8800GTX overclocking problem

Anti

Hey,

using a 125cfm fan attacked to my 8800gtx i have managed to get the core to 700mhz and the ram to 1100mhz. All good and well you say, but the problem is with ntune 1100mhz is the max the memory will do. Its 100% rock stable at these speeds and has upped my 3dmark score from 10800 to 1200+. Now i know you are going to say use ati tool or riva tuner, but the problem is they are not stable and crash vista for me, even at lower speeds. Does anyone know a way to be able to get higher speeds on the memory?

Anti

One of ye must know how to get around this.

I could find no stable OC tool bar ntune for OC'ing my GTX with the Vista OS. I had the mem maxed out at 1100 rock solid too.

Anti

yeah,but i want to go above 1100 on the ram though. Is there a way?

Inquitus

I wanted to aswell, and what I am saying is I couldn't find a way.

Is it possible to flash the 8800GTX bios with a higher default clock? I know this was possible with my old 6800Ultra.

Also you got pictures on how you mounted that fan? Where is it blowing? Have you taken the cover off the stock heatsink?

Anti

Well, im using a cardboard box as a case atm. So i just cut a whole in it, and duct taped the fan to the box to blow air onto the fan.

If only i could get riva tuner working on vista

awhir

you can uninstall rivatuner then restart ur pc when before windows loads press F8 and then scroll down to disalbe drive auth.then load into windwos and install riva,ati tool and core temp.
