Highest Overclock on 7600gt, without vmod

Maybe you have God's 7600?
 
o.O, YAY, i hope he's not angry with me... again :(
anyways, i broke a world record then i think lol.
highest overclocked 7600GT, ill make a new topic, asking for anyone to beat my clocks lol
 
Uhh... my CPU clock (2.77GHz) pwnz yours, thats about it.
 
Now overclock it to DX10 :laugh:
 
You should probably clock the CPU more.. and leave the card at 800/1000 stable... via BIOS flash (there's a link in my sig). Good settings would be:
CPU: 400x7 = 2.8GHz
RAM: 1:1 ratio = DDR800 4-4-4-12 2T
GPU: 800/1000 flashed in BIOS
 
ya, my multi is 8x but i have to wait for stupid asus to get back to me with a bios fix, so i can actually overclock my cpu properly, i might hit 5000, i dunno but i might
 
To get 5GHz, you need a QX6850 and some LN2
 
noo, i mean 5000 3dmarks, if i can overclock my cpu more
 
Quick! Play the lottery before your luck runs out!
 
Craig,

That's friggin amazing.

I have pushed my 7600GT Silent Pipe to 610/750 and works well although I noticed in GTR2 the game play at high speed wasn't as smooth, but when I put it back to stock she's fine.

Got any tips on how I should best approach getting the best out of mine?
 
ya try to overclock your core more than your memory, most stability problems arise when the memory gets too hot or when it becomes overstressed, rather than the core (memory is much more sensitive than core)

a 20MHz increase in core is better than a 20MHz increase in the memory.

so i would try to increase ur core rather than memory.
i dont know if this has anything to do with me reaching high clocks, but i put the pci-e bus to 112.50MHz, i think it may help eek out a few hz, but im not too sure, there has been many debates over pci-e bus overclocking, some may say it can cause instability, others will say it helps stabilize overclocks.

i dont think anyone really knows the answer but give it a go and overclock the pci-e bus (ntune or bios)
 
ey, im in nibitor, and im gonna put in my overclocks, i have throughly tested them, and no artifacts and no hangs or crashes.
so im gonna flash it :).
oh and i see the option for memory timings, if i get tighter timings i get higher memory overclocks right?
i think it works like that for gpu memory, rather than ram, which is the opposite

i think i have 1.3ns mem, how can i get that to say 1.0ns, like on the 7950's
 
You can't.
 
then wats the purpose of the memory timing editor?
should i reduce timings, hoping for a better overclock, or tighten them to get a better overclock?
 
loosen by about 3 each for a better oc

also this is your HW rank not quite 1st ;)

Hardware Rank: 14th GeForce 7600 GT - 2.7 points

what do you have in AQ3?
 
aww :(, i think i either need a new mobo or new cpu to get up to that lol.

anyway im gonna buy some variable resistors, will help me get a much higher overclock, since pencil mods, have been known to wear out rather quickly.
also the electrical conductivity fluctuates, which is proven.
so im gonna buy a couple of 10k resistors, and try my hand at some soldering :D

would 10k be enough? or should i go for 50k?

if u guys got any knowledge and wisdom you would like to share, please tell me :)

Thanks Craig,

From what I have read on the silent pipe the heat sink does not cover the memory so your advice makes extra good sense.

Ill give it a go shortly.
 
aww np problem mate :), so guys u think i should go for those potentiometers (variable resistors), im thinking of either 50k, or 10k models.
which would be best to get, and would i have a more stable and higher overclock, rather than using a pencil mod
 
anyone??
 
No difference really between a pancil mod and the potentiometers , in performance . Just makes it easier to raise and lower , or dial in the EXACT voltage. If you are happy with the way it is leave it, as adding the potentiometers is a bit of work to get done correctly!
