Why does it matter? You only overclock if you need too, or over volt for that matter - in any case buying a new card eliminates the need for this period.

I had to undervolt my laptop to keep it from melting itself as well as under-volting the Video card in it because frankly it was a high powered card for a laptop that couldn't handle the heat (design problem).
The difference here is I had no choice in doing this, otherwise playing aces high for 30 seconds would crash the laptop due to heat.

In your case I don't even SEE a reason to use furmark or bother with overclocking for any purpose other then destroy a video card.

Why not just buy some lego's and build something then drop a cherry bomb on it to see what happens? more entertaining and less money your parents spend.

i came here to see if any one else had this problem,

If you had bother to read the instructions when you used FurMark, you would have known that others that used the same program most likely experienced the same issue.

Oh I am so quoting that.


meh.   He screwed up his video card because he wanted to stress it.   I think it's funny he went emo-rage though.
