Man, I like the Noctua, but fuck, those fans are an eyesore!

[DeltrusDisc]

So I OC'd my GTX 560 Ti to 950 MHz Core clock, 1900 MHz Shader clock, and 4400MHz memory clock. Essentially it's just a bit better than a Hawk now. ^_^

Would it be worth it to try and get the Core clock to 1GHz? Any GPU pros about here at this hour?

[Naididae]

What voltage are you using to reach that? I've been doing 970mhz and 2200 (4400) memory at 1.075v. Would just like someone to compare.

[DeltrusDisc]

The voltage is on automatic - so probably not far off from you.

Mortalis71, is that just your camera or is the screen brightness really low?

[brirrspliff]

3456x1680 resolution. Yes, 2 feet tall by 3 feet wide. 22" screens in Portrait mode.
The glare isn't there. I got free upgrades to the 2209 which fixes that.

needs more bezel! i could never play that way. *shudder*

on topic:
"default" system. i5-2500k, 570gtx superclocked, 27" tft, 16gb ram, ocz vertex3 ssd.

Had to wait extra 2 weeks to save the money to get a 80gold corsair 850w modular power supply. Great investment

I was gonna suggest a Seasonic X-850 but christ that thing is expensive...

[Platinus]

Why do you all have so small desks!? Mine's 2 meters wide!

It's full of crap tho..

1 monitor, 1 laptop, 2 keyboards, Nordea bank card reader, plates, one of my brothers toy, a box of cables. YOU NAME IT!

Limit the usage of CAPS (capital letters), color, and special fonts.

What are you using to overclock? Assuming you're using MSI Afterburner... afaik "automatic" should mean stock voltages.... in which case you should be able to hit 1GHz. Try getting a voltage readout (might have to select "unlock voltage monitoring", or use GPU-Z) to see how much headroom you have.

Either way, I'm jelly of your card's overclockability. My 580's poor reference cooler gets louder than I'd like when I overclock my GPU over 800Mhz (maybe I should slap on an aftermarket cooler /chinscratch)

And caps locked for EASIER reading

I'm still saving and waiting until I move, so I'll have something new build in March, can't wait.

[Mortalis71]

I like how they look

Mortalis71, is that just your camera or is the screen brightness really low?

It's the camera(bad camera, I have to put flash or I can't see anything even with alot of light)

What. You people and your crazy tastes. The Noctua fans are goodlooking, and the only reason I still have them on my NH-D14 (they are loud​).

"Why so power?" - Bad memes aside, it's a bit much for two 6870s.
I put together a build (ie, shopping list) for a friends' friend (and step-by-step logs of the build will appear in pictures on the forums when I build it together), and I intend to run two GTX 560 Ti's on a 650w PSU.

Ick, reference! :P Yes, slap on something else. And yeah, it's ridiculous, the 560 Ti stock Core clock is 800MHz.... I've practically OC'd it 20% already. 1GHz would be about 25%.

Yeah, I'm planning to get probably the Corsair AX 650 Watt (since tigerdirect.com doesn't have seasonic, and I have a $30 gift card for that site still lying around) and that power supply will probably power a couple 560 Ti's in SLI later on down the road.

But SLI 560ti's have like 415W power draw with load alone.

HP Pavilion dv5-1060ew <- nuff said ;p

[tetrisGOAT]

But SLI 560ti's have like 415W power draw with load alone.

The whole build will draw 501w.
Each GTX 560 Ti draws 'round 170w. That's 340w together. Where would the other 75w come from?
So I took 650w to have overclocking headroom and for "future considerations!".
There's no reason to go crazy. "More is not always better."

[DeltrusDisc]

What is the easier way to check how much wattage my computer is pulling out of the wall, anyways? I mean with the OC'ing the 560 Ti and if I were to ever get a second, I really wonder how much more it is drawing.
