Hi, I just registered to this forum because I have a question to ask. When i OC the core speed, I see very small yellow dots on the ATiTool Square but the program doesn't detect it, should I reduce the core speed or keep going until I see major artifacts that the program detects ? I'm currently OCed from 378 to 385.71 (wich is not alot).

Do you know if the fan is moving at full speed? How is the air flow in your case? is it cut off and hot?

Well I don't have a sensor on my card so I don't know, is there another way to know ? And the airflow in my case was really bad, my cpu overheated to 95 C in like 1 hour and a half so I opened the side and I put my house fan shooting air right into it, my temp for my CPU never goes beyond 47 when I'm playing games so there should't be a problem for the cooling. I did notice that my card gets really hot when I use the ''San for artifacts'' feature on ATiTool, but I guess thats because of the heat-up phases right ?

What did you overclock to when the problem started? And what is the stock speed of your card?

BFG 6800GT OC set to 400 x 1150. I am running XP PRO Pak 2, Pentium 4 3.4(overclocked to 3,825), 1 gig of kingston value ram DDR400 pc 3200, Asus P4P 800 Deluxe.

I am using coolbit and rival tuner to overclock, but when it goes to test it wil not let me go any higher. Is ther a way to get a round the test or unlock ?

Why will it not go through the test ?

Those speeds sound fine. When your card starts getting too hot, you'll see artifacts.

What program would you use to overclock the GPU in the Xbox? I have moded mine and i used the Slayer installer. I will look on Xbox sceen but if u can point me inanother direction that would be great. Im planing to put a phase change unit on the entire Xbox so heat will not be to big of and issue. I just have to worry about ram and the already overclocked celeron proccesor in the Xbox
