Overclocking GeForce SDR, NEED HELP!!!!

[danny889]

how high can I clock my Leadtek Winfast Geforce Standard???
it's using stock h/s/f
I don't want to modify it in any way so how high should I go and is it worth it??

There is this amazing place called the Video Cards section!

[danny889]

yeah well this is called OVERCLOCKING the video card, and I do beleive this is the OVERCLOCKING section

Didn't want to start a fight - I was just saying (in my own way) how no-one usually talks speciificlly about video cards here.

Anyway, lets leave all this sarcasm behind before it gets out if hand.

If it has a fan on the HS, put a bigger one on, if it doesn't, add one, and apply RAM sinks to the memory.

Hi danny889:

Totally agree with cheeseman.

Pop off that puny little fan and HS, take some very fine Sand paper and lap through the Thermal goop, NVidia Gforce label (round) and stop when the color just starts to turn coppery. Put on a real HS and at least a 21CFM fan, move all PCI cards as far away from the VidCard as you can, load the latest drivers which can be found here:

Detonator,

Then go and get PowerStrip, here:

PowerStrip2.65

I know you said you didn't want to modify it, and you've got the best of the litter for OCing SDR GeForce cards, but you'll get so much more out of the little beast with these simple tricks.

HS on the memory modules also helps considerably.

Hey USS, sorry man, jsut had a bad day that's all
do you become a memeber if you get 30 posts??
I'm sick of being a junior member
the reason I don't wanna modify it is coz well simply, I can't. the parts are simply too hard to get here.

P.S how exatlly do I stick a new heatsink and fan on I mean how do I get it to stay??

[saltedeggman]

cheese, applying ram-sink will not imporve overclocking capability.

I saw a review at www.overclockers.com (i think)

ok, so what if I get my P!!! 600E hsf?? will that do??
say I am actually crazy engough to do this
(I'm only 15 and to me, this stuf ain't cheap)
how do I get the hsf to actually stick to the geforce??

[Siamese]

Danny boy all u do is crazy glue it on. Put 4 dabs on the 4 corners of the Geforce and make sure that u use Thermal Grease in the middle whereever there isnt any crazy glue to help facilitate the heat transfer!!

Where do u live? Do u have any RadioShacks?
Go there and look for Thermal Grease.

[danny889]

hey
I live in Melbourne Aussie
not too rich at the moment, I dunno about the radio shacks, gotta find out.
(damn I wish people would start opening these kind of store in AUSTRALIA)
I was curious, what exactally would vaseline do?
