BF2S Forums Overclocking question

Okay, so I'm overclocking my 8800 GTS (G92) using rivatuner... and I've got it running at 799/1996/1001 (core/shader/memory) and it's idling at the same temp (about 42C) and when I pull up FSX and play at 1600x1200 on Ultra high settings with anti aliasing and everything cranked up, I get decent frame rates (still dips down in cities but in flight it's a constant 20-25 FPS, which is the max I set) and the temps only get up to 45-46C. (stock speeds are 670/972 btw)

That seems like quite a bit with no significant temperature change even in game?  Am I missing something?

If you have stock cooler on the GTS it is not showing you correct temps... 46C laod temps are way under possible at full load, OC and stock cooler.

Either your temp. display is fucked up or you have a brilliant airflow in your PC.

I'm using the nvidia monitor for temps (it's always been reliable in the passed) and I crack the fan in the card up to ~80% so it's kinda loud but I have a CM stacker with 7 120mm fans so loud is kinda relative..

@ Freezer, I used your guide and made sure to switch it to preformance 3D

Also, I pressed "apply" every time I stepped up and then ran FSX, and the speeds changed in the Nvidia monitor deal, but when I was done I pressed "OK" in the Rivatuner and it said I needed to restart my computer for it to take effect... I assumed that just meant to permanently take effect right?  The other monitors I had up displayed that those speeds were in fact running

The core temp on that is the same as the nvidia monitor, and I have that running with the game. It has graphs that show that the temp doesn't change much.  I'm actually thinking that changing the fan speed has a lot to do with it.  Usually when I play crysis I get temps around 70C but when I crank up the GPU fan to 70-80% I'm getting 55C in game...
