Have you killed a 570? (No recent deaths, buy some 570s!)

post #1 of 1246
Thread Starter 
In light of the recent deaths of 570's, I'd like to gather some information to keep others from killing theirs!

Please fill out the following if yours died. Also please include a picture if you have one:

What you were doing: (Gaming, benching, stress testing)





If you'd still like to purchase a GTX 570, I urge you to get one of the following:

- Asus GTX570 DirectCU II also has 8 phase VRMs (6 GPU and 2 memory)

Crap. I was going to do this cause I thought it might help me get a stable 900mhz overclock @ 1.1v.

Sorry for your loss, but thank God I saw this before I ended up turning off OCP.

Too many people are trying to hit high overclocks without proper knowledge, tuning and settings.

Because its so easy to turn it up on the GF-110's, I see many people with average case cooling and basic overclock knowledge hurting their GPU's. 900 core is my absolute max, after that my memory chips are nearly on fire. And thats with 65% fan speed during load.
To run these GPU's at 900+ core clocks or near there, you need more then sufficient cooling and tweaks to your fan speeds during load.

You also need crazy airflow.
It took me nearly a week of testing my GPU with tests and burns while watching temps and tuning the results to get it to where it is now. Just because your temps aren't high doesn't mean its stable. You need to look carefully at the benchmarks results to see where your FPS drops, and other performance related measuring tables.

You don't just dial it up and turn the fans up higher...basing your overclock on luck/assumptions is a road to RMA.

Thread Starter 
The problem with the 570's is that they throttle to keep power within limits. Because of this maximum power draw limit, they were not designed to handle more (as most cards are). Even if you increase cooling substantially (my core was at -40°C under load, VRM's were definitely around 0°C), it cannot handle the increased load because it lacks the robust power delivery needed.

The goal of this thread is to collect information to pinpoint the issue so no one else experiences this.

Because its so easy to turn it up on the GF-110's, I see many people with average case cooling and basic overclock knowledge hurting their GPU's. 900 core is my absolute max, after that my memory chips are nearly on fire. And thats with 65% fan speed during load.
To run these GPU's at 900+ core clocks or near there, you need more then sufficient cooling and tweaks to your fan speeds during load.

You also need crazy airflow.
It took me nearly a week of testing my GPU with tests and burns while watching temps and tuning the results to get it to where it is now. Just because your temps aren't high doesn't mean its stable. You need to look carefully at the benchmarks results to see where your FPS drops, and other performance related measuring tables.

You don't just dial it up and turn the fans up higher...basing your overclock on luck/assumptions is a road to RMA.
Although what you said is true, these failures have nothing to do with that. It's the simple fact that the 570 VRMs can not take the voltage with the power limiter unlocked. Simply overclocking won't kill a card unless you run it way over spec long term, although it will artifact and bsod long before that, which should be a telltale sign of instability. These VRMs simply destroy themselves without warning, no artifacts, no BSOD, the computer simply shuts off, and the card is done for.

I have a waterblock, so obviously heat was not an issue, and the OP was running sub-zero temps, the VRM's simply can not take the voltage required to run the card when the power limiter is disable.

It seems that might not be the only thing causing it.

Over at XS, W1zzard killed his just by overvolting. OCP still in place:

The thing we're not used to is the fact that the voltage isn't killing the GPU, it's killing the power delivery system... and at much lower voltages than one would think.
