GeForce GTX 680 was overclocked to 1442 MHz, using air-cooled

Overclocking enthusiast k | ngp | n explore the potential of increasing the clock frequency on GeForce GTX 680 sample 3D-card EVGA GTX 680 SC. With the use of "extreme cooling" graphics processor was overclocked to 1957 MHz.

More interesting is the result of dispersal from the air cooling system, accessible to more overclockers.

In this case, k | ngp | n and the EVGA GTX 680 SC was subjected to 1442 MHz mark. Recall from the reference sample base clock frequency is 1058 MHz, high - 1124 MHz.

 

As can be seen in the illustration, with the GPU voltage had to increase to 1.212, which corresponds to the upper limit stipulated by NVIDIA. Memory clock was 1812 MHz.

The system used to disperse, was part of the processor Intel Core i7-3960X, overclocked to about 5 GHz, and the memory running at 1245 MHz (effective 2490 MHz). In 3DMark 11 the result was recorded P12745.
