Thread: XFXGeForce 6600GT 128MB DDR3 w/ VIVO, DVI

Go for the VIVO, DVI for the extra $20 you might as well, DVI means you can connect a second monitor to the card, or you can run one monitor through the DVI, i believe it provides better performance than the standard monitor connection.

Vivo i think means video in video out, meaning you can connect your tv to it and other things..

Sorry for being so vague, i can't remember much.

*Spleeeef!

Yeh i've overclocked my AMD64 3200+ to 2.33Ghz

I should be able to overclock some more if i change the memory dividers from 1:1 to 6:5 or something, although i have yet to try.

I'm running PC3200 GeIL Golden Value @ 235Mhz FSB (DDR466=PC3700), however apparently i've been quite lucky as i have yet to meet anyone on forums that reports any where near my OC with this memory

I'm running stock HSF / 2 x 80mm 3000RPM fans (1 intake / 1 exhaust) stock volts for everything, upping the voltages doesnt really help, as my OC is limited some what by the memory's FSB capabilities.

and yes XFX cards are very good.

Also remember that the 939 64's run HyperTransport, in your bios there is something called LDT and you can set it to: x1 / x2 / x3 / x4 / x5, the speed of the HyperTransport is LDT x FSB.

So if you leave LDT @ x5 thats 5x Whatever your FSB is..

So at stock: LDT @ x5 / FSB @ 200Mhz that means: 5x200Mhz = 1000Mhz (speed of HyperTransport). If you overclock your FSB, you are overclocking your HyperTransport speed (1GHZ default). Which it doesn't like.

So Reduce your LDT to x 4 and overclock your FSB to 250mhz that would give you: 2.5GHZ CPU Speed and 250Mhz x 4 = 1000Mhz (so you havn't overclocked your hypertransport).

Explain more later, in a guide im writing, so stay tuned on the forums.

*also remember that you need good case temperature, good balanced air flow, and preferably a good HSF.

FSB - Front side bus
HSF - Heat sink fan
