Overclocking my X850 Pro

[Netskimmer]

Hi guys, I have some questions about overclocking my X850 Pro… I have installed an ATI Silencer and am getting good temps and thus far have managed to get to 570/520. Should I give my core or memory priority, raise one as high as it will go then start on the other, or try to reach a balance? I would think a balance is the way to go as having one really high and one really low would probably create a bottleneck but I’m not sure. What would be a good goal to set? The highest I heard of thus far is 615/615 but I don’t think I’m going to make it there.

I am not suggesting this is the right way but it always works for me, I always clock the core first, notching it up until I begin to see a artifacts then crank it down 10Mhz and play. Once the core max is reached I normally go 5Mhz down from that then start on the memory in the same manner.

for the most equal clocks (with 256bit mem) is to keep them a bit even. do as tatty said and clock core as high as possible while stable then drop 10 mhz and write that number down. then clock mem as high as possible while stable then drop 10 mhz and write that number down. combine the 2 numbers and test stability...

I managed to get it to 580/600 temps are 41c at idle and 60c at full load, it seems to run stable at these setting (ran Oblivion for an hour and a half with no problems). I experienced graphical distortions and system crashes at 600/615 so it’s probably not going to get much better than this. :ohwell:

"600/615 so it’s probably not going to get much better than this" that's still a great clock for the x850 pro agp be happy and game game game

System is unstable at 600/615, my current setting is 580/600. Not complaining though.
