[thepizzaman]

If it is supported, either RivaTuner or ATI Tray Tools should be able to.

 

[thepizzaman]

where would i get said ati tray tools?

 

[stormy13]

Latest version of ATT,

ATI Tray Tools 1.3.6.1042 download from Guru3D.com

Latest version of Rivatuner,

RivaTuner v2.22 download from Guru3D.com

Official forums (for lack of a better term) for both,

ATT - ATI Tray Tools - Guru3D.com Forums

RT - Rivatuner Generic Discussion forum - Guru3D.com Forums

authors for both (Ray Adams for ATT and Unwinder for RT) read and post quite frequently.

ok thanks

thats not what i need either........ anyone know of anything else?

There is a good possibility that that card isn't fully supported in either of those. Found this one regarding RT,

ATI 3450 / 3650 Overclocking - Guru3D.com Forums

My take on it is that for the most part Unwinder (and possibly Ray Adams as well) don't realy add in support for the low to low-mid range cards as there isn't really a lot to be gained from OC'ing, etc.

Now with that being said I also found this,

where he did get it to work. Don't know about the bios flashing, but there are some that have managed to get it to work with that card.

well all i am really trying to do is lower the temps on the card it is at its stock setting i just don't like it at 50c all the time i'd like to bring down to at least 45

try speedfan, by almico, i use that to control my fan speeds. Download SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

still not what i need........ i guess a new case would help but i don't want to send anymore money right now......

 

[mpcrsc562]

you're absolutely sure that there isn't an option for you in catalyst control center?

 

[thepizzaman]

yea its odd....... but i got a new case so i'm good
i think that acer locked all overclocking related things so i don't
until i get my new mobo and cpu i can't overclock at all..... o well

 

[stormy13]

All Acer (and the others) do is use a custom bios that has the options that would allow for overclocking hidden. They also had nothing to do with the video card.

One thing I forgot to ask previously, the fan on your card have two wires or three? If it is only a two wire fan then there is no way to control the fan speeds using software. Then the only way to do that would be to use a modded bios (the video card, not the motherboard), downloaded or modded yourself,
