Great result. My MSI card needed only 1.67V for this kind of clocks though Now I'm tempted to use higher Voltages. I was afraid to blow the VRM.

Today I tried dry ice cooling for the first time, but I had a couple weird issues. It worked great for GPUPI, but as soon as I tried a 3D application with OC, the screen started flashing black a couple times for a second or so before it then crashed. And whenever the GPU was still cold, it would boot, but the driver wasn't able to recognize the GPU and there were some red artifacts. When booting in safe mode, the artifacfts were gone. Also the temp readout was complete garbage, as it would show temperatures as low as -240°C in idle and under load about -140°C. Has anyone experienced similar issues or knows a fix for the boot problem? Edit: The PC is not crashing, the display is just loosing connection. The CPU temp on the post code display indicates that the benchmarks are finishing just fine.

This explains why the Ram on Asus cards is a bit better. The -ek means it is rated for 933 Mhz, while mine is only rated for 800Mhz. Also the memory on my MSI was designed for 1.35V, but MSI decided to run it at 1.5V

What kind of Nanya Ram is on the Asus cards? The Ram on my MSI is Nanya NT5CC128M16IP-DI and it needs 1.66 volts for only 1110Mhz. Do the Asus cars have a different chip or is it just better binning?
