friend of mine is going to get a GTX 260 55 nm he is upgrading from a 9800 GT
and is building his new computer and want to Overclock his new pc and ask me what would be the best overclocking tool to use. right now its 4:50 AM so yeah he woke me up to find out and i got no clue. i remember some of the stuff i use in the past but don't know where to get it here is what i am looking for.

a safe place to download "3DMark06" and "Prime 95 64 bit"
and something to test the memory in windows i forgot the program name but it test memory in windows

PS: sorry if i spell something wrong or something i am still sleeping -,- 😕
 
If you can run Furmark for a few hours, with no artifacts and no crashing, then you're probably stable.

I say probably because when I had my GTX280 at 702/1458/1242 I ran furmark for 12 hours fine. Crysis was fine. However, UT3 artifacted in a few spots. So I toned it back down to 670/1404/1215 and all is well
 
wow i was so sleepy i forgot about Google XD thanks!

and thank you cmdrdredd for that info i am going to his house and was wondering what games to test on to thank you!
 
I think UT3's artifacts was due to the fact that it also has hardware physx. That uses the card in a different way than Crysis and Furmark. The card wasn't hot, but it did exibit some issues. I'm experimenting more with my setup and trying to inch the card higher.
