Overclocking the 8800 GTS

[iam2thecrowe]

My experience - i managed to get my inno 3d 8800gts 640mb OC edition to 675mhz core (shaders staying in sync with the core cant remember what mhz) and 1090mhz ram with stock cooler for every day use never getting above 87C in furmark at 100% fan speed. Use MSI afterburner and adjust the fan profile as needed to keep temps down. I also ran a lower fan and underclock profile for desktop use and only OC'd when gaming. I had also re-seated the stock heatsink with AS5 thermal paste, which dropped temps a couple of degrees. I still have the card packed away in a box. I have now just read how old this thread is........and i feel stupid................
