both are risky.but if ur cpu more expensive than ur gc,thats ok if gc broke down....


ur score should be higher...

currently using Colorful 9600GT 512 DDR3...

highest oc is 750(core)/1800(shader)/1065(mem)

to keep temps cool and low, had to install 2x90mm Delta fans:





load temps were a solid 44'c

but OC was unstable ler... any other sugestions???

That is some hardcore cooling. My 9600GT can reach 760/1900 with 1100MHz memory with stock cooling. But temperature reaches close to 90C, but its stable even in Crysis

whoa... that temp is scary man... what's the max temp these 9600 can take anyway??? my gc is more like desperate cooling rather than hardcore... hehehehe... but so far so good la... so, going to keep it that way for now.

any advice on why my GC can't oc higher without crashing?? do i need to do vmods on this gc?? planning to change to 9800GTX in the near future.. but still loving this card though..

Meh, I'm not scared at all. My fully overclocked X1800GTO some years ago even reaches over 100C but its still stable as a rock, playing CoD2 1280x960 4xAA 16xAF. Ah those are the days when you can Vmod via software...my 9600GT maximum clock is 770MHz/2000MHz with 1150MHz memory, but I only tested to see its maximum overclock

I suggest you keep the card. With that overclocked, is there any game will slow down? Even at stock speed, I can play Crysis High setting at 1280x960 with minimal stuttering. This card is good enough for me, that I don't even need to overclocked it

If you wanted more, look for the voltmod on the card. I think Colorful uses different PCB from reference, so you can't use reference Vmod on this card. You can always Google

anyway to improve SM2.0 Score and HDR/SM3.0 Score in 3DMark06?

er... i manage to hit 800mhz 2k shaders...msi 9600gt no volt mod yet and i think i do need it..more than 800 sure something bad happens..i manage to score 10.9k 3dmark and asking for more

What's your proc?

guys just want to know.. what is d best brand for 9600gt.. i currently looking for galaxy 9600gt OC, msi 9600gt OC, Zotac 9600gt and xfx 9600gt (the price range from rm370-400).. which u all senpai2 here choose?

just take oc ver i guest..mine now running at 750,2k n 1065 mem...not try any higher than that...used watercooling...

hmm
jst wonder wat happen to the gc if over oc??

Planning to buy LCD 22"WS Full HD (1920*1080), can my 9600GT handle latest games well on native resolution?

i think 9600gt hard to handle lastest games in such a high resolution

Yeap, due to lower SP counts.

wat happen and symton if the gc is over oc??

Artifact will show and it performs slower than usual.

game will hang...

i raise all clock by 5% (650:900:1625 default) also crash badly... stupid palit @_@

hmmm i use amd 5000+ BE@ 3.38Ghz.. accelero s1 rev2 on the card and msi 9600gt stock fan..at 787mhz 2k shader now i get 112xx scores on 3dmark06..max temp only 47 degrees ~ hail accelero !!!

Hello guys, nobody use Foxcoon 9600GT here? I'm using Standard OC 665MHz/910MHz/1625MHz..

haven't OC'ed or anything,waiting for a new processor then i'll start benchmarking and overclock it..
