Hello. I have been playing around with my gf3 ti500 more lately... and i came to the conclusion that i get a more stable overclock out of cooling the graphics card's ram than i do cooling the GPU.
when i run my card 240/515@260/600, my GPU does get quite hot and i do have a waterblock on it, but i get alot of artifacts and pixels in random places when playing games. when i put a fan right by the memory, the artfiacts go away... and i am able to raise the memory speed to around 615mhz without artifacts or crashes. i am sure you all agree that the real noticable overclocks come out of the memory speed rather than the core speed.
anyways... does anyone know where i can get a waterblock for the ram? i really think that it will help alot.
thanks,
nico3k
