oc'ing 9600gt

[vict0r]

hello all..

i have the evga 9600gt superclocked (675/1674/900 "1800" memclock) ..

I try to overclock with riva tuner .. to atleast 725/1798/and memclock stays at 900 .. but even in a simple game like css, it plays for like 15 mins, then it hangs and the system boots...

I thought its my psu .. i only have a 450 watt psu, maybe its not pushing it how its supposed to be? when overclocked that is ...

im planning on building a new system very very soon, and will get the corsair 620hx psu .shall i wait till then to OC this card a lil ?

any advice is welcome..

Perhaps you're pushing the card too much?
The point of the superclocked edition is that the factory pushes the card to its "limits". I'm not familiar with how far eVGA takes the "superclocks" though.

You have to consider that your 9600gt is already overclocked at 675mhz, so expecting anymore (especially 725), might be asking too much. Did you try 690 or something a little more reasonable?

my ecs 9600gt is running at 725 playing crysis just fine right now, i am gonna try and push it further. Stock speed on the ecs is 680

the ecs has the AC cooler and I added the turbo module(and my case runs really cool) so maybe temps are your problem, although i guess it could be the psu.
