Overclocking a XTASY RADEON X800 128MB -- safe temperatures?

[LordSnailz]

Just got my setup running last night ... oc'ing the video card is next

Any suggestions on what's the best approach to oc the card? I'm using atitool but it seems like it'll just up the mem core and the card breaks?

What's a good temperature to keep the card?

thanks in adv!

hey i keep my x800gt under 60 C (by keeping it at stock and 100% fan speed). i would recoomend lower than 60 or max 70.

Thanks -- I had the atitool run to find max speed and it kept on going, it went over 61C and held there for while. I wasn't sure if that was a safe temp. so I just aborted.

60C is nothing to worry about. I'd try to keep it under 70C, but even 70-80 is not too bad.

u should be able to get about 450mhz on the core and 850 on the mem without breaking a sweat. with an aftermarket cooler and a volt mod i had my old MSI RX800 (same thing as urs, DDR1 RAM and all) runnin at a smooth 485/980. Basically runnin a x800pro. they arnt bad little cards for the price and waaay outperform anything close to em (6600gt)
