i need help from all the experts here

using (asus) ati radeon 3650 256mb ddr3

i OC my gpu from 725/800 (idle temperature at 38c°, load at 45c°)

to

900/1000 (idle temperature at 39c°, load at 48c°).. max i can get at 920/1090 (idle temperature at 41c°, load at 50c°), any further my PC goes.. , but being cautious, i just set it to 900/1000.


my question:

1. is this good enough? anyone here using this GPU can get higher?

2. is the temperature is considered ok?

3. do i need to add another fan for cooling, right now just using standard fan

1. that is quite good for a 3000 series card. any benchmark result before and after OC? increment in FPS?

2. That is more than safe temp. but i dont know if that card can handle that load temp after OC. Even my previous 9500GT, when reaching 50°c it start to hang.

3. Try furmark, go for stability test, and you will know either you need extra cooling or not.

Good Luck!

haven't done any benchmark yet. but i tried playing several games, everything fine, no hang whatsoever.

furmark? will do. thx

furmark. My favorite stability test.

based on 900/1000

furmark test..temp goes up from min 44c to 69c

haha..you should planning to put extra fan on it.

benchmark scores not that much diff. around 300+..hmm..fps only improved 3-4.

If like that better keep the old setting
