There are 3 sets of sliders in ATI Tool for 2D, 3D Low, and 3D Perf, so should I OC the same for all of them or only oc 3D Perf, or what? Also what are the average OC's for this card? I just want some light oc'ing, don't want to kill this card.

if you have temp problems, only overclock the performance 3D, if your temps are fime, do all 3. I have the 7600GT(same core, different ram) and without a vmod, i got around 640Mhz and with a vmod i got to 730Mhz...i wouldnt know about the ram tho

You're mainly concerned with Perf 3D, some people like linking the sliders when oc'ing. Mainly if your card has issues switching modes.
IDK what kind of clocks to expect for your card, sry

Good Luck, go slow, watch your temps.

For games just OC in 3d Perf... the other is not nesesary

 

[Boris4ka]

Ok, I'll try out 3D Perf only for now. Thanks, I was asking because my old x300se only had 1 set of sliders. rep+ to all.

Oh and also my temps go to 75C at load, and are at 55-58C at idle, so am I fine to OC?

thats a tad high, but as long as your not voltmodding, you are fine

Boris, which Dell model do you have?
I think some serious cooling mods are in order

 

[Boris4ka]

Ok thanks. Btw it's passively cooled with a case fan blowing on it from the side.

It's a Dimension 4700.

Oh tough case to mod. You need to get the hot air out of the case.
Is the CPU passive or does it have the shroud with the fan?

lol look one post above yours, it's passive, but I have a side window with an 80mm fan blowing at it.

Oh wait sorry I thought you said GPU, the CPU has a passive heatsink with an intake fan mounted where the exhaust is in normal cases in the back, with a shroud going to the cpu.

Ditch the shroud, zip-tie a 92mm fan to the the HS and get a higher CFM exhaust fan. Turn the fan around so it's exhausting once you zip a fan to the HS.
Also look at getting another intake fan other then the 80mm.
Did you mod the side panel?

I'm trying to keep the case as quiet as possible, but if I can get my hands on some fans I'll try that. And yes the side panel is window modded. Here's some pics: http://www.overclock.net/gallery/sho...0/ppuser/20922 Actually those 2 pics of inside the case are with my old gfx card and ram.

Hmm quiet, lol you have a Prescott and a passively cooled GFX.
You need some cooling my friend.
Seriously, I would lose the shroud, turn the fan around so it exhausts and zip a quiet 80mm to the HS, no 92mm if you want less noise.

 

[dskina]

I think I have the same card(s). Yea, keep that fan pointed at it, or consider opening the case and placing a desk fan near it.

Try these settings

2D-500
3d low-500
3d High-600
and memory at 300 all the way across.

That is the max I could get mine without Vmodding. Mine runs at 39 idle and about 47 under load. My monster of a CPU cooler also blows on the back of my GPU and I have a small exhaust fan under it but thats the only other cooling I have for it. You'll def. need better cooling though.

But memory is 350 stock, why would you want to lower it? And I can't get the core past 550, it artifacts and a few seconds later freezes, but doesn't get above 80C.

550 is too high then, cores at it's max with the supplied voltage or your PSU is insufficient.
