leadtek 5900xt o'clocking?

[windog]

Just put this card in my rig, and after a few false starts (works better if you remember to plug the molex in!) got it working fine. I have it running at 400/750 at the mo, I just wondered if anybody could give me an idea of what I might expect from this card?

Also when o'clocking gfx cards, what sort of temps to worry about?

Mines been overclocked to 450/800 for about 4 months with no issues

Thanks... What sort of temps are you getting, and is that with stock cooling?

Yes just standard cooling. Just checked in the Nvidia drivers and right now it is idling at 39'C and after an hour or so of half-life 2 it sees 69'C. I've never been one to worry about temps to be honest as long as it works I don't care how hot it gets

Thanks. maybe I'll wind it up a bit more!

Just pump it up until you start to see some display corruption (or crash!) and then backoff a couple of Mhz until it's stable
