EEK! Scariest and Ugliest 9800 PRO Overclock Mod I've seen
PPPMail's 9800 PRO Overclocking "Guide"

This is one of the pictures that made me go "wtf"



For the love of God, that's way too much AS5~..WAY TOO MUCH



This itself is just scary.. And his overall results from it all was not worth it at all~

Overclocking should have some finesse in it..

What a freaking hack-job. He used pencil erasers for bushings- (retarded) then instead of using a dremel to create an indentation in the heatsink for the shim to ride in, he does some idiotic thing with a piece of metal from the video card bracket!?!? WTF?


Half the site doesn't work anymore anyway- I get DNS errors...


edit- correction
none of that site works anymore

lol.... yes... using an addition metal not to mention (coated) braket off another video card... with quadruple the ammount of thermal needed.... (2 places applied for super thickness)..... um... heat pretty well defeated everything he was trying to do! sad.......... He's probably getting super nailed..

I tell you one thing - there's no way i'd let that abomination anywhere near my pc. Looks so hazardous it's untrue... what was the point? He'll leave his pc running one day, nip out for a bit, come back and find his house burnt to the ground.

Temperature swing
I like the part where he says he gets the core below 0 degrees, then back up to 100 during "testing!"

I give him a coupla weeks until his PCB traces are so corroded they don't conduct signals anymore. . .

Bwhwhahahaha I couldn't stop laughing at his "conclusion" where he says he got it up to XT speeds... Funny thing is it was R350 Core..those oc better than R360's and average r360 can hit 415/375 stock lol.. I laughed when I saw the condensation on his fridge cooler...YA THAT'S GOOD FOR YER CARD! But he has a gasket on the GPU so it's safe!

Hoho~

He believes the voltage of the GPU affects how the memory speed will overclock.. What happened to the memory voltage? I wonder where he learnt how to volt mod.
