[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8751727, member: 591582"] So here's where I've gotten so far with my Cities overclocking. I think this is actually Wattman, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. But this is the overclocking software and GPU controls and settings in Radeon's own software and drivers. I really started getting over 50C on my GPU when I passed 900-950 mv or so. I'm way higher up than I thought I would be. This is just so far. Max temps I've seen so far is 54C, and that's absolutely child's play for this GPU. Usually it floats around 49-51 C at this voltage, just depends on how I'm using the game at the moment. [ATTACH type="full" alt="30096"]30096[/ATTACH] Max GPU voltage (at least that Radeon lets you do) is 1.2v or 1200mv. I'm a 1.025v or 1025mv. I started at 0.75v or 750mv, that's the lowest minimum voltage setting. Increasing voltage is about where 95% of the heat seems to come from. Clock speed barely increases heat, it's almost all dependent on voltage. Anyways, I'm so glad I have 10 case fans, the GPU fans start buzzing at around 1400 RPM, so that's as high as I like to run them. The case fans really keep everything super cool. It's giving me a raging clue. [/QUOTE]
