I cannot break the 10k mark with my 8500 64MB Retail

I am currently running it at 295/295. I can't do 300/300 it'll crash...I was thinking about adding a card cooler to cool things down so then maybe I can overclock it some more...or should I get ram sinks instead?

My setup:
P4 1.6a @ 2.3ghz
256DDR PC2700 Samsung
Abit BD7II Raid
Built by ATI Retail 8500 64MB

Id tel lyou to put an ORB on the sucker, make some ramesinks, and put a 80 mm case fan blowing on the whole card. mabe then you will be able to do it.

Have you tried setting your memory to more agressive settings and at a higher FSB?

I would definately recommend putting ramsinks and a new cooler on that card. You could probably get 15mhz ore more on both your gpu and ram.
