battery Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 yea sure...jsut makes sure you good air flow in the case and all should be well...unless you see artifacts of somekind then jsut tone it down a notch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marine Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 yeah it will be fine just don't overclock it that high at first boost it up a little test it for a day then boost it up some more and do the same thing over and over till you see artifacts then back it back down and put it between where you last set it and where it was set before that.

ccokeman Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Mine is at 423/369 with no problems. I think it still has a bit more left in her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_g Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 do you have any extra cooling on that ccokeman? Because i have one fan that blows onto my vid card or do you not have anything. heres pic of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special_K Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Get the VGA Silencer for it, you won't regret it man its beautiful! (and HUGE!) As far as your cooling now, it should be fine, just look out for artifacts... if you get any lower the oc and continue... you should be fine though, I'm running xt speeds completely stable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0DE Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 (edited) and another vote for the vga cooler.... use the atitool by W1zzard to find out your max stable 0 artifacting o/c http://atitool.ocfaq.com/ (it is a great program) and here is the development thread for it. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=693352 Edited March 14, 2004 by C0DE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
