I know this is probably pointless to try, but I've managed to fit a zalman cooler to my HD3850 and I'm tempted to overclock it! Av. gpu temp now is about 45-50deg (never more than 60 under load). My question is can you safely overclock it without getting the artifacts/crashing etc.?
I have ATI Tray Tools and it will let me change the voltage from 1.214 to 1.254, and I read elsewhere that if you change that you can get a higher stable overclock? I just wondered if anyone had done this and if so what clock speeds did you manage to go up to?
I suppose it's not worth doing if you only get a few fps extra but in some situations 3-4 fps can help boost smoothness. My cpu is an old P4 3ghz, so again I know it's bottlenecked and probably pointless, but it's actually not bad for older games. Just tryin to squeeze the last bit of life out of it lol! Thx
