Hmmm... not sure if this is working. :( I set the slider to 1.3v and hit apply. Upon doing so the slider moves back to 1.0v and stays there. Not sure if possibly this is not a reference PCB?

Do the non-reference cards have the volterra vr?

And how the heck are you at 55C on auto fan? That's really good. I stay around 50C but I'm on water.

I have the Sapphire Toxic edition... non-reference cooling. I'm very, very happy with the performance of this cooler.

Yeah I just realized that after I posted...those are very good temps.

This is exactly what happened to me. I had to use the VoltageFactory tool in the XS link in the OP

I'll look into the other method, thanks.

On a side note with Rivatuner I'm up to 830MHz on stock volts/stock fan settings (30%) and able to complete 3DMark. Not too bad. If I can give a little bump in voltage I have pretty high hopes. :)

that's a nice oc. I can only get 805mhz with stock volts before instability hits

Does anyone has an issue where the voltage is reseting to default during some games, like Mirror's edge? It's pretty annoying when it happens. I'm using a batch file at startup to increase my gpu voltage when I enter windows, but some games keep resetting it to default, so I'm experiencing driver crashes and artifacts, because the stock voltage cannot sustain such a high overclock.
