of course

Welcome!

E: if you want some special information added like WC, or your clocks then please post more pics and a gpu-z screen etc.

^^Sure thing. I'm already pressing the limit of my psu. I'm maxing out at 559W on a 620HX and can hear some coil whine. Until I get a new psu I'm going to hold off on OCing. For now its just a plain old *cough* stock asus gtx 590.

yeah sure thing I wouldn't OC with a 620w unit either, whatever the unit is. I'm planning on a PSU upgrade in the near future as well. Preparing for socket 2011/1365 when it comes out. And it probably wouldn't hurt my 590 either.

 

[remer]

Yeah, my next major upgrade will be the 1366 replacement.

I think I may order a new psu today. I can't stand not having enough headroom to push the limit even though my box is already a space heater. I need to keep my window cracked when its 30-40F outside. Overclocking the 590 will turn this place into a scorched wasteland.

Seeing the price of the hydro copper it looks like it might make sense to get an aftermarket waterblock if I end up going down the water cooled path.

Count me in, its running like a champ for me.

I know you guys don't speak Spanish most probably, but:

One of my friends has killed his GTX590 (It burned completely...) with no OC at all.

This doesn't look good... He went for lunch, left PC off, he came back, turned it on... KABOOM! GPU made a cracking sound, and burned.

Doesn't look good

He just wasted 650€ on it...And it burned his motherboard too... pfff

Hoping for the best here, and your buddy should have warranty so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just call in and ask for a new card.

And it took his motherboard with it? sounds more like a PSU/mobo issue to me but still, best of luck for him.

Ooookay enough of that who wants to crank their card to the max without the OCP

 

[kcuestag]

Sucks for him, he just bought that whole new i7 2600k + GTX590 system...

The card only lasted him for 3 hours.............................

And he did not OC it, and his PSU is a Strider 1500W which is one of the bests, I am starting to think all th GTX590 have an internal problem, it's not right they're burning even without OC, this aint the first case

So yeah, he'll ahve to RMA, but i dont know of they'll take the RMA for his P67 motherboard..

if the system was completely new the problem might have been a defective component. Sure the 590 might have a bit fragile VRMs but I think I'll reserve my judgement for a while so that we can see how much of the cards go. Not many people have their cards yet.

And why wouldn't the motherboard be covered?

Does anyone have overclcoked benchmarks yet? How far can this cards do without voltage added but setting the fan manually?

not yet sadly, I think most of us are still waiting for the cards. There are few guys who have got theirs but haven't posted anything about OCs, not with proof anyways.

 

[Masked]

Had all mine at 9am release day

1 of them:

Card is OC'd at 1.05 to @840mhz atm.

 

[Alatar]

updated!

E. wait you were OC'd, a sec

2nd E: I'm gonna give you a question mark since I have no proof of the OC, but it's listed anyway.
