[TUTORIAL] How to Overclock a Graphics card

royalmarine · 04-04-2008, 12:49 AM

spent almost 4 hours doing this a few weeks ago then i realised i was getting no where as i was getting error's with my fan speed controls...

didnt know why until i remembered i stuck an aftermarket cooler on my 8800gt that doesnt have a 3pin connector only a molex for power...

/me wins stupid award!

love the review. about time there was an updated one since rivatuner updated!

Nice tutorial

The only thing i would suggest to some, is that on most graphic cards you won't need to mess with the fan because most will change automatically according to temperature. Also, 100% fan on some video cards can be dangerous and kill the fan quickly.

OK, I'll edit it to include that. On my 8800GTS 320mb it doesn't really change fan speeds much when on auto,
