Radeon 9500pro OCing

I am not having any trouble whatsoever overclocking my ATI card, but I am looking for a Utility that will allow me to push the core speed beyond 370. Default is 276/270, but Rage tweak and powerstrip only allow me to take it to about 370. I wonder because I can take it to that speed and I still get no artifacts with this Swifty block that I just bought. Seems kinda lame to not be able to at least try to push it to the limit 🙂 If anyone has any idea, let me know! Thanks guys

Make sure you bios is unlocked because even if you took it to those speed it might not stick. Try rebooting your comp and see if its still at that speed.
 
You can edit your max and min O/C settings in the Windows registry (these are calculated using a multiplier) for the Rage3d utility. Take a look for it, if you can't find it, I'll post it for you (too tired to look right now).

Using Powestrip just double-click the little icons under the core and mem speeds and change the values (default is 133) to whatever you want depending on how high you wanna go. I wish I could max out Pstrip's default max clock speed 🙁.
 
If you like the Rage3d tweaker (I do), you don't need any new utility. PM me and I can show you how to raise the max OC setting.
