are u using the factory cooler cause if u are good luck and btw even on high end air cooling 1.5vlts is definitly not long term voltage mines at 3.6@1.43 every chip is different tho

Im using a Zalman 120mm cooler on it

Reply to ryanb213

well try it out but every chip is different, and make sure ur fsb:memory ratio is 1:1

Your voltages are way too high, I get 3.4 with mine at around 1.35-7. I wouldn't suggest anything over 1.45 unless your watercooling. There is no way the 780 has that much vdroop that you need such a high voltage. I'd get your voltages under control before you continue to 3.4.

voltage are too high.. i'm on 3.6 at 1.45v. Nvidia chips aren't that good in OCing.

stfu nvidia chipsets are pretty good my Q6600 is at 3.9ghz@1.43 on a 680ilt mobo, nvidia chipsets just have bad vdrop eg in the bios it says im at 1.5065 but im at 1.43

I've hit 3.4 with my q6600 using 1.375v. I've also got a 780i mobo. check out my posts with settings i used...

I'm about to upgrade my cooler (when my AS5 arrives) and temps should decrease dramatically. I found the biggest difference was increasing the voltage to my ram and NB due to the higher FSB - i'm using 425x8 btw.

All is working well at 3.4ghz although i had a couple of problems due to my graphics card.

nvidia chipsets aren't as good as intel chipsets at OCing i think was the point.

nividia chipsets have gotten a lot better from the 580/680 days.

remember the 680 is 2 yrs old, if it was still the king of ocing that would mean intel sucks

I know I couldnt even get my pc to post without having the vcore 1.4 or higher.

Just for reference heres what i had to run for 3.2 ghz

FSB 1600
