The Official OC (OverClocking) Thread!

Niobis,

I'm sure you will find what you need here.

And here's the driver download page for the 60 series nvidia mobile gpu's.

You just confused me there.

They talking about modded INF's, why would I need that? And on the last link you gave the latest versions I could find was 62.20 or 62.27. I've got 78.10. Like I said, I'll just have to wait it out.

Is there something I'm missing on those pages? Was there any info for OC'ing or was it just for drivers? Think drivers are the problem?

lol, sorry for asking 4 questions in a row like that, I'm just confused about all that.

 

Niobis,
From what I saw you need the modified drivers to enable o/c on laptop pc's.

 

My new sig is my first attempt at Adobe image ready,it's a bit boring I know but I'm gonna work on it and maybe change it all together.

sam, just an idea:
write down the o/c settings ASUS AI gives you and try setting the bios manually.If its the same result start slowing things down till you get stability.Maybe your chips not a good o/clocker.

 

crowy, thought you was off so I didn't post back. I will get back to you on those modded drivers either later tonight(EST) or tomorrow. I'm having alot of trouble out of my internet right now and I'm lucky to post anything. So, downloading anything is out of the question until I get this sh*t fixed. Thanks alot for the help, I'm sure I'll need more.

 

Niobis,
Your welcome buddy,hope you get it sorted out.

 

Well my conclusion is that I'd be better off doing it myself since the auto AI overclock meant a Hypertransport speed was 1100mhz, which I thought was a bad idea. The only real hardware block I have is that my chipset fan is either not plugged in or not working. Since I didn't build this system I can't be sure, but I'm not about to go open the case to sort it out.

 

Ok, I got something going here. Probably not for long though.

Just noticed something about the drivers page you gave. You said it was for the 60 series. Is that the same as ForceWare version 60? 'Cause this card came with 78.10 and I don't want to go backwards. I probably should have given my card specs before so, here's everything I know about it:

Processor: GeForce Go 6600
Video BIOS version: 5.43.01.64.06
IRQ: 16
Bus: PCI Express x16
Memory: 256 MB
ForceWare version: 78.10
TV Encoder Type: nVidia intergrated

I'm using crappy dialup so I don't want to download a 10 MB file and it not be the correct one. Could you give some info on what "series [bold]60[/bold]" means.

 

1100mhz?? thats 2200 both ways,there's your bsod.....ROFL!!!

 

Niobis,the 60 series is 6200 6250 6400 6600 etc.

 

O...K, I'll download 62.27 'cause it's the latest version that has both INF and NFO, but if it doesn't work I'm coming after [bold]you[/bold]!

 

Niobis,.......LOL!!!
No guarantees,but it's worth a shot.

 

Yeah, I'll try anything at this point! It's going to take a while, still having problems so, I'll let you know later. Thanks mate!

 

Yeah Ai leaves the HT set to 5x, so when you OC the CPU, that goes up too. Surely that's a bad thing?

 

sam drop it to 4x

 

Yeah, my hope is that I can drop it to 4x and squeeze maybe up to 20% out of it. of course the limit of 25 would be great, but I'm not going to push it without adequate chipset cooling, the highest I've seen it stock is 47C, but that's still quite warm. Trouble is, unlike CPUs I'm not sure exactly how far is a safe limit, because of course 47 for a CPU is quite cool, and for a graphics card is stone cold, but for a chipset it sounds quite a lot.

 

I've set HT to 4x in the BIOS now, and the system booted (although with a strange graphical corruption and pause when I first booted, but it resolved itself after a couple of seconds). The odd thing is that in the BIOS there's no mention of the Multiplier or Front side bus settings, only grey text saying I have an X2 4200+ running at 2200mhz. I could set every setting of my RAM in the BIOS, and it says 400mhz at present. Should I change that? I was under the impression that differed from the 200mhzx2 bus speed.

 

OK, I found the options I wanted in the "jumperless settings" page, but I notice "command rate" in the memory section. It's at 2T for the moment, but I hear 1T is better for overclocking. Will that make things more stable, and what sort of performance loss could result from it?

 

1T and 2T ability depend on how good the quality of your RAM is really, cheap stuff wont do 1T, but expensive stuff will.

Corsair Value Select, so it sits somewhere in the middle.
