How to Overclock Galaxy GTX 260+oc

[pewepew]

---

Hello Guys,

Kinsa diri kabalo mu overclock sa Galaxy GTX 260? Wala man koy nakita na guide sa google and other sites.
Plano nman jud ni nko e baligya kay palit unta ko new pero once na kabalo nko mu overclock dili nlng nko ni e baligya kay satisfied rman ko sa iyang performance, although dili cya maka ultra settings pero smooth lng ghapon cya sa mga latest games krn.

How to overclock? hehehehe...

Same principle raman na if mag oc ka ug vc. Some minor differences sa procedure lang if we compare it by generation but overall pareha ra na. Anyway, some reminders first before oc'ing.

1.) Check your vc temps. If taas na siya daan at load, then forget about oc'ing unless willing ka mag change to aftermarket cooler. What is considered high for most usually above 70c.
2.) Sufficient ba imo psu? Oc'ing vc requires additional power load. If sakto2 lang imo psu, then you might want to include it in your list in case oc'ing goes wrong.
3.) My way of oc'ing is 25mhz increment then test. Test software includes 3dmark 11/Vantage, MSI Kombustor, Crysis benchmark run (10 loops). Look for artifacts, usahay gagmay kaayo ang artifact pwede ka malipat. If naa lay usa ka artifact, that could lead instability in some games, so that is unstable for me. If unstable, decrement 30mhz. Do it one at a time for gpu clock and memory clock.
4.) Use MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision if supported.
5.) Daghan info sa web, for additional reference.
6.) Be patient. Rushing it out usually doesn't end up good.

Note:

Do it at your own risk.

Bro, mao ni akong temperature 50c, normal raba na boss?
my psu is gigabyte 550w. ok rana cya or i need higher psu?
ako gamit na oc utilities kay Xtreme Tuner from the website of my GPU.

I think 550w is sufficient for the card, unsay specs sa pc? 50c is that while idle? or during load?

[pewepew]

Specs
Processor: AMD Athlon X2 250 (3.0Ghz)
Ram: OCZ 4gb ddr2
Mobo: MSI K9A2 Neo2
GPU: GTX 260 896mb, 448bit

Ang 50c na temp is loading and 48c while idle

[Sempron Guy]

Is that while gaming? Download MSI Kombustor, run the benchmark, it should give you accurate temp readings. Btw, I see you're using an X2 250. You might not see any gains with your oc.

[pewepew]

I run the game called Inversion it runs in 70-80c, nag search ko sa average temp sa gtx260, naa mga tubag normal rdaw ang 80c na temp sa gtx260. Boss, so walay gamit ako pag oc kng kani lng nga processor?

[Sempron Guy]

80c mura naman gud na ug danger zone, acceptable pero dili maayo if perminti. Well if mag overclock man gud ka ug vc, hit or miss na. Naay instance taas imo oc nga na achieve pero gamay ra ug gain sa games. Now if mag oc ka niya limited ka sa cpu which I think mao imo case karon then, don't expect that much gain "enough for you not to go for an upgrade".

[pewepew]

Boss, wala pa nko gi oc ang gpu. mao jud to cya ang result. so, everytime magduwa ko dili diay safe? krn pman ko kabalo na mudagan diay ug 70-80c kng mgplay ko hi settings without overclocking.

[Sempron Guy]

Dili sa ingon nga "di safe". Its just that with that temp, overclocking is not an option. So to sum it up, it's not worth it. Let's wait for the rest of guys for their opinion.
