Coffee Crisp

Yeah, a lot of ATI's gpu's are built to last. But I switched to NVIDIA's side because they've been losing the GPU war for a while.

That video was pure win.

I don't watch porn on a dell. I try to scavenge the useful parts for my better computer lol.

Sorry to hear that, I didn't feel anything when I heard that my Grandma died. But for some reason it just all came out later. I hope that doesn't happen to you, it feels terrible.

:thumbdown: Happy birthday XD

Shouldn't this be made one of the green messages that keep getting replayed in servers? It would probably attract a few more people. This is a cool thing to do btw.

Well I think you can do that through BIOS or some freeware app. If your pc won't boot it's probably cause you've just killed it.

Well you need a good power supply for it. I think minimum 600w. And I'm sure you can find those in a local computer shop.

I try not to get the temp 10 °C higher than the original just to play safe. I've never used a 8500 though so I'm not sure how much it can take before bursting into flames.

Head up, this is all coming from a newb overclocker. You can use google as an alternative. Well you can use the original overclocking app available at http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_system_tools_6.02.html. Just make sure you monitor the temperature. and it doesn't get too hot. Or you can use Riva Tuner as an alternative. To overclock it you just have to find the settings for your gpu when you are using one of the apps and edit them, preferrably make them higher. J ust make sure that the Core Clock and the Memory Clock does not go higher than the Shader Clock. And make sure that the Memory Clock does not go higher than the Core Clock. The only problem with overclocking a gpu like that is that it will frequently crash a lot more than usual. I've had first had experience with my 8600GT with it black screening if things get too hectic. BTW here's a ss of my overclock app.
