Card is installed system is clean and I ran some benches. It looks like the core is topping out at 1200mhz. The stock clock says 1080 with a boost clock of 1150 on the EVGA Specs sheet. So I'll take 1200 and call it good with zero tinkering.
Here is a quote from my last set of OC's and tests in 2011. Then I will post the new set from today. The only difference is the Video Card.
Quote: GPU - GTX580 EVGA 1.5gb
CPU - I5 2500K SandyBridge Stock 3.3ghz
Started at stock CPU and GPU score 6300
Moved CPU to 3.5ghz GPU Stock score 6466
CPU 3.5ghz GPU 850(1700),2025(mem) - Score 6788
CPU 3.5ghz GPU 875, 2050 mem - score 6881
At this point I hit a GPU wall, at 885 with 2050 mem the driver would start crashing the second I loaded a test.
Leaving those settings I then started bumping the CPU temps never went over 53c
3.8ghz - Score 6950
3.9ghz - Score 6987
At this point I stopped, I'm hesitant to go over 4ghz with stock cooling. The GPU fan revs up to about 60% and hits temps as high as 70 at full load. I am going to run some more stress tests.
With the I5 still at 4.1 ghz here are the results of the same exact set of 3DMark tests.
P9409
I will run some games later and see what kind of frame rates I can pull. Overall the card seems to hit no greater than 70c under load and is running very stable. I'm going to let precision OC run for a while to stress it now.
