Parhelia Overclocking

[WyWyWyWy]

How high can you guys OC your Parhelia?
Mine can do 11% (244.2Mhz), but freezes after an hour or so gaming.
Absolute stable at 10% (242MHz).

Am I just lucky? Or is the average 10%.
Oh am my card only has banding on 2nd head too

[Novdid]

You're a lucky one!

[K6-III]

My card can do 238mhz stable. As for what the voltmod will do, I'll have to try that when I have the time...

Huh?

[mrmikeman]

I can only OC by 10%..

This sux since I have the OEM version. It runs at 220 OC'd.

Tried through the BIOS (PINS file) to get the memory up also but it couldn't handle it. Oh well. I saved a WHOLE 50$ by going OEM.

Weired I know, but there is no banding on the first head (both HD15).

14% Here(250). Any higher and it locks up within an hour or straight away.

I'm watercooled though. Also one of those that has never seen banding on either of his Parhelias using dual CRT's. My default core is 217 rather than the 220=\

[chhfchhf]

mine only at 207MHz£¡
my parhelia is a oem

[borat]

228Mhz here OEM non modded fully sttable, ram can do 620 mhz ddr for about 5mins before corruption and 595 mhz fully stable, ramsinks would help but im not gonna glue things to a £300 card.

Parhelia has no potential?

I am very disappointed with my parhelia´s potential, too.

Only 207 MHZ core and 565 memory seem to be stable.
Even if I raise the AGP voltage, there are no 210 Mhz runnning stable.
What am I doing wrong???

I heard there should be 240/ 610possible without voltage mod.
10 % overlocking potential is almost always possible, why with a parhelia not (especially the memory that is 3.3 ns => 333 Mhz (theoretical))???

Any other opinions about that?
Solutions?

Raising the AGP voltage won't help you at all, it'll just wear out part of the card faster.

You heard wrong

I'm guessing I seriously lucked out then?

[Kruzin]

You are partially lucky. Not all cards can o/c nearly that far, even with extreme cooling.
But you have also gone to those extremes, by watercooling your card. You can't compare what you can get to what others can get with stock cooling.

Oh good grief... best mine will do stable (no mods) was 207, so I don't even bother
