| 423406 | 2006-01-31 03:17:00 | I would use the Nvidia coolbits software or Rivaturner to confirm core speed, however it could just be bugger driver version! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 423407 | 2006-01-31 07:01:00 | I would use the Nvidia coolbits software or Rivaturner to confirm core speed, however it could just be bugger driver version! I downloaded the Nvidia coolbits software & it showed my Core Clock Frequency as 300 MHz & Memory as 500 MHz Telling it to detect optimal Frequencies it tells me 350 MHz as core clock & 603 MHz as memory. my question is, is it good to go with these? & should i always keep the fan on if i go with these? Thanks in advance ;) |

| 423408 | 2006-01-31 09:06:00 | Try it and see. If it locks up or artifacts then its too high, Personally I wouldn't OC a card like that at all, It won't haul ass no matter what you run it at, and I would bet good money it falls over quickly when put under stress with those settings. |

| 423409 | 2006-01-31 10:36:00 | take to 325 and 580, then lower memory by 5 mhz each time if not stable | Mirddes (10) | ||
| 423410 | 2006-01-31 18:37:00 | take to 325 and 580, then lower memory by 5 mhz each time if not stable I disagree!!! If you're going to overclock it is better to start low and work your way up rather than the other way around. If you start it high and it doesn't work you may end up with a dud for a card. I would suggest you start @ 300MHz and 500MHz and work your way up. When you get to a setting where you have artifacts, lockups or general instability, lower the frequencies by 10-15 MHz and that should keep you safe. However, as stated... there's not much point in overclocking a vanilla 6600, you'd be lucky if you saw any sort of improvement in performance. Your other option is to format and re-install eveything... if you get the same sort of reading then ring Compaq and tell them you want a replacement. cheers chiefnz |
