Lo guys, jsut got the above with arctic silencer 5, and i want to overclock it a little, can any give me some cloks that will deffinatly work, cause i dont wanna go to high. If they are all different then no probs, ilh ave to find out stable clocks myself
Cheers
Just download ATiTool (http://www.rechpowerup.com/atitool) and try 'Find Max Core' en 'Find Max Mem', it will give you pretty save results.
or you can just go up 5MHz or 10MHz at a time untill you reach a limit, it works for me, however it takes lots of time ;)
ok, il do the ati tool thing, i wasnt sure if i trusted it, but u seem to think its good. Do i need to up the arctic cooler fan temp up, and if so how do i do it?
the "find max" is exeedingly dodgy, in that 99% of the time it will go too far and either crash the machine or make it artifact in which case you will need to restart.Quote:

Temperature is very likley to be what will limit it here, but you should be able to get ~610 if the ACS 5 is as good as people say.
Max temperature will be around 80-90c before it becomes unstable.
cool, thanks silent, im running 55 degree after counterstrike source has been on for 4 hours
which to me isnt bad. you say 610, is that 610 core or mem?
Scrap ATI-Tool it's crap.
The best thing to do is run Rivatuner, and clock it manually 5-10mhz at a time. Loop the 3dmark 2001 nature test (as this will get the X850 core hottest out of anything), and Run 3dmark 03 to test for artifacts on the memory.
Or you could just play a few games, but not as good IMO.
Of course I would never condone overclocking a product past the point at which the manufacturer had tested it prior to sale...
...but if I were to comment at all...
...then I would say that the 3rd game test in 3DMark05 is actually brilliant for spotting artefacts because even though the test stresses the card - there are still large areas of white - so it is very easy to see 'wrong bits' against that kind of background...
...or so I have heard ;)

That is one of the best reasons for getting an X800XL - the ram supplied is (generally - in every case I have seen) top notch and running at way under its limitQuote:
