System Name Delta
Processor i7-3770k @ 4.3ghz Turbo
Motherboard Asus Sabertooth z77
Cooling Corsair H110
Memory Corsair Vengeance 12GB 1600
Video Card(s) Sapphire Tri-X 290X
Storage Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD - 750GB WD Black
Display(s) Dual Monitor: ASUS VS247-H
Case NZXT H440 White

Card Specs:

Stock - 1040 core / 1300 mem / Voltage: Idle .938-.945 / Load 1.125-1.141 Average



Other samples on Overclock.net confirm that Sapphire TRI-X uses only Hynix Memory modules (R0C model), can confirm with my own card.

Valley 1.0 Benchmark Chart: Includes all temps/clocks from benchmark http://i.imgur.com/NIkcc14.png

Updated Info: AB allows for AUX Voltage control which is related to the memory voltage, with a +50mv increase I went from a max of 1500 to 1690mhz. Thus also caused a slight increase in VRM2 temp, going from an average of 51-53 to an max of 55C in all benches.



Best score: 3297 http://i.imgur.com/O6SKr1I.png [ For this score, I used slightly higher core clocks which required 195mv offset on core for stability and caused 100C VRM1 Temps. Definitely was not ideal or a daily driver]



Heaven 4.0 16~ minute loop benchmark Extreme 1080p Fullscreen

Sensors/Monitoring: http://i.imgur.com/1uUTvfq.png

1202 core 125mv offset / 1650 (6600) mem aux 50mv offset

Fan Profile: 80-83% for first 9~ mins, 83-88% the last 7~ mins

GPU Max: 78C (77C average)

VRM1 Max: 92C (88-90C average)

VRM2 Max: 59C



Dunno why I ran this at 1500 Memory but I'll update when I do it with the higher memory clock. Might provide some better numbers.

Best Score: 1612 http://i.imgur.com/bhnQ4vK.jpg

UPDATE (1/23/2014):

3DMark Scores

Firestrike: 11037
1208 / 1700
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1585460

Firestrike Extreme: 5612
1213 / 1725
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1585519

My Extreme score seems kinda low from what I was expecting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this can help give people some idea on the temps and clocks possible with this card. I do have some higher than expected VRM1 temps, I hope to see other samples to make sure my card isn't out of spec.

Thanks for taking the time to post this but.....

What bios position you using, quiet, uber?

Also use TPU image uploader http://www.techpowerup.org/ so we don't need to click click click o_O

How the hell do I code the link Now?

Assumed everyone used Hoverzoom :p

Well it's in uber, but that only determines it's fan settings. I'm using a custom fan profile for mine, their profiles are an little crappy, 40%(quiet) or 55%(uber). Doesn't exactly work well when your stressing the card more than any game does.

I actually got new SP120's on my h100, I have it clocked up to 4.5Ghz now. Need to redo some benches lol
