Hi there,

I've been dipping my toes into overclocking my GPU lately and I was wondering if you awesome people could give me some tips using MSI Afterburner.

I've been getting a lot of BSOD upping my core clock so far, I've got it running from:

Core Clock: 1080
Mem Clock: 1400

to;

Core Clock: 1150
Mem Clock: 1450

I haven't touched the power limit or the core voltage yet, as I'm unsure what to set them as. But for now it seems stable using Unigene benchmarks and Furmark burn-in tests.

Is there anyone out there with the same card as me who has better results or anyone with some advice regarding afterburner?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :) 

Cheers!

Not gonna make enough of a difference with that card but if you really wanted too you want you voltage as low as possible with the highest clock you can get. Voltage is what makes the cArd run hot so the more voltage you add the hotter it gets. As long as your temps are within range and it passes the tests then it's a good overclock.

So far my temps have maxed out at 59 C with the highest temp being in Furmark, at stock speeds the most I was getting was 55 C. My cooling is pretty good in my case.

So are you saying I should up the voltage in little increments along with the clock and run the tests until i reach its max acceptable temperature?

Well your card will too out on a clock speed. It has a ceiling you will hit unless you did some sort of a custom bios or what not. Once you start to get BSOD or errors using the stock voltage that's when you SLOWLY and in small increments start raising the voltage documenting along the way. Once you find your top clock with the lowest temp and with no errors that's where you stop.
