i manually adjust each clock speed.i do that using the expertool app that come bundle with my gainward 9800gt.

overclock directly will cause some artifact on the card for me.
terus flash bios with new clock ....

i downloaded geforce release 175 version 175.19.. but after install this driver.. my computer become not detect the GC.. how come? i did something wrong? i'm using geforce 7300 btw

i'm currently using forceware 177.79 beta. funny thing is riva tuner detects it as forceware 177.72.

it is oc able and quite stable.

thanks to hilmiangah's tip on seting the memory clock manualy i was able to get 6900++ on 3dmark05.

good to hear that.try urs is 8600gt rite??

yup. but i notice that the heat sink on my laptop emits a creaking sound when i'[m really pushing it. considering that the laptop is made from plastic and an alloy it was quite frightening.

to solve this problem i'm trying to rig aq cooling hose from my aircond directly to the cooler intake fan to help with the cooling.

loaded temperature is around 65 degrees. that is in an air conditioned room.

under normal situation unloaded an unclock the temperature reading is around 56 degrees.

does anyone have the working temperature on nvidia's graphic cards?

i would really like to know the working temperature of this card. some say at 80 degress it is still acceptable but judging from the heat that emits from the cooling vent i don;t think it is really advisable to let the heat reach that high.

my friend had a laptop with intergrated geforce 6150, it was running at 80+ to 90C when load. quite scary though. luckily it did not melt the parts inside. IMHO 56 idle and 65 load is still quite ok.

hahahaha this heat will burn my arm hair off considering the heat vet is located on the left hand side
hahaha

well my old 2600xt temp on load reach 75'c and i think that is normal bcoz a gc has more transistors than a proc.

hi.. i'm just bought a gc and it work perfectly with my rig.
but the problem is the heat..
idle load heat reach 70'c while max load reach over 95'c (especialy when i'm playing crysis with max setting) and will hang after couple minute playing it..
and its make me freakin out..

so, i was planning to replace the stock cooler with better vga coller..
what is the best vga coller within my budget around rm250.

i was planning to buy cooler master, water cooler but i didnt pretty sure yet..
wanna ask LY forumer opinion first coz many 'sifu' is here..

i use 8800 ultra gc

95 degrees

abit more then can cook water.

better see what is wrong with your air flow management in your cpu.

maybe the air flow is not efficient enough to get the heat out from the casing. u can try opening the side panel and put a table fan to see if it makes any different.

aftermartket cooling kits are advisable and easy to install but try to isolate where the problem is coming from first and from there.

hmm, try Artic Cooling Accelero

if you're budget is thicker , try look for Thermal Right HR-03

both are just heat sink , fan not included.

95C just wont fry up 8800ultra

em..
my friend use table fan to cool up his 4870 and its look funny..
as the stock cooler failure to do its job..

i ask my friend either add some fan into the casing for better air flow and he said better buy new vga cooling.. increase the air flow to circulate internal air only reduce little bit of heat inside the cpu casing not the gc core..

yes , so buy a new 3rd party gpu heat sink

yup, gonna find 1 today before my gc fried up..
tq for the support..

reminds me of my bro's biostar 7300gt. passive cooling, idle temp around 80+C, load temp can exceed 100C! dunno why it's super duper hot. tried various methods to improve airflow in the case, but i dont think it worked. after about a year or so using it, it died.

y passive cooling?..
your bro didnt add fan on top of it?..

nope..cant find a fan that can suit the mounting holes. 3rd party heat sinks are overbudget..so just left it like that lo..good thing that it was a cheap card. if not sure sakit hati.

why dont try this ?
7300GT DDR2 256MB , before , load 70-80C , after , load 60-70C ,
Ide : 60C before , after 50C

Cost Rm20

err u use wat?? is tat cheap cooler fan on the gc??? lol.. how u can fix onto it?? u drill holes??
