Overclocking 6600GT

But how will i know when to stop? :/

It will stop working

 

[haGGard]

Hmm, im not gonna risk it then

The key is small steps. Increments of 5 or 10 mhz at a time and keep the memory ratio about the same. Is your card AGP?

No i mean your PC will freeze, or reboot.

Yeah my card is AGP

No i mean your PC will freeze, or reboot.

So it wont physically break the card? :amazed:

No, the only way it would "break" is if it overheated to the point of melting causing serious damage. You can do it, it's easy especially with powerstrip, just small increments.

i am wondering the same thing but my memory clock is at 1000MHz btw?... i have an eVGA 6600gt pci-e if that matters?

PCI-E 6600GT's are 1000
AGP 8X 6600GT's are 900

could be easily overclocked though...

 

[pc_boy]

...and no, just increase the speed in small increments, and then start playing a game or something, and boost up the resolution and stuff, if it is too much, your computer will be unstable...
no prob... just quit the game, change it back a little, and restart...
there you go!!

Most AGP are 1000 though
