I have one of those EVGA 7600gt KO versions with a copper heatsink. Supposedly, the stock speeds on it are 580/750 (not counting the double-date rate on the memory)- so it is already factory oc'd up from the reference chip. I currently have it running at 670/835. It idles at 52 degrees, and loads at 74.
I attribute my good overclock to a combination of four things: I overclocked the pci-e bus to 115, have a good asus board which can overclock the board to a preset "faster" speed without touching a slider, have good cooling in my case, and did a pencil mod on the back of the card.
I just wanted to know how much success others have had.
I understand that the nvidia 7-series is over the hill and all, but I've read the 8600gt doesn't perform much better (yeah yeah yeah- so it is really a 8600gs), and I don't have the money for a 8800gt, gts, or second variation gts. When I do it'll be heading over the hill too
