** ATi X1k/HD 3k series overclocking guide - ATi Tray Tools and ATi Tool + FAQ **

I'm really stuck with my test setup here. I've just installed a Sapphire XT Master and a MSI XTX Slave and enabled crossfire. So far so good - but I cannot get any software to overclock these cards let alone work out what speeds they are running at!

I've installed Win XP Pro SP2, the 6.2 cats. I have tried ATI Tool and Tray tools so far both fail to operate correctly.

It looks as if my card(s) are running at a massively reduced speed for some reason?

Someone hasn't read the thread properly ;)

Disable the two ATI services for starters.

Then, in ATITool, set the core voltage to 1.4v.

Then, set the clocks to default and start clocking from there.


The cards start off in '2D mode' where the clockspeed and voltage is at a lower level. You need to force them to 3D clockspeeds and 3D voltage before starting to overclock.

To use ATI Tray Tools, you'll need to disable the overclocking option, otherwise it won't start properly. Use ATITool for clocks.

Why not?

I'm running 1.575 through mine 24/7, and I want more core voltage!

I figure it's safe to 1.65v.

Well if you go to 1.65 I'll go to 1.575 muhahaha :)

Actually does anyone know what temps their voltage regulators get up to under load, it should say in ATI Tool. I will post mine once I get back from work.
 
Nice clocks guys.. some useful info in here :)

I'm waiting for the new AC X2 or Zalman gpu coolers to come out.. then I'll join in the fun :D
 
Still cant get anywhere :( I must be doing it wrong still I guess?

I've disabled the two services, installed both programs and re-enabled services. I then rebooted. It hasnt made any difference?

This doesnt make any sense to me though :-

Disable services - Start --> Run --> services.msc **BE CAREFUL**

I disabled the two ATI services, then installed the software. Then it says to disable both ATI services? Am I missing something?

You need to KEEP the services disabled.
 
About the most I can get on my single XT

Bah, god dammit!!!

Can someone run at there 24/7 overclocked 3D clocks and then leave ATi Tool Running the artifact tester.

Stock cooling, but others can join in.

I cant seem to pass 675/805 @ 1.425/2.101V, even with it not passing 62C, the screen just goes blank and locks the PC :(

Cheers Conc
 
god dam this card!!!

I just cannot get it to clock past 650/775 :mad:

Even if I keep it at 60C, it still will randomly lock at 666/775, 660/775, 650/800. WTF! :mad:

It can do near 800/900 if I get it cool enough with 1.575/2.2V but it can only pass 2005 once :/ if I game at 1.45V/2.1V @ 675/800 it locks/blankscreen.

BAH!!!

At 650/775 at stock V im at 69C now and its fine :/

Any ideas? Cos im out :/

690/800 on stock volts using CCC :D Cant get ATT or ATI tool to work correctly yet(although i may once i read this thread properly)
I also have the 1.1ns memory on my card :D

Are you raising the VGPU to 1.4v before you raise the clocks?
