overclocking and stability?

[bloodthirst]

well im on the verge or purchasing my new graphics card ( ati radeon 9800xt pro)

the core clock speed is 500mhz when i get it im going to give it a hefty overclock and if the voltage remains the same, temperature wise will it increase and also in regards to it crashing in games how safe am i?

Well you should overclock it in small increments until you find the maximum stable OC.

Heta will be a factor, but you keep working on the OC will you find a happy place!

Yeah Joshua is 5 but he plays Quake 3 Arena like a mofo. Thats a nice find, but like you said its 128 instead of 256. That should still pump out some reasonable FPS for ya
