just wondering what speeds your g-force 3s are running stable ????
my elsa 920 been running @ 225/520 for 2 weeks now with no lockups but would like to know how far it'll go
i read somewere the 3.8ns memory is suppost to be good for 550 is this true!!!
by the way using std heatsink/fan with slot/pci cooler to help cool it

you will be able to push the ram a bit more... 550 is a bit high with standard cooling... but you should be able to push it past 520...

you do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong

Mine elsa is running at 230/530, any higher I get artifacts when the pcs been running for a while. (makes the room hot)....I need to buy an ac unit heh. it will run at 240/540 but any higher and artifacts are permanent....but Ill be damned if I use a hammer to crack the ram sinks off a 370$ videocard.

I have an OEM MSI card that I bought from fry's for 99$ It's a gf3 ti200, which I took off the heatsink and added a crystal orb and memory heatsinks (also from thermaltake). I have oc'd it to stock ti500 speeds and it's been running nonstop (with heavy use) for about a week. I am very impressed!
