Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

My ram isnt sitting at 1.1GHz 24/7....but the core does 400MHz completely artifact free all day long.....my max load temp is about 68C. I have a 120mm intake blowing right on the card.....85cfm worth too....so that's helping me out quite a bit. My stock clock temps are 49C idle and 66C load.....I think I idle at about 52C at 400core.
Nobody can really say how much higher the card can be safely overclocked, the majority will hit Ultra clocks (even my generic Inno3d) or somewhere close....but nothing is for sure. Once you clear 400Mhz on the core I would start "moving" much slower if you're going to keep raising it.....as the thermal throttling tends to kick in for me kind of sporatically. I can (unstably) clock my core up to about 430MHz right now, but it gets to 71C and locks up from the thermal protection on the card. Even with my "not so heard of " Inno3d card it is merely temps limiting me.....and I'm curious to see how much farther I can take this thing.
As I said, my thermal throttling tends to kick in and either slow down or lock up the card once I get up to 60C or so.....my core never goes above 68C at 400Mhz right now so its safe.....but anything higher then 410 or so and its hit and miss whether itll last long enough to get me through any benchies.
I'm honeslty not sure if its a general thing for when the throttling kicks in, or if some brands of cards are different......but I'd REALLY like to be able to completely disable it somehow. I know what I'm doing with my card, and I can tell when I'm approaching its limits, so for me personally I really have not nearly asm uch use for the throttling as someone not as experienced might.
It might soudn kinda far out, but if anyone knows of any way to disable the throttling (even though I HIGHLY doubt it can be done) please......do tell.
