Nvidia GT 330m Overclockers

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.

Did you run stability tests to check the OC? How did you settle on the figures in your post? Seeing any anomolies or has the machine hung up at all?

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 have the F series.

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 paranoid This 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.

 

Yeah, that's how I'm approaching it. I still need to monitor during some multi-hour gaming sessions, but as long as the temps hover in the low 70's I think I'll be ok.

 

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?
