ik the motherboard is important...i thought my ftw3 was a good board :[ and im not going to 1.087 i was just using that as a for instance for where people were overvolting....but my temps seem like they stay in an acceptable range at 1.050 at like max usage like playing crysis on very high for hours it will reach high 70's MAYBE 80 so i have alittle bit more headroom, considering with the stock fan profiles my card used to reach 90
