Conclusion
 

 

I ran 3D mark 05 and after a bit I jumped back to the temp monitor. I was pleased to see a temp of only 46 C. I touched the ram sinks and could feel that they were a little warm. That is a good sign that they are doing there job of removing the heat from the ram chips. I then fired up ATI tool to check for artifacts. I ran the check for over 15 min and found nothing. I did notice the temp of the card going close to 50C at this point. Obviously ATI tool stresses the card quite a bit. So I bumped up the fan speed on my radiator and it slowly dropped back to about 47 C. 

It was now time to see if I netted a better OC. The max this card has ever seen is 415/815.

I kept pushing the ram while leaving the artifact tool running. I got it all the way up to 880 on the ram.I figured this was far enough for now.  I would really like to see this reach a  900 MHz memory clock.  I then pushed the GPU up to 425.
