Default ATI TOOL help

I just downloaded ati tool and I was wondering how long I need to let it run when finding the max core and memory speed. Also once it has ran for about 5 minutes the speed starts to decrease. Advice please?!?!

If speeds start to decrease, it means ATI Tool is finding an instability...

Most often it is best to just let it run for a couple hrs.

I have noticed on my 9600 non-pro that the speeds increase for the first two hrs, then the speeds start to trail off for an hour, then they start to increase again.

ATI Tool performs MANY iterations, just trying different clocks until something doesnt work right.

Have you upgraded to the latest Catalyst or Omega drivers? I've gotten better OC'd with the omegas, and the newest catalysts (beta's) were giving me some CRAZY problems.

I have the latest catalyst drivers but i can't find the Omegas on ATI's website. Where is the best place to get those. Some websites show them but i don't know if they are the right ones for me. Thanks for the help before i left it on for like 15 minutes.
