Thanks Charlie. 2.1 is the 'recommended' max by G.Skill. Some people have taken it higher without issues. You shouldnt need to go higher then that, I have mine running at 1.9 at the listed timings in my sig. Your ram is OC'd a bit harder then mine (I keep mine at a 5:6 ratio, so I dont have a need to go higher). Try 1.9, if it gives you problems up it to 2.0 then 2.1. If it wont stay stable, back the timings off to 6-6-6-20 and reset the volts to 1.9, rinse/repeat. My hope is that it'll be stable at 5-5-5-20(15?) at 1.9 volts for you, like mine.
GPU? Use eVga's Precision (
EVGA | EVGA Precision | EVGA Precision) and change as follows:
core 650
shaders 1500
mem 1100
Those are my Folding-stable clocks on the BFG and evga 260 192 SPs that are installed in my Main rig.[/quote]
Those are pritty conservative numbers charlie! Grab Furmark (
FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net) start with charlies numbers, and see how high you can go. This is a pritty good gfx overclocking guide to get you started: Up the Core until you get triangles/crashes, back it off 10-20mhz . Do the same with the shaders, until triangles/crashes. Ram is similar, but you'll see white (or green) dots when it errors.
nVidia has a GPU recovery message now (atleast in Vista). Thats the 'crash' I'm talking about.
