please post a guide on how to OC a GPU mga bossing! heheh

im new to GPU OverClocking mn gud.

what softwares do u guys use to check the stability of the OC setting?

FurMark? Kombustor? OCCT? 3DMark 11? Unigine Heaven? Crysis Benchmark Tool? etc...

also post ur highest GPU OC screenies para mas nice! heheh

Stay away from Furmark and its variants, Furmark is more on VRM ( power delivery ) testing and uses a zero latency rendering and can damage the VRM's if they are not cooled properly.

Use MSI afterburner to overclock, 10-20Mhz at a time, I initially run 3mdark06,Vantage,3dmark11 then heaven 2.5

For vantage theres a normal rendering glitch on the first game test so better have a few runs with that at stock clocks and get acquainted with the rendering glitches, in heaven 2.5 theres also a glitch at the dragon statue scene when it is rotated at normal viewing level during the time demo.

I recommend 1 run for each then go to actual game testing, some will recommend to loop the crysis and crysis warhead time demo for 50 loops. I skipped that part and just moved to gaming.

Its a tiring process though, gains are minimal but every drop of performance counts.

okay ra ba ug mag oc ko nga ako cooler is h50? naa man ni ingn uban nga d daw advisable

The Corsair H50 is a very decent cooler and it all depends on the current temps you have..

Boss,
I think imageshack still has the thumbnail view where we get 640x480 thumbnails but bigger images when we click the pictures, maybe we could use those instead?

@EarlZ : ang current temps nako is 33 ang pnaka highest. ok ra i oc nako wd A890GXM-A Black Series from ECS?

Honestly bai mag lisod kog tubag ana coz I dont have experience with that specific board, but you can always try and see where it goes, just limit the cpu voltages and everything *should* be fine!

Good idea!
Basically overclocking may damage your CPU, may reduce its life span or may even kill it outright if done incorrectly.


For those who are looking for stress testing tools

1.) Prime95 v26.6 or higher , make sure you check round of checking. Blend test for 2-4hrs is enough for me as I dont wanna degrade my processor. normal usage follows after blend

2.) LinX with AVX binaries ( for Sandy Bridge ) Intel uses this application to fully stress the processor and also for voltage binning purposes, this app runs about a full 10-20c hotter compared to anything else.
LinX v 10.3.3.006 with AVX

@EarlZ : i decided nga dli nlng ko mag overclock kay lisod na ug madaot ang cpu. mahal2 bya pd ning x6 .. murag d kasaligan jd ang board.

If you dont touch the voltages and just OC at stock volts there should not be any worry about damages but that also a good call, playing it safe!

Capable man guro na pra OC imo board.. As what EarlZ said, limit lng jd sa voltahe or stock lng. If asa kutob imo OC nga wa ni touch sa voltahe, dha sa lang taman. Sunod na pd kng kurso na. Hehe

bitaw bro, lisod na... hehe
