    id advice you NOT to overclock your CPU, since it will lead to heavy temperature increases. Your GFX card is possible to clock without much difference.

    My 8600m is running 475/400 on core/men as stock, and is running 600/505 at the moment, without any heavy increases in temperature.

    so 615 is a safe # then?

    my default CPU clock is 475

    (i should link them right?)


    so when i clock my cpu is good around 615 and my memory clock should only be the one im experimenting right?

    at 615/475, my temps reach about 62-65 when playing UT3 demo

    Quicky question about undervolting:
    Do you have to use Rivatuner or BIOS OC to undervolt your GPU? I'm currently using nTunes as RivaTuner doesn't work (apparently) with the 169.04 Driver (which is the one best optmized for Crysis...).

    I can only assume so since I don't see any undervolting option in nTunes :(.

    Is anyone else having trouble playing CoD4 with overclocking? For some reason, it tends to crash on me even when I don't OC that much (550/475).
