Any voltage settings in gpu tweak affect vDroop only and not maximum voltage.

Semantics I guess, but anyway the only way to change max voltage is to hard mod the card with soldering.

True. I have yet to see any card that will go above 1175mV but supposedly the new Lightning can accomplish this.

Finally, had time to read through a HWC review. Plus, this one caught my eye. Well done SKYMTL.

Only a couple of true typos:
page 1:

...reference version cars...

- "cards"

Battlefield 3 (DX11):

...this one are...

- "area"

What a review and what a card. Whoever got the review card from the BST I hope you enjoy it.

They are a great GTX-680 if you plan on running just one card because they are hughe,they take up 3 slots ,I have the ASUS DirectCU II GTX-670 and they are just two slots ,make it easier to run SLI.

My last single slot was a GeForce 440MX ;)

so is it worth it to hook up the vga hotwire if you have a rog motherboard? how much further can you actually take it (safely for 24/7)?
