I didn't wanna hijack mep916's post, so I decided to make my own.
Although I'm very unfamiliar with overclocking GPUs, I was going to attempt OCing my 8600GTS with QTITool, but a problem arose before I even started. When I play BF2 on full settings, my GPU runs at about 75*c. I'm thinking this is a little hot. I do have a PCI Slot Fan, but that doesn't seem to be helping the temps much. Should I be worrying about the temps? Or should I continue to try to OC it? What temps are good on a semi-load?
And lastly, I understand OCing the CPU pretty well, so I was wondering if OCing a GPU was similar to OCing a CPU. I see that I can adjust the core clock and the memory. How should I go about this?
