Parhelia o'cing testing

[UtwigMU]

Since I can return the card on Friday, I'd like to perform some stress o'c tests to see how it does.

So you just turn the button in MTSTU for whatever percentage, apply and test 3D Mark?

Pstrip doesn't detect it and I'd like not to edit pins at this stage.

Yes just turn that dial

But remember it is (IIRC) giving you the percentage increase, not the MHz increase, and most people only manage to get to about 230MHz tops. Many even less than that. So that's not much of a % increase at all from retail speeds. I see yours is a Bulk though, so try taking it up 10% to Retail speeds.

And remeber-
It's cumulative.
If you crank it up 10% and it works, then want to try another 5%, dont put in 15%, that'll make it go 15% on top of the 10% already there...

[GNEP]

Oh yeah - forgot that too

[UtwigMU]

BTW, how do you make sure it's back to stock after that? (Clearing the cumulative overclocks.)

[Kruzin]

When you choose to make it a "permanent" o/c, an .exe is written to the windows root folder.
"permaclock.exe"
delete this .exe and reboot, and you will be back to the cards original clockings.

I think you'll like the OC implimentation better in Powerstrip....

About an hour of Reefdemo in TH @ 15% overclock.

I'm keeping the card.
