5830 Overclock gone wrong?

[The_wand_mirror]

So i have overclocked my 5830 a while back, but it messed up my right screen a bit and it was pretty annoying looking at a weird bar black acting like a scanner that goes from the top to the bottom distorting the screen... So i put it back on default, but i guess this isn't covered by the warranty...

My question is actually, have i caused that? Or was it a fault in the card itself, because well i can hardly sent it back and tell them i've overclocked it and something is wrong now...

(I think it's still pretty quik btw so i don't really suffer any performance form it or anything but when i would like to sell it sometime it might be good to know this sort of thing)

It's not like my graphics card is broke or something it just doesn't overclock right anymore (oh and that last post was false hope btw, the right screen started flickering again)

Unless you know what you're doing.

And be afraid of GPU overclocks, I only put mine at 25 mhz core and 50 mhz memory over stock speeds. GPU's don't deal with heat as well.

My CPU on the other hand I took from 2.7 to 3.3 without increasing the core voltage

Well i also overclocked my previous dual-core from 3 to 3.6 and it went fine =/
