I recently bought a ATI 9550 256mb. Now i've heard and seen a lot of thing. some of "a 9550 being a 9600 just underclocked" so if you bring it up to 325mhz core, you have yourself a 9600. Some people have theirs to 400 etc. Now i would love to OC my card, but i'm unsure if i should, or if i should, just not too much. The card came with a heat sync, and not a fan. Playing BF2 with med graphics the card stays cool, so i'm not too sure if the sync if good or not. I've heard mixed reviews from heat syncs.
My main question is if i should OC (default settings are 250mhz core, 196mhz mem) at all. or if I can a bit, and if "yes i can" how much would you suggest?
thanks in advance
