Overclocking 9800 pro: what have you reached?

Hi, I'm about to overclock my 9800 pro but I don't want to go through the usual process of O/Cing. What have you guys managed to get up to in terms of memory/GPU speeds? Of course, the setting has to be stable 🙂 Please include what cooling solution you had, I'm currently using the Zalman ZM80C-HP heatsink with the optional fan, so a freon-cooled speed will probably be out of the question...

thanks in advance!
 
i had a his iceq excalibur 9800 pro (came with ramsinks and vga silencer) card went all the way up to 450 core 385 memory. 100 percent stable.
 
I maxed my Sapphire 9800 Pro (256bit) at 447/385 but running at 440/380 for safety reasons. It's perfectly stable running Half-Life 2 and Rome: Total War. I'm cooling my card with a VGA Silencer rev 3.
 
Dont know why, but i seem to have some really good memory on mine, sapphire 256 bit card with 128md get 437/409 stable. Have had it up to 445/415 on a cold day.... This is all using the original arctic cooling vga silencer and nothing else.
 
Not sure actually, but i have a feeling it was samsung, did check it when installing hs but that was a while ago, i might reseat my hs soon anyway, ill check when i do that.

What RAM-sinks does that card come with? I have the included aluminium sinks still installed. Might think about getting new ones. (if they fit under my VGA silencer that is..)
