Awesome possum.
Have you done some tests yet? (3d Mark 05, Aquamark)

Still haven't picked up the heat sinks yet, no one around town has them....have to order them as well, I guess.

Not bad Pako. I've been using this version http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=35-186-110&DEPA=0 of the cooler, and the same card clocked at 450/378 (I usually clock it down abit for safety). I wouldn't mind trying some ram sinks either, but overall i'd really like to get it on a watercooled system. I haven't run 3dmark yet, but Aquarmark 3 scored it around 7,250.
I was also sorta thinking of doing a volt mod - http://www.fastlanehw.com/reviews.php?i=74&page=1 but I don't have the proper cooling to work with it. 520/390 would be nice though 👍

Some of those water cooling setups are really nice, especially if your going to do a volt mod. I've been down that road with a voodoo5500 and got burnt too bad on it...with my inexperience. A 450 core clock speed with my current setup seems impossible, how long can you run it at those speeds? I wonder what the norm is with this particular cooler is....

TaurineI could never get my 9800 Pro stable over 400mhz
What are you using to overclock Pako? I'm using ATITool.
Since I'm running a M@D TyT3 nVidia GeForce4 Integrated MX in my M@D TyT3 Compaq box, I'm not using anything.
My card won't even play Far Cry on its lowest setting.
Good luck upgrading further, Pako. 👍

I don't run it very long at 450. Usually I step both the memory and core down by 10.
