You obviously have superior airflow (over me) with those temps...I'm usually of the opinion if it ain't hot don't worry.....but.....
With all the talk of high voltage/current (not heat) burning out the transistors in the chip....
What are the cores, 90nm? 80nm? I might try to take an educated guess on the MAX safe voltage (that DOESN'T cause transistor damage). I'd base the guess on max voltage for comparable processors (of the same nm)...
I dunno, my card isn't stable above like 805 on the core, haven't played with the memory.....
Are you trying for 14K in 06, or just a really high core speed? I'm just thinking my card works pretty darn well for what I throw at it, wouldn't want to push it too far...I'm thinking next year when it becomes a 'slower' card, I might crank it up....but burning up new hardware is frustrating (Wile and Damulta
)
Good luck, and post the updated scores.....g'dam I gotta get my 06 score up in here...
