hondacity Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 OC is a risky thing to do if and only if you're not prepared mine is OC'ed OC only if you're adventurous or if you're not satisfied with your gameplay... cpu 2.66ghz to 3.56 ghz temps are ok..but haven't check the northbridge temps yet you can't really fry your gpu or your cpu..they have monitors to check if you're overheating already... download all those stuff first...get the feel of using the above mentioned apps Quote Link to comment
mikejudo Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 bro i'm planning to go sli for gpu...any advice if my current gpu coreclock speed is 650mhz and i'll pair this with another msi, the one with copper pipe - MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 but its core clock speed is 660mhz. Any ideia if this gpu is available in gilmore? where did you buy your sli bridge or connector? Quote Link to comment
hondacity Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 dude! sli needs a motherboard that supports sli and you have to have the same model of vcs... how was your results by the way? post mo yun sa 3dmark06 Quote Link to comment
redfurry Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 @mikejudoyou can synchronize the core clock, shader clock, memory clock of two vc by using riva tuner rivatuner guide and download. may kilala ako na nag SLI ng 8800gtx and 8800ultra . binabaan nya yata yung clock ng ultra or tinaasan nya ang speed ng gtx to ultra speed.

111222333444555 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 currently using Inno3d 8800GT, awaiting my GTX from states this march if the 9800 arent released yet. Quote Link to comment
hondacity Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 @mike and redfurry check slizone.com you can't mix two diffrent gpu cores... slower clocks will be followed if you have two different cards you can match two differenct manufacturers... you have to adjust shader clock as well and the memory freqs @juzam1 ano set up mo?
