Hi there,

I've recently followed the steps on the techpowerup.com website and I've unlocked my card from 12 pipelines to 16! Cha-ching. :)

Having said that, I also ran the max core and the max memory tests. Both of them eventually caused my monitor to turn black/lose the signal. Reboot fixed that no problem and ATiTool told the results and at what point the system crashed.

The results were as follows:

Max Core: Clocks set to: 546.00
Max Memory: Closk set to: 615.85

I've made the assumption that I can run my card overclocked a bit lower than that. Right now, I have it at 515/575. Any suggestions about this? Does it seem safe?

The temperature idles at 39 and after playing Need For Speed: Most Wanted for a bit, it was up to 65.

Thanks in advance for all comments! (PS: I'm a newbie overclocker, can you tell? :laugh:)
