System Specs are
Amd X2 4200
Asus m2n sli deluxe
2 gb trancsend dual channel ddr2 800mhz
ati hd 4850
thermaltake 600w tough power
Ok what i want to do is squeeze more performance out of my hd 4850 nd since my cpu is the obvious bottleneck i really need help overclocking. I've nver overclocked a cpu before. I use a stock cooler. My idle temps are 52-53 degrees nd under full easily crosses 60 degrees. I know many of you guyz would consider that very high. My ambient case temps are 37-38. I've a.i clocked it 8 % more nd the temps i recorded ar idle 53 nd load 67. I've improved the case cooling as much as i can. I have a 140mm rear fan. 92mm side intake pointing at the 4850. 92mm top fan. my goal is to reach atleast 2.6 or 2.7 on air. is it safe to continue or should i jus dismiss the idea of overclocking considering the already high temps.
and also cpu z reports cpu core voltage at 1.1 v..i've read in reviews tht its rated for 1.35v operation. Disabling the amd cool n quiet function has not helped either. should i manually increase or let it be.
