Does raising Core Voltage increase heat HD 6850

[starravier]

im using a Sappire Hd 6850 Toxic 820/1100 (stock)

Im currently at 910/1200

i was wondering if i increase my Core Voltage does the card get hotter as a sign of it working?

Provide screenshots of your specs so i can see

If you increase the speed it is obviously gonna become hotter.

yeah it definatley will, personally I do not like increasing the core voltage and I would say that 910/1200 is pretty good for stock volts, just make sure you monitor temps...

 

[jaguarskx]

Yes. More voltage equals more heat. Even if you do not increase the core speed.

 

[kss207rc]

Yes as the guys said it will increase heat regardless if you oc or not oc.Generally by increasing voltage you can achieve a higher and more stable overclock(if you know what you are doing).

im tryna push to 1k for core havent had artifacts yet so we shall see. And what would u define as stable. No artifacts, no ridiculous heat, crashes, etc.

heat = power - work done. for the most part, more power = more heat

power scales linearly with clock rate, so 10% high clock rate = 10% more power.

power scares with the square of the voltage, so a 10% increase in voltage is a 21% increase in power

have fun ruining your 6850 no just kidding but sometimes the extreme oc's are not worth it imo... why not just buy a faster card to start off with if that is the performance you desire? either way make sure you know what you are doing and good luck

 

[Kewlx25]

as long as your don't overheat your chip and you stay under +10% voltage, it's nearly impossible to ruin it from overclocking. Unless you have an nVidia chip with a weak vrm

 

[jjb8675309]

yeah there are have been plenty of boards throughout the years from both sides with poor vrm cooling, but you are right about the moderate voltage tweaking

 

[starravier]

Well its core temp runs between 50-60Max now running at
1.2 V 1000/1200

 

[jjb8675309]

nice now test for long term stability and let us know if you have any crashouts
