    That's really good, and that temp is great too. Did you max out the volts in afterburner? Any artifacts?

    Seemed on par with the G1 gigabyte on reviews tho the g1 stayed just a touch cooler @~same db. Also has 8+6 pin so it "should" be ~same in terms of OC too. Just no one here has a gigabyte one yet i think.

    I wouldn't either, as getting 2x of em :p

    Just dug my mobo box out, has the Nvidia SLi Ready logo on it, as well as the Xfire, so id say thats a definite for SLi, and i found a bridge inside, but its only a tiny rigid one, so no good, as id need a long flexible one for the MSi cards, as the coolers are higher than the connectors by the looks of it, still, won't be to hard to get hold of one, as i'll just see my mate in my local shop :D

    Sometimes they supply it with the card, like with my GTX 780 because standard SLI bridge wouldn't fit.

    Buy a flexible bridge on ebay just to be sure. Would suck having 2 cards with out a sli bridge that fits.

    It sure would, i can easily get one though of my mate who works in a computer shop.

    Just have to shift my Xonar from my PCI-E 1 slot into the bottom PCI-E 16x slot (runs @4x), as it blocks dual slot cooled cards in my primary slot, as its right underneath it.

    Eclap: could you please post here screenshot how to set OC in afterburner with MSI 970 gaming if i don't want to raise voltage? I will try it on mine. I want to keep this card for another 2-3 years so I don't want to hurt it too much :D because high VRM temps on this card (87°C with no OC) I upgrade from gtx 560ti when OC was easier (no boost clocks etc.) thanks a lot

    I have never gotten a sli bridge with any nvidia since there has been sli, I have owned many starting out with the 7800gt sli back 2005. Which card and brand gave you a sli bridge?

    I have seen an sli bridge supplied with NVidia cards, but check out his card.

    Yeah I doubt a regular 1 would work with that behemoth.
    The only sli bridges I ever got were on 2 295 cards but they were internal bridges and you would never see it unless you took the gpu apart.

    The one in my sig. Asus, because standard SLI bridge would not fit they bundled long flexible cable.

    Just heads up dont go crazy with vram OC, most issues with happen with vram OC, black screens, artifacts or just crashing in general.

    1ghz vram OC is a lot, i would back down to at least 500mhz.. You won't see any real difference anyway. Gpu OC will yield bigger difference.

    In this case vram OC helps more than on GTX 780.

    I ran my 680 ftw 4gb sli at a 1200mhz oc. 256bit bus benefits from vram oc, 384 bit not so much. I just run my ti at 7516 a minor oc not that it does much at all with 336gb/s stock bandwidth. Those 680s are still going at that speed I recon. Members here bought them and I kept the 7200mhz oc in the vbios.

    Yeah like i said in the other thread, around 1.30v so i was close and that was just an estimate going from the past. Bios can be manipulated now using KBT 1.27 but Nvflash needs to be updated so no deal until it is updated as there is no way to reflash the cards.

    Its ok increasing volts but its a waste of time if you cant cool them properly, also vrms get very hot which can potentially kill your card in a short time.

    Like ive said before volt modding is not advised on air setup.
