i think thats wot i have done lol
the are 2 clocks in the performance settings in the xpert tool and i have set these to just before the yellow par on the markers. has anybody done this and is it worth doing it? i know the card onli has a heat sink so what about heat? is it safe or does it become unstable if ya whack it up 2 full,cos i feel the card is pretty slow even tho its onli 64mb lol thanks for the help (sorry if its in the wrong forum but im new ! !) |

That REALLY was not a good idea!
Best to leave at defaults unles you know what you are doing Still, it didn't catch fire so i guess you got lucky... Run some games, see if it crashes or gets white dots all over the place, or crashes.

Your lucky, you can cause serious damage doing things like that.

general rule of thumb: dont mess with things you arent sure about!

on that card, your fine at those speeds you had it to, I know from experience, but when you do bump up your speed, make sure you wath your temps... but unless you push high yellow... your not gonna see any diff.

Hmm, maybe not the answer your looking for, but how about a cheap 128mb card?? Usually can find real cheap online, and it should look better than any over clocking done to a 64 MB one.
