Do you enable OverDrive?

I would, but for some reason the thermal sesnor on my X850XT doesn't seem to want to work. It just gives a flat 20 degrees C readout no matter what is going on so I'm not quite sure of what clocks to run to. Also, my moniter is limiting me on what res i can run (really no higher than 1024x768 to keep refresh rates at 80) and I can get fine fram rates at that res in pretty much anything i run with all the eye candy i can run (SM2 limited)
 
I did, and it works like a charm. I was (at first) leery of loading CCC into my computer - coming from a 7800GT and (typically) nVidia's more stable drivers. So I originally went into this vid card upgrade thinking I was going to stay with CCC and not load in ATT.

Well, I learned to use DCPro when I swapped back and forth from a 9800Pro to an X850Pro and back again. Once I was back into a 9800Pro w/CCC and used Driver Cleaner, it ran pretty damn smoothly.

ATI Overdrive will automatically work your vid card steadily higher until it sees artifacts, and then recommend a speed for your card. It also will apply these higher clocks during 3D applications. Without it enabled, it would run my X1900XT at 500/580. During auto clock, it pushed my card up to 700 (artifacts at 698) and made the HSF exhaust feel like a heat gun (87deg C). I run the card at 648/720 and it's perfectly fine and stable (w/BF2, GRAW, and Oblivion).

I use it because every other program I try (Ati Tool, ATI Tray, Riva Tuner) EIther crashes or just flat out does not work.
 
Yes, but i don't really use it.

For whatever reasons (i haven't been able to figure out), i basically cannot OC my X1900XT more than a few MHz :

ATi Tool completely screws things up, & Overdrive doesn't go more than a tiny bit w/o artifacting :\
