Hey, so I'm brand new into overclocking, everybody's gotta start somewhere right?
this is my system right now:
Antek p182 (5 fans)
Asus p5q
Intel core 2 duo e8500 3.16ghz
4x1 gb of cheap ram (tisk tisk)
gigabyte 1gb gtx 460
corsair 650w PS
Windows 7 64bit
I picked up a gigabyte 1g 460 after reading a bunch of reviews on it's potential. hooked it up, runs fine, and gets 45ish fps in STALKER clear sky (which is a bit low compared to what i was expecting, though I have some aging hardware)
So I decided to try and check out overclocking, read up on the beginners guide here, started little, but as soon as i adjust any of the speeds, even going from 715 to 716, fps drops to 8-15 fps. Not quite what I was looking for... strange though, MSI Kombustor, and heaven get improved results at higher clock speeds, while every game I've tried gets gimped to the same 8-15 fps regardless of game or clock speed.
I'm wondering, Did I do something wrong? all I did was adjust mem and core clocks slightly and it goes to hell. Temp never goes above 70 C, and nothing but the GPU is overclocked... help?
