    Guys,I have a problem-I try to OC my HDX-@ stock clocks I get ~4000 3dmark points,and ~4600 @ 550/1200/550-everything works fine,but once I pass those numbers,it crashes my system,and I have to restart-any suggestions?what should I do to OC more?Thanks :)


    P.S. I run Vista 64bit-and use rivatuner 2.11 for OC.

    tried both 178.28 and 180.43-same thing :confused: and I know that it is possible to safely OC to 650/1600/650 on hdx 16t...

    I haven't had any problems with the one I posted using drivers 175.97 through 180.43 with/without Physx. The earlier system tools would BSOD on me.

    I have an HDX 9000 w/8800M GTS.

    ok so it seems HP didnt put DDR3 in the HDX series, so we all HDX16 HDX18 DV5T and DV7T users are sailing in the same boat :p
