hi =) im not very clear about overclocking, and im using Gecube Radeon X550 DDR2, how to do it and can overclocking the ram also?

use rivatuner or atitools. can download at guru3d.com. if use rivatuner go to hardware monitor or something, enable low level overclocking. if atitools go to manual overclocking menu...

this thread should answer all ur questions....

icic. it will damage the 3d card or nto de?

if ur casing and gc cooling is ok cannot burn. and if do overclocking the software test can handle or not. if can handle, stable, shouldnt have a problem. nowadays graphics rarely burn. usually got thermal throttling. if gc too hot then pc will auto restart. and most gcs can stand over 120 degrees celcius...

ic. i also having templeture problem for MSI 945PL Neo mother board, it auto detech but have 1 Red colour. i dont know wat is that, it show 12V de

It seems you kinda new in this werld...but nevermind, everyone's the same...

C'mmon let me tell you a story...

GC is made for displaying digital information such as colors,coordinates, in other words what you are seeing right now on your screen....See this smilie? -->

GC process the data and then transmit in on to your monitor via a cable which you usually take off and plug it back everytime you wanna move your computer someplace else...If you are using a notebook than don't read this...

Beside displaying all the beatifull pictures, colors, views and scenarios....it is also being built to support math programming which usually used by the gaming industries to create the ultimate 3D world and realism as real as it can be....Dont trust me? Try playing DOOM3 alone in the dark at 2 am...then tell me what is not true...

But then there lies a problem with too much realism....It need super duper fast processors to generate all the data/multiplications/add/subtract/times and other math terms (which sometimes even me myself dont understand)....without superfast processors, the outcome will deteriorate and wont be as real as it should be....

So whats the point of overclocking a GC you ask? The answer is NO Point At ALL...

Most people who overclocks their GC are bench-scores addicts....my advidce to u is better u don't be one of them or else, you'll have no life, no money to take your girlfriend out, not enough sleep at nite, eager to squeeze every milliinches of graphic processing power your puny GC can produce, sucking it dry and in the end blowing it up for what? A 20 marks diffrence from another bench-score addicts on the other side of the world...to me...that it is just plain waste of time...

Unless you're talking unlocking 'hidden' pipes, or additional processor memory integrator upgrades....Just keep your GC safe and sound running at factory clock speeds....

But then who say's you cant give it a try????

i will post the error windows here to9. its a templeture show red colour =/

i have a life, have money to take my gf out, i havent blown up my puny gc yet, and if i do it will give me a reason to get me a better gc. i do get enough sleep at nights too. oh wait i dont oc. at least havent done any oc-ing recently. but i prefer to keep it at stock. oc for benchies only. but already dissapointed+bored with this card...

where to enable low level overclocking? i cant see it

read the guy above your post, posts....you wanna be him???

hahahaha....well then again since you wanna o/c your GFx its better you understand to use the tools first before you blew up anything shall we....

In GFx overclocks, usually people start with Mem clock increase to find the max Mhz your rams can handle, then run it through extensive test using 3D Marks or other heavy 3D applications.....Then just say you found no flickering, color distorts, or crashed tests...you may now return your Mem clock to its default and raise the Clock of the GPU....repeat the extensive test (3D) to find the max clock and then compromise between overclocked Core and Memory Mhz speed...

if ur a noob, just get atitool, go to overclock menu, find max for gpu, than find max for memory. automatically. saves u the effort, just have to wait for the thing to oc 1mhz at a time and test 1 by 1 by 1 by 1 by 1 by 1.... click and wait. simple eh?

Like i said...u can either fly the wind...or wind the fly.....which do you prefer is your choice...i've once become an old stubborn ******* because someone in here called me a noob once.....i learn 1 at a time...its not the result that make you feel happy...it is the road towards achieving it which makes the 'ride' much more interesting....
