Hey Tuff, So yes they did reply back to me. For those not following closely, I asked Sapphire Tech what the safest maximum voltage would be. They replied with - So there you go. :)

Ah cool. Yeah I'll try out that when I get home today. And I'll also try gpu-z/HWmonitor to really see if 1.21v is the default voltage on my card or it's just what ASUS wants to set it at. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. So I actually did email Sapphire Tech on this. They got back to me today and said the following: I did lower my voltage down to 1.175 and was stable at 1125/5000 with Unigine. I'll have to game to really make sure. In addition, I did ask the tech what would be the...

Yeah I can tweak the voltage with no issue. I just found it odd it defaults to 920/5000 @ 1.21v. I'll mess with lowering the voltage when I get back.

Yeah I agree. Just to make sure, is stock voltage what the ASUS tool defaults to? For example, when I first started the tool, it set it at 920/5000 @ 1.21v. Thanks.

So I got my Sapphire OC 7850 last week and my stock voltage is 1.21v. Should I be concerned? Right now I am clocked at 1125/5400 @ 1.21v using the ASUS Tweak Tool. I tried to hit 1200/5400 @ 1.21v but benchmarking fails. I don't mind increasing the volts but am concerned about lifespan of...

Hey guys, Thanks for the replies. In the end, I was actually going for the SP-97 with the Vantec Tornado (with a fan controller) but I couldnt find a single site with SP-97s in stock, so I decided to go for the SLK900A which was the 2nd best option. Like Pirred said, it is a little more...

Hey all, Just joined the board and looks to be a great place to hang out and get great advice from. So here is my question(s) and I hope you can help guide me to finally buying a new setup. Thanks. I've been researching for the past week and decided to go with this setup. Please let me...
