hmmm I dont have a drop down menu... I do have a check box that says enable driver level hardware overclocking

 

[thirdshiftdj]

oh yea, duh! make sure the link clocks is unchecked

 

[Kozar927]

>.< lol ok that requires a reboot so Ill brb

then I need to know what sliders to move etc. and the other stuff like were do I check temp and whats a safe temp.

 

[thirdshiftdj]

Nvidia monitor will tell you temps. Move the core clock slider and memory slider

 

[Kozar927]

ok so play games and check temps.... what about stability whats that mean?

also whats safe temps?

Now I added tons of fans inside this PC because I forsaw over clocking. If I wanna crank thoes sliders all the way is it all about keeping the cards cool?

if so how can I crank up my other fans.

 

[thirdshiftdj]

that its stable. If you see any glitches within the game its most likely because its not stable. I doubt a 50mhz jump in core clock and memory clock will do that to you but just keep an eye out anyways. Then start increasing in 5-10mhz increments.

I don't know safe temps specifically for your card but generally speaking anywhere around 60-80c

cool thanks for everything. How do I change the speed of other fans in my case?

If they're just plugged into the power supply, then you can't.

Stability is if it's not crashing or making Blue screens after extended usage.

You don't want your temps above 100C at load, ever. That's where you start damaging the card. I would never want a card over maybe 75C at load though.

The motherboard controls the speed of any fans that are plugged into it. As ethan said any that are not plugged into the motherboard or manual fan speed controller cannot be controlled.
