overclocking.......

[anilthomas26]

am overclocking ma evga 6800gs 256mb.......

i overcclocked it to 427/1192 from 400/1100 ........ nd the temp while running 3dmark05 goes upto a max of 76-77.....

got a max score of 5277.....

ma config is....

amd 2800+ 64bit
1gb ram
asus k8n mobo

now the prob is that...... i cant overclock it any further...(am using rivatuner)..

if i increase the core or memory frequency anymore rivatuner tells that the driver failed the test nd to reduce the frequency.......sometimes if i try testing a particular frequency a few times it works but with no significant results.....

i tried changing the drivers too...... was using 92.91...... switched to the latest....... nd then to the once that came with the card....... no use.....

so guys .... cant i overclock anymore ?????

I suggest you to get better cooling fer your card. Sometimes, stability issues can cause such a bottleneck .

Try Powerstrip. Its a very powerful video utility. I think it might enable you to overclock more than what you can now.

Caution: Exercise extreme caution.

nd how much will a water coolin units for ma gpu cost ????

^^^ inc the PCI-e bus freq from the bios to 110-120MHz.

whats over clocking?

 

[anilthomas26]

ma card is an agp 8x....

so is ther any increase frequency for agp ????

Yes ...
Get Powerstrip... Though it is a shareware, but you can surely overclock during the trial period...

^^^ inc the PCI-e bus freq from the bios to 110-120MHz.

Damned,how did I miss it... Yeah.. anil, do that.

 

[anilthomas26]

my card is not pci e..... but an agp8x ......

 

[kaustav_geek]

Oopsey Have you given Powerstrip a chance ?? Try it and tell me if you were successful

 

[anilthomas26]

ya..... powerstrip allows to raise the frequencies higher...( since it doesnt test the frequencies bfore applying which rivatuner does ).....

but i get artifacts....... nd temp goes higher....... i guess if i could control the temp i could overclock more......

so guys...... r there any good water cooling kits available in india...... in cochin(kerala) maybe ?????

nd if yes...... how much would it cost ????
