Coolbits has a "detect optimal frequency" function, it's a sort of plug-in for the display properties (official nVidia). Although it's not very good, it does give you an idea of what your card can achieve.

Nintendo have gone wierd now. Microsoft said that the games were running at 25% power ages ago, like during E3.

Use ATItool. With the stock cooler my card does 474/260.

Yay! I need a TFT, my current monitor takes up most of my desk :rolleyes:

I see you have a SATA drive in there, what BIOS are you using Wazzle? If you've not flashed since you bought it you can check by looking at the numbers and letters below where it says "Press DEL to enter setup" The last two numbers will tell you the BIOS version.

I can't get my old version 23 BIOS to flash with the latest version 27. I do it right, it just seems to stop doing everything after I tell it to flash. Followed the instructions on the Abit website, but when I downloaded the file, there was nothing to unzip like it says there should be. Can...

Go off what the actual card says on it. Find a BIOS that matches the RAM and type of the card (as in: don't flash with an X800 BIOS) Read a flashing guide and follow what it says. Make a 'Flashing' disk. Flash the card. Don't cry to me if you break your card. I did this with my old...

OverClock Checking Tool. Google "OCCT" and it'll be at the top of the list (it's a french thing so google'll have to translate it) Idle Temps: Low 40s Load: Never higher than 50

I'm trying to raise the FSB at the moment, raising the multiplier seems to upset OCCT, in-fact raising anything upsets OCCT. I got stable at 2.2G with 1.65v (1.62v) and anything above that seems to make it unstable. MemTest shows no errors at 205FSB but I'm yet to try OCCT. I think I'll need...

This may explain the memory problems people have been having with Venices and San Diegos. Hmmmm.

Sounds a bit pointless then, thanks anyway. Do you know any ways I can get my system to clock higher? My system has pretty good air cooling on the CPU, Passive Zalman cooling on the northbridge, no RAM heatsinks though.. I've also got 2 80mm exhausts, a 120mm exhaust in the top of the case...

I've PMed him, not sure if he'll notice though. Does anyone know if it does anything other than force the FSB to 200Mhz? I can already do that in the BIOS, so if it does nothing else it seems pretty pointless.

I'm looking to O/C my CPU a bit more, but I can't get much more out of it right now, and it's not too stable when I go any higher. I've not done the L12 mod and I think that's what's holding me back, so does anyone know how to do it or where I could find a guide?

Strangely, they seem to be more expensive on Ebay.... I'll have a look at the 6600, but I've seen a nice 9550 that could put me on for a while. It seems that AMD's socket M2 will arrive next year so I may spend that little extra so I can have more performance until then. Equally, I may not...

Hello folks! It's been a while, I'm not sure why, maybe some other stuff came up that took over my life. Anyway, the point is I'm here to tell you a slightly tragic and amusing story. Here goes: The other day I decided my PC was getting a little dusty again, so I unplug everything, remove...
