gtx 560 ti compact

[kentsfield]

Hi. I've just bought gtx 560ti http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/geforce-gtx-560ti-green-edition.html. The store only had this model (i'm from europe). Im happy with performance, and thermals idle:32, load:74C (2h battlefield 3 on high) micro atx case.

I would like an opinion about overclocking this card. I hesitate because im not sure about the quality of components. Hynix ram (h5gq1h24bfr), It seems its 4+1 power phase design. Its just the number of caps that feels a little short, only 6. stock 3d voltage is 0.987.

I've uploded photos.

Thats a crazy compact card. Nice find. With the smaller dimensions of heatsink, I wouldn't push it too hard. Try for 875ish see how temps do and work from there. The memory does not have any cooling, so that may be limiting.

Dang! They shaved 2in+ off the card and still kept the stock clocks. That's impressive!

Wow, that's tiny

A universal GPU waterblock would give you full coverage on that small guy

Gainward. This is actually sexier than my GTS 450

That is incredible! They could be great for mATX builds where room could be a problem.

I've managed to get core to 920mhz stok volts (987 mV), 10min (86C temp.) furmark and 30min (76C temp.) battlefield 3. At 930mhz in furmark freezes after 5min.

I think this is the first time in computer hardware I'd use the word 'cute.'
