Shader setting for 260

Can someone give me a good OC shader setting for my new core 260/216? It's running about 57C at stock so I know there is room. I want to be at max for 100% stability and understand I might have to try a couple to figure out what this card likes. It's the MSI with double fans.
 
I've been experimenting with mine...I have a pair of the evga gtx 260s, and with the EVGA Precision tool, I've gotten them to fold stable at:

GPU Clock: 740 Mhz (626)
Memory: 1200 Mhz (1053)
Shader: 1700 Mhz (1350)

...Factory settings are in parenthesis. Keep in mind, that If I were to run a game on the cards overclocked this high they would crash instantly...But I didn't buy these for gaming :D I've had them running at this speed for 1 week straight now, and haven't had any NANs or EUEs. To be 100% stable while gaming, I take the shaders down to 1500-1600.

Best of luck :D
 
good lord 1700?!?

like he says 1500's

all my OC's are 100% stable folding

1x 192 @ 1566
2x 216 @ 1512

 
Remember that core speeds don't really help that much, so you can probably end up with a better overclock on the shaders by reducing the core speed a bit.
 
I've got it set on 1566 for the time being and it seems stable so far. Currently reporting 7694ppd on a 472 pointer. And yes, the EA380 PS is chugging right along:)
 
OK, I'm greedy. Shader up to 1620. PPD currently 8830 on a 787 pointer. Temp nice and cool at 61C but I have a fan blowing on the open side of the case. This has been an impressive card so far. 3800-4000 ppd faster than 88/98GT with what appears to be little penalty of increased power consumption. I paid $149 for this and $169 for my first 88GT. It's nice to get more for less.
 
Anyone know how to overclock the shaders independently in Linux? I've already got my core up to 710MHz, and I don't know how much higher I can take it while remaining stable (65nm GPU). I'm hitting about 7800PPD on 787-point units right now at 710 core/1512 shaders.
