What is everyones max overclock right now with their Stock-HSF?
Core Clock? And Voltage Used?
Mem Clock? And Voltage Used?
Thanks.
my stock is around 715/840ish with no voltage changes or fan speed adjustments. tested with looping of 3dmark overnight...going beyond this locks up the system.
how are you guys testing for stability?
didnt flash bios either since i can do it w/o the extra voltage...just a bit of a pita to do it after every reboot. cant wait till wizzard figures out atitool.
In real i test the stability of CPU DDR (Prime..) but i don't OC for game. FEAR have no slowdown and wor perfectly with 16xAF with this card, why OC for gaming? So in true, i don't care it's stable when bench, at the moment the test pass...I think it's lik with the 7800GTX ( in SLI or not) the card like high OC in CPU
I'm sorry that I'm not getting half of what you're saying.Quote:

after careful analysis, i believe he said:
why do you need to overclock the damn x1800xt, its as fast as the 7800gtx (in SLI or not?? -_- ) what he really cares about is the cpu overclock and he tests the cpu OC with prime cuz the video card really likes a high cpu speed
This is correct...alot of people are experiencing a huge bottleneck with there scores due to CPU limitations...
Another successful flash. Sapphire X1800XT.

Does it look like this for you guys who also flashed? The core clock in CCC is unlocked but memory clock is maxed. I wished it was the other way :(

ATITool doesn't display the correct frequency though. Is it the same for you?

It does change voltage from v1.400 to v1.480 in this BIOS as well.
I am cooling it with water :)

One ask about something, i have no problem for temp. but i have "freeze display"(crash) during 3DMark benches if i OC at more of ~740/830.. i have try increase the voltage, but i don't know well the max possible, Someone know from what come this crash? Not enough voltage? it seems caused by the Card, the CPU and DDR are tested and stable. Is this a know issue and there's a solution?
Need some help peoples, everytime i run the flash utility the screen just goes blank white and i have to reboot to get out of it ??? the program just doesnt start ?? any ideas or am i missing something here ??? :confused:
Set core & mem to 500/500 before flash.
weird that some people are having this. I flashed my card at 600/700 and never had an issue. I was one of th first to flash right after ugp which was before fugger made the mention of downclocking before a flash.
I had flashed it with stock clocks in 2D when I did mine and it worked fine for me....when I flashed it back I used 500/500 and the same again anytime I flash the BIOS. I trust anything FUGGER says when it comes to that.Quote:

Nothing about the "freeze" (crash in 3Dmark) bug when OC?
clocked back to 500/500 and worked like a charm. :toast:
Yea, at least a 2,6ghz or so would be nice to crack the 10k limit ;)Quote:

¨Burned down the memory since the bh5 couldnt take the voltage for some reason and I have active cooling on mem.
Hoping to make 1:1 245 or so at 1T but well see.
new opteron dual core would be nice to get higher.
:p:
Question.
Using the stock BIOS here, ive been using 1.350 Vcore, as 2D voltage in ATI-clocker, does this mean it stays at that for 3d runs? or will it just use 1.4? In other words am i using less volts than leaving it stock, if stok jumps to 1.4V at stock.
