  1. I got a 9600GT superclocked, it is preset to 675 clock speed. I can get it to run through the benchmarks in the 700 clock speeds but it wont play a game for 10 minutes before it will crash even with a minor change in clock. Any one one else have nay luck with there 9600 superclocked?

    hi i have asus en8500gt its a silent card (fanless) i managed to oc it to 702/477 and now i have question i worry about this card at this point so will it sooner burn or just produce artifacts/hang when i ll go and overclock it further? currently if i run 3dmark it has ~96centigrades at 702/477 what would u recommend? quiting overclocking or trying it further... ps. this cards gpu overclocks by 27mhz tick so its not as safe as fluent overclocking by 10mhz or so on ps2. im not gonna overclock memorys anymore coz it hanged on 5xx/490 so i droped mem to xxx/477 and no further mem oc is planed thx for any replies

    My old rig had a C2D E6300 running @ 3398Mhz, with 2x1GB DDR2 667Mhz Team Elite Dimms. Since i wasnt able to push the dimms farther than 980mhz (at 2.25v)i decided to buy some new ones. I bought 2x1GB DDR2 800Mhz Team Elite Dimms. After instaling (removed the oc to stock, but left it all in manual) them i booted the pc and ran Prime95 and a Memtest for 1 hour, to let them settle in. After that, i let the pc cool for a bit and rebooted to enter the bios. I went to raise the frequency, but at about +50mhz it wouldnt boot, so i raised a voltages to the ones i found to be safe under the old dimms (2.1v) but it wouldnt boot, so i settled for 2.05v. This time i…

    On a lot of forums people rumour that RAM on the HD2900XT, or the 9600GT (like I have) should not run above a 1000 MHz as it will slowly die when you do that. However, nowhere I can find a real strong argument why this either would or would not be the case. So my question is: Is it OK for GDDR3 to run above 1000 MHz or not? And if so, why?

    It is time for Revision 1.3... It is based on the 1.2 Revision with some improvements like : 1. Bigger mass on the bottom. 2. It is about 20cm instead of 22cm but it is more wide. 3. I removed the last step from the bottom(outside) and make it one piece with the whole base to add more mass too. 4. The interior is fullfilled with "lines" , i mean that it is not plane and crafted..it is like you have very small rings inside the whole pot from the top to the base in order to have as bigger surface as it can have from this rings to hold temps better on high loads.... Some noob photos.. They arrived n this situation.. 10 to start... …

    Whoa, I thought of you guys when I saw this one!!! I wonder how reliable an overclock like this is? I wonder if it would run for more than 24 hours? Any way 2.133Ghz that's Blazing! I watch the Dram Exchange Index and memory is on the way up, may not mean much for some of you guys as you seem to be extremely wealthy! LOL! * I wonder who will have the best Cebit 2008 Overclock coverage?

(Pentium 4 3,2 ; ECS 915-m5 ; 2x512 PC3200 (not equivalent) ) When i set the FSB more than 240, the computer won't boot - it shows that cant find any boot devices, bios also doesn't find the boot devices (HDD's). And i have one question else: Why I cant change fsb:ram ratio?

    Whilst these cards are “single slot cards” They are 2 separate chip/cores on one card and as such are defeating the point of single card benching imo Should these cards that come out once a year have the "Own Ranking" As the true single card “one chip/core” cards are being removed from the rankings by these units i feel like i have been racing a car all season with one engine and at the last race of the year cars with two engines have been entered in my class and have won the day thanks baz 3D03: rankings below

    I have bought the MSI 8600GT oc edition with DDR3. I havn´t bought an extra cooling for that card, only a chipset cooling set, but havn´t installed them. What do you mean is the maximum i can reach with this setup of Hardware? Standard: GPU: 540 Shader: 1108 DDR3: 700 New-Standard-MSI: GPU: 580 Shader: 1508 DDR3: 800 My Overclocking now: GPU: 761 Shader: 1682 DDR3: 835 My Problem is my Mainboard, i have a Fujitsu Siemens Mainboard. CPU-Cool does´t Support that Board. My Aquamark Points are the same with standard and overclocked (can´t be) because my FPS in all scenes are better before overclocking.

    Hello all. I am having some dificulties with P5K premium voltmods. I am using this thread written by SF3D at XS as a guide:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=145142 The guide was written for the P5K dlx, but many have posted/told me that it should be the same for the P5K premium. The ICs, reisistors, etc look IDENTICAL to the pictures. The only difference at all that I have noticed is with the heatsinks for the bridges and mosfets. 1. Vcpu not working at all. 2. Vcpu measure point makes NO sense to me whatsoever. I see no coils under or around any of the circled area in the original pic. 3. Vpll measure point does not appear to be…

    I have a Gigabyte iRAM, but I have a problem with it. If I have windows running on another disk, I can use the ramdisk without problems. But if I install windows on the iRAM, it doesn't work: there's a notice "no operating system found", and it seems like there's no partition on it... Any ideas?
