Hello
I bought ASUS EAH3650 256MB graphic card
the purpouse is to be able to watch HD movies on my Athlon64 3200+@2.5GHz
but it would be no fun if I haven´t tried to push it to the limit
the default clocks are 725/800
it has the stock Glaciator cooler (zalman style) but I changed the termal insulating tape :shadedshu with AS Ceramique
the temp at full load is something like 55°C
no Vmods are done because ASUS used proprietry parts without known pinouts
memory is 1.4ns Qimoda, it can do 1100MHz (I can´t remember if not something close to 1180MHz but why to push to the max, when the bandwith is not the bottleneck (or at least I hope so))
but the core drives me nuts
from stock 725MHz I can go as hihg as 864MHz
875MH locks up PC in 3dMark (temp somewhere around 50°C)
I read HD2600 overcvlocking, feedback thread and I found out that ATi did something wrong in BIOS/Drivers and it has bug (cant set clocks in range 854-880)
if they set it beyond 880, they could clock it as far as 920MHz+
I tried that on my 3650 but without any success
I used to use ATiTrayTools but higher it was not stable
I used AMD/ATi GPU Clock tool with CCC uninstalled but it was also not stable at 880MHz
if 65nm RV630 can go 920+ why my RV635 can´t go beyond 864?
VR-Zone got one ASUS EAH3650 TOP and they clocked it to 973MHz at stock cooling
I compared bios of mine EAH3650 and EAH3650 TOP and voltages were the same
What the hell am I doing wrong?
