Thread Starter 
the latest version of ATI drivers give temp and everything. average temp is 40 degrees Celcius (that's what it says).
Graphics Processor:
Default: 540
Overclocked (my setting): 585
Graphics Memory:
Default: 587
Overclocked (my setting): 605

Anything higher (as in like 10 MHz higher), it froze and restarted the computer during 3dMark05/3dMark03 testings.

i uninstalled the drivers that AW came with, and instaled the latest drivers (the one u see right now).

WOW, that's on air too? that's "BRILLIANT!!!" <just saw the guiness commercial on tv>

I guess you figured out how to OC the cpu, just make sure you don't bump up the volts too much, b/c heat is the enemy

Did you mess w/ your multiplyer and FSB? b/c some mb's have a "dynamic" OCing abilities where it's OCing at a push of a button

again very nice OC n score

btw try testing out aquamark, it's more cpu intensive and tests like framerates

you can get it @ www.guru3d.com
