Automatically OC Your Radeon

Extract the program to the install directory of your choice then run it.

Click max core first. The program will slowly overclock the core until the renderer gets artifacts, then it will slowly back it down (In .5-1MHz increments) until it finds a stable setting.

Repeat for max mem.

No more playing around for hours. :)

I love it.

    May I ask what your O/C maxed out at? :)

    I am going to try it tonight.

    Running it right now, but my early-revision 9700p came in at 356.40MHz on core.

    Still working on memory.

    //EDIT:

    Note that you DO want to run it for some time. Atleast 10-15 minutes for core, and again for memory.

    Only problem for me is that the ambient temps vary alot during the day. Maybe at night I have a cool ambient and it clocks higher but the next day when it's hotter, it locks up :-/

    my room is hot as hell and my core just maxed out at 385 on my 9700 pro (thats a 60 mhz oc!)

    What would it take for me to get 500mhz on the core of my 9800p? Is it the cooling thats holding it back, or do I need some sort of volt mod?

    I don't think 15 mins is long enough. Sometimes I got overclocks after what seemed like absolutely ages. Other times, it may just lock up...

    It locked up my system. It had found the max, at least it stopped going up so I moved my mouse and nothing would open then it locked.

    Same thing happened to me mmonnin. After it locked up, a min later it gave me an error.

    Can you manually set the program, to drop the overclock back a bit or go to default when you want to? Sounds like it might overclock it a hair too much in some cases.

    You can set global hotkeys.

    Excellent program.

    My 9700np maxed out at 373 Mhz core and mem at around 300 Mhz.
    That is almost a 100 Mhz OC on the core.
    The mem is crappy infineon.
    I noticed that it got into a loop OC'ing them mem.
    I have been running at approx. 300 Mhz for months.
    But this program tried 310 and then every speed setting produced errors.
    I went in manually and I am now testing at 300 Mhz without any problems.

    First off -- Overall I think it's a useful program. You can set clock speeds and test them in the same place. :clap:

    The "Find Max clock" is nice, but far from perfect. I let it run on my memory @ 371.25 MHz (the max it found) for 66 minutes without errors. As soon as I stopped it, and the image started rotating... bad news. Artifacts everywhere. I ended up backing down 5.71 MHz before the artifacts where gone totally. For the core, same story. I had to do it myself after it was finished giving me an idea.

    I plan on using this to measure how well my added cooling solutions (coming soon) work. Then, I test with VDDR and VGPU mods. Which, this program will make my life 100x easier, you just have to manually land the OC after it's finished.

    Great find :thumbsup:
