8600GT overclock !

mhrlive · 01-25-2008, 09:14 PM

can I over clock my 8600GT core clock more than 700 mhz without Vmood ??
some one overclocked the 8600GT core to 1GHZ

HERE an article about that

Well it runs at 540MHz stock, and because I don't have any personal experience with the 8600GT I don't know how overclock friendly it is, however after reading that article I wouldn't doubt it that you could reach 700MHz core clock without volt modding it. The only way to know for sure though is to test it.

haha, if you overclock it too high then the computer will either lock up or reboot, but no physical harm done.

are you sure of that !!!
I remember my old FX5200 core was physically damaged, so I become very afraid of overclocking my cards

How did you damage it?

If you raise the clock speeds too high the computer should just lock up, I've never had a card that actually was damaged simply by changing the clocks.

^overvolting will physically harm your card though..

Yes it may, although that is not the same as overclocking.
