Overclocking Radeon 8500

[E3Art]

I realize this has probably already been covered but i didnt come up with much in the search...

I just bought the OEM version of the Radeon 8500. I would like to overclock it to the retail speed but im unsure of how to go about it, any help would be appreciated.



I'd also like to say thanks to everyone, I come here all the time for advice and so far i havent been pointed in the wrong direction Anandtech rocks

You can download powerstrip (sorry don't know the link) which can change the core and memory speeds of your card. You can also flash the bios of your card if your memory is at least 3.6ns memory and not above. Here are the links for that:
