I freaking love ICD7

how lovely? take pics please!

1150 on the memory started turning up artifacts in FurMark, so I dialed it down to 1100.

I can furmark for hours at 850/1100, but in actual games it doesn't take long for the driver to crash (after which it recovers). First time I've ever ran into this sort of issue while overclocking a card.

I use 800/1300 clocks for gaming now for months without problems

Can someone tell me how to start amd overdrive and give me the download link vecause from ati site there is only download for desktop. Where can I get mobile download?

Overdrive is part of CCC. You need to use a vBIOS with it enabled to see the tab in CCC.

lol, people that dont even know how to search i nthe web should quit trying to overclock an vga card xD, btw icd7 is THA thing

Liquid Nitrogen, people set records that way.

Don't tell me I'm wrong when you have no idea what you're talking about. There are 2 obstacles to overcome in overclocking: stability and thermal. A majority of people run into stability issues on stock voltages before they run into thermal issues. Those of us who can't OC our 5870's to 900/1200 aren't starting fires in the process. It has little to do with heat and everything to do with chip stability at those frequencies and voltages. More stable chips can handle higher frequencies, and given a little more voltage can handle quite a bit more frequencies without crashing. Once you've started uping your voltages, you can probably start worrying about the thermal limits of your chip.
