I currently have a Gainward Ti 4600 in my main rig, and recently started oc'ing the core. It's now at 323/735 AGP voltage at 1.6v. I plan to run it like this 24/7, and load these frequencies upon each boot of Windows. The card is on stock cooling, and my case is a Lian-Li PC-65 w/ blowhole.
How safe is it running the card like this 24/7, and is there more safe headroom left? I noticed when I take the card to 326 and 327 core, it starts to stall in games and then become smooth after a few seconds, sounds like thermal throttling to me. I felt the heatsink, and it felt warm, but not HOT.
I haven't tried moving to 1.7v, because I don't know how safe it is. But I know this card can go higher. So what would you guys do, oc more, keep it this way, or oc less
