970's are not really made for enthusiast OC rigs are they. In the 900 range it sits bottom but 1.

Lucky, although these refresh chips clock like they were binned so they all seem to clock well.
Just makes me all the more annoyed at the chunk of s**t chip I ended up with. But hey-ho never mind.

Then again, I've just left it at 38 for months, and nothing bad has happened - it just might get faster if I did things properly instead of picking a multiplier and voltage and discovering that it works.
This idea is unfashionable.
