Inno3D GTX 660 Ti iChiLL Review from an Istoryan

[lloyd_joy]

ok bro...

na limot man ko's exact timing pero, sa akong ma picture-out, mura'g the same man sila'g timing sa 1680... 9-11-9-29... nag change man ko'g bclk to 105 sa 1680... pero, i-confirm nko ni unya'ng gabi-i inig abot nko sa balay...

ang sa GPU, remain sya' sa default factory OC. taa's naman pud ang default nya from the reference models... mi kick in man dayon ang high rpm sa fan once mo saka ang temp sa GPU... mo saka ang noise... high rpm man ni then dual 9: fan... samokan ko maminaw... kani man kug ang kepler, naa man gud ni boost... once mo kick-in ang boost, saka dayon ang temp as well as the fans rpm ug ang noise level...

Sige daw bro kay murag taas man kaayo ng 9-11-9-29.

Try setting daw your fan profile like this:

bati ni na setting ang sa rams bro? unsa'g negative impact ani...

sa fan setting, sa GPU na sya? wla pa gyud ko maka kuha'g sweet spot sa pag OC nya kay inig kick-in sa boost, mo saka man dayon ang temp. then mo abot dayon sa pag throttle sa kepler... tsk tsk tsk

[keropi]

Conservative kaayo na bro. It's more or less similar in speeds to 1333 9-9-9-24. I bet you can manually set them to 1600 9-9-9-24 first if stable, try 8-9-8-24 then 8-8-8-24. Im actually running 6-8-6-22 1600 24/7.

Tong sa gpu, sa afterburner to bro. Naa pud sa evga, asus, msi. Ambot kung unsay tawag nila sa tweaking software nila..Murag sa evga man tong gi-post nako but basically thwey are just improved iterations of the original nvidia utility, Rivatuner..

[lloyd_joy]

ah i see... ang pag pili ra man sa mem type akoang gi diretso sa bios. check ko balik unya gabi-i...

okis. gamit nko kay sa msi afterburner... mo dagan lang ug 2 hrs max then mo crash... try ko panbgita'g balik sa sweet spot sa GPU OC setting para ma puga pa gyud ang performance sa 660 Ti... ok-han ra ko sa performance baya ning inno3D... maldito pa gyud kaayo'g nawong... hehehe... tried my luck to place an order for annother GPU but to no avail... 4 stores na ang gi ask nmo dri... tsk tsk tsk... ang naa nila kay ang katong 3GB na 3 fans... dako man to gud, dili masulod... syaro wla'y makit-an ani ugma...

@ bro keropi,

had managed to OC the rams to 1600 timing... 8-8-8-8-24 pero, remain ang bclk to 100 kay kun i set nko to 105, mo saka ang ram... unstable ang rig... then na OC pud nko ang GPU... slight OC lang kay factory OC naman lagi to... add lang ko'g 12 MHz sa core then 22 MHz sa clock frequency... wala lang ko naka kuha'g screen shots para ma share dah... tsk tsk tsk... na bz man ug tweak... hehehe... which is better, to OC the CPU or to OC the memory?... to have a faster system...

padagan ko'g Prime95 ug over night para ma check if stable ba ang system... so far, stable sya... pass tanan values tested. mura'g settle lang sa ko sa current OC setting... kay i may be asking too much for an SB i3... "poor man's OC rig" man gud ni sya... hhhaaayyy... how i wish i got a "K" CPU na... pero, bantay lang gyud ni sya... akoa ning spank-kon... puhon...

regarding sa OC sa aning Inno3D GTX 660 Ti iChill, initial values looks good pero, need pa ko mag kuha ug test points... 30 data points lang (minimum sa statistics to have a good bird's eye view) akoang kuhaon para ani para akoang ma share dri napud...

[keropi]

Better to OC the CPU bro. Pero mas maayo syempre kung sila duha..

Murag taas na man kaayo ng 105fsb. Not advisable man gyud to OC bclk. Try lang kuno 103mhz bro basin mas stable to. At least, naa nay +100mhz OC.

[lloyd_joy]

ah i see... sunod ra ko sa ani na site bro ai... Intel Core i3 2120 Review » Page 3 - Testing:Setup & Overclocking - Overclockers Club

so far, ok ra sya sa Prime95... stress test for 6+ hrs lang... akoa unya tong i-stress test ang unit ug 24 hrs puhon...

akoa pud i-try ang kanang 103 pud then OC sad sa mem...

thanks bro

[lloyd_joy]

here are the snap shots sa OC... the gaming rig is running Prime95 now (stress testing) for more than 2 hrs already... no issues were seen as of this writing...


for the CPU... raised the BCLK to 105.1... boosted the CPU core speed to 3.4+ GHZ


for the memory... changed the timing to 8-8-8-24... frequency was raised automatically to 1400 MHz due to the increase on the BCLK.



for the GPU... increased the GPU clock to 1038 MHz (from the 1020 MHz factory OC) and increased the mem freq to 6256 MHz (from the 6212 MHz factory OC). the bandwidth was bumped from 149.1 GB/s (factory OC default) to 150.1 GB/s. Over clocking this babe (Inno3D GTX 660 Ti iChiLL is very tricky in order to get a stable OC setting since the factory OC was high already. But performance wise, as seen on the benchmark (including some sites), an OC GTX 660 Ti can perform near the same level as a stock GTX 670 but on a much lower price point.

just an update...

at last, the shop has 3 stocks... placed my order a while ago... hope it will arrive tomorrow... excited ko para maka gamit na ug maka share ninyo dri sa bench mark...

next upgrade will be the "K" CPU... pero, kun ok gani ang performance sa i3-2120 on the SLI configuration... basin huwaton lang nako until na kuha-on na sa akoang amigo ang i3...
