Hello (Windows 7)
ATI Radeon Sapphire HD 3650 AGP 512MB DDR2/3(2008).
Ok I bought this card(10€) and found out it is very slow and today when late AGP card prices are big because of bootleggers on Ebay. I'm trying to professionally air cool(=no ugly quick fixes 😊 ) and tune it to max. So what max. tuning specs. MHz can I expect from this card ? I myself have no previous tuning experience.
I used ATI Overdrive auto tune: ( Came with driver's package )
GPU clock
725 ->750MHz(max)
Memory Clock
400 ->500MHz(max)
It auto adjusted to:
GPU= 730MHz
MEM= 480MHz
+ Temperature raised from 40*C to 50*C on stock aluminium cooler with 50mm fan.
When fitting a better custom copper heat sinks, large fan and trying to air cool tune to maximum...:
1.) Do I place heat sinks on both top and bottom Qimonda memory chips 4pcsX4pcs ?
2.) What brand and thickness size mm thermal heat pads do I use under memory heat sinks ?
2.) Does this card has those "VRM" voltage regulator MOSFET chips that some guides suggested ? What parts do I exactly heat sink other than memory chips and how to find these chips on the card ?
3.) What is the safe temperature is it that max.50*C ?
4.) When ATI Overdrive values are maxed out what other programs can I use ?
5.) Why Overdrive values are predefined to max. 750 and 500 MHz ?
