Posted November 17, 201014 yr Hey all, new here, been overclocking and messing with computers for years. trying to get my Tri setup to overclock a little more, would like to break the 900 barrier. The most I can get right now is core 875 mem 1945 voltage 1.2 whenever I go over 875 i get a display has stopped responding error. currently I have IOH/ICH @ 1.36/1.59v for both NB/SB, Everything is watercooled on independent loops, CPU, GPU's and NB/SB. GPU temps max out at 52c under full load, CPU 52c and NB/SB 39c. I have the unlocked bios on my cards allowing my voltage to go to a maximum of 1213 as displayed in afterburner and even with the voltage maxed I can't get past 875mhz. I've tried dropping the mem down to stock and pushing the core up but still no luck. Should i consider getting a bios to allow me to go higher than 1213 ?
November 18, 201014 yr Author Well I've done some reading and it looks like I might go ahead and try doing the cap mod, anyone know roughly what sort of gains I might see at 2560x1600 res ? also is the cap mod something that can be run on a daily usage gaming system ?
November 18, 201014 yr Have you tested all cards separately? In 3-Way SLI, the maximum stable frequency is determined by the worst of all three cards. It's possible that one card just doesn't want to do 900MHz.
