medoz95 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 My alienware 17 has a gtx 680m @ 719\900mhz, when OC to 915\1125mhz running heaven 4.0 or middle earth SOM my system freezes and never work until I force shutdown.Does so with anything beyond 900mhz for the gpu or 1200 for mem. Is this Normal?!! also my temps 80 @ stock clocks, is this right?using the svl7's default clock & voltage mod btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTwisT Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 It's a silicon lottery. Looks like you shouldn't overclock your card as this particular unit is unstable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this Normal?!! also my temps 80 @ stock clocks, is this right?using the svl7's default clock & voltage mod btw.About 900 stock was waht I got out of my card as well. In the end I dared to venture further (1.050v) and reached 1030mhz at at the max.It is quite normal that you will have to add a good portion of extra voltage in order to gain some % extra speed - the decision is yours.Be aware of your power consumption (depending on your PSU). 80 @ stock is quite a good temperature imho.Best regardsphila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did feel abit adventurous and changed the bios with OVing to 1050v,now it works. I still have a question tho: what is the max gpu clock I can get using the 1000OV bios?
