Hey guys Im using a 680 SC edition.  Im using precision X and before I was able to OC nicely roughly about + 200 on the GPU offset and about +400 on the memory.  Now if I even do plus +60 on GPU and +100 on memory, it crashes EVERY TIME.  Any of you guys have this problem?  Did I OC my card to hard when I got it??  Thanks for replies guys

    +200 and +400... on Air? That's a bit high.. I think that crosses over 1400Mhz for core and all of that on air?
     
    What changed between the time you were able and not able to achieve those clocks? How long was the gap between those two instances.
     
    From my understanding, +200 on core + only air is a bit astronomical. Or I might be wrong, if so forgive me.

    willey, whats your max clocks ? it doesnt help to only state the '+' because every card boosts differently, except for memory clocks. default is always 3000mhz.

    Hmm nothing really that could possibly change the way it would overclock.  It was on air, but my CPU is water cooled, so the overall TEMP of my rig is lower than air cooled.  But my GPU is air.
    GPU CLOCK: 1141 memory: 1617 Boost:1206
    Is this the information you were looking for?  I am bit new to this I recently made the switch from console gaming lol.  I used GPU - Z for those figures.

    dont use gpu-z.
    use precisionx or afterburner. if you dont know how to set up the monitoring graphs, someone please chime in. i dont have the patience to type it all out with 2 fingers.

    Your actualy over what alot of people get already.
     
    So far I have overclocked both an EVGA GTX 680 SC Signature and an EVGA GTX 680 FTW Edition and the highest I could get was +100 core and +100 on the memory.....actualy got the highest OC with the SC Signature edition but this card was so bugged in other ways.
     
    There just does not seem to be alot of OC headroom in the GTX 680's.
