Overclocking x1900xt to to xt-x

[Phil2008]

how do I do this????

The default speeds are not anywhere near right, cos the memory speed is ment to be 1.45gh and gpu is ment to be 625MHz, so whats going wrong guys?? at the so called defualt speeds 3dmark 05 is 11k

Also on my HIS ATI Radeon X1900 XT ICEQ 3 SILENT Heatpipe 512MB the fan is ment to have a blue light???...well there no lights on my card

There's no blue lights on the card, it has a UV sensitive cover though.

Also - might be worth reading about the differences between 2D and 3D clocks, as "omg my clocks are wrong?!" has been done to death about 10000 times.

I know theres 2 clocks for 2d and 3d but the info for the 3d says the cocks are 500/594???

 

[Phil2008]

Sigh... your in 2d mode looking at the ccc so your clocks are at low(2d speed) 500/594
The higher requested speed u also see in ccc is your 3d clocks

Ah right.. Well how do I get the mem to overclock to 1.55ghz,, cos it will only go to 800 on the slider???

Soz for being dumb before guys.. overclocked to the xt-X I get 11446 with 3dmark 05. Does that sound about right with a [email protected]??

 

[Phil2008]

yep thats around what i get at stock

when I did it at stock speeds it was still 11 something, but cant remember the something

changing the subject

my temps for my cpu has droped loads since ive had it, and I havent touch the heatsink and fan all, just to get the dust out.

First of all it was idleing at 45c, then I installed a fan on the side of my wavemaster to get the temps of my sli 6800gts down, and drilled holes in the side for the fan to draw air in. That brought the temp down to 38 - 41c

Then I upgraded to the black wavemaster, and cut a hole out for the fan at the side, that brought the cpu down to 34 - 38c.

Then with this new card, its brought the temps down to 28 - 30 idel.......Mental hey??? and people say wavemaster cases are rubbish for air flow???

It also uses 60watts less power then my 2 6800GTs
