Fx 5600

Okay i got a Fx5600 128mb, its a Pandex VC-FX5600XT-128, and im wondering how fast can i oc it safely cuz it has no Temperature cencor for heat so i have no clue if it gets to hot or whatnot so if anyone could tell me some good settings thanks

You can realisticly expece around 10% oc out of your card. I've got my 5600 256ddr @ 359/440 atm. It has safely done 366/446 w/o artifacts before... but I backed off a little bit to ensure I wouldn't overheat my card.

A good sign of overheating is seeing artifacts in your games/benchmark apps. White dots (snow) is a result of your gpu core getting too hot. If you start noticing tearing and blocky shapes appearing/disappearing from apps, then your ram is oc'ed too high.

This is where I have my BFG FX 5600 set, and I had a little room left...

I have a winfast a310(fx 5600 256mb)
Using coolbits I can OC mine to 360/620.Stock is 324/501.

Running my fx5600@ 380/600 Asus made. No pro, no nothing fancy.
