hi all

had a problem with the temps on this gpu, some of you may know in my other thread but i think it needed curing time for TIM anyways need some advise on checking my oc on the gts 250 not sure if there wright and that if im using the wright software.

first time overclocking just testing.

oc

Core clock 770
Memory clock 1400

ok this is how im doing it but im a bit concerned im might being doing it wrong

i first raised my core to 800 and i sued Kombutor where it detected artifacts so i lowered it till there was no artifacts at 7770 mhz.

i than started on the memory step by step until i ve go to 1400 which seems high compared to other peoples in the forum and their no artifacts in kombutor at all, im i doing this wright.

should i keep upping the memory until i get artifact or a crash in kombustor or im using the wrong software t o test the memory.

don't wanna keep going if its wrong so i stopped and thought i would ask.
