GPU underclocked from factory!

[dipayan102]

I have stumbled across a strange problem. Recently i bought a new desktop. I purchased SPARKLE GTX 560 non-ti GPU. After a few days of purchase, i found out that the card was actually underclocked from factory. It was running at 720/1000. However, according to NVIDIA website, the normal clock for the card is 810/1025... or something lyk that! So, I overclocked it from 720/1000 to 800/1050. As soon as i did that, I found that the temperatures are now reaching to 85C! Is this normal for a gtx 560 non-ti card? I mean... according to NVIDIA website, Im still running the card at clock speeds below normal...considering that....isnt the temperature a little too high? Did this have something to do with SPARKLE cards?? I find ppl posting in different forums that they overclock their GTX 560's to 950/1200 without ne trouble!! Cant i do that with my card??

what kind of desktop is it?
it sounds like it might be from a big manufacturer such as Dell or HP.
the reason behind underclocking might be the temps as you have experienced yourself

Its assembled! I did a lot of research and assembled dis machine. I agree that the temps might be a rsn that this card was underclocked from factory....but that doesnt really explain y wud the temperatures rise so much at the normal clock speeds that NVIDIA has meant it to perform at! Is SPARKLE known for making shitty cards like this? Shall it be safe if i overclock my GTX 560 to higher levels ignoring the fact that it was actually "underclocked" from factory?!
