Read the advice at the very top of the forum ref overclocking. I got a decent middle of the road 53 MHz OC on the core of my 5900xt and 47 MHz on the memory. Since I have had the card its never been a good OCer.

Getting about 5400ish 3dmark03

Processor is OCd to 3.71 GHz from 3.2 - running about 54 celsius on the horrible 478 pin Prescott......I can get more out of it but the temps skyrocket from here - not really worth it. I like to have some leeway so I dont have to go into the BIOS and turn down the OC on a warm day, thats just sad.

I got my harddrive OCd to 10K rpm.......it flies

Well, first you must understand that my VC's memory timings are tighter than stock with my 9800XT BIOS. Core is OC'd by 35MHz and memory is OC'd by 55MHz ( 110MHz effective).

RPM OC? @ aaronrkelly!

Isn't the stock 9800XT speed 410/350? You say your core is running 5MHz slower than 9800Pro stock ( = 380/340).. 9000+ is a pretty amazing 9800 score, even in 3DMark03..

I had mg 6800gt at 440/1200 before i backed it down a bit. i keep it at 410/1100 becuase it has to deal with a lot of environment changes... and who likes having the fans at 12v all the time anyway.

Water cooling is not going to let you o/c your ram higher then the core! I just dont understand how you could do this.. I wanna see some benchies

Yes if you look at his overclock his ram is higher then the core, I have the same zalman sinks at cant take my card above 595 99% of people say the same thing! I replied that he had water cooling on his video card! And i just said that water cooling is not going to help your ram overclock higher! Did you look at his overclock stats? And his card is not even volt moded!
