I dont' want to deal with OCing. I tried to OC my CPU. My computer wouldn't boot. Nothing happened. I eventually got it to boot ( holding th epower button). Not going to risk blowing poop up.

I think it's because you OCed it too high. Part of OCing is trial and error, and maintenance.

My android phone comes with 600 mhz on demand. OCing lets me push it to 787 mhz with a 5 degree temperature change, even on 90+ degree weather. I had it set to 804 mhz but that was too high, and constantly my phone would reboot.

You just gotta mess around but play with SAFE ranges.

OCing for those cards is well documented on the web, you just gotta look for the right numbers.

look at my first post on this thread.

I didn't push it very high at all. I don't know what the duck happened. Needless to day, I don't want to mess with it.

I know a guy that has this clocked over 4ghz. I could probably get mine pretty high if I wanted to. It runs cool as duck with the cooler I ahve on it.

<@away_xbox> Amak11 cut the Peenus wire. This has defused the timer on the TNT! Just try and get it off you without setting it off, ok?

The 560 Ti. Sooo ducking mad. Spent close to 4 hours helping build my buddies computer (over an hour of that time was spent trying to figure out why his computer wouldn't boot which was due to a 2nd power cable that needed to be attached to the mobo). Turns out that in the process of removing my 4870, blowing the dust out of it, and installing it into his computer, I somehow ducked the fan on it. It doesn't spin (kinda does a jerk as you turn the computer off). Looks like it'll either need a new cooler on it or just needs a new video card. Either way, I owe him $80 for the card since that's what he bought it from me for.

Well congrats on your new card, and sucks to be him hehe.

Why not getting a new cooler (zalman) and hooking it up to that card? Unless it already shows artifacts, it's worth a shot.

The worse the card did was show a green bar across the top of the screen during boot. We took the card out and it was hot and fan wasn't working. Card works now though. Apparently, the fan wasn't plugged into the card completely (I swear I chekced this 30 times). So now I don't owe him the money back for the card and his computer works! Holy poop ducks that took forever to build. First computer I've built without the assistance of anyone else more experienced.

Took ages? Man, PCs are easy as poop to build with recent hardware. Setting up a neat and fully functional OS is another story though.

Back on the "vidya" card matter, I'm lucky because my old 8400GS works like a charm again.
