Comment: My video card is a Chaintech 6600GT PCI-Express OCed from 500MHz core clock frequency to 540MHz and 1.00GHz memory clock frequency to 1.08GHz. This overclocking is stable, I don't get artifacts, crashes or anything wrong. There's an option in the clock settings section called "Apply thses settings at startup" and I wonder if I should enable it. The point is that I don't play that much... often I use my computer only to go on internet or to work. Should I let my clock settings a stock speed and OC my video card only when I'm about to play a game so my video card will live longer (not sure about that) or does changing the clocks speed often can lower my video card longevity even more?

Reply: (edit)do you really need to overclock a 6600GT at all? I mean that is a really nice card! What are you doing that requreis an OCed 6600GT? I would say take of the OCing for good to increase the card's life... www.linuxteens.com
