Hey guys!
Not so much an issue, moreso looking for some advice. I'm after clocking my rig to get some serious benchmarking scores, for fun/educational purposes. I'm not entirely new to overclocking, done it a few times before to get a bit more performance from old hardware. But never to such precious hardware. ;)

I've got the cooling to handle it so that isn't an issue, my setup is 1200w PSU, pair of GTX480's with aftermarket cooling, i7 990x and 12GB Vengeance DDR3 all on Rampage Extreme III mobo.

Some screens of current settings;

GPUs are both set to same, I'm just looking for some reccomended settings without pushing it to instability.

Any input appreciated. ^_^

Cheers! :love:

Yeah sure overclocking is annoying at first.

For your graphics card download the MSI afterburner it works for 99% of the cards out their. change the mem clock according to what works for your set up increments of 20

and use CPI-D to monitor the temps

And they will have a MSI kombustor stress test it for one hour to test stability

CPU suggest you to leave it the way it is since you got a 990x hahahah
