'09 iMac's and overclocking the 4850....

[amelsen]

I'm about to get my very first mac... any day now - woohooo...

I used to dabble quite a bit with overlocking on my PC... which is a full tower with nasty coolers and so on.. and now I'm getting an iMac, I'm naturally wondering if overclocking the 4850 card is possible - well knowing that it is very very compact, I'm naturally concerned about the heat generation.

If any of you have overclocked your 4850, please share the tool you used, and what results you've gotten. By this I mean, increased speed, potentially pre- and post-benchmarks, as well as stability...

Thanks =)

Don't waste your time ruining your iMac for a few more video frames. But if you insist, see if you can get CCC to work under Windows and use Overdrive to set the clock and memory speeds.
