Noob here. Just picked up an ATI 9600 XT. Nice card, impressed so far. Just curious what you guys and gals are setting your clock and ram speeds for on this card. I've installed radlinker, and have set some around 580/332 with the standard heatsink/fan combo. Temps were around 41C. Also, what temps are acceptable?

Thanks in advance!!!!
 
On my Built by ATI 9600xt, I can push max about 575/350(700) with my temps ~32C under load.... This is running opencase in a basement where the ambient is <45F though, so take someone elses word on temps ;p
 
I can't vouch for the temps either, but see my sig for my max clock.

I did a vmod for the mem to get it up to 2.85v from 2.5 (the samsung memory I have is rated for 2.9v), this got me a 730Mhz ddr rate...which made a very noticeable difference over the stock which was 650ddr.

core is usually run at 575 because I haven't put a better hsf on it, just as3 on the stock. I can max it out at a little over 600 and play DF: BHD and Team Sabre for hours with no artifacts.
 
Using ATI Tool, 0.0.17, i used the "Find Max Core" utility, and was monitoring the temp, it would hit around 47C, with an open case. It has a little thermometer above it and it was still low and in the blue area, so I'm assuming it's not too hot.

Just worried about letting the smoke out...

Thanks for the replys.
 
i have done 630/320

just out of curiosity what program do u guys use to monitor the temps on your card?

i also have an ATI 9600xt.
 
If you go into advanced properties, and go to the overdrive tab (but don't enable), it has a tempurature display right there..... not sure how accurate it is, but it at least gives me a point of reference.

Still have time to take it back, thinking of doing the 9800 Pro, but I need to get a new power supply... whaddaya all think?

I do Microsoft Flight Sim a lot... does anyone have a 9800 and run that program? If so, what kinda fps are you getting?

Thanks!
 
flight sims tend to be more cpu intensive than gpu due to all the physics and calculations involved. If you had a 9800p, I wouldn't worry about fps in just about any game...unless you jack up the res to the max of course.

yuh i noticed that, but i overclock 130mhz the core and it only goes u 2 degrees.

stock is 25C, 630 core is 27C

so i dont trust it all that much
