OC graphics error, freezing, damage to LCD?

[jhyukkang]

hi, i was OCing my gpu, a bit, but i went little more than its max. i was playing a game to test my new clocks, and suddenly, the screen showed, dark, greenish lines and then it said there was no input, so i restarted, it lowered the clocks, found the right stable clocks for core and memory.
will the situations like this damage my LCD?

Nope, your LCD is not affected in any way by video card overclocks. Back in the old days you could ruin a CRT by displaying something extreme out of range. With an LCD you will either get s larger display with bars on the sides so you can scroll with it, or it will display a message "OUT OF RANGE" and that's it. You could ruin completely your graphics card though, so be carefull, espacially with memory as it tends to fry much more often than a core does.

okay thanks for helping!

for the gpu Memory, if it is too hot, (if it can burn your finger slightly by holding it for 7 secs.) is it on the dangerour range?

what i did is i put pentium 3 heatsink on the 2 first memoies,
those old small board you have push it on the mobo. like a card. but it takes up the core heat too, will it better to take it off?
im not buying any accessories, (mem heatsink, fans,,,,)

If memory runs hot, then use some heatsink (all of them) If still runs so hot you can't leave your fingers on, either decrease the clock or decrease the voltage of the memory (if you are volt modding). The case for that is life longetivity for the memories. They might work now, or even tomorrow, or even for a month. But after a while you will get those nasty lines on your screen and they won;t go away, not even when you take the mem clock down. That means that the memory has a fault beyoned repair.

If on the other hand you don't care about that and you only plan to keep your card for a few months before replacing it with a newer better card, then go ahead leave it burning!

Also try to keep airflow going in your case, that will help everything in your case, including the VGA.
