I didn't read through all 27 pages, but does anybody else get yellow dots appearing in ATITool when overclocking, but it doesn't detect any artifacts? I'm not really sure what to do when this happens.

yep, thats what happens to me.
Do you just ignore them?
turn on the old scanning method. it should be fine that way..
here my sapphire with a very crappy core, every V above 1,075 gives me errors
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1754873
Ignore the whole scanning period. Its still buggy and will error out either way. Best way I've found to test stability is to run rthdribl for a few hours then check and first see if its still running, then look at the screen and see if it has artifacts, then moving to a loop of 3d mark is the next best thing. After that you can usually say then its stable.Quote:

thanks alot. Yeah last night I ran some artifact testing and even at stock it was giving me errors. I figured it was due to the Beta status of the program.Quote:

ive searched all 43 pages and i dont really see many AIW overclocks. well here are mines so far.
stock cooling (just bought vf-700)
temps 60-78
625/650 so far too much time to see each individual mhz
1.17/2.0/2.0 my mem i just boosted it up to eliminate the voltage factor.
600/600 only requires 1.5/1.856/1.856
highest ive gone is like 640/ 675 volts unknown.
but yea it seems the AIW cards kick some @$$!!
EDIT 3d mark05 is 89xx 06 is 37xx
will update results later. Nice seeing u deathman. wish u linked me to this place from ocforums.com
Ya its hard since you have to go by what someone posted in there title. I think ViperJon would have the record if he posted his. I know I scored 4340, which someone can beat thats for sure, since I have a decent OC on my CPU but it definatly can be better. And the card was just bearly at a XT lvl when I ran that bench.Quote:

(2 pages into the search you'll find the RD580 w/ crossfire, and 5 pages in is my score.)Quote:

oops sorry did mean 1.17
Whats your temps? I know when I was scoring mine it would hit around 60-62C doing normal ops.Quote:

Ah yes thats right I remember you had the insane clocks :) I can't get mine stable with anything more then 1.225V anymore, 1.25V if its right from a cold boot to a run ASAP, at least in 05, can't do that in 06 yet. Lucky man...Quote:

Mines loading at about 50-55C currently with clocks in sig :)Quote:

what ram chip speed is this
samsung 504
k4j553230F-VC16
is that 1.6? or 1.4?
Thats 1.6ns From what I understand the last 2 digits on the bottom line is the speed it is. Mines xx14 meaning 1.4ns.Quote:

Well played with my clocks slightly. Figured out what was holding me back and why it seemed I was really suckin on my higher voltages with little effect in core speed.
Well whats in my sig works perfectly fine 580.5/730 w/ 1.15/2.203/2.004V I've been running at 580.5/702 w/ 1.15/2.104/2.004V for a while now. But what ever it seems taking that extra volts to get to 700 seemed to be hindering higher clocks with higher voltages.
For instance 600 was stable with 1.2V with sometimes. This is with the memory at 702 2.104/2.004V. More volts didn't seem to help with the issue so I thought about downclocking the mem slightly to see what happened. Well got this stable 621/688.5 w/ 1.2/2.075/2.004V. I know I can do 695 on the memory at this voltage but playing it safe and conserving the extra OC for stability at least on the memory. It gets to roughly 62C core compared to 57-58C at my previous clocks, but at least its a decent boost which I like.
I've tried lowering the memory speed/voltage more but it doesn't seem to have an affect on the overall core OC. Just a little intresting thing I found just figured people might want to try if there pushing there 1.4ns ram close to 700Mhz and see if it helps them OC the core all that much more. Overall the core OC helps more then the ram so overall a nice gain.
Have any of you guys had problems with overclocker.exe?
When I start it i get the messeage; "Error reading video BIOS".
It can maybe bee my X300SE in the second 16x-port...
ppl say the overclocker.exe relaxes timings.Quote:

1.2/2.0/2.0
650/625
46-48 idle 66-71 load
not bad
get get much higher with out adding substantial volts to the core. can even hit 560 stable with 1.225 yea im stable 1.2 at 650
