How far will a GeForce 2 GTS OC

[Scootin159]

I have a GeForce 2 GTS 32MB with a BlORB on the GPU, but no RAM sinks (yet). I went into the overclocking section of the nVidia drivers, but have no idea how far is too far. Like I know the LIMIT is dependant on each particular card as well as case cooling & stuff like that, but I just want to know what's a good starting point? 50mhz OC? 10mhz OC? How about for the RAM? 20Mhz?!?!?!

I do have a External Temperature sensor...so what would be a acceptable temperature for the core & memory?

overclocking the core is useless, the memory speed is what makes a difference.

I can get mine to 390 mhz. Just add 10 mhz at a time, and run 3Dmark, if you see pixels popping (white dots), then it's too high.

I can o/c the RAM to 400Mhz but cannot run the 3dmark for some reason. I do play games at high details and all with no problems at all. I can't even over my RAM by 2 Mhz if I want to run 3dmark.

Ok, thanks for the tips. I'll let you guys know how far it goes.

Last year I used to have a 32mb Elsa Gladiac Geforce 2 GTS card and I could overclock that to 220mhz core and 400mhz RAM.

I think I'm gonna wait for a day that's not 95* to do it though...my 40*c case temp won't help it right now. (case normally runs at like 30*c).
