6800GT Oc. Temp

sharpjaws

i was amazed by how far i just overclocked my 6800GT . core @ 430 MHZ and mem @ 1.1Ghz , i got lots of performence boost in 3d mark 05, overall 6018 marks, this is pretty amazing to me, but the tempture is getting hot too lol, CPU was stabel between 50 -55, but GFX card went right up to 65 'C :eek: am worried if this simpel test brings it to this hot, what happens if i am playing quake 4? or FEAR? could it go over that temp and possibely burn my card? or will i see artifacts on screen if it gose too hot b4 it burns? like a warning need some advise on this

i too have a 6800gt great card...

they cook at about 120 degrees... you.ve nothing to worry about unless you get artifacts.... anyway it'll turn itself off before it cooks automatically!

no worries:D

ah thats cool thanks i wont be worrieing now : but i have one qustion about ocking CPU and GFX card, i overcloked the card to 445 with reva tunner, and it was running with no artifacts or any thing , so i tried to oclock it more to 450, but i got a message about the driver faild dose that mean its the highest i can go with the card or is there tweaks that i can go more? and a qustion about CPU ocking . i have a AMD 64 3000 @ 2.0Ghz stock, PC4400 1 GB memories and a abit kv8pro 3rd eye motherboard, i can overclock my cpu to 2.3Ghz by changing the memory to ddr333 and FSBx to 3 , but i get no boost what so ever? not even 1 frame?the maxmum i can go on it is 2.3, no more, even 2.31 will crash .am i doing somthing wrong?

Doc_Savage

that's the overclocking limit of your (our) card.. mine's at 450mhz and 1.12ghz!

oh and 3dmark will bring a gfx to it's knees!!

as for the cpu.. i'm really not sure if you'll see any difference visibly.. i'll pass the buck and say ask a mod! do you run cpu benchmarks to test your changes?

With my Geforce i get 446 core and 1150 ram. The temp only gets to about 50c thats cause my room is always so cold.

3Dmark 2005 i get 4853points.
