Solve : Nvidia geforce 7300 LE overclock?

1.	Solve : Nvidia geforce 7300 LE overclock?
Answer» what is the maximum speed/ memory (mb/mhz) that i should use with a geforce 7300 le without worrying about screwing it up or overheating it?If you have any concerns that outweigh your thoughts over this, then don't bother. Doubt very much that a lower end card like this will go that far and also probably fry itself on ANYTHING but a very modest OC, Limited Edition or not, imo. Try Rivatuner if you are serious and take into consideration what will be cooling it.There isn't a magic number beyond which your card will die. Keep an eye on your temperatures - although with a low end card like that you shouldn't have temp ISSUES - and clock it up until it's unstable, then back off. Simple. You do realise that overclockig a card like that won't yield much benefit?Yeah, but with a lower end card, the frequency's are still going to be stock and a bit. Higher up it will become unstable more quickly. Unless being a fabled chipset, it is not worth it. "Stock and a bit" meaning stock, plus an overclock ... ? Not quite following you here, sorry.For a low end card, i wouldnt take the RISK overclocking it. you will probably burn it out. Dont risk it, buy a better one Quote from: Thomas_Horscroft on July 31, 2010, 04:12:19 PM For a low end card, i wouldnt take the risk overclocking it. you will probably burn it out.

You only have to read COMMENTS above Calum, i ment, overclocking a low end card might damage it, in my opinion.

Regards The risk of damage is not because it's a "low end card" but rather because a low end card is more likely to have a less then sufficient cooler for overclocking. For example my Radeon 7000 is rather low end, and it uses a passive cooler. needless to say it didn't even survive at factory clock settings.

Yeah sorry, that was my WAY if differentiating between a modest OC and one considered a high OC.

You're either not reading what I'm saying, or not reading your own responses. Also, the only way I can imagine a card being damaged by overclocking is somehow managing to stably boost the core clock to the point that the card catastrophically overheats, but logically that's almost impossible, especially with semi-modern cards.
