So I've found for 900 mhz core, 2000 on memory I need 1.1 volts to keep stable in DX 11 games. Now, is this SAFE to run 24/7 for gaming? I have the GTX 570 HD Edition from EVGA. I'm not sure what their 3 year warrenty exactly states, but I've heard 1.1 is the max for voltage. I get just about 580 speeds stock with that core clock.

I have the EVGA 570 SC, I found mine stable at 850mhz and 2000 for the memory without touching the voltage.

Everybody is different when it comes to overclocking, so the safest way to do it is run some benchmarks and watch your temperatures.

If you don't get crashes, or artifacts and your temp is in a safe zone, than yeah sure it's good for a 24/7 overclock.

But than again you can always create custom profiles, that way you can enable the overclock only when you want to game.

Because you wont see noticeble different outside of gaming.

Hope I helped.

have u tried bf 3 or crysis... will probably crash if ur voltage is stuck at 1.025 volts for that overclock. I have to use 1.075 voltage for 850 mhz core, 1950 mhz memory, otherwise bf3 crashes after like 2 min of playing.

I have an ASUS Direct CU II GTX 570. I have it clocked at 950mhz for core, 1800mhz shader and 2100mhz for memory and the voltage is at 1.075. I could push it further on the core clock if I upped the voltage more.

Why does my card require so much voltage for a upping the clock speed..? I mean, I read of some people getting 900 mhz from just 1.000 volts? Wtf? At 1.1 volts at 900 mhz clock my temps are about 68 degrees to 70 degrees celcius max in game. Do you think I should run this 24/7 and I'll be good? Just worried about the high voltage (dont want my VRAM to blow up).

Is there enough room under the heatsink to install shallow heatsinks on the VRM's? You can definitely put one on the voltage controller on the rear of the card. If you can do both, you could mod the bios and bump the voltage up past 1.2v...

I get around your temps with my clock speed and Have it OCed at all times. Although you can use MSI Afterburner to make a preset to switch on and off if you only want the OC to be on only when playing games. I would use Crysis as a test to see if it is stable for OCing. I have tried many other games and programs like Furmark and haven't had a crash but Crysis would do it which forced me to raise the voltage from 1.050 to 1.075.

Dont push the ram clocks that much since it doesnt yield much performance gains and someone blew their chips with 570 before on another forum.

900mhz/2000mhz mem is good.

It also depends on the model of the GTX 570. Some can handle ocing much better than others.

Thats a modest number, theres no way it cant reach that with a little voltage bump for any models. His is HD piped down from the reference cooler so I say dont touch the ram clocks and is pointless to oc them anyway.
