ram on 9600pro

[stealth_blade]

i was checking the ram chips on my sapphire radeon 9600pro, to determine overclockability, and came across a brand im not familar with

EtronTech the modules are rated a 2.8ns, so is anyone familiar with this ram?

Crappy cheap brand, probably won't reach what's it's rated for, expect around 330mhz.

well, thanks for letting me know anyways, and i had another question, what exactly constitutes "snow" when looking for overheating when you oc your videocard

ive noticed that i sometimes see white pixels along the edges of textures, say where the wall meets the floor

Smoke? or Smell of burning silicon?

Entrontech memory is not terrible (beter than the samsung 3.3ns sutff), but it's not a great overclocker compared to the Samsung 2.86ns stuff.

YEah I wouldn't expect much more than 330-340 out of it. Could get more but most reviewers found less. Most of the Samsung 2.86 memory will reach 350 easy.

Actually for me the OPPOSITE happens.

I get snow when ram is clocked too high (above 370mhz) and usually in the Audio tests & wings of fury of 3Dmk0;, and I get corruption and crashes with the core above 540mhz, usually in battle of Proxy (like a kalidascope).

OF course that's with my card and maybe the R9800s are different in that respect than the R9600Pros, but I don't know why. I call them blackflies as the snow is black in the tests.

You guys see snow? I never see snow, for mine it's either work, or Freeze and computer resets.
