I had a 8600n GT on my notebook... recently i overclock it a bit to higher speed and i getting slightly better fps in my games. I checked the temperature after the overclocking is same as before I did it ( 90C - 97C) under full load, so it is gonna damage my notebook? Anyway I overclock it from 475/950/400 to 515/1030/420.
you put in celsius, 90-97 celcius = 194-206, if that's really what you're running at you might have issues in the future, after about 140 F @ stress id start to worry, especially in a laptop because their cooling systems suck and can often be obstructed, i'd recommend you at least get yourself a powerful laptop fan to set it on top of at all times
short answer if it was mine i'd turn it back down, unless you have some kind of accidental protection plan from the retailer, then you can just pour a beer on it when it fries or run it over and they;ll probably just give you a giftcard to buy another without quesiton, standard warranties are pretty much all null and void now though so if thats all you got turn it back down
No miss type.. is in Celsius. Even in stock speed, the temperature is the same as after overclock it. I have being using it for 6 months with that kind of temperature before i overclock it. I do not know whether I am getting a defective card or not as I already changed once about 6 months ago as the previous one failed to work suddenly.
Besides, my laptop is acer aspire 5920G. Does it still void warranty if i change back to the stock speed? And as I wondering, how could they find out the card is burned due by overclocking as the speed is changed by softwares in windows and if i locked my pc. lol
yeah they can see if you ever changed the values on the clock speeds for your card, and locking windows won't matter techs will always get into your system if you send it in under warranty, even if you uninstalled the OS they can get in and find out if you OC'ed it, besides that manufacturer warranty is going to fight you every step of the way to fix a computer under their warranty, especially if they think they can reject you based on OC'ing, never going to happen, the only thing that can save you now is an accidental warranty from a retailer because you can just smash the whole thing and bring it in, say you ran it over on accident and they give you a giftcard for a new one, other than that a basic retailer warranty might work if you wired your laptop up to a car battery or something after the gpu goes and just fried the whole system claiming a power surge, they can't see if the gpu is oc'ed if its melted... i've never tried that one before though so i dunno if that would work but in theory it would
