Hi, I purchased the modestly OC'd (820MHz) version of the MSI 560 ti a week ago or so, just got it today, and am overclocking, or at least trying to. I can get it to about 950MHz on stock voltage, but to get to 970MHz I have to up the voltage to 1.037 volts and turn the fan to 100%. My only problem is heat, it seems. I have been stability testing this with Furmark 1.9 I believe, with dynamic background, burn in, Xtreme burn in, and post processing enabled, and I can never seem to get stability with my card. the temps will jump up to 86 degrees C and the card shuts down and I have to force shut down, after my mobo's beep code tells me that there is no VGA connected. I thought that the Twin Frozrs were good OC cards, yet I cannot seem to even get to 970 without heat problems. My case should be no matter either, I have a HAF 932 with the 230mm side fan blowing right at the card. Am I doing something wrong? how did the people get to 1GHz+ clocks with no problems?
I'm beginning to wonder if the power supply could be causing any problems, it is a 700 watt XION brand. could the no name brand not be supplying enough amperage to my card, causing the shutdowns?
My computer specs, just in case:
2600k with stock cooler(NH-D14 in the mail)
ASUS Sabertooth p67
8gb (4x2Gb) Corsair XMS3 1600MHz RAM
MSI GTX560 ti Twin Frozr II (the 820MHz version)
Mushkin Callisto 120Gb SSD
XION 700w PSU
