BigJerm Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Alright, Well I just recently overclocked my 8600M GT, and I was just wondering if the current temp is safe, and such. I am new to overclocking, so excuse my nubness. I overclocked the card from 475/400 to 600/475 (Shader Clock 1200). The temperature never rises above 60, but I have noticed something whilst playing Team Fortress 2. For some reason the glass at one point was a purple color, and I was just wondering if this is an artifact. I attached a in-game screen shot. I used RivaTune 2.06 to overclock. Peace.

Guest Guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 It's safe at 58...don't let it go over 90 though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJerm Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 It's safe at 58...don't let it go over 90 though :) Alright, thanks. I think I am going to get a cooling dock for the laptop tomorrow, so I can overclock it without any risk at all. Thanks for the reply.

Laes Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) This is a Source engine bug from alt-tabbing. This can also happen with the water and also user sprays so you're perfectly fine and have nothing to worry about. This isn't artifacting :) . Also happens in Counter-Strike: Source, or any Source game for that matter. Edited December 16, 2007 by Laes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vOlvOx Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 which driver did you use? i'm using 163.67 this drivers are perfect in every game for me, is overclocking possible with this driver version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJerm Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks a lot, I should have thought of the alt-tabbing. I have seen it before, should have put the two together. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eric Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 in my macbook pro i have a geforce 8600M GT 128MB too and i raised the frequencies from original 470/635 to 570/800, yesterday I raises again to a maximum off 600/900 using the ati tool... without any 3d performance my gpu temperature lays between 50 and 55°C... playing crysis raises my temp to above 80°C sometimes, average is 75-77°C I didnt get any errors during gameplay. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
