Hi again im new to overclocking my gpu.

firstly my specs:
intel core 2 quad q8400
4gb ddr 2 kingston ram
asus gtx 260 216
and a haff coolermaster with 10 fans :D

so far my overclock is around here;
core clock: 702MHz
shader clock 1401MHz
memory clock 1233MHz
i havent changed any vlotages.
Can you plz give me the max voltage for this gpu?
And also tell me what a safe voltage for this card should be/
looking forward to your help cheers for now.
this is stable as far as i know well acording to msi kombustor
 
The max voltage of a GTX 260 is around 1.2V, I'd stay a bit lower than that. The maximum temperature for the GPU is 105C, but you really do not want to go anywhere near there - 80C or lower is recommended, under 70C is better.

You Shouldnt Really Have Any Temp issues with a case Like That.
But As Lmeow Says Keep it Under 80'C And Everything Will Be fine.

Nice OC on your GPU...

Dont go to crazy With The voltages!

Good Luck!:D

I just d/l MSI afterburner for my XFX 5770s yesterday for the monitoring in the task bar. I found that voltage monitoring was not supported for my cards in the READ ME file. I have access to the voltage control, but no monitoring. Give the READ ME file a gander, bet it is in there.
