To be honest with you I never ever ran the card at stock speeds. While it was in transit being shipped from Dell, I was reading up on here on what people had clocked their cards at, so the day it arriaved I already had the Iso burned on a disk and flashed it right to 600\1200 Then after a week I tried 625\1250 and it ran all games fine, never had a problem with it, just temps were to high for my likeing I think I was getting up to 91-92 degress at full load, thats why i lowered it back to 600\1200, because temps dropped alot. I do remember running a test once with power supplies, I tried my 90w then i tried the 130w I had, and the strange thing was, it ran cooler with the 90w, it maxed 2-3 degrees higher with the 130w, but scores were the same no matter which power supply I used, so I stuck with the 90w untill I bought my 7900GTX. I only had the card for about 2 or 3 weeks.
