Any advise. I want to purchase one but kinda scared, lol. Just need some suggestions if anyone has any. I need at least 500watts too

I have a dual-fan "Silent" Enermax 465W, and I can't hear it at all even when I turn off all the fans in my computer besides the CPU fan.

Yea, do not overclock the core. The core is stock 550MHz, and BFG puts it at 565, but in my opinion, 565 is a bit too high. Put the core back to 560 or 550, and try the memory at 1600, it should work. If you're nervous about it, just use the automatic Nvidia utility that finds the optimal speeds automatically. That's what I did to get 560/1700. So now the core is 90MHz behind a 7900GTX, but the memory is 100MHz faster. I'd say that makes them about even.supersmashbrada said:metalx I see you have the same bfg card as I do, any advise for overclocking it?

Google "nTune" without the quotes, download, and install. Open it up, go to GPU settings and press Find Optimal.supersmashbrada said:Not sure what utility to use to do this or where its at.
