Hi,
I have recently purchased an XFX HD 7850(single fan). I switched out the heat sink for an "Arctic Cooling Accelero TWIN TURBO II". Since then my gpu temps have been around 53 degrees at load (down from 67 degrees on stock heatsink). With these temps I want to overclock my card. Here are its stock settings:
Clock 860 MHz
Mem 1200 MHz
Voltage 1.138v
I would like to achieve an OC of:
Clock 1000 MHz
Mem 1300 MHz
To achieve stability at this level I have to increase the voltage to around 1.1681. Temps at this voltage stay under 59 degrees on load.
My question is, what are the effects of increasing voltage to this level? eg. will it dramatically degrease GPU life?
Thanks
