Overclock jumper op Gigabyte TNT2

Een jumper om je TNT2 over te klokken. Vooral het idee van die turbo switch staat me wel aan

I came across something rather unique in the reviews today. Mike over at AnandTech reviewed this Gigabyte TNT2 that has an "overclocking jumper" on it. Another thing is that this is the first video card that employs the "sandwich" style of cooling with a heatsink/fan combo on the top of the chip, and a heatsink on the back of the PCB. Here's another sharp bit: They decided to follow NVIDIA's recommendation and ship the card at 125/150, but has included a turbo jumper on board. What's this jumper do? It cranks the speed up to 156/156 by loading a slightly different BIOS. With careful cooling of the TNT2 processor, they feel that all their boards should all be able to hit this higher speed. You could even attach that virtually useless turbo switch some cases still have to the jumper header and have a quick little way to overclock your TNT2 without the use of any software utilities. Unfortunately, a reboot is required to effect a change with the jumper since the card BIOS must be reinitialized to recognize the new setting, so you won't be able to just hit the button when it's time to game.

Bruut de hele mik gecopie/pastaat...
