that’s what I like the least about this board

@P_Anarchist What kind of temperatures are you seeing at peak load? I’m honestly a touch leery of pushing my cards since they’re sandwiched together so closely.

I’m not an expert at all, but I do t think you should have any issues, assuming you have some decent cooling for it. I can’t remember what version you have, but I’d it’s EVGA they have some pretty good built in cooling IIRC (ACX 2.0)

@ThatOneGuy23 I suppose it depends on what you mean by issues, I could certainly overclock them to some extent with no real impact, but the amount is significantly lower than in a setup with better cooling. And yeah, the coil whine doesn’t appear to be present in this cooler.

Nice overclocking, you honestly made me try overclocking my AMD Radeon HD 7770 a little farther, since I left it at the values that I had it on in my old case/motherboard. I now have it at 1125MHz for both the Core clock, and Memory clock. Not stable, though, so I’m still playing around with the values.
[/quote]That’s the trick really, getting higher clocks but keeping them stable.
IIRC from an article I read you can possibly help make them be more stable by allowing a higher power amount and/or increase the voltage a little but it seems both of those are more of a flip of a coin on whether it’ll actually help stabilize stuff or not.

[/quote]~70-75 C for GPU1 and 80 C for GPU2 but that’s only when both are being pushed to around 100%. Thus far I’ve left the GPUs fans on auto in MSI Afterburner but they haven’t gone above 50% I think so I could up it to a manuel 65 or so (70 and up starts to make too much noise and given that I’m not the only one in the room I should try to be considerate but according to the manu’s website 95 is the highest tolerable amount so I’ve got a little bit of a temp buffer before nuclear meltdowns and stuff happens)

Yeah, I know. I’m only pushing 60 C on this thing, with a slightly higher voltage. It’ll probably be stable at 1115MHz, though. I’m going to try that now.

Just realized I didn’t give any actual numbers that are relevant to non 780 people with Afterburner (what speed is it going at in Mhz)
Max Core Clock recorded is 1176 MHz for GPU 1&2
Max Memory Clock recorded is 3100 MHz for GPU 1&2
Not trying to brag, just posting specs to compare with other.

Yeah, I know. I personally use Sapphire Trixx for the fact that I can change voltage in it, unlike MSI Afterburner.

What? I think you can (or at least it allows me to for my card) but if you found a program that definitely allows you to that’s good enough right?

Nah, the Radeon HD 7770 isn’t supposed to allow you, so MSI Afterburner disables that option. Sapphire Trixx has some annoying bugs, like only being able to overclock if it starts after Catalyst Control Center (AMD’s drivers). But, it gets the job done well enough, I suppose. It’s just annoying if my overclock causes my drivers to crash, then restart, because it brings my clocks down to their bases, and the only way around that is to log off, and back on for me.

Nintendo never sent me a Monster Hunter 4 demo code :h
I’ve gotten every other email like “check out the new new 3ds m8” but no demo code :c
