What is too high of a vagp setting???

[Duvie]

the board I have goes up to 1.65v and then 1.7 and 1.75v are red for danger area. However so is 2.8v+ on the vdimm and vcore clocking over 5.0%....

Personally, I never raise VAGP volts above 1.5 (default). Never helped in overclocking your cpu/motherboard or graphics from my experiences. But, I've read on Xtremesystems.org with some people using up to 1.9VAGP (modded, of course), to get insane overclocks, but do they run at this voltages everyday? I don't think so.

Actually it did help....


When you use the overclocking frequencies feature in the nvidia driver set it will detect optimal settings by testing them for you....

By raising is .05v the card was able to have optimal settings at 392 core / 785 mem....without the vagp raise it was listed as 385/770

as you can see they basically make the memory 2x the core or basically synch since the memory would actually at 785 be 392 then double pumped....

It is minor but depending on how high someone may be able to go say .2v to 1.7v that may add up to hefty amount....

Bump...anymore thoughts???

Bios default is 1.5v but the Neo2 undervolts to 1.47 I think....I run it at 1.6v like I have all of my cards since about 2 years ago....with no issues.....I should be fine since that may be 1.57v actual....should be able to handle 10% increase like most things...
