I had a choice between the Hercules and Leadek Ti500s and decided to go with the leadtek mainly due to that I could get it £30 (from uk) cheaper.

Anyways, I was wandering if anyone has any expierence overclocking this beast. What sort speeds did you get it running at with stock cooling? To me the stock fan on this card looks a little, well... Pathetic. Am I going to have to rip the fan off this and buy something better if want to get some good overclocking results?

Thanks!

There are better GPU heatsinks out there. I suggest you remount the heatsink with some Arctic Silver instead of those pathetic standard thernal grease; to get better performance. I use an old P 75 cooler to cool my GeForce 2 and that is working great.

BTW: why is your username red?

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground :eek: .

Is that also the reason that your name is green and you have the title Bandwith Hog? Or is that a special title?

Good call btw. I had a Herc once with no problems at all..great card. My friend however had to return one...no video card for about 8 weeks. By the time he got it back he could have bought a new one for half the cost.

Is it because you're much online? Or that you post the most messages in a month? Or that you gave him a Quarter Pounder? Or whatever... I wanne know...please?

None of the above. Course, I'll keep denying it even if you guess the correct reason (which you never will).
