As the title says i recently got my Hailstorm II Computer with both CPU and GPU OC but would like to know how far can i push the 780s.

Note:They're air cooled    but remember the 900D has great airflow and plus i asked 1 extra fan for the GPU's and another one for CPU


I writed Daul instead of dual

How far you can push your oc on the gpu/gpu is mainly dependent on its cooler and not the case fans.

my question to you is are you a benchmarker?

if not, ocing your gpus will yield very little gains, I'm talking maybe 2 to 4 fps. If you are already getting 60fps then you won't even notice any gains.

long story short stop trying to speed up the death of your gpu.

to answer your question, you can push your gpu as long as your load temps are below 80-85c ( like to stay below 80c) and as long as the gpu is stable under stress.

once again ocing your gpu is completely pointless and will not bring forth any noticeable gains.

only people that should oc their gpu are benchmarkers, and that is only for a short time of the benchmark, after that they drop it back to normal.

keep in mind your warranty with DS is only 1 year part and 3 year labor.

I think you are right thank you just another question:
Does CPU OC'ing wields a decent amount of FPS?

That is a complicated question if you will.

1. how much cpu comes into play depends on the game itself.

2. where cpu does come into play, once you are above 3.8-4.2GHz, the cpu speed does not offer much in terms of fps.

3. how much cpu comes into play depends on the resolution your gaming at.

here are something to remember when it comes to gaming, most of your fps comes from gpu.

cpu comes into play if your res is low like 1200 x 1000 or lower, and if the game is cpu heavy, but even then the gpu is most important in fps.

the oc and etc is not what one should be looking at.

what one should be looking at is:

am I getting 60 fps from my setup, if yes then no need to stress one's parts more by pushing oc or even ocing.

if one is running 1900 x 1200 res and sli 780/770 with cpu oced to 4.0GHz, the gpus don't need to be oced at all, the yield is very little and long term damage is a lot.

keep in mind ocing gpu is different then cpu, everything is different.

OK well if you are running a higher refresh rate then you could benefit from higher fps than 60.

but if your gaming is smooth already which I believe it is, for your res and the sli 780 you have, I would not oc the gpus at all, no need as I'm sure you are getting way over 80fps with that sli.

Only oc gpus if you are not getting enough power, but if you are not getting enough power ocing the gpus will not yield much power gain, so truth is that there is no good reason to oc the gpus unless one wants to run a quick benchmark for fun.

A true gamer notices when he's going at more than 60 fps... I don't care what science says!

GPU's are just like CPU's. Some overclock better than others.  A modest OC is decent and should be left there, unless you are just running some 3DMark/Firestrick benchmarks for a large epeen.

What do you have them at right now?  Also, what edition are they? Are they classifieds, SC ACX, basic ACX, ASUS DirectCU II?
