Hey, So I know there's info everywhere for safe Volts & Watts on a 6950 (2-2.5v) but what im wondering is this volt limit is still the same, safe ceiling if:
The 6950 2gb + Unlocked Shaders + 20% Pwr in CCC + Disabling ULPS + Upping the volts on the Gpu up to 1.2v (not at that just limit I feel comfortable as a ceiling)... + HyperTrans O.C. to 2424 + Fsb 2424 + 1.4v added to CPU (955xII BE OC 3.93ghz)...
Will watts on the GPU be effected by the Volts on the CPU or the HT/FSB Speed increase? I have a 850HTX Corsair PSU. Im not talking about drawing too much from the PSU, I mean the GPU getting overpowered with these settings... and the volts on the CPU affecting anything cumulatively...
I Have a 790fxta-ud5 MB and have oc the Fsb + HT to 2424mhz to open the pipeline for the ddr3 1600 ram (3xFsb), (Ive read the HT doesn't really need to be that high and can have adverse effects on GPU but figured they matched at 2000mhz stock so to do the same on the oc. Also it's what was done in tutorial I watched on a similar board for my first OC. Im up for suggestions I just want to make sure when Im reading "safe volts for 6950 is 2-2.5" and wattage limits etc, are not going to be surpassed with this setup, especially with the CPU volts at 1.4v and HT/FSB being OC... What is safe to overclock the GPU to in this scenario including the Vram... Just wanna b sure... seems like a case fan died after my OC could just be coincidence... Sorry if its many questions in one thread but Im OC my GPU today and wanna play safe but would like 900-940 core on the 6950 and squeeze in the 1300-1400 on the VRAM. Thanks in advance.
- Oh and btw its a the shader unlock using my own bios not a 6970 bios flash
