Overclock that 9700!

[Jayczar]

If you are one of the lucky ones to have the heatsink of your
9700 actually touching the GPU then good for you.
If you are not afraid of voiding the warranty on your $350
card then read here. Removing the "shim" from around the GPU
allows you to make contact with the chip to help cool it.
I was practically unable to overclock until I did this.

Enjoy!

I remember those days of Doom when you couldn't overclock anything.
You just enjoyed the game until 6 in the morning and had to go to work
after 2 hours of sleep.. Oh boy.. Was I young or what...

wait so even the radeon9700pro at factory settings wont be good enough for doom3?

It'll be good enough, but by overclocking it, you make it "even gooder!"
