What's the safe temperature to overclock my geforce 6600

Hi, I'm new to the forum,

I 've got a geforce go 6600 in my toshiba m40 laptop, I've overclocked it to 330/660 and getting a temperature 63C, and over 80C when playing games. Is this temp too high, or is it normal, also whats the highest stable clock speed I can go up to. I want to maximize my graphics card.

thanks for help

 

WHOA, that seems pretty high for me. If I remember correctly, the danger zone starts at around 75C ? Don't quote me though. Or was it 95? Anyhow, what game are you playing that you need to OC it?

 

But according to rivatuner, my 6600 goes over 75C without OC... when playing games

FEAR,, I can play it on 800X600 with mid high graphics with HDR at 330/660, I've got 1 gig ram and PM750 1.86Ghz, it actually runs very smooth, but when there are lots of enemies there is a sudden 1 sencond lag =_= it doesn't help lowering the graphics,, is this normal.
I also want it to be a bit smoother when play AOE3 with the highest graphics.

 

if u want AOE3 to run smoother, lower ur texture filtering quality or something like that. it makes barely any graphical difference but greatly increases performance

 

Still it leaves the question of what a safe temp is b/c I am interested in OCing mine as well. Anyone have recomendations?

 

What’s the core threshold set at for your 6600? On my old desktop 6200 it was 145C! On my new 6800 it's 125C! My 6200 ran at 60-70. Then when I overclocked it and playing games it would get up to 85. My new 6800 runs at 45. Then when I'm playing it will get up around 60. 80C doesn't seem too bad. I wouldn't overclock it anymore though

 

ive run up to 80C on my desktop, SLI'd 7800gtx running F.E.A.R. maxed...i dont think you should be running hotter then that..look into a cooling pad if you havent already.

also, take it slow with overclocking..O/C too much too fast, and it leaves a huge window for error. i would recommend going up by 5-10 mhz increments, also overclock each separately.

pb,out.

 

I kinda dont get the whole core/memory thing any chance someone could expalin it?

 

well i overclocked my ati hd2600 to 700core 950mem and it runs at 54on idle and 89 on full load so is this a safe temperature

 

100C is nvidia's garranteed no problem temperature. The card it itself (not talking about the other components) can stand until 120-130 (the cables in a desktop are 127C certified).
