Default my weird 8600gt

it's a bfg 8600gt 540/700 stock

i tried overclocking with rivatuner and stresstest it with atitool. I've managed to get my core clock to 630 and i don't know y but if i go any higher artifacts start poping out and i've heard many were able to get it to 680+. Also, for some reason i can't seem to overclock my memory clock any further for some reason, i can't even get it to 710 without more stuff poping up in ati tool.

People lie.

Always and constantly.

Benchmarks, temperatures, clocks, you find online?
All fakes of imbecile loosers whit tiny egos afraid of rejection.

~+~

Your card doesn't tolerate it.
You can either get a better cooling for the RAM, or live with it.

Just btw, are you sure about the stock clocks? BFG would be supposed to up core to 565.
Also there are diffrent versions of the 8600gt that BFG sells, what do you exactly have? You might be reading OCing guides on a different card m8.

Yep, what kind of cooling system do you have? If any? Check how hot the card is at high load. I'm curious to see what numbers turn up.

the point is i can't even overclock my memory even by a little, and since its a bfg card, the cooler is a thermointelligence fan and it always run at 50c and 60 when gaming
