    Biggest overclock on a standard 6800?

    Jus wondering whats the highest overclock people have had on standard 6800s? I unlocked all the pipes on mine, and its now running 374/821 perfectly stable - though Riva Tuner keeps telling me it failed the internal driver verification?

    runs at 40c idle 63 is the highest i've seen it go underload - and thats with the standard cooling, so i should have a lot more headroom no?

    Hmm can't quite remember what I had on my 6800nu but i think it was around 450 on the core & 900 on the memory. That was overvolted & tec cooled, needless to say it met a speedy demise ......but it was fun

    you should be able to get the make off the chips and from that the rated speeds

    what core do you have?
