EternityEight Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I got bored today so i finally decided to overclock my video card, so i got 3dmark01 and decided to compile a report as i did things .....this is it so far: original score: 3425 rebooted computer: 9148 increased AGP apeture to 128mb - 9195 Set memory timings to 2-2-2-6 CRASH Set memory timings to 2-3-3-6 9216 Locked AGP bus at 66Mhz - 2178 increased GPU core to 405 - 9255 increased GPU core to 411 - 9232 increased GPU core to 416 - 9307 increased GPU core to 423 - 9382 increased GPU core to 432 - 9334 increased GPU core to 441 - 9436 increased GPU core to 450 - 9436 Reboot computer - 9465 increased GPU core to 459 - 9607 increased GPU core to 468 - 9538 increased GPU core to 477 - 9672 increased GPU core to 486 - 9734 increased GPU core to 486 - 9734 increased GPU core to 495 - CRASH decreased GPU core to 490.5 - 9310 rebooted computer - 9311 decreased GPU core to 488 - CRASH decreased GPU core to 486 - CRASH decreased GPU core to 484 + reboot - CRASH decreased GPU core back to stock - 9238 (phew) increased GPU core to 445 - 9535 increased GPU core to 481.5 - 9765 increased mem clock to 207 - 9789 increased mem clock to 211 - 9897 increased mem clock to 216 - 10078 (w00t) increased mem clock to 220 - 10191 increased mem clock to 225 - 10194 increased mem clock to 229 - 10392 increased mem clock to 234 - 10459 increased mem clock to 238.5 - 10525 increased mem clock to 240.5 - 10534 increased mem clock to 243 - 10651 increased mem clock to 245.5 - 10641 increased mem clock to 247.5 + reboot - 10861 increased mem clock to 249.5 - 10797 increased mem clock to 252 - 10938 Now ive not hit a ceiling on memory clock so far; but im starting to get worried ... im using the rage3d overclocking tool and im nearing the top of the slider; is there any danger to running the ram at this speed? Im using a powercolor radeon 9600 pro .... i heard some people say not to buy this because of "crappy elixir ram" but i just looked through my window and the ram chips say samsung on them pretty clearly, and i dont seem to be having any problems with it So just to clarify; my question is this; is there any danger of running the memory/core this high. im running stock cooling, but am not getting any artifactis or corruption. Specs as sig Thanks for your help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 If you're not getting artifacts and not smelling burning silicon, theres no need to worry. But more coolin' ain't never hurt nobody . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
