man was i scared yesterday.
Yesterday, after watching some tutorial videos on youtube. I decided to give overclocking a try. I downloaded rivatuner, made some changes then decided to play rainbow six vegas all maxed out to see core temperature, performance etc.
Then my computer froze then crashed. Eesh, was I scared. Turned my computer back on, and thankfully everything was okay.
I have couple questions on overclocking my gfx card
-do I need a good heat sink for my processor if I want to overclock my gfx card? Because I am just using my stock heat sink right now that came with my intel duo.
- Is there a program that will purposely put extra work on my gfx card while showing my performance? I want to keep a close eye on the gfx card's temperature while testing. I don't want any heat damage on my card
- Any tips on overclocking that you can give me?
