Novuake :
If you keep voltages at stock and keep temps lower than 90C, then VERY LITTLE effect on the lifetime is aparent. If you increased voltages, expect a shorten lifespan but no one can say by how much.
When it comes to voltages Im really confused... In the TRIXX OC software it shows 1.187 voltage (load voltage) but when i press reset in the TRIXX software it changes voltage to 1.256 (with stock clocks). Soo should this be the stock voltage for my card? I searched the web and some say you should keep under 1.25 voltage... others say that that is the stock voltage.
Can anyone who owns a Sapphire 7870 XT tell me stock voltage and safe temps?
People say that safe temps for this card is around 80-90c. Mine only reaches 64c during load. VRM temps go up to 82c. Which should i worry/not worry about?
