overclocking 6600?

[willywonka]

Just wondering what the plain 6600's are spose to overclock to.
I got a msi 6600 256mb.[ with zalmans copper fan and heatsinks]
Just wondering coz i can only get about 400 on core out of it.
But mabey i think i dont have enuff power for it i only have a cheap 350 watts psu and running 3.0ghz at 3.6ghz 1gig ram few lights/fans/ 2 drives/hdd's.
It has a power connectioner but it only like a floppy one mabey it dont get enuff juice from that type?
My beat is my psu is no good but mabey thats the limit for the card?
Thanks heap ...Willy

there is no "expected" overclock. you get what you get. each card is different. 400 is already a 33% overclock.

you could try another psu, but I don't think you'll see that much improvement. 6600s don't draw that much power. you could try overclocking the video card with the cpu running at stock speeds. it doesn't matter if it is a floppy or molex connector. the voltages are the same.

could he try Rivetuner and open some pipes and see if there not bad? you'd prolly get better performance if you could.

Yer crazy its has 8 pipe lines so it got no more to unlock.
Ill grab a old 350psu i got at me mates and just hook that up to the card see what happens.
Thx for the help all in all im happy it plays bf2 better the my brothers gainward 6600gt coz of the 256mb ram..
And one more thing since i put it in windows has bein taking long to load and other stuff but still plays good.Mabey that could be a sing its power dont know ill give it a crack with other psu and see mabey reinstall aswelll.
Thx Willy
