However I don't know any "normal" overclocking range for the memory, don't know if the stock 1848mhz are already quite close to the limit, so what is a healthy and secure overclock for that one on the GTX 480? 1900,1950 or 2000? Is Furmark/Kombuster a good app to test memory for overclocking artifacts?
Since I wanted to take it safe with the quicktests I forced the fan to 100%, temps didn't break 63C with Kombustor.  |
2000 should be do-able.
