Hi guys, I'm newbie-approved at OCing. I just built my first computer and so far so good. Athlon Mobile 2600+ IQYHA 0402 @ 2.48GHz Prime stable (7 hours - need to test it longer - should go further easily) w/215fsb @ 2-2-2-11 (Mushkin Level2) 2x256 mb on an NF7-S. Phwew...
Anyways, I've had an old Leadtek A250 Geforce4 ti4400 for a while (the one with the huge wrap-around heatsink and 2 fans built in)... got it used from my girlfriend who bought it offa ebay and couldn't use it. Now I finally got to test it out... and it works very, very well. Heck, I'm running Far Cry @ 10x7 high-med settings at 40+fps average (much faster during indoor portions). So this "classic" card r0xx0rz my b0xx0rz quite well and dandy. So, naturally, I want it to rock even more!
Now like I said, it was used... came card only... no software. In a review of the card, it was mentioned that retail version comes with OCing software - and that this card OC's very, very nicely - usually going beyond stock ti4600 speeds. That's appealing, eh? So I'm here asking you fine OCing fellows and fellowettes how one mudsts goest about doing so. How exactly can I OC this mug? And is there a way I can get software to help me out?
I really appreciate your help and replies. Thanks guys! (btw, I searched these forums and found all kinds of stuff, but it all went right over me - just looking for some honest and straight advice) :)
