9500 PRO not overclockable?

[peonyu]

Hi, I just ordered a R9500 PRO and was checking around to see how to overclock it and I stumbled across a thread that said you cant OC it. At all. This cant be true can it? Doesnt Rivatuner overclock Radeons so why would the R-9500 PRO be an exception here? Explanations please!

Some of the 9500/9700 aren't overclockable. Using rivatuner has no effect on these cards. But you can make these cards overclockable by flashing them with a cracked bios or with a bios from a manufacturer than left their 9500/9700 unlocked. Check out raged3d for specific information and files.

Try using a program called "Radeonator". I oc'ed my 9700 PRO from 325/310 to 355/335. Its a real simple program, and it hasn't messed anything up yet.
