Why not 2200 on the mem ? Set the vcore to 1.1 , core to 900mhz and mem to 2200mhz . Quick and easy .

I want another 580 :P Hopefully I can persuade my dad over the next 2 months ;)

I can just imagine it ... i7 920 at 4.115Ghz dominating with two EVGA GTX580's overclocked at 950 , 1900 and 2250 at 100% fan speed on 1.15v :woot:

This thread is fantastic. I was in hysterical laughter while I read the first post :D

 

Once I get my new parts (Shouldn't be much into May), I'll join in the fun ;)

Nyt...*sighs* you are the limit.

First you trade in your GPU for a 580 then your x6 for a 920 then you want sandy bridge now you want a second 580. I bet your running your dads pocket dry. Why not join the real world and earn your equipment. You get more satisfaction that way, knowing i earned that, its completely mine no-one else can do anything with it and i can do what i like, fry it or baby it with no one to tick me off about wasting their money.

Just my $00.2 :biggrin:

here is the best I could get with my screwed up video card in 3dmark 11.. was able to get it to run at 840/1900 but was getting a couple artifacts in gpu test 2 and it would crash in 3dmark vantage at these clocks.

this is with cpu at 4.0Ghz and video cards at stock clocks.

These cards are killing my benchmark motivation :yucky: ... I will post more benches later.

Time to get yourself 2x GTX580's OR for the same price, 1x 6990 and 1x 6970 for Tri-Fire goodness!

I would love to have 2 580's but I just can't bring myself to spend $1000 when I just paid $800 for these 480's about 6 months ago. And AMD is a no no since I fold more than I do about anything else.
