    Hey guys quick question, does anyone know of a tried and true, safe, clock frequency settings for overclocking the 8600M GT with Rivatuner? Thanks!

    There are DDR2 and GDDR3 8600's. Each 8600 is different. A clockspeed that might be stable for you might not be for someone else. Load up Rivatuner, bump core and mem by 50mhz, and run ATITool for 5min. Then go up by 10mhz and run ATITool again. Keep doing this until you find artifacts, then drop that by 10-20mhz and run a long ATITool test.
