I'm hoping to find more folks using this gpu in the CW or F series so we can share experiences. I'm super new to OC'ing - this is the first time I've ever done it.
Right now I'm using Nvidia tools to oc:
650 gpu clock
800 memory
1550 shader
I have seen a max temp of 70c. I would say I'm getting on average a boost of 5-10fps.

hello can give me a link to dl the nvidia tools?

Be sure to run the temp. monitor if you OC the GPU.

I have had the 9600 GT in my desktop OC's for years now and never had a problem. I settled on my figures after a lot of stability testing. Everytime I push the settings up, even a few notches, I get lock up from the GPU. I try to keep my temps under 65c but I have a lot of cooling in my desktop.
Do you have a CW? That device looks it will have no cooling problems at all. The Z is much smaller and has quite a bit less airspace. I saw an S in Bestbuys with an I5/310M (I think) and it was running hot. You could steam your suit on the exhause from the fan.

I've settled on these numbers based on real-world testing; i.e - playing my games how I play them. The highest temp I have seen under load is 70c and I idle in the 40's.
At what point can I stop monitoring my temps? I hate being paranoidThis is the first time I've ever oc'd.

Sorry, you're stuck with it for life.
Sorry, couldn't resist
I just apply common sense with overclocking. If it doesn't break after a decent period of being stressed, it will probably survive just fine without monitoring it all the time.
To rekindle the paranoia: Keep in mind that it's all at your own risk. -

Well I OCed to the stats in the sig. Everything was fine got a nice 3Dmark06 boost but today when I plugged hdmi into my 40" samsung. I got the BSOD and it reset my card to default. Have you tried using a external monitor over hdmi Duggan with your more advanced OC? also I love the cooling on the CW. Even with the Mild OC and after running 3Dmark it peaked at 60C. Lowest was 38C, Idle is around 42-45C.

i dont have a sony, but the sager np5125, i tried to OC my car and my performance decreased. I used Nvidia toold with i believe 258.6 drivers fromt he nvidia 330m. What am i doing wrong? and rivatuner doesnt let me edit it?
Nvidia GT 330m Overclockers
