Stock boost 1111
Max Core OC +50, Max Boost 1161 (yeah that includes my measly Kepler boost of like 40-50 Mhz)
Memory I've left at +300, although it was stable at +600, I just don't feel that much of a need to OC the memory all that much.

Nope, I still beat you biggrin.gif

Wait, that should be a mad.gif

Anyway, I am at 1045 out of box, and 1145 final and effective....This is with ASUS DC2 NON TOP btw....are you running gigabyte?

Yep, it's a Gigabyte card. I heard of some people throwing the unlocked Gigabyte 680 bios on this 670 and upping the voltage and hitting higher clocks. Didn't think upping the voltage was possible via software (and maybe it still isn't), but if this can increase clocks/stability then I'm all for it. With my card watercooled I'm sure it'll be able to handle a little extra voltage. Anyone know a limit that I should definitely not pass?

Care to share where you 'heard' this? I'm not even aware any voltage-unlocked Gigabyte 680 cards to begin with headscratch.gif

Looks like I have a dud as well.

Max clock at stock is 1150

Overclocked: 1215 with +70 offset on the core (Why do I have a 91 KB at stock and a 86 KB overclocked?) and +500 on the memory, so 1215 / 3504.

Grabbed this one because many reviews had them OC nicely and they're priced the same as the reference ones... Kind of disappointed with it .

You should not, the Gigabyte is a great card !
I got a much worst than yours, can't reach 1200Mhz and less than +100 on memory ...

Sure you could have take another GTX670 and get much further, just like you could with another exact same Gigabyte WF3 !
The real good part of the Gigabyte is its cooling. It won't get hot, unlike many many other GTX670 smile.gif
And it's so quite !!
Yours is running under 65°c at 47% fan speed, right ? My Noctua NHU12P SE2 (7v) isn't as quite as this Gigabyte when running 47% fan speed.

It's a lottary, you could have aswell get one which can OC beyond 1350Mhz ... It's just bad luck, nothing to do with the model.

I believe the thread "THE GTX 680/670 UNLOCKED VOLTAGE DISCUSSION THREAD" on this forum has been having the unlocked bios discussion for a few days now and have included the Gigabyte 670 in there, maybe others (if not all?) as well.
