Highest 6600GT OC?

[potato28]

I just need to know. Also the card is made by Gigabyte, dont worry about the model.

I'd say around 600/1250?

PCI-E or AGP?

PCI-E. Thnx for the 600/1200. My friend just wanted to know.

you shuold be able to get higher clocks out the PCI-E...the bridge chip on the AGP ones (like mine) gets pretty hot when overclocking and seems to limit them...

I run at 625/1307 at the moment. I plan to voltage tweak and shoot for more.

Could I plz have your secret? I have the same cooler as you on my 6600GT, and my record is

610/1255 34C idle, 43C load.

Even then I got artifacts. I was using RivaTuner, so the temps are accurate. The artifacts aren't temp related I'm sure, how do you do it?

I use a pea size drop of arctic silver 5, other than that I haven't done anything special. From what I read about other 6600 overclocks I'm pretty lucky to get what I have. I'm loveing the fact that this card only cost me $170 about 6 months ago and still isn't haveing any performance issues yet.

Yeah, it needs cooling of its own. Highest I've gone is 550/1100.

610/1255 is great :thumbsup: and those temps are fine.
