How to overclock my x850xt agp to PE speeds?

[trogdor07]

Okay so anyone know the steps to overclocking the Ati x850xt agp card to the platinum edition speeds? Oh and if so, is the stock cooler enough to keep the temps down? Please let me know.

The stock cooler is dual slot, right? In that case, it's the exact same cooler as the PE, so it should be enough. To overclock, simply download a program like Ati Tool or Ati Tray Tools. Using one of the programs, find the max gpu core speed before it artifacts/crashes. Then bring the core down to default, and find the max stable mem speed. After you've determined the max for both gpu and mem (the program will find the max for you), overclock both parts and test for artifacts. From my own experience, the highest stable OC speed is usually 10-20 mhz slower than what the program determines as the max, so start there and tweak it until you find a stable OC.
