    Overclocking GeForce 8600 GS

    i got this in my Acer M3640.( NOT A LAPTOP)

    but i wonder how far i could OC it.
    ( i use RivaTuner)

    this is my card, the standard running temp is 59 Celsius.


    with a game running( the legend of ares). it goes to 72.

    now here are my questions:
    what can be the max temperature of gpu?
    how far can i OC it max?

    The max Temperature you got was 72 Degrees . Usualy you get 68 - 72 Degrees. and even if you dont put an extra fan on it and your card is not overclocked . so without the fan it might get up to 85 Degrees. I would say the max is probably 100 Degrees Centigrade.

    Re: Overclocking GeForce 8600 GS

    The main difference between GeForce 8 and GeForce 7 families is the adoption of DirectX 10 on GeForce 8 family. What this means is that they will support the next generation of games to be released starting this year. It also means that instead of using separated shader units for each kind of shader processing (pixel, vertex, physics and geometry) video cards from this family use a unified shader architecture, where the shader engines can process any one of these tasks.

    So far AMD has announced their ATI Radeon HD 2000 family – which also supports DirectX 10 and uses unified shader architecture –, however mid-range products will be only available in late June, i.e. one month from now. This leaves mid-range cards from GeForce 8 family like GeForce 8600 GT without real direct competitors.

    The standard GeForce 8600 GT runs at 540 MHz and accesses its 256 MB GDDR3 memory at 1.4 GHz (700 MHz transferring two data per clock cycle) thru a 128-bit interface, so it can access its memory at a maximum transfer rate of 22.4 GB/s.

    Everything above 90 is not healthy. If you overclock and play games, make sure you check the temps. You never know when it might jump to 100 centigrade.
