Overclocking 5970 at 1.22 volts

[tmx220]

Hey guys I have overclocked my 5970 to 1000 mhz core and 1315 memory at 1.22 V. I was just wondering if anybody thinks that this voltage is too high for the card.

I have the Accelero XTREME for third party cooling.

What's the stock voltage? What are your load temperatures?

[tmx220]

Load temps are 74 degrees celsius the stock voltage of the card is 1.05v although they recommend using 1.1625 as safe for achieving decent overclocks but I believe that is with a stock cooler.

if you can keep the temps low, adding extra juice won't be TOO bad, but with every extra millivolt you increase, the lifespan decreases regardless. I wouldn't go too much higher then that though personally.

Hmm that is what I was worried about. The temps are low but I'm not sure the overclock is worth risking the card.

you can use gpu-z to monitor your vrm temps, those things can get quite hot.
