Sapphire HD 4850 + Intel 8400 helpp!! overclocking ati overdrive

[xchopstickzx]

hi people i am currently running a Sapphire HD 4850 on a Intel 8400 (3.0ghz) and wonder if i should change the fan speed of the video card etc with Ati Overdrive.All the equipment is stock.

The current configuration i think is

Fan Speed 28%
Temperature 50C
GPU Clock:500 mhz
Memory Clock 993 mhz

And ati overdrive is disabled.
I am also using a Gigabyte (EP45-UD3LR) motherboard with Easy Tune

can you guys help me out?

Thanksss

i actually have no idea... because when i open ati overdrive in the current values its written

GPU Clock:500 Mhz
Memory Clock:993Mhz

but on easy tune its written

Core:625 MHz
Memory:993
i want to overclock it a bit but keeping it safe.if you can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

thxxx

i tried changing the gpu clock and memory clock but as much as i change nothing changes in the current values in ati overdrive its like nothing happens.

Even without overclocking i recomend having fan speed at 65% (best non loud speed as far as i know since i had that card, now i have it on aftermarket cooling),
but anywya on load with about 80%+ activity it will have to go to 100% anyway.
i dont recomend OC it at all, simply since the diffrence ull get is minimum for the warranty VOID risk (on stock cooling u should not push it over 650/1050 and that will me mayb 1-2 fps anyway in high demant games like crysis or stalker CS, where in other games u should get always high FPS)

Dont forget 1 thing, OC is when u either just love the OC world or u want extra speed for something, out of that is a total waste of both safeness and Energy consumption, dont forget u can OC when new games come out that will be more demanding and also the drivers/oc info or programs will be out, so my recoemndation, if you dont need, dont oc.

I have asus eah 4850 and it isnt need oc. On this card i play all games @ max(exept crysis). Why do you need oc if this card still have a potensial.
P.s fan speed always @ 60%, 100% it is very loud for my.
P.p.s with new bios it clocs on 2d mode are very low but on 3d clocks are nrml.
P.p.p.s you can oc you cpu to 3.6 ghz on stoc.
Hard p.s i done it yestarday
