wolfie,


"i had one but it doesnt work now cos i have newer drivers.."


I think he's talking about Coolbits.

[wolfie]

works fine for me with the newer drivers. "when i have my 4400 in"plus evertime you put in new drivers you have to put coolbits back in.

I see. I only say that because Coolbits does not work with my system, and I thought it was because of incompatibilitys with newer driver versions.

There is coolbits+ now so use that.

i had GTU before and it was really good, but its not compatible with drivers over 29.xx, i installed that coolbits and it messed my card right up, it said my memory was running at 0mhz and my screen went HUGE and about 5 colours. so i restored back to an hour before and everything was fine again.

Try Powerstrip (www.powerstrip.com i think). This is one of the best video OC'ing tools

That's the exact same problem I had, even with Coolbits+.

While I have not used Coolbits, Powerstrip is one of the most popular, easy to use, and compatible overclocking utilities out there. Here is the link, www.entechtaiwan.com/ps.htm

I have used Powerstrip; it is a fantastic program. I didn't see how big the download was, but if it's too big, Powerstrip is also on many MaximumPC CDs.

[Spyda]

too big?? it was about 600k

[Alienware_Dude]

As I said, I didn't go to the page and see. The only reason I said that is because I can't download a lot of things on my 28.8, and I've found that MaximumPC has things that I need on their CDs; it was only a suggestion.

28.8, I feel for ya.

[Alienware_Dude]

Oops, I mean 31.2. What hurts most is that we will never get DSL in my area(straight from my Dad, who works for the phone company), Satellite is not very cost-effective(price/performance wise), and we don't get cable, either. All you 1.5Mbit downstreamers, well I, uhh, ummm.....

[Spyda]

yea, doesnt look like its going to happen where i live now, did have it, when i didnt really know much about computers, then we moved into the country and the exchanges get ADSL enabled on a deamnd/trigger basis. The trigger here is 200 but the demand is only 47. 56k will have to do...
:there is no emiticon sad enough for what im feeling when i think of broadband:


MaximumPC?
