Interesting results :) My only issue would be that is it worth overclocking more? The CPU is noticeably weak. I wonder how it would do with a regular core duo at 2.2ghz or higher.

^ Still going :)
I think I'll go and find the max of this card then scale back to something reasonable like 500/425 or something for 24/7.

That low CPU clock is holding you back. Too bad you can't o/c the CPU in OEM systems (unless clockgen has support for your mobo's PLL).

I have mine at 590/490 and the temps never go above 70C but it's still a little unstable. I do a full run through 3DMark without any problems but playing a game like HL2 it usually gives me a message that the display driver recovered from an error or something after a while. But my temps are so low it seems like I should be able to do these clocks. I was thinking maybe it was because the voltage was too low, how can I higher it? I'm using ATiTool.
