Just got myself yesterday a new Zotac GTX275 to replace my old 8800GTX. Smile

I've overclocked it right out-of-the-box to 713/1512/1260, which are the clocks of the eVGA GTX275 FTW and got an impressive 3DMark Vantage score of P14669! Grin

I've set the fan speed to 70% (instead of 40%) and the Idle temps were 53C, while LOAD temps during the run of 3DMark Vantage reached maximum 83C.

I'm pretty sure I can overclock higher, but I think I'll keep my overclock like that, at least for the time being, as the card is new and I want to keep it safe... Wink

I apologize I don't have any pictures to upload, as I was eager to install the card in my case, as soon as I got home and totally forgot to take some pictures of it to share with you guys... Bang Head

Sweet! Any idea on threshold temps? Those seem extremely high, but then I guess I'm not used to nVidia's new models, haha. Hope you have fun with it!

Thanks! Grin

As far as I know, the Threshold/Max temp for GTXxxx Video Cards is 105C, but anything above 90C is considered RISKY.

I still think that with 83C, I'm on the safe side. Wink
