OC a 9800pro

Hey guys, with stock cooling what is a safe overclock?

I have the saphire 9800pro with samsun memory.

What program is a good program to use. I noticed that the Omega 2.2 drivers have radlinker. Thanks!

Each card is different and differences in case airflow and dynamics make it difficult to say what your safe ceiling may be.

I would give this program (http://atitool.ocfaq.com/) a try and perhaps place your finger on the memory and the backside of the core while this program is running. If the core or memory feels excessivly hot then back down.

If you decide on a new heatsink I highly recommend this
