9800 Pro overclocks

[NYHoustonman]

I just got my Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer in today, installed it, all looks well. Just wanted to know, what kind of overclocks are people getting on 9800 Pro's, stock cooling or no?

 

[CaiNaM]

stock: 400/355 (710)
arctic cooling: 420/365 (730)

stock cooling i ended up having to settle for 400/710. 410/720 worked in majority of games, but for some reason it caused texture corruption in farcry, so i reduced it.

with vga silencer, 430/740 worked in almost all games, however ut2004 had problems.. so i ended up at 420/730 which is stable in all games so far.

i clocked it to XT speeds

Very nice

When I had my 9800 Pro with VGA silencer and ramsinks I got 420/780 perfectly stable.

I run my 9600 AIW Pro @ 470/760 in games Of course, I don't have 8 pipes or a 256-bit memory bus but my chip/mem frequencies are higher than yours so neener-neener!!

lol neener-neener

At 410/350 I'm getting desktop artifacting ><... With the fan on high, case temps not above 32C.

Ok what are the defualt speeds for a pro and XT, just for reference?

420/360 stock cooling

405/352.5 stock cooling (I need a new psu and a cooler soon )

470/335

407/351 stock cooling. Haven't tried it higher yet, but it plays farcry w/no problems.

See sig... stock cooling.... Have 2 92mm Panaflows on the side of the case though so I guess it stays fairly cool. Have the stupid 3.3ns memory b/c I had to jump on the 9800Pro when it first came out. Should have waited for faster ram. I've heard of some comming with 2.8ns now and perhaps faster?

430/375 Sapphire Stock Cooling.

Artifacts after about 1 hour of usage at 435/380... so Im guessing I have a little bit of headroom if I reduce temps.

 

[blazerazor]

How about some water cooling on that gpu??? can it get any higher?

 

[dabuddha]

How can you tell when you've overclocked it too much? Besides the huge flames and smoke of course

I currently have mine set to 410/365 after installing my arctic cooler I just got from SVC. I was playing far cry for over an hour with no problems at all. I'd like to try harder but i dont want to fry my card

 

[biostud]

check my sig, I could go a bit higher, but the extra fps would mean so little and I don't want to buy a new card to soon.

 

[kyparrish]

stock: 405/360
w/ artic silencer: 420/365
w/ volt mods and artic silencer: 435 (so far)/ 400 (800)
edit: that 400mhz on the ram is w/ aluminum ramsinks

i'm happy

Update:

Got it to XT speeds easily on stock cooling. Now have VGA silencer installed, new o/c in sig. I have yet to experience any kind of o/c'ing related problems and could probably go higher, but no need to push it....

Stock: 408/710

Giant III: 408/730 (voltage limited core it seems)

Using@400/700

Hinyx memory chips.

 

[Megatomic]

Stock cooling with generic ramsinks: 420/360. The core goes higher but I get very little real extra performance so it's not worth it. I peak out at the above speeds.
