Underclocking

[Noirel]

I was wondering if underclocking my Ati card could cause any damage to it, or make my system unstable, is an ATi X1900XT 512MB from Sapphire.

I know, why? I want to underclock it so I can use lower fan speeds and thus lower noise levels, for downloading overnight ofcourse.

Nope it will work fine.

why not undervolt it?

Why don't you just change the fan's speed?
ATitool.

You could always get a new cooler too.. most are silent.

it's ok

but dont make it TOO low.. my old 9800pro crashed at 21Mhz on the memory when atitool bugged when trying to find max mem

Well then it would heat up, and if you had read my post you would know that I am also doing that, because thats whats causing most, if not all of the noise. ATitools is great though.

Thanks for all your replies.

get a nice SILENT aftermarket cooler, most are virtually silent and will be a lot better at cooling
