ATI Mobility 9600 Pro Turbo

astevens0310 · Jun 26, 2006, 07:22 AM

I'm running:
Dell Laptop-Inspiron 8600
Windows XP Pro SP2 / Xandros Linux Dual Boot
Intel Pentium M 755 Dothan
2.00 GHz 400 MHz FSB
2x512 Mb PC 2700 DDR RAM
AGP 4x
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 with newest Omega Drivers

I've performed a copper mod on my video card. This is simply a widely used modification to the video card that involves cleaning the video card of Dell's double sided sticky-tape that's used for heat conduction. Silver thermal compound and copper plates are installed to better transfer heat.

This is supposed to allow high overclocking of the video card. However, before and after the mod I'm only able to knock up the settings by 10 MHz max. The desktop environment is unaffected. As soon as a video game is started the screen suddenly flashes and I experience nothing short of a total breakdown of the game. After exiting the game, any icons on the desktop are distorted. I've attempted to put pictures below, I apologize for the size, but it'll let you see the details I suppose. Willing to test anything that might fix this.

EDIT: Using ATITool 0.25 Beta 14

Ack, here are 2 closer shots--the file dimension restrictions are harsh
