Has anyone destroyed their vid cards by overclocking? Specifically MX owners.

Just curious. I killed my old MX, but was able to get a free replacement. I haven't overclocked the memory, but I just installed a blorb and have the core running at 200.

my creative MX died not sure if it was because of the overclocking or not.

 

[MustangSVT]

killed my first radeon clocked at 210/210 from original 166/166. Odd thing is, it ran perfectly fine for 7 hrs, then next morning when i turned it on, i got this checkerboard screen with blue squares alternatingwith regular screen parts.

well my second one is runnin fine at 205/205 for months, but i still dont know why first one died.

Nope. Prophet 2 MX is stable at 200/225. Rock solid for months now. I've never killed a video card by accident On purpose is a different matter...

I've never killed a vidcard myself, but i've seen it done a number of times... never heard of the card dying itself, but you'll fvck up your memory (right?) so that you end up with permanent artifacts like MustangSVT.

Personally, unless i can get more than 20% increase in performance, it's not worth it.

I killed my Voodoo1 card many moons ago... and almost did the same to my CL Annihilatotor SDR (yes I was one of the nuts who o/c'd his Voodoo1 card).
Now I have a AIW Radeon (tried to o/c it but the DvD playback would currupt when it was o/c'd).

I ruined the memory on my old MX by overclocking it too far. Underclocking the memory would decrease the artifacts, but they would come back after half an hour of playing.
