    Hi all,

    This is my first post, but I have been reading these forums for a while. I recently purchased a M11xR2, and was wondering what a good program for OC'ing the GPU is? Also, what is a good speed to shoot for, and how would I test if it is stable?

    And finally, last question(I swear), obviously there are risks involved with any OC, but is there anything I should watch out for when OC'ing the GPU? Temps, etc?

    Thanks in advance!

    I use Evga precision.

    I always try going up in 25mhz bumps til i fail then i go back sume till im stable.

    I think for the R2 anything around 70 or so is safe. but i dont own one so dont quote me.

    Awesome thanks! Also, I downloaded EVGA precision. Do i need to keep the core clock and shader clock linked? or can I unlink them and set them separately?

    you can unlink them for a better OC, but in my exp. i alwas have to lower one to get the other to raise. in the end my FPS dont change much if at all so i jut leave emm linked. ymv

    The shader on most R2's hates to be overclocked so i would unlink them. I can get 550 on my core but don't go above 1125 on the shader due to freezing and instability.
