Overclock 6600gt

[krogoth1989]

I am upgrading to a PCI-E rig this summer, and currently any little performance boost will be usefull. So I was wondering, my 6600gt idles 64 C and does 74 Load, will it be worth buying a cooling device and overclocking this agp wonder? if so what air cooling device would you recommend ? Or should I lay off the overclocking and use stock speeds till summer? I want to play BF2

Most deffinately buy a new fan and heatsink.my giga-byte 6600gt runs 52 degrees celscius at idle and around 60 while gaming.As for overclocking,I was able to get it to run a core speed of 550,and a memory speed at 1120 stable,and without any artifacts when I ran 3dmark03.
