Hey, welcome. Well the temps here in the pics look safe, to how much do they climb to on load? What driver version are you using? Have you put the fan control in "manual" mode in RT? If so, best let it manage it automatically.

 

[martthefart]

using driver 187.13 beta fan on auto controll ran furmark benchmarking 1240by 1240 windows 7 64bit

 

[martthefart]

any good settings to recommend on my gts250 new to overclocking

 

[martthefart]

sry driver 197.13

You can easily get 100mhz and even more (I've seen 800mhz+ cloks on the gts250), just try and experiment with it, go up notch by notch, until you hit a wall and see strange things on your screen (dots or artifacts etc) For you fan speed problem, try another driver, or if it persists, try locking it manually (usually its 40% on idle and before you game etc just put it higher)

Out of curiosity though, are the stock clocks really 675? The couple of gts250 I've handled were at 738 (stock) and an msi one which came factory OC, I remember it was higher.

incresed the clock speed to 800 temps went up to 64 degrees on fur mark but the fan did not increase stayed @ 5 percent could not hear it speed up? but if i manually turn it up i can hesr the fan speed up is there a temp to reach befrore the driver speeds up the fan tyvm martyn

Hm if you read my above post, I think you have the green edition. It uses less energy, so they've clamped down on power a bit. I don't know if it explains your gpu fan though.

 

[martthefart]

yes the stock speed is 675 on manual its says GV_N250_1GI

 

[martthefart]

dont say green edtion on the box?

 

[martthefart]

Gv-n250-1gi On Box

Its been a while since I haven't had a gts250. Maybe someone else can help you on that. Most I've handled like I said earlier had the clock @ 738. But I remember once having a 9600gt green edition from palit in a customer's build, it was a green edition (it wasnt specified so on the box or manual) which had its clock lower than usual. I wouldn't worry about that though. 64 on load on a g92 is a pretty good temp tbh. They used to run hot.
