Some ppl say they managed to get like 440+ on their core with a 9800Pro. But when I run ATI Tool, I only manage to get a max of 408 (artifact free for 1 hr) and 357 for memory.

When I play CS Source, I will occassionally get these streaks appearing on my screen for half a second if I decide to go higher than 408/357. These seem to appear most frequently when I play on cs_italy.

Anyways, I have the green PCB MSI RX9800. I installed the VGA Silencer Rev3 w/ Arctic Silver 5. I have 4 OCZ Copper BGA Ramsinks on the front of the card and the stock aluminum heatspreader on the back of card. I leave my Silencer on High all the time, which is the down position.

So anything I can do? Or I just got a bad overclockign apple?
