    Hi

    Whats the safe working temp of the video card in the 6625WD?

    If I use rivatuner to OC the card what can I go too?

    I was running Crysis and after playing for 10 minutes overclocked I turned it off and ran the real time mointor within rivatuner it was reading 85.

    Left alone on the desktop it dropped back to 65.

    Whats safe?

    Also were do you get the benchmark software for testing video please?

    3Dmark06 is what I need.

    Is this shareware?

    I found a basic version, is this what is required?

    Thanks

    I have never overclocked so i dont know whats safe or not, overclocking ruins your warranty by the way.

    yes 3dmark06 is what you need to stress test and benchmark, it is also good to run after overclocking to see if your system is stable.

    basic version is the one to get, its free

    Overclocking in it self on the card isnt dangerous, and warranty void is quite hard to notice. But dont burn the card, I dont know for shure, but I would say that 100C is the absolute max temperature for beeing on the safe side.

    So can you play crysis ok on your zeptop ?

    I notice you have the same spec part from the CPU. Mine plays loads better with a little OC from rivatuner

    Get newer drivers, the 169.01 or something like that should be able to overclock. The 163.44 cannot be overclocked.
