Bonobo says Hi,

Bonobo plays a lot of Battlefield 1942 and wants to overclock his ASUS
V9520 TP GPU (and MoBo????).

My FX5200 came with only a heatsink and when I played BF1942 the
temperature got from 35C to OVER 70!! thats why I dicided to make a copper
waterplate for this GPU and add it to the selfmade cpu watercooling
circuit.
Now I can play BF1942 for hours and the GPU temperature only rises about
1C above case temp /cpu aprox 4C.

So I'm ready to start with overclocking.

How to start?? Mobo first and then GPU or what?? Need special sw I think.

my system:

MSI K7T raid with 1800+ and 2x256Mb
ASUS V9520 TP Graphics card

First, are you going to stay with Socket a, or go to Socket 754, 939 or 940?
If Socket a, get a Asus A7N8X, almost don't matter which one you get, they
are all
supposed to be good.
Nvidia cards have a neat feature, you can turn up the bus speed on the ram &
gpu.
That is, if the software wants to work right.
I'm not sure on the newer ATI cards, they may or may not let you do this.
Hope this helps.

Denny. ;-)
