Going to do some more OC'ing this weekend to try an push it to the max safe settings. What would be stable but relatively safe voltage settings to use for the NB, Core, and memory? Also, any advice on OC'ing my 7600GT as far as what program to use and how to go about it? I will also run Orthos for a few hours once I get some solid OC'ing performance going.

Thanks!

ATITool works great for OCing my 7600GT.
Not sure on safe voltages mine are REAL low.

[marin8n]

Is ATItool for ATI cards or does the ATI stand for something else? Anyone used NTune?

[gtboi604]

ntune sucks...
just get coolbits and use the regular control panel to OC...
thats what i use.

thx m8, i just got my stuff last night took me about an hour to figure some stuff out but i got it but everything went well

i am putting vista x64 on it now (RC1 cuz thay have not sent me the real thing yet........gggrrrrrrr )

i will prob. start overclocking it tomorrow cuz im too tired to think at the moment (been up for 12 hours waitin on UPS and 16 hour playin with the MoBo and playin america's army )

u know i put Artic Silver 5 on every HS and put a passive HS on south bridge and added a fan to the north bridge and everything is very cool to touch(till i overclock i would imagine)


thx again for all the thoughts and info on this board. i know even b4 i got it, that i bought the right board 4 me!!!!!!!


thx
steve

Very cool!
Yeah the chipset isn't HOT HOT until you OC it.
Can you tell me which fan you added to the NB and what SB HS you added?

NTune DOES suck. ATI Tool is not just for ATI cards, it supports almost EVERY ATI and NVIDIA card. I love it. Never used coolbits but I have heard both ATITool and Coolbits are just as good.

i put this HS off this MoBo's NB and put it on my SB(slightly modified the HS, took alittle corner off) and used zip strips to rig it up. lol

i just found a 40mm fan and slapped it on the NB, i think it was from a PII or III cpu

i plan on getting a new HS and fan for both NB and SB when i get my vid card

HAH.
I just can't bring myself to ziptie something to my new board lol.
Active HS

I plan on putting this on my NB, I think Zabaco was the one that said that too.

Are the SB holes the same distance and what not? I might try and put this fan on both chips...

[dpawl31]

Just checked your profile.

*lol* Gateway 17" CRT *lol*

Gotcha Beat. NANAO FlexScan 15". Has seperate RGB inputs on back as well. LOL. Was bought in early 90's for something rediculous like $1300.
PIECE OF CRAP!

Upgraded to THIS

Shweeeet.
