well wit hmu core @360 some tests in 3dmark 2003 artefact liek craz..especially batlle fo proxycon...so i think ill abondon my o/c attempts until i deshim the radeon.

Deshiming it? Does it really give a difference?

[chisholm]

yes..de-shimg aloows the heatsink to make proper contact with the core...most ppl report quite an increase in core overlocking after a de-shim. Bcos the shim tends to be a little on the thick side it often prevents teh cooler form contacting properly.
