Hello to everyone at the OCforums, before I ask my question I would just like to state that everyone here has helped me a great deal with all of my problems/questions/overlclocking and concerns. Thank you, you are all very knowledgeable and I have learned tons.
On to the questioning..
I own an ATi Radeon 9700 Pro, awesome card and I love it. I was considering buying a new video card, but decided to wait and put one into my next rig I create. Also, after a lot of help with overclocking my CPU I finally want to enter the world of VGA overclocking. Here come the questions:
I recently purchased this fan:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835110123
It is the Jetart JACSH1 60mm VGA cooling kit.
Says it works for all nVIDIA and ATi cards, 3400rpm fan, and includes the fan, heatsink, 8 extra memory heatsinks, cable connector, thermal tape and thermal compound (already got my arctic silver 5 though ).
Anyway, I realize that there are ways that would prolly help upping the voltage but I am horrible when it comes to soldering (really shaky hands, don't ever be an alcoholic, but hey im 8 months sober). Anyway, without any volt mods, how should I go about overclocking this awesome card? Basically my questions are concerning the mounting of the fan and heatsink on the GPU, the RAM heatsink mounting, and best software method of doing this. Links would be appreciated but i would prefer just a good detailed explanation which would be highly appreciated and understood for the time.
When it comes to overclocking I was a newbie, but since going through the help here, I have recently gotten my p4 2.8c to 3.5 ghz on air cooling, and thats with 2 ddr400 mushkin sticks with mismatched timings if you'd believe it. (3-3-3, 3-3-2). That problem will be alievated shortly (purchased a dual pack of 2-2-2 mushkin XP, and have a xp-120 heatsync, but thats for another forum section).
Anyway, any help would greatly be appreciated and I hope to take on this project sometime this week, using arctic silver 5 for the paste (btw this may be a dumb question) is that good for gpus as well as cpus?
Thank you again in advanced and I await all the info im sure will come through.
