8800GTS Overclocking issue!

Got myself a spanking new Palit 8800GTS and have had it installed for a few days so thought I'd give it a go at overclocking it. Tried nTune and it was being very weird so I dumped that and decided to go for the second worst choice ATI Tool v 0.26 which apparently works with the new cards.

So I am playing with the clock speeds and I decide after finding out that my core will not go over 636Mhz without having a major lockup that I would see how my RAM would behave. So I do the good 'ol find max memory clock and watch it for a while, gets to 2000Mhz, I'm thinking great this is good, then a few mins later it's still going and I'm watching the clock speed climb, and climb, and climb. I eventually bottled it at 1246MHz (Nearly 2500MHz!) is ATI Tool at fault or did I get the best RAM in the world.

Any feedback would be appreciated :)
 
tbh just because ATi tool says your ram can handle it I wouldnt be too trusting, run afew loops on 3d06 and im sure it'll show you whats what.
 
Yeah thats the issue, I don't trust ATI whatsoever, I am currently trying to get my system stable with higher CPU speed to try and stop the bottleneck that is being caused.

I'll run Rivatuner see what that comes up with
