msi afterburner

Hi there,

I just bought a msi 660ti and was wondering if using msi afterburner to turn up the memory clock will void my warranty or possibly damage my card?

It won't void the warranty as they have no way of knowing if you've overclocked it.

It won't damage the card. Just bump the core up 25mhz each time and run unigine heaven benchmark until it crashes or you get a gpu card error. When you do bump the voltage up a notch or two and run the test again.

Rinse and repeat till you reach a level you're happy with or temperature becomes an issue. Try to stay under 80c.

Do the same for memory, however once your score gets lower instead of higher, or your minimum fps drops lower than normal you know the memory is too high and is self correcting errors.

Got a message back from there support team.

"The warranty will not be voided if you use afterburn as afterburn is an MSI product too"

Glad I went with msi

They wouldn't be able to tell anyway

Yeah, MSi does officially warrant the use of Afterburner, but they wouldn't know anyway. Definitely overclock that memory, the 660Ti is memory bandwidth limited so memory overclocking can bring significant gains (much more so than core overclocking).

Yes I heard some people getting an extra 750 on the memory clock but I would probably try and get around 500.

I can turn the memory by 250 without any voltage increase but any more than that and I get artifacts.

Any idea how much should I turn up the memory voltage?

Just doing some benchmarks and now I have the power limit up the memory clock is up by 450 without changing any voltages.

So not sure whether I should keep going with the memory clock or start working on the core clock?

There's also an msi afterburner app in the android app market now too.

is running 3d mark 11 ok for testing my new clock out?
