Load up yourself a copy of 3dmark2001 and max the settings out and put it at a resoultion you usually play games at. Most common is 1024x768. Also run this a couple of your favorite games that are 3d intense i.e. Max payne, aquanox, RTCW, etc. Then down load a tweak prog like nvmax, powerstrip, or geforce tweak and try different memory and core speeds then repeat the tests above, till you get to were you want it. Also keep and eye temps nobody wants fried chip.

[Gravity Man]

Yeah, the core HSF on the Visiontek blows big time. I should clarify that also have stock cooling with a big a** 120mm fan blowing over my PCI/AGP slots. :)

Yeah, once I get some money, I'm going to add a second loop to my watercooling setup. One for my CPU with a new pump and radiator, and one for my vid card with my current crappy pump and radiator.

u gonna have to rads?
thats gonna be alot of tubing too :eek:

[Big_KiD]

bet that's real easy to take to lan parties.. or anywhere for that matter.. That's one reason why i have never understood H20 cooling.. Sure it works exceptionally well but it's just so inconvenient

[wildone]

Not really ,.you can fit your watercooling rig all in your case and take it anywhere you want,I am gonna go water in a couple of months myself.

Yes, 2 radiators, 2 pumps, 2 reservoirs.
And yes, that's a lot of tubing :).

All that for what? Ten additional FPS in Q3? Not worth it.

For the hell of it. That, and because I'm already planning on replacing my crappy radiator and pump for my CPU watercooling setup, and I might as well do something with them.

[Big_KiD]

well all the input is great. but i can't say that i am ready to water cool it and i am definetly not ready to cut into my case I think cooling is not the issue here my machine seems to run cool enoug.. i know that i saw a link to some program used to overclock geforce based cards can anyone help?

[CeltyMcBagpipes]

try www.nvmax.com or just go to yahoo and type geforce tweaker/s etc and they should come up, I like geforce tweaker and nvmax the best
