Posted March 21, 2014 How does this look to you guys? I have a Palit GTX780, the Jetstream one. For some reason I couldn't really hear any noise even though the fan was about 70%. What do you think? Should I try hit 1300?

Posted March 21, 2014 Have you messed with voltages? I'd say keep OC'ing til it crashes in benchmarks/games, then find the most stable clocks. The average I've seen for 780's is like ~1150-1240 ish.

Since I have 750D I was thinking about getting a 2nd 780 and watercool only them, because my cpu is already under water. I think that the palit cards use a reference pcb, so I should be able to use the stock Evga waterblocks. So you think it's worth putting 2 780s under water?

I have my 2 780's under water, it's amazing Performance wise you won't see a big difference unless you're prepared to flash the bios. Most air coolers can "almost" max out a card's overclock at the default voltages. Expect to see maybe.. 100-200 extra MHZ on the memory, and 20-30 on the core. If you flash the bios, expect 50-100 extra on the core. You don't really need to do anything extreme with 2x 780's, as you're gonna be so far above 60 FPS at anything you do already it won't be a big deal. I had 1.325v, 130% power slider bios for awhile, it was fun for benchmarking etc, but totally un-needed. Had my cards at 1306-1320 on the core, and 7600 on the memory, was pretty fun, but like I said before: completely unnecessary.

Posted March 21, 2014 I get you. I probably won't be able to run 2 780, since my psu is only 750. You can easily, they'll never be used at 100% in a game, since no game will utilize them that much at once. You can expect maybe 200 watt usage from each one, than ~100-150 for your CPU since it's overclocked. Unless you decide to get into serious OC'ing with them, (1.3v+) you won't have an issue.

Posted March 21, 2014 Is it stable? Looks like a great OC to me, especially since you didn't touch the voltages. I would try to see how far you can take your memory as well, since it will make a difference. 5820K - ASUS X99-A - 16GB Corsair LPX - HD 7970 GHz - Qnix 1440p @ 96Hz - Waiting for Polaris/Pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
