70% fan speed or 100%. I found this out because my wife was complaining at me as I was trying to find the maximum overclocks on a pair of GTX 570s I was testing, I was able to lower the fan speed quite a but as I realzed they refused to overclock higher regardless.
