list me other specs..what processor..etc

just use the slidebar on the CCC move it to the rightest >>>
good luck
but first u need to click on the unlock button in CCC (go to ati overdrive) theres a key button there

do not forget rivatuner, that is to properly cool it.

works like a charm, you just got to unlock it in ccc and alow for manual fan speed control.

just a note, gpu temps at around 80 is not a problem for ati cards, they are meant to run that hot
use gpuz or ccc to monitor your temps
