couldn't get my RAM to run at different ratio so used FSB : DRAM spec = 3:4
CPU = 386*7 = 2.7GHz
Sucks...

I roughly calculated the total energy consumption used by my system and it should be around 270Watts even with the graphic card.

Do you think PSU is holding me from further overclocking the video?

What about the temperature?

Spuggi says that he/she is using the stock cooler and with the help of the BIOS overclocked it up to GPU@891Mhz and MEM@1332Mhz...

I could do that too but system either crashes or give out a VPU recovery session.

I have stabilized it the GPU@840
further going causes VPU recovery or crashes after exhaustive use...

besides that how do yo know the clock is stable or not?
I used ATITool 0.27 B2 and turned on the 3D renderer (Cubic Fur) and scanned for artifacts
Is there a better way to see if your clock is stabilized aside fromt the above mentioned method?
If your power supply is of poor quality (no-name brand as you mentioned originally) then I could see this system causing it a few headaches...
