Ati tray tools telling me overclocking is disabled..?

[snow patrol]

I'm trying to overclock with att but i can't. When i go to the overclocking tab it has a line saying 'overclocking disabled'. It lets me change the sliders but when i apply it just goes back to default. When i installed, i definitely didn't check the 'disable overclocking' box! I've tried reinstalling as well as disabling overdrive in the ati control panel. I'm not using CCC btw. Any ideas?

interesting, thanks. i only started using ati tray tools because the 'how to overclock your 1900' thread recommended it.

OK, so if i turn off auto overclock in the control panel, is it definitely fine to run high speed clocks for both 2d and 3d? thanks

ok, another question. I've set the clocks in ati tool, saved them etc. But when i right click on the desktop, go to properties, advanced, ati overdrive - it shows the current core speed as 499mhz (ie the 2d speed). I have disabled the ati poller service and disabled overdrive. Should i just ignore the 499 figure?

thanks very much for the replies and help btw.

i ran the source stress test and the fps went up a tad. Although raising the mem and core by about 40mhz each yeilded only a 6fps increase. Still, i guess that means it's working. I'm giong back to stock for now though.

So it's definitely fine to run 3d clocks all day? I'm on water and have a 120mm fan over the memory.
