Hey everyone,
I have some temp questions about overclocking my ECS 9600GT with an Accelero S2 passive heatsink.
Well here is what i did. At stock speeds it was idling at 46C... Don't remember what is was under load. Well I thought that was a little too high so I looked around on google to see if there was a fan cooling kit for my passive Heatsink. Well I stumbled upon a mod some guy did where he hooked up an 80MM fan by ziptieing it directly to the heatsink.
Well I thought it was a good idea so i went to my local radio shack and bought all the necessary things to do it myself. Well it really did work. Right now I have my card overlocked to 750/1980/930. (Core/Shader/Mem) Well right now it idles at 38C and for some reason underload it says it also has the same temp. I run GRID at max settings for about half an hour to get the underload temps.
First of all is this a good overclock??? The stock speeds were 650/1800/900
Also should I try a more demanding game to see if I can get a better Underload Temp???
Also I thought people should know I could push it further. I had it set at 775/2000/1000 at one time. The only thing that would happen is that I would get a driver crash error. I wouldn't get any errors in games. It would just freeze the game for a second and then come back. When i would exit it would tell me that I had a driver crash error. It seems like I found my sweet spot though because after I back everything down to where I have it now i don't get that error anymore. BTW I'm using RivaTuner for OCing. Thanks.
