I just repaired an Asus 5770 given to me, blew some caps. Whenever I get a new system I will put it in this system and keep the 6850. I have somebody that I may give this system to and they just do solitaire, e-mail, Facebook (no games) and a little web surfing. I once had an Asus 5770 in this and it died last year, my sis bought me the 6850 for my birthday. I ran onboard for a week, that really sucked.
EDIT:
Just overclocked my brown box 6850 for the first time. I gained 1 to 2 FPS depending on the settings for the benchmarks. Its defaults are 775/1000. I took it to the max of 850/1200 and it locked up. I backed down to 850/1150 and it was better, but got a few artifacts. Running at 825/1125 it is stable. Odd thing, I see no temperature change.
