Overclocking with Zotac Firestorm

[Brian_970]

Hello,
I have a Zotac GT520 and the Zotac FireStorm software for overclocking:How do you pick the settings for overclocking? Engine Clock, Memory Clock, Shader Clock?What do you adjust them to, the help on the software is minimal> Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Use EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner.
You should go slowly, running a stress test like FurMark after each step up. Go maybe 30mhz at first, then up 10mhz at a time. Run the stress test for 10-15 minutes after each new setting. If you get ANY ARTIFACTS AT ALL, even one, step back down. Once you think you've hit a good, stable overclock, run the test for half an hour to make sure you're stable. The shader clock should always be twice the core clock.
Once you've finished your core overclocking, step up the memory in the same manner.
