With my current settings only playing halflife 2 my system becomes unstable at times,just would like to know with a 9800 pro video card do i need to increase the voltage going to my card.these are my settings
cpu 11x230@1.6v
ram 2.5-3-3-11 @ 2.85v
video card is @ 1.5v With iceberg cooling kit, do i need to go higher to keep my vid card more stable.
I have put it through lots of benchmark memtest- super pi- 3d mark2003 and it's all stable.How high can you pump the volts up to.
I just want to know if maybe my video card is causing my problems.Anyone else running 9800 pro can give me some advice,that would be great.

if its not OCed, dont increase voltage, you shouldnt have to to run at stock.

If you raise the voltage higher than it needs to go it can actually cause the card to become unstable. I'd run it at stock voltages if you're running it at stock speed.

I think I'm having issues w/ my Audigy 2 ZS causing conflicts with my graphics card. The steampowered website support says to try to move it to another slot (which I'm going to). You may have a similar problem.

Move the sound card all the way away from your video card, to prevent interference issues.
