Using EVGA precision and upping my fan to 85% with 800Mhz GPU core, 2Ghz shader, and 2.1Ghz mem I didn't go over 65C (at 100% fan I didn't go over 59C), and it was only moderately stable, so I infer it's not a cooling issue.
I have a corsair TX650w PSU rated for 52A on the 12v rail, so I don't think it's a PSU problem either. My setup runs stable at stock settings.
So I guess I have 2 questions: what do I need to do to get this OC stable, and if it's really not possible, is there any reason to get water cooling because I'd only need it for an even higher OC?
Also, does anyone think it could be a voltage issue at that point of OCing and what I could do to increase the GPU and mem voltages on this card?
