R9 290 tri x

[darkn3ss99]

Just wondering what is the highest stable overclock for the r9 290 tri x?

IDK try it for yourself?

I will. Just curious what other people got.

Each card is different. I think you should be able to reach at least 1100 mhz on the gpu and 5800 mhz on the memory. 

I got 1300 mhz and 6100mhz respectively (pcs+, very similar cooling to tri x though).

I get a stable 1100/1400 without adjusting the voltage, the card is a great overclocker.

Nowhere near same cooling. The PCS+ is triple slot!

 

PCS+ is better than the Tri X. Recommend that instead.

The tri-x is a really good cooler IMO, so it should get a decent overclock if you have a good chip. Just ignore sonefiler, in case you hadn't noticed, he's quite the fanboy

Oh you :3

Sorry, but the PCS+ is only SLIGHTLY better.

Just wondering for the memory, how will i know if its stable and the temps are good? And also what should the max temp be?

Lel not true. Triple slot cooler vs double. Quieter fans vs louder. Lower temps vs higher. Higher clocks vs lower. Hynix vs Elpida. PCS+ is better in all ways.

Memory --> If you see artifacts on the screen (eg black spots or tearing (not in game)) then you know you are pushing your memory too far.

GPU Clock Speeds --> Same as above as well as sometimes the computer may just switch off or you will get no signal to the monitor.

Temps --> Anything under 75 degrees @ 40% fan speed is good. If you are fine with it being louder go ahead and put up the fan speed.

 

NOTE: overclocking the memory may DESTROY the card before any symptoms are shown that it is unstable.

With all respect, a 100Mhz on the core and 150Mhz on the memory is hardly a great overclocker... Put some voltage to her and see what she really will do.

Oh yea this card easily does over 1100/1400 with an increased voltage. I was trying to show how little effort and adjustment is needed to overclock.

I'm not a big GPU OCer but I'll see how far I can push my card when I get the time.

You KNOW it depends on your specific chip, right? If you're very unlucky you may not be able to pull even as little as 100mhz more...
