I have a Geforce 660 SC running at 1188 max boost and 6800 RAM.
To get it to run like this with basically no issues, however, I have my voltage at 1.212 (hardware limit) and with the help of a custom bios, I upped the default and max power, so I have it set from the default max (110%) up to about 178%.
According to EVGA PrecisionX, it's even hitting this limit, hovering around 173% in a Bioshock Infinite test. At 73C. (The fan is 1:1 with the card's temp.)
So my question is about power:
As I understand it, the 6-pin power connector is only allowed so much current by the PSU, and I understand the SC series of cards may have Voltage Regulator issues.
By bumping the card's power maximum this high, am I damaging the VRM's or that particular 12v line on my PSU? (PCP&C Silencer 750W)
