just whopped up an OC from the bios and gonna burn it in overnight on prime95. Does this look right?

I googled and saw someone getting those temps with a H50, maybe you dont need that much volt.

Try backing it off little by little and check if its stable.

The temps are probably not dangerous, I cant find anything about 70C being too high for the 760, so I guess your fine

Yeah im gonna start laying off the volts to find whats best. Thanks for the help!

No problem, i'm glad to help

Just started overclocking myself

Nice! Was thinking of getting another 5850. How are they in crossfire?

I love them.. It gives alot of power, for me it was what I needed to start maxing games with 60FPS!

I had some driver problems, and in some games that doesn't support xFire I wish I had a better single card, but other than that it's great! Really packs a punch and it is probably great for higher resolutions than 1080p or eyefinity as well..

I got the 5850 for very cheap, and for that it is totally worth it! I guess you can find a cheap one at your location as well.. Great bang for buck.

They do need good cooling though, which a HAF X has, can you have 1 pci slot between them?

Yeah I got a HAF 932 Advanced and if I run CF on my mobo, there would be 1 space between them. If I lower down the voltage a tiny bit I will see if I can bump a bit more mhz out of it.
