Alright, I just hope that its out here in Sweden. Can you buy the VGA NV silencer in any pc store? Is it worth it, does it help you a lot with the OCing, i mean, why not just buy a gfx 5900 for those extra 25 dollars? Or does it cost more? :P im not sure, hehe.

it would cost a little more to go up to a 5900 lol alot more i believe...

i dont know if you'll be able to pick them up directly at your store... your store... if it's a good one could probably order you one... but they'll probably charge you an arm and a leg

you may be able to buy them online soon... just make sure they ship internationally

Awesome! If its cheaper buying this cooler, its defenetly worth it Does it help you a lot with hardcore OCing, as in OCing the core really much? If so, could you give me a specific website to order it at? Could defenetly use one of those, thanks mate

their not out yet LOL
i'll have to get back to ya...

you'll just make sure that your holes line up with them... there should be details on how to do that... since some card manufacturers dont put holes in the exact same place

www.scythe-usa.com ships internationally so i betting you can get it from there

Dude, I know that theyre not out yet, but that doesnt stop you from giving me a link to a website that might have them when they DO come out, right?:P Anyways, thanks a lot bro, ill try that website, but would you try to let me know when theyre out? Appreciate it man

Having a weak cpu will affect the performance of your card. Heat is not the only cause to having slow or choppy performance. Instead of investing in coolers and such, i would focus on getting your cpu in the 2GHZ + area. I would look into buying an AMD 2800+ or higher if you can afford it.

In other words, your driving a BMW with a Go-kart engine, you can pimp the wheels up but you still ain't going anywhere fast.

Is 'Cool Bits' the best overclocking utility for Nvidia???

Im using Power Strip right now.

Coolbits is a registry fix that now allows you to use the factory set overclocking tool. Check out this link for more info on overclocking.

Peace

Thnx... But I Googled it... and got it to work

The coolbits utility is not quite what I was expecting...
It's the same feature they unlocked in the last driver...
Power Strip offers more features and so does Riva Tuner and WinFox II.

Yeah, i use Rivatuner, it's quite awsome, and if you have an nVidia GeForce series card, than you might find the "Geforce Overclocking Tool" quite interesting...

Or you could get a 2500+mobile on a decent mobo and OC your way to the skies...

And it don't matter what engine you got in a BM, you'll still be wishing you bought the Merc (that's Benz to you guys over there)

Hi..

i got the geforce ti4200 from leadtek and heard this card can be overclocked alot!

to do this will a new heatsink or fan be required?

or is there n e thing else i will need to know other then the stuff mention on the first post?

thanks

Well it depends on how good the stock cooling is.

i'm not sure if its n e good...

if i need a cooler for it, what one shall i get?

i'm in the UK and i'm not sure if the coolers they have is compatible with the ti4200...

if n e one can recommend me one it will be very apreciated...

btw will the 60x60 heatsink work with this type of card? also do i need a fan with the heat sink or use the one that is on the card?

thanks
