I just traded in my Sapphire 9700 Pro for a 9800 Pro, free of charge, lovely NewEgg.com. Anyway, what are you guys setting the clockrates to?

Anything I should know before OCing this?
 
is it a r350 or r360 core? some programs lie about it, to find out you might have to look at the core itsself. r350 = 9800pro, r360 = 9800xt in disguise.
 
Theres no way im taking the heat sink off the video card, so you can forget that.. Its most likely a 350...
 
The stock heatsink is pretty weak. You might not get a very good overclock using it and most certain the core will be pretty hot if you do overclock using it.
 
if you too scared to remove the heatsink then overclockig isnt for you... if you ask me...

Expect about 425/360 but you better has come air flowing on that card.....
 
shim removal ins't adviceable... Shim really protects the weak ati core well.

Ive chosen to mill/file the edged of the coler... Now the ati core has direct contact with the cooler plus the shim is microts away from the cooler :) There to catch any bad forces!
