ATI Supports Radeon X1800 XT Overclocking

ATI has sent out an official advisory called "Overclocking Configuration Support" to its board partners which allow a select number of partners to overclock boards based on Radeon X1800 XT chips. This represents a major milestone in ATI’s history, which until now has been very strict concerning overclocking. Not only was ATI against users overclocking boards but ATI refused to support similar activities by its board partners.

ATI’s stance on warranty however, remains unchanged and the advisory warns its partners that ATI will not supply warranty to chips/boards that are damaged by overclocking. All responsibility for warranty will fall on the board makers, so while consumers may not receive official support from ATI, they should still receive whatever warranty that accompanied the product they purchased from its respective manufacturer.
