What is that program that tests for maximum overclock...

Had it some time ago, you basically turn it on and let it run its course overnight or however you want it to, and it will find a maximum stable speed to overclock to. Would be handy for me to find a generally good setting and tweak from there! Thanks.
 
Systool. It can really find the ma overclock of your card better than coolbits.
 
well ati tool works but it bluescreened my computer out a few times, and apparently it pushed the card's fan to the limit. now the fan screeches loudly unless I throttle the fan speed down to 50%. guess that was a waste of time heh, time for a new fan =/
 
You could use rivatuner, and keep cranking it up until you find the highest setting that doesn't artifact in 3dmark05. It's a better real world test than coolbits or ATITool.
 
Push that thing. You should get 560/1250 as a minimum. Good memory may go over 1300. Extraordinary cores go over 600.

My 6600GT is detected as 560/1200 in coolbits. I can push it to almost 590/1400 but I get artifacting. I tried ATITool and it acted very weird (kept moving the clocks up and down overnight, it'd be like clocks up, artifacting, clocks down, no artifacting, clocks up, artifacting...etc.), so I'm happy with my (somewhat low) overclock.
 
1400 mem is insane. I can get 1296, above that Rivatuner says the test failed and won't let me go up. No artifacting at 560/1296. Most I've ever gotten is 575/1296, artifacts in 3dmark05, but not is CS:S Video Stress test. My temps stay below 70C, so I'm not sure why it artifacts. I might upgrade my cooling (I have the old style MSI cooler) and see if I can increase my RAM. I probably won't get any more core without a volt mod I guess.
