yeah...my friend got one from there he said he got the core to like 280 and the mem to 260 or something like that

I just ordered one of those babies, hopefully it will get here by monday or tuesday. Does coolbits work on ATI as well?

no. Coolbits is strictly an nVidia thing. For ATI i believe powerstrip and RivaTuner are the preferred programs but I know there are others, maybe better, ones out there.
 
Ok it's Radeon Tweaker. RivaTuner's actually for nvidia as well. Sorry just got confused for a minute. Sorry about that, can't keep the names straight;)
 
Rivatuner. Tried some of the others and either had problems with the drivers (27.70) or did not have the functionality. If you are using one of the earlier drivers then I hear nvmax is a good one.

And "Welcome to the Forums".:D

Do remember when you push really hard that you are well beyond the designers specs and well........there is some risk involved.
