    This should belong in the Benchmark section.

        How do you do.

        My Parhelia's 3DMark03 score is 903.

        I changed Parhelia's cooling fan.
        But, it works correctly while its core clock is at ~220MHz.

        How much could everyone overclock Parhelia?

          Hi Kuriton welcome

          I also changed the fan.
          Look here:


          I can sometimes overclock to core 245MHz, memory 655MHz.
          But only when the weather is cold enough

          My 3DMark03 score is 1025 (242/650).

            Hi WyWyWyWy.

            You are great!

            I was surprised at the picture that you told me.

            I can't attach memory heatsink because GPU heatsink is too big!

              Yours is also very good!!
              What do you use to attach the heatsink to GPU?

                Hi.

                I used two screws when I attched the heatsink.

                I bought the heatsink at a bargain counter.
                The heatsink cost $8.5.
                It originally supports Pentium4 series, but, It had so many fins that I could attached by some screws.

                This original cooling system's special feature is that because we used some screws, we can remove the heatsink after attaching.

                Thanks.

                  i have a question, when all you people overclock, do you actually notice a difference other than in benchmark programs? i think generally you would be better off just buying better components rather than spending money on cooling to improve inferior products.

                    I think that the general idea is not about getting the fastest components but more about the challenge of seeing how far you can push your current hardware.

                      Hello.

                      i have a question, when all you people overclock, do you actually notice a difference other than in benchmark programs? i think generally you would be better off just buying better components rather than spending money on cooling to improve inferior products.

                      We, overclockers, use benchmark programs as one of how to compare video card performances.
                      But I don't look into only benchmark result.
                      I bought Parhelia because I liked the sharp displaying that had.
                      So I needed not other cards but Parhelia.

                      In short, I want a more 3D performance with the sharpness like Parhelia has.

                      So I spent money to cool Parhelia to raise performance.
                      Of course, I know wasting money is pointless, and I'd like to spend money as low as possible.

                      And else why I bought Parhelia is I thought no other video cards can display clearer than Parhelia.

                        i bought parhelia because of its quality and triple head was a must for me afetr seeing it in action, i can get this feature no where else though if ati sold a triple head 9800 my parhelia would be for sale tomorrow, i overclock it to get the best triple head performance possible, for the record i have an oem with a zalman heatpipe on it and coolermaster ramsinks and a silent fan blowing over it all, i can oc to 230/620 in ut2003 but for some reason my favourite game operation flashpoint will only allow me to clock to 224 without a freeze, must use different pipelines or more of the chip that ut2003. faa and aniso always on of course
                        is a flower best picked in it's prime or greater withered away by time?
                        Talk about a dream, try to make it real.

                          Yes overclocking is just a challenge.
                          I don't usually overclock my Parhelia (expensive!), no point to.

                          I totally agree with Kuriton and Borat, but my need is 2 crt + tv instead of vanilla triple-head.

                          By the way, overclocking is actually a fun hobby Same with modding too. I'm looking to go the watercooling route shortly After I win some lottery.
