    gotta love that, dont know why I looked at it after 3+ years of use, lol.

    my 2D was set at 169MHz core (shaders x2) and 100MHz memory by default, and I put it at 100/100. What this did was lower my GPU from 48 deg C normal temp to ~ 45 deg C.

    I hope it wont mess up any video display though (like youtube), otherwise I'm happy. Internet browsing has the same feel.

    - what are your temps when surfing the net ?

    I've got the same NVS 140 and when I've tried 100/100 clocks my system crashed :(
    With fan on minimum level my GPU is between 51-54 C

    ^ it should be fine working slower than before. I use RivaTuner to change GPU/memory clocks

    my fan is also on the slowest speed, i.e. ~2,600 RPM.

    No Windows here, I've used nvclock under Linux.

    hehe, nice.

    - I think decreasing 2D clocks is a good idea most of the time though ...

    P.S.
    I can set the fan at full speed and go outside the building to use internet over wireless, I'm sure that will do it as it's kinda chilly right now, LOL.
