I got my EVGA 560ti 448 Classified (not the Ultra, welp) up to 900Mhz on stock voltage, no artifacts. I could try to squeeze out some more, but I'm not sure how far to go and I don't want to have to change voltage.

This is a pretty sweet little card, but it does run a bit hot and loud with its non-reference cooling. To anybody else running this card, I'd recommend adding a side intake case fan (if you have the space.) Since adding the side fan to my case, the GPU hasn't gone over 70C under load.

Recently downloaded the most recent EVGA Precision X build and it also reset my overclock to stock. I had a similar reaction to FF, haha.

edit: previous problem solved.

I feel like my VCore is a bit high. I have an i2500k on an ASUS P8P67 REV 3.1 mobo, clocked to 4.2Ghz. At time it's hitting 1.32, at times. Should I be alarmed?
When I OC'ed, I did nothing more than the :effort: of "turbo by all cores 42X" and disabling PLL overvolting. I know the "safe" limit is 1.37, but I feel like I shouldn't even be coming close to that.

From da OP:

Be sure to enable all of your VRM phases. By default, motherboards will operate their VRMs to mimic the 4+1 phase Intel reference design.
I'm using an ASUS P8P67 REV 3.1, which seems to have 12+1 VRM and cannot figure if I need to do this, and if so how. Is this something I can do from UEFI, or do I need to install the dreaded AI Suite II?

Aha! I'm going to switch to Optimized and use the T.Probe, if it isn't already set up that way by default.

I've heard some BAD things about AI Suite, which was why I was hoping to avoid it. Glad I should be able to do this from UEFI.

You guys are the best.

I want to know how people are getting temps like this :( I hit 65 at stock settings on my 3750K with a 212 Evo, and I don't seem to be the only one.
Ambient temperatures can create a big difference in temps, idle or under load. Maybe your room is just hotter?
