I downloaded ATI tool and I'm planning on overclocking my ATI Radeon 9550.

I needed something for my rig and was cheap and came with a good amount of ram. It has 256 mg ddr ram on it and plays Quake 3 VERY good. I also played NFS most wanted without any issues. My 'gaming' rig is in my sig.


I want to overclock it but I'm not sure where to start. I already got a PCI slot cooler right under it pushing alot of air out of the area so is that enough for cooling?
 
Most 9550's have just a heat sink on them. They will not overclock well unless you have something to pull the heat off of it. I doubt you will get much more out of it, but best of luck to you.
