Video Card overclocking?

[dmw16]

I have a GeForce2 GTS with 32MB of DDR Ram with the chip running at 199.66Mhz and the RAM running at 332.89Mhz. What is the highest I can safely go if I want to overclock the card? Also, one a similar note, any suggestions on a way to cool this card?
thanks,

I run mine at 210/380. Overclocking the memory is alot more important than the core, because that's where the bottleneck is.

For better cooling, you could add heatsinks on the ram chips and change the fan on the core to a blue orb.

run it as high as it can go w/out causing artifacts of any sort...
as for "safe"...depends on how long u want your card running for...10 years vs. 5?

since vid cards go outta fashion so fast, i tend to abuse mine pretty badly...i haev this thing on the brink of causing artifacts - 1mhz higher for either core or mem...

i'll keep it like this too until i either fails or i sell it...

Note to self, never buy a vid card from nortexoid.

See below on my Pro, also try to get a small fan getting air in straigth on the card (Backside of case) You can usually find small air-intake holes, slap on an old crappy fan and get some fresh&cool in. Thermal paste between HSF and GPU should also do something to lower temp...

LOL!

A slot cooler will help a lot. It takes all the hot air from the video card and dumps it out of the case.

If you have an old heatsink laying around, saw it into small pieces and glue it on the memchip. You can go a long way with old processor HSF, won't cost you a thing and you will feel like a reborn enviromentalist doing your part in the everlasting struggle to recycle
