Hello tell me if these are acceptable overclocking temps!!!!

Hi,

I have inno3d geforce 6600 (non-gt) 128 mb. Its core n mem clocks are 300 n 500 respectively. I,ve overclocked it to 385 core n 615 mem and at load my temperature reaches 85-87 C and idle temp is 60-62 C. I m using the stock fan n i also like to mention that i used the Ati Tool to scan for artifacts and this is the max speeds at which it ran without giving artifacts. also i ran 3d mard 05 n before OC the score was 1898 n after OC the score was 2377.

Now, i want to know if this is significant increase in scores or not. the second thing i want to know is if the temp is acceptable, i ve heard that gpus can take n sustain more heat then cpus, so is that true.

Thanks

Even for a gpu. Those temps are a little on the high side.

However, provided your system is running stable, just invest is some more cooling for your card. Something along these lines, should reduce those temps.

The extra points are quite significant.

However, like howard said, better cooling is in order. It'll be worth it.
