    6800GT wont take higher voltage, same old sh*t

    The point, obviously, is to find a solution to the problem, or at least understand why this is happening. I think I've figured it out thanks to a reply from another forum. Basically, PCIe 6800GTs can handle more power because they have an extra mosfet on the card and take a more powerful PCIe...

    6800GT RAM overclocking

    Its a waste of time right now because with better cooling the RAM oc will go up. Just wait for your new cooler, add some RAMsinks and autodetect; its simple as that. Eh, I cant blame you tho, sometimes I like to oc for no practical reason when Im board :p

    6800GT RAM overclocking

    Well, I havent exactly tried it any higher. As I said before, the core oc is much more important. 1Mhz core give about 10+ points in 3DMark05, 1Mhz mem almost nothing, about 2+ points if that. So thats why I dont worry about mem too much and focus on the core oc. I only worry about mem oc...

    6800GT RAM overclocking

    456/1216 Of course its detected low in 3DM05 as 1215. Detected as 1.22 in coolbits2 (they round up I guess) and 1216 rivatuner.

    6800GT RAM overclocking

    I max at 1216. The RAM doesnt get much higher, nor should you worry about it too much, the core oc is much more important. Look at the 3DMark05 record holders, http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=700844 with the RAM at only 1300 with liquid nitrogen cooling. So you cant expect much...

    Modded my 6800GT's BIOS.....happy as Heck

    I also own a PNY. Right now youre dealing with a cooling issue. If you get some better cooling on that card you can hit 440 easy on stock voltage, but dont execpt the card to like higher voltage.

    Screw came off of Silencer 5?

    Hmm, lets not let this thread die so fast, I want to hear some more NV5 horror stories.

    Modded my 6800GT's BIOS.....happy as Heck

    Im not doubting your claim, Id just like to compare scores since 440 is a very good oc. What was your max in 3Dmark05?

    Screw came off of Silencer 5?

    I had that EXACT same problem, I had to RMA to newegg the first day and pay $11.50 return shipping :mad: The NV5 is a crap product, stick to the Zalman 700. This crap happens all the time with the NV5, sooner or later someone is going to fry a $400 card!
