Wtf? Is that possible?

This morning, I overclocked my 8800GT(it's not special in any way, just a plain old 8800) on stock cooling to 700/1750/1000. I didn't even do a Vmod.


I was able to run TF2 stable for 2+ hours at this clock, with a peak temperature of 58*C. Not a single artifact in sight. For some reason I didn't think I'd be able to do that on stock cooling, and without doing any vmod. I suppose the 8800GT is a better overclocker than I thought.


I went on to push it to 750 Core and 1050 memory, until it crashed lol. I can't wait until I get aftermarket cooling and do a vmod lol.

nope very possible, mines sitting at 720 core, 1050 mem. (XFX 8800gt)

Stock cooling and no vmod? What tempertures you get?

4

about 58 underload, 50 idle

5

how hot can the 8800gt get before bad stuff starts happening anyways? like 90 degrees? 100 maybe?

6

I believe it is 85 degrees.

90C should be "ok" for a top, 100C is when you might start to worry.
