Hello all, I just picked up an XFX 5870 that should be delivered on Tuesday. Currently on my i7 920 I'm running a modest OC of 3.0GHz. Will this be enough to fully utilize the 5870 @ Stock speeds? Or should I push for more?
The reason I ask, is because I'm having some trouble getting this processor stable at much over this speed (older C0). I have a Prolimatech Megahalems with just a push configuration (motherboard heatsinks won't allow for push/pull). Temps are good, but I'm failing to get a better clock. I'm sure due to user error.
I'm otherwise content with this overclock for right now, but not so if I'm going to hold back the 5870.
Thanks for any help or input.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'll be gaming @ 1920x1200.
