    Hi guys,

    I just wanted to ask in a fresh thread if people OC the gpu in general, if its worth it and if its stable or if people OC just before they start a game which the only can play for 2 hours before the system fails or what are peoples experiences? :)

    Thanks a lot!

    I oc'ed my 335m in my r1 and it really helps keep most games at a playable framerate.Blur,Just cause2,Transformers war for cybertron,and other games i play benefited solely from the oc'ed gpu.

    How much if you don't mind? roughly, i know no gpu is the same but just to have an idea.. also heat wise, wonder if the cooling in the r1 and r2 is the same in terms of efficiency

    I overclock my R1 to 571/1370/871 (core/shader/memory) and it is furmark or what-ever-I-tried stable. The cooling systems in both R1 and R2 are quite capable and I haven't noticed any trouble regarding heat and oc'ing so far.
