adding some VDimm?

[SooTyLaD]

i thought i'd add +0.2 to the vdimm in my bios to see if it would clock anymore... but rivatuner still fails the "internal test" at the same points...

so 2 q's:

• is it ok to raise VDimm this much and avoid any damage (not sure on the tolerances of graphics cards)

• is the rivatuner boundary a software "recommended" limit or a hardware one that should not be overstepped?

its an OC2 8800 GTS as in sig but i've got it up to 610/900... this any good?

Ummn, use memtest and orthos instead!?

Small point - Vdimm in BIOS increases your RAM memory, NOT your graphics memory voltage, you usually need specific software, or hardware modifications like pencil mod to affect GDDR voltages.

well done

i'm sorry, just read that back and i was indeed talking some real sloblocks...

its the PCI-E voltage that i incresed in the bios... and the "internal fail" is in rivatuner at the piont when you put the speeds up... its not a stress test just the slider to increase speed...

Yopu are increasing the voltage to the actual PCI-E bus, so it wont affect the clocking of your gfx card. Will probabl le you increase the PCI-E freq, but that isnt generally the done thing

Does absolutely nothing.

All it does is stress the power relays on the card abit more.

Put it back to stock and leave it, if games run fine and its stable then don't worry about it.
