I bought my card (ATi Radeon X800XT PE) used, and it was running hot. (Initially it was 70*C idle, 90*C + full load.)
ATi Tool (0.25 Beta 10) reported the clocks were at a "default" of 500/500.
I treated it with Arctic Silver 5 and let it rest, then an Arctic Cooling ATi Silencer 5 Revision 2.
Now my clocks are back to Platinum stock, temps are decent and handle any game (Lowest idle after gaming in summer is about 34*C, max load on a hot day I've seen is 54*C) but it will not overclock past 520/560. Memory temps take longer to cool than core, is that normal with an AC silencer?
Now after all the TLC I gave it, it crashes (system hangs, screen freezes then eventually resets) if I give it any degree of overclock over Platinum speeds. The latest version of ATi Tool (0.25 Beta 13) is actually giving me error reports after crashing saying "overclock too high: last stable was 524/560"
I'm using "lower overclock, more artifacts detected" method, "use old (more compatible?) scanning method", and 100% fan speed....... HELP?
