Rate My Overclock

[Smeyer40]

So this is my 1st overclock that I have done so I am wanting your opinion. I have tried on this same card in the past and I even made a thread but I gave up then and this is the 1st time I am feeling even the slightest confident.

 

I have the Sapphire R9 270x Dual-x and I used the Sapphire Trix utility to overclock and Unigine Valley to stress test it.

 

My goal was a Overclock and to keep it under 70c. When I had the core clock at 1200 I blue screened so I doubt I will try and go an further than what I have but I may in the future with the Memory Overclock.

 

I am still running Unigine Valley and I plan on maybe 10 more runs. I do not know why I just feel the more test the better the chance of finding any instabilities, granted I may find them during gaming.

 

 

At default

GPU Clock - 1070

Memory Clock - 1400

VDDC - 1180

Temps w/ Unigine Valley 65c

Score - 1354

I should point out that after a few test I did hit 69c but that is still under my goal of 70c
