Idea!

[Gunny04]

Well I was running the sims 2 and it was a little laggy, and I was remembering the specs on the old 6200... then I thought, the 6200 was 450MHZ by 600 (or something like that) this 7300LE is 400/648.... why not overclock it? So.... I put it at 500Mhz/700 something, Ran it for an hour or two in both FS and other games, ran about 6 degrees warmer on idle and load.... so I just threw it up to 524Mhz and its still stable, 10C more than stock (about 76C idle and 86-90C load) But without a fan I dont think thats bad, now..... I doubt it will go melting as its only in yellow but it might still right? Cheers, Gunny

my system hits 80C at factory settings (its a home build so i mean factory settings of the components), its not healthy to run at those temps well atleast not for a long period of time. so if you think you have problems look at my PC

as i always say, im only here to make everyone else look better by comparision

and here i have

I run 45C on my processer at load, and 51C on the GPU at load.

Yay for Zalman (CNPS-9500LED / VF900Cu)

This is GPU, My cpu sits between 25-39C I need to get that upgraded bios for my board so that I can See what it truely is.... graphics card idles at 67C with 124Mhz overclock, Max load around 92C.... (Thats the FSX demo) Cheers, Gunny

EDIT: I could probably knock off about 5C on all of my components if I put a 120MM 106CFM Fan in the back, remember, this computer only has a Heatsink fan!

Gunny, I would of thought that 92degrees is abit warm for a Nvidia card.

Its a bit warm for any card. When your trying to boil your GPU the rest of the card tends to melt

lol.... its about 85ish now musta been a false temp? (max load that is) gets down to 65 with Idle if it sits for 20 mins....

EDIT: I have maxed its clock out for the GPU, 563Mhz and running stable! Runs FSX fine without traffic (I might have a little traffic going as I was watching cars driving) at about 13.7-19.8FPS..... that is.... the demo, and it does stutter, I cant wait to see what it does at O'hare or somehere  ;D I have an idea though, fire it up, try to take off, start smelling something funny, and look in case and....... Cheers!

Well considering he has a 7300LE core overclocked by 163MHZ on stock passive cooling I am not surprised.

I'de like to try cooking on it though....things could get intresting when your cooking soup on your GPU.

PS: So what exactly does melting silicone smell like.

[flymo]

i get my new pc today so i will oc my OLD GPU for you guys and tell you what melting silicon smells like.... thats as long as their is no poisenous fumes invloved

Don't worry there arn't. Right after your done, you can spraypaint in a closed room with no vents.

the cards running 53C stable.... thats because I am freezing my arse off...... my room is probably 40-50F so... that explains it! lol but yea, you could cook on it on a nice warm summer day!

Cheers, Gunny
