Anyone recall there X800XT overclock speeds?

It's not an x800xt but my x800gto2 unlocked to 16 pipes does 560/600 comfortably even with the crappy 1 slot cooler.
However your best bet is to use ATI Tool to up the core speed by 20 Mhz at a time then run the artifact scan. If its clean after a 15 minute run then up it again. Do this until it starts getting errors then back it down to the last stable level. Repeat with the memory clock.

this is the worst advice possibly given, x800's dont overclock that well, clock by 5mhz max at a time, when it reaches its max, go into bios and change the pci-e frequency to 105mhz, then clock again see if it gets better if it does try 110 mhz, clock again it might improve or get worse, if it improves do not go higher than 110mhz or u will wreck other parts in your system, i find the best to be 105 mhz, if your on agp well your on your own
My old X800 XT which was really a soft-modded X800 Pro with the extra pipes unlocked, would overclock to 520/560 (XTPE) speeds without a problem, but only after putting an AC VGA Silencer on it, which brought temps down by 15-20 degrees. I would expect a real XT to go higher, especially with a good cooler.

Admittedly I've got the PE version, but I volt modded the core on mine to around 1.58v, cooled by a maze4.
Clocks up to about 620mhz on the core, but not really tried any higher, the temps never get higher than about 40c either. I may try some more volts at some point, but doubt it's worth it.
Before the volt mods and the water cooling, it didn't clock that high at all, but that was on the original Asus cooler. The difference water cooling made was incredible, the current volt modded temps never exceed the old idle temps of the air cooler.
The memory is rubbish at clocking mind, I think I gained 15mhz stable at most out of it.

Rubbish. Upping the core by 20Mhz at a time will cause artifacts most likely and at worst you'l have to reboot the PC. Until you save profiles and set them to load on startup nothing is set in stone. Upping by 5Mhz at a time would take ages and is unnecesary. x800XT's only had poor memory overclocks as well, the core was good for quite a bit more.
