How far can I overclock my Sapphire Radeon 9800 PRO 256-bit 128MB card but still not detract from it's long term lifespan? This is with the stock Sapphire heatsink/fan.
Overclocking my 9800 PRO

Without any extra cooling I'd say no overclock at all.
The card is way too hot with stock cooling.

Use ATi Tool, it gives a pretty good idea with its artifact checker/overclocker

I tryed the ati tool a while back, over clocked my card to 600mhz (9600XT) which it said was alright, as soon as i turned on 3d mark tho it got mad artifacts, haven't trusted it since
Could some people that have overclocked their 9800 PRO with stock cooling please post their frequencies?
My 9800 Pro is not overclocked and it has a VGA silencer and 13 extra heatsinks I put on the ram andother chips. It runs cool. I can overclock it and get a nice 3dmark03 score. Games however run no faster when overclocked so there is no point in doing it.
Frequency I get easily is 412 mhz core and 365 mhz ram.
