Hey Zotac.. First off i need to say that this is my first thread here,and that i find this community GREAT. I have a nice Zotac GT 440 DDR5 ,and im pleased with it.. I run GTA IV at full HD resolution and med-high settings on this configuration :

Asus P5LD2 X/1333

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 at 2.2 gghz

Zotac GT 440 1 GB DDR5 810 / 3200

Kingston 1 GB DDR2 @ 333 mhz
(Yes i know its slow)
G Skill 2 GB DDR2 @ 400 mhz

MS Industrial 400 w PSU





Its running at around 20 - 30 fps..
I get no less than 35 at night when it rains, but i want more! now! rawr!

My cpu has a cooler master cooler,im not quite sure about the model but here have a look :




So,would it be enough to cool down an overclocked processor?
The cpu is idling at 38 C and it can take a MAXIMUM of 73.3 C
What do you think? Bear in mind that its 3 years old..



EDIT :

Well.. this aint good.. have a look
Ran Prime95 for eight minutes and it heated up like this

First off nice topic.

Second, It has nothing to do with overclocking zotac hardware so kind of non related to this thread but at same time might be.

third, I do not recommend overclocking with those temps, as well as you wont gain much more out of overclocking a E series cpu, Haven't heard much good news on performance after OC'ing them.

So if you want to, I recommend upgrading to a Better cpu cooler wich Not many will fit ur build do to the PSU.


Im not trying to be rude, btw, just saying what it is, I could be right or wrong about the thread being here for OCing help.

But I do know, you really need a better cooler if you period plan on Ocing at all for the Very small performance gain you will get.

Ah well i wont be able to put in some gigantic coolers because of my psu,but i planned to get a Thermaltake V3 case..
The psu goes at the bottom of the case there so yeah

What else would you recommend me to gain a little bit more FPS ?
