My clocks on my 680 are 1.25ghz core, 78c max temp fan only at 30%, and I have yet to bump the voltages.

Congats on the purchase, enjoy the card.

AFAIK, you can't bump voltages. All you get is a power level slider up to 132%. I got enough out of my card to break 10k in 3dmark 11. Will be watercooling eventually but dont know how much that will help clocking as temps never went above 70c.

What? I can bump my voltages to 1.215

Do they actually change?

They do for me. And my temps get hotter.

Weird, Kepler auto adjusts the voltage up to 1.21v. That's max and from what I've read a reference card can't override this without an epower board. There was a really cool article from kingpin and the mods they did to the card.

Edit: guess what I'm getting at is there is no direct voltage control. If you up the clock and set the power level to 132%, the card will adjust voltage up to 1.21v to keep it stable. If you set the voltage manually, it is ignored.

This is all new to me too, so I could be reading this all wrong, but this was my understanding.

All i know is when I play my game I never see it hit 1.2 unless I do it manually.
