so if you were running at 335mem speed it is actually 670mhz?

Hmmm yeah.... It might be that your overclock utility is reading actual memory speed (300) as opposed to the DDR value (600) like mine does i.e. mine is 685 but, if it used a system like yours, it would show as 343 (in theory of course)

So hence 300 (600) is not far off the theoretical max of 606mhz etc.

And 335 is storming along at 670mhz, some 64mhz over the rated max.

Memory heatsinks, passively are pretty useless :S

And as for mad "3dmark scores", some of it is done by people who drop mipmapping and a load of other filtering methods to get a higher mark. So dont look into it too much,

Blimey, all of this gfx O/Cing business sounds like more hard work than it's worth.

I've just ordered the parts for a new PC, including a 9500 Pro, think I'm going to just leave it as it is.
