Hi i have evga gtx 580 sc and there is a program evga precision and i want ask what if oc my card to maximum value becouse i can oc my card pretty high there are value like 1000 mhz core and 3000 mhz shaders, but i am afraid that it can burn or can something happaned, so i oc my ćard to 830 mhy core and 2100 mhz shaders, but when i oc gpu it really make better performance? especially in games? sry my english but i am not englishl native

Is it that your just putting the slider to 1,000 clicking apply and that's how you're determining that you can OC to 1,000mhz? If that's how, that's not the way to overclock a card, nor is it the way to overclock anything for that matter.
Raise the Core clock 9GPU clocks not memory) by 20mhz steps and test with something such as 3dMark, Heaven, ect. that will put 100% load on the GPU. If it is stable through 15 - 20 minutes of testing, raise it more. When you start to see artifacts then drop it back 20 mhz and do longer test. Once you have the highest stable core clock, work on the memory.
You would only really be able to "burn out" the video card by too high of voltage. Before messing with the voltage, I would recommend reading up on it a little more. Overclocking isn't a race [unless you're doing championship level] - take your time with it, once you get stable settings, you will be able to leave them there and be happy with it!

1000Mhz is the max EVGA Precision tuner will allow you to go. Doesn't mean your card can run at that frequency. Just keep a watch on your temperatures, increase voltages and use a stability program to check whether you have a stable OC. If you see artifacts increase the voltage if it locks up or black screen you could be at the limit of your cooling.

For idle I think anything above 0'c is rather hot, these things love to run sub-zero.
The best measure of load temperature is to try and place a frying pan on the back of the GPU. Then place some bacon onto the pan, if you start to hear a crackling sound you should start to worry about the temps! But in the mean-time you can eat bacon. Its a win-win situation, unless you're Jewish and can't eat bacon >_>

Actually I believe 580s temperatures are lower compared to previous Fermi. Mine idle at 45° and under load they reach 75°.

Card runs pretty cool for not being to get stable @ 850 with under 1.075v.

That I did! And it's absolutely epic.Originally Posted by *********;13174046
Yay! You got your step up!![biggrin.gif]()
I averaged (when I was dual 580 on air) 35/32c idle & 75/73c 99% gpu usage.
Mind you, in an 800D...not the best airflow.
