max temp for a 6800le

[sare^baw's]

i am experimenting and overclocking my 6800le, at the moment i have the voltage at 1.5v and the gpu settings at 450/886. when under load i am not getting any artifacts but my temperature is rising to 79 degrees, is this too high, its about 56 when idle.

no that should be fine mate - nice clocks for that card mate - wow

Right my gfx card is the same temp and Ive seen others at that temp also so its normal

cheers m8, though my marks for 3dmark06 are not so good i got 1380, the comparison results show my score is not so good compared to other people with the same card.

06 depends on the cpu a lot, try 05

A friend of mine has my 6800le and i've got it running at 1.4v and currently 375, although it will do at least 400. I wonder if I up the volts to 1.5v would I also be able to get to 450. Would defo be a challenge, not sure he'd let me borrow it back as it's in his main PC and allows him to play COD4 lol.

ok i have tried 05 and my results are better, i have scored 3661, i am 13th position compared to similar speced pcs, the best is 5192, 2nd is 4799, 3rd is 4761.

so how do you get a higher score, these guys had similar machines and similar clocks, my cpu is running at 50% max and my memory is 37%, is there anything to achieve by overclocking the cpu?

i assume its safe to up the voltage if the temps are ok ? as mine is reaching a max of 79 and thats apparently ok then, no harm giving it a shot, are you itching to try it?
