overclocking 9600 need help

[-{gdwg}-Sidewinder]

So I bought the Xtasy 9600 256mg Vid card and am running 3.0 intel system. I downloaded the soft mod to overclock and have ati tweek software.It will overclock but then reverts to original settings.Seems the soft mod didn't work. Says something about 64 bit download but I'm not tecked enough to know what that means and don't want to download and create a mess. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also is there a fan that would work to put over the heat sink?

If it resets, then there is a likelihood that the card is clock locked. No luck with ATI tool?

Did you go the settings in Atitool and remove the lock? :D Its under settings/misc/remove radeon ...clock lock.

Yea I did but dosen't seem to work even though it's checked to unlock.

You might need a bios flash then...not really sure, sorry.

I have a clock locked 9200 :o (stop laughing) running on another computer I own. The soft mod drivers did the trick for me. Sounds like you may have the 64 bit driver version installed. not sure. :confused: Did you try uninstalling the drivers then reinstalling? If not try it, if so then try a different version (non 64 bit).
I assume you got your driver from here?: http://www.techpowerup.com/softmod/downloads.php
Try the FAQ too.

Seems if I leave the ATI tweek program open in my bottom right hand side of screen ( tray mabey?) it will stay on the properties I have it set to overclock but If I close the program after setting-- it will go to default. I've reinstalled the drivers and don't think it's 64 bit. So I'll leave it open like I did and not much else I can do, think this driver is a wierd one for overclocking--oh yea I did go to ati and flash the bios to get the updated and put in the softmods.

That makes sense. The program won’t run if it’s not on. Either click on minimize or select the minimize on close option.
