hey everyone im new to these forums, anyways i just bought a 6800gs AGP and i unlocked the pipes everything works fine and im just o/cing it and right now im at 416/1110
and the temp idles round 52-53 nothing really wrong that i can see im just wondering if i can oc higher or is that temp to high or what D: im new to overclockin too. What do you guys think?


oh temp just went up a notch 54c idle is that too hot? (it is really hot in this room right now too normally it isnt i donno if that will change it much tho)
im going to go test it in a game and see what the temp goes too.

just tested in css at 800x600 everything as low as it can got and my average fps 80-120
and now its at 56c gpu temp it isnt performing as well as i thought it would. Everyone was saying u can run anygame on high, well i was play BF2 and i maxed it out and i was laggins soo much i could move this is on the internet tho but i have Cable and i when to the server with the lowest ping i could find D: (in css i noticed a bunch of glithes while choosing servers and teams but once i was playing it ran fine)

You can't turn everything on high in BF2 w/out 2gigs of ram. Don't blame the vid card for everything it's not always the choking point.

QFT. 756mb ram is really holding you back.

756MB seems like a strange quantity to me... :roll: I think someone stole 12MB of it... If your temps stay high, you might need to mount a NV SIlencer for optimal cooling...
