Lol nice!
I didn't realise you'd bought quite that many Freezer 7s!
I was surprised too. I've had a lot of hot running computers that I've installed them in. Not just Freezer 7s. but Freezer 64s and 1 socket 478 as well! I do buy a lot of components from Newegg, Tigerdirect and Provantage! LOL!!

Just so everybody knows, this afternoon, I will begin my move to my student house in York. Unfortunately the previous tenants have been a bit disorganised about the internet connection, so any posts I make to this forum in the next week or so will be few and sporadic. I hope to have things set up as soon as possible (I need them for work!) but you know how things go.

what a worthless forum this is these days..
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

it is, because anybody who needs help on overclocking starts their own thread on it saying "how do I overclock?" and nothing else...

well i overclocked my old P4 from 3.2ghz to 3.51ghz... Is that good? I did notice a increase in performance during boot up, but I can only do it in my BIOS, and this is as far as I can go (overclock10%)
Also, my gecube x1950xt agp I got from 645/702 to 702/855 stable in ATI Tool. I see people getting to 1500-2000 on their memory, and I only get to 950 before my ciomputer crashes... Sammorris said it was the "base" overclock for the memory, and that 950 is actully 1900mhz.
I really dont get that, can someone explain it to me?
Thanks!

If it's like the nVidia cards, it depends on the software you use how it reports it. I suspect that has something to do with the fact that both of our memory is GDDR3. I know if I run certain Forceware versions, it only reports the memory speed as roughly half of what my current version reports, and you can't go above that or it crashes the video card.

I have a question, how the hell am I supposed to overclock my NVIDIA 7600 GT? I installed the latest drivers from their website, I downloaded Coolbits 2 and I ran that. Afterwards in the NVIDIA control panel it told be to download Ntune(When I tried to click on overclocking), which I did. After installing that it only shows me my GPU temps! No overclocking options whatsoever. I have now uninstalled Ntune and I was wondering what to do.

Try using RivaTuner from Guru3d. Just search it in google and download the latest version which is 2.02. Then start the app and click and the diagonal arrow pointing down right across where it says "ForceWare Detected and select the first option which is "System settings". From the first tab you should be able to overclock.

I downloaded that and it says that my drivers are too new and I just install a updates version of Riva Tuner, but I already installed the newest one I believe.
EDIT: My card is the super clocked version so do I really need to overclock further? Its at 600mhz core speed, and 1560 Mhz memory. BTW in rivatuner that 1560 mhz should equal 780 mhz right?

Try Forceware 93.71 and enable Coolbits. I was able to clock my 7600GT to 650 and 1600MHz comfortably with it! Guy from nVidia sent it to me!

Did you try the Forceware and coolbits as I suggested? I got the same thing with a few different versions. That's why the chap at nVidia sent me this one. If you can't find it let me know and I'll send it to you as an email attachment or via sendthisfile.com!. If I let it find it's own levels it goes a bit higher in both chip and memory, but my GPU temps start going up so I settled on 650/1600.
From what docTY told me I have some very good memory chips in mine, so I'm batting 500. The Sapphire X800GTO I had in my D-940 didn't OC worth a flip! Luck of the draw, I guess. I got 16 working pipes, but you couldn't do much to improve it speed wise! LOL!!

I tried the versions you told me. Afterwards it started working, kinda. My core speed went up to 650 but not more, and my memory went up 3 Mhz before being labeled unstable! You know I though if I bought an already overclocked card it would overclock better than normal ones!

What brand and model video card is yours again? Do you know what brand of memory your's has? If I let it determine my OC automatically, the core stops at 728 and the memory stops at 1678. Click test and it's done. My GPU gets a bit warm at about 59-60C. I kept playing with it and settled on 650 and 1600 as at that point the temps stay at 50-51C at idle, which was only a couple of degrees above the stock temps. They were actually a bit higher at the time because I hadn't done the Silverstones yet. Concentrating on better case ventilation improved all my temps except the hard drive, which seems to stay at 35-37C now! The front case fan which has a bottom air intake, blows over and under it.

It is a EVGA 7600 GT CO Superclocked. How do I let it determine my OC automatically?

Open the nVidia control panel from the taskbar and click 3D settings. Click on Change overclocking configuration below the Performance bar and click the box marked Find Optimal.
If this doesn't show make sure you have made the registry change with the Coolbits thing in the files that came with the forceware. Just double click on it and click yes to the registry change! Reboot your computer and try again. Make sure when you open the control panel that Advanced is clicked! Otherwise it won't show the Overclocking options.

For some reason it wouldn't show even though I had installed coolbits, so I opened up the registry editor and changed the coolbits value to 3. When I click optimal it goes about half way and then it just goes back to the overclocking screen at the factory speeds.

Oh and no matter what speed I set it at it goes back to factory setting, even if I underclock it. Could you email me the forceware you are using?

abuzar1,
It's sent! It's about 40MB so it may take a few minutes to download. You might want to download it to the desktop and then move the folder where you want it. I usuall save the RAR file, at least until I'm sure the software works properly. Then if I do want to keep the file I just move it into the 7600GT folder in your instance. I never used to download to the desktop till one day I discovered it's a whole lot less work than having to open a $hit-Load of windows, and if you use move, you don't even haVe to clean up the desktop! Hope it works as well for you as it does for me. Like I said, it was sent directly from nVidia. I have some software (I think!) they also sent for removing old video drivers completely. I'll see if I can find it and send it along!
