So I stopped OC my cards because some games like Crysis 2 kept crashing. Ofcourse a little more performance is always welcome so I've been playing Crysis 2 for almost 2 hours without it crashing!!!...I'm happy!!! Someone said to up the voltage when the game crashes, so I tought yeah why not.... and now my cards are OC 850/1700/1900 V=1.063 , the temps are max 85°C for top card whyle playing on ULTRA settings. So I hope this won't hurt the cards after a whyle considdering temps are fine??? well whoever is interested in OC his TRI SLI GTX570, this seems to work fine with driver 270.61 thanks for the tip!!!

    I think you need to find a way to cool the cards down a bit more but I think your overclock on the GTX 570s can come down because you have Tri-SLI and three GTX 570s even at default levels can more than handle Crysis 2 with a CPU overclock of 4.2GHZ.

    yes they can handle the game on standard clock, but I do notice performance increase with this OC obviously. I bought these cards when I had a 24" screen, but as you can see in my sig, I have a 30" now, so I need more power to reach >60fps for this type of game...I probebly can lower temps with a fan profile, I use standard settings, I hear the cooling starts a little late...thanks!

    +1 cool them puppies off, they're roasting in there and probably starved for air.  What does your fan profile look like?

    Set up a custom fan profile to have the fans ramp up sooner and higher for better cooling.

    Also, now would be a good time to rid the inside of your case of dust, and maybe increase the speed of your case fans too, if possible.
