M6810 OC'ing the 9600 Mobility

Thread Starter 
Greetings,

I am a fairly new owner of the M6810. I decided to try overclocking the Videocard. I downloaded the latest Catalyst 6.10 (i think). I then proceeded to download AtiTool and try to overclock the card. Once i started Atitool the display stated my speed was 84.81 & 57.83. This sounds a little low to me but i am not sure. Also trying to nudge the speeds faster even by a small amount like 5 or so would result in an instantaneous death to the video and required a reboot via holding the power button.

I think i am doing something wrong here, can anyone fill me in?

What are the stock speeds of the 9600M in this notebook?

What speeds have owners attained, assuming this card can be OC'd?

Thanks a lot much appreciated.

I really would recommend not to overclock the video card unless you are trying to break a score on a benchmark. Extra FPS isn't worth a fried video card. I remember playing all of Doom 3 OC'd, i was pretty lucky i got through that unscathed. If you're sticking with the stock gpu and vram cooling, good luck.

On my m6805 the stock VPU speeds are 299 GPU and 199 memory. I have been overclocking mine pretty much since I got it. I run mine at 370 gpu 210 memory. I experimented with overclocking the CPU but that did not work very well at all. I do not recommend it since this motherboard does not lock the AGP frequency.

Yes, don't do it! This motherboard gets hot enough, and the graphics memory gets unstable and ruined very easily.

You can get away with overclocking the core of the graphics chip, memory is not going to overclock much so it really is not worth it. But the core you can probably get 50-100 mhz on it no problem.
