What do you mean ideas?

If you want to overclock it a lot then your gonna need a new cooler.

For overclocking it use something like nVidia Coolbits or PowerStrip.

Post back with questions etc.

Gd luck

Yeah i'm usin coolbits or Rivatuner

core is at 500 and memory is at 600, cant it go more high? at 605 alot of lines and stuff come on the screen

Reply to soulkilla

Those lines are called artifacts and it means you are pushing the card to far. You should back off untill they dissapear. They arnt healthy.

Are you just using the stock cooler? Does it even cover the memory modules?

Artifacts at a low overclock are usualy caused by heat. I would advise purchasing an after market cooler like the zalman VF700Cu for around £25 if u got the cash.

That should make it a darn site better. For a cheap alternative if the memory isnt covered use thermal compound to stick little pieces of sheet metal onto the memory to act as a heat spreader and also atatch a 80mm fan onto the card to give it a lot lot more air flow. I did this with a really really shit radeon 7000 and made the speed increase from 140/140 (crap) to 230/210 (still shit lol but a lot better). Used custom heat spreaders and an AMD 64 stock cpu cooler fan.

Hope doin this helps u out m8 :)

This Vidcard has Silent Pipe Cooling on it when u buy it, any fan u know about that would do good on it?

It doesn't even have a fan on it put a fan on it and cool the card down. Then overclock.
